Netizen Review

Big Wheel remains one of the more niche villains in Spider-Man’s rogue gallery, often overlooked in favor of more high-profile adversaries. However, his combination of intellect, technological prowess, and ruthlessness has earned him a certain level of respect among fans. The concept of a villain driving a giant wheel equipped with weapons is both absurd and intimidating, making him a memorable but somewhat comical presence. Despite his lower-tier status compared to other villains like Green Goblin or Doctor Octopus, Big Wheel's determination and resourcefulness make him a dangerous foe. Fans appreciate his ability to make up for his lack of physical powers with his sharp mind and devious plans.
