^ To an extent, and that was lampshaded by the guys being created by Osborn to cover up other activities. And even then that's just limited to Doc Ock, Sandman, and Rhino. And the Goblin, but that should go with out saying.

Basically he was their Luthor.

But, back to the main point, these villains are really weird looking. Lizard was a goomba from the Super Mario Bros. movie. This version of Electro takes cues from the movie version of Dr. Manhattan and Mr. Freeze, but with a weird chip in his head. His look in Spectacular was great since it made him look like a being of pure electric energy, but I don't know how that would translate into live-action. Can't say anything about the Goblin, though, but that one clear shot of Chris Cooper's Norman Osborn we got reminded me way to much of this.

As for Rhino, I don't know. Giamatti looks alright covered in Eastern Promises tattoos, but I'm not sure about the armor yet.
