So a while ago, I posted about how my idea for Spider-Man 3 would be to have Harry Osborn as leader of the Sinister Six, which would be a collection of "lightweight" villains who couldn't carry a movie, like the Shocker, the Rhino, Chameleon, et al (because if there's one thing SM3 needed, it was more villains. But hey, at least this way, they'd be henchmen and not three completely independent villains all doing their own think). And I've been thinking about it and, yeah, it coulda probably worked.

Chameleon - Okay, including him would simplify things since that's one less combatant in the fight scenes, and his special effects would be cheap -- hey, we cut away and there's another actor there! Plus, you could use him for Harry's plan to drive a wedge between Peter and MJ... just have him transform in either party and start sending bad signals. With Peter irritable and aggressive from the symbiote Harry gave him, he wouldn't even try to sort the deception out. Then at the end, you could twist the really rather cliche scene of Mary-Jane being kidnapped by the baddie to having Spidey think MJ is a hostage, only to find it's the Chameleon waiting to knife him in the back.

Electro - Electro can be the joke of the group, the guy who always gets taken out first in the fights (in the comics, he's lost to rubber gloves and buckets of water) (plus he has a stupid costume). Then by the end, he goes mad with lack of power and tries to absorb the entire city's electricity, ala Light Up The Night, becoming a threat to everyone. Thus, you can get Harry joining forces with Peter before a redemptive death (instead of him just getting stabbed, he could sacrifice himself to short Electro out. Much stronger ending).
