r. Sam Raimi’sSpider - Mantrilogy have a smorgasbord of larger - than life character ,   from demented scientist to industry - leading academics with alone knowledge in their field . Much like the comic record on which the films were based upon , these flick aimed to give audiences a glimpse into a heightened man where more surreal affair were possible .

But despite their obvious intelligence , many of these intellect had flaws holding them back from achieving greatness . And more often than not , they end up unleashing devastation on those around them . With this in mind , here are the 10 most well-informed characters from   Sam Raimi’sSpider - Mantrilogy .

Aunt May

While she may miss an MD or PhD , Aunt Maymore than make up for it with her obvious copiousness of born intelligence . Using what little opportunities she has been give ,   Aunt May   has ramp up a unspoiled life for herself . She has weather many hardships over her liveliness and wield to overcome them through her wits her optimism .

what is more , though her visual aspect would suggest she ’s just a sort   elderly   lady , it ’s in spades potential that she know more than she ’s letting on , and may very well have figured out Peter ’s enigma .

J. Jonah Jameson

While it ’s truthful that J. Jonah Jameson comes across as a brash , biased mug with ire direction issues , he still runs a successful paper . That does n’t happen without a sure grade of intelligence agency .

And in spite of the loud - sassing persona he chooses to demo to the world , when the chips are down he ’s still able-bodied to do the right matter .   Jameson proves this   in the first movie when he is being interrogate by theGreen Goblinfor the name of the photographer who take Spider - Man ’s photos , and refuses to rat Peter out .

Gwen Stacy

While by no mean value a maven , Gwen Stacy is an intellectual dark horse . After all , she was in the same skill category as Peter Parker at Empire State University . In many mode , it could even be indicate that she and Peter are a better match and have more in coarse than he and Mary Jane ever did .

However , in contrast , Gwen was n’t all about education and certainly was n’t a Christian Bible dirt ball like Peter .   She was n’t afraid to explore other aspects of herself , through her modeling , where she unfortunately gather Eddie Brock .

Rosalie Octavius

married woman of the brilliant Dr. Otto Octavius , Rosie is easily command due to her comparatively minor appearance inSpider - Man 2 . However , there ’s no question that   she is brilliant in her own right hand .

Studying English literature at college , Rosie excelled in her field , with even the brilliant Otto Octavius claim that the Holy Scripture she was studying were more difficult than his ripe science classes . It ’s ill-defined what Rosie went on to do professionally , though she can be seen help Otto   with his experiment .

John Jameson

Though he only made a small-scale appearing in the 2nd photographic film and was given very small to do , John Jameson is surprisingly intelligent . He is an astronaut , after all — a detail that could have been easy miss , as the film does n’t really make a big deal about it .

The breeding required to become an cosmonaut is vivid on both a physical and intellectual floor . John Jameson would have been pushed to the limits .

Norman Osborn

Much like every other mega - rich corporation possessor , Norman Osborn was just one sorry geological fault — and data-based gasolene   — away from having a psychopathologic breakdown , going on a homicidal rampage against the appendage of the board   who wronged him .

But before his killing spree days , Norman was a straight - up wizardry . He work up   Oscorp Industries up from nothing using his own scientific know - how and business insightfulness , creating a corporation to rival that of Stark Industries . And although it was   Norman ’s company ’s own untested formula that led to his death , the sailplane worked fairly well , right ?

Dr. Stromm

Quite possible the smartest person at Oscorp , Dr. Stromm was the only scientist who saw the dangers of the goblin formula , and insisted that they should n’t continue onto human tribulation due to the grievous and black results he had witness at first hand during their experiments on mice . Despite this , Norman foolishly went ahead with human trials .

Dr. Stromm only made a little coming into court in theoriginal moviebefore he was tragically kill trying to save Norman Osborn ’s life , desperately undertake to execute CPR until the goblin rule took grip of Norman and he was engulf in the madness , as Stromm auspicate he would be .

Dr. Connors

Dr. Curt Connors was criminally underused throughout the trilogy . It can be presumed that if succeeding films had been made he would have gone on to have a big role , but as it stands he had only a minuscule about of silver screen sentence .

But despite this , there ’s no abnegate that Curt is one of the world ’s run experts in his field of biological science , with Peter even coming to him for avail upon the discovery of the black alien symbiote . It ’s unobserved in the trilogy , but of course Dr.   Connors goes on to become to villainous Lizard , who appeared in the reboot , The Amazing Spider - Man .

Otto Octavius

Dr. Otto Octavius , aka Doc Ock , was a superb scientist at the very cutting edge of his field , perform experiment like none had ever seen before . fit with four mechanical branch and boasting the most sophisticated artificial intelligence , he was unparalleled .

But his arrogance was his undoing , cost him not only his mind but his beloved married woman , Rosie . The contrived intelligence then overpowered his mind , and his transformation was concluded . Thankfully Otto redeemed himself in his net moments , using his intelligence to overpower the flagitious implements of war the controlled him .

Peter Parker

Though Peter Parker may be the obvious solvent , there ’s no doubt that he is the most intelligent . Despite his young eld and still being at college , he consistently displays his intelligence and originative mentation above those his senior .

Whether it be prefigure that Otto Octavius may have made a miscalculation or   bringing   him out of his rabidness without violence , Peter prove his genius clock time and again his genius , despite a few trip along the way .
