Most critics and fans have considered Michael Keaton's Vulture to be one of Spider-Man Homecoming's biggest strengths [1]. Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times called Michael Keaton's performance as the Vulture "one of the strongest, most sympathetic villains of the entire series". Tufayel Ahmed of Newsweek stated that the Vulture is "robustly served in the script" and that Michael Keaton "elevates the part with a deft balance of considered dramatic choices and zany comic book fun". TT Stern-Enzi of CityBeat "Keaton’s sneaky and thoroughly menacing performance is what's needed for this film". Kristy Puchko of Comic Book Resources praised the Vulture as "the best MCU villain” since Loki.Winged Suit: Using reverse engineered alien technology, the Vulture mainly used a special flight harness to give him an edge in battle. The Adrian Toomes incarnation of the Vulture as well as his MCU counterpart appears as a playable character and boss in Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2.

Truly, it was a toss-up as to whether this show or Daredevil would get the top spot, but Jessica Jones’ unflinching presentation of a woman struggling with the aftereffects of her assault made for harrowing television. Krysten Ritter’s Jones was a woman whose virtually limitless strength wasn’t able to save her from being victimized, and that made for relatable storytelling to just about every woman. Still, even with that recipe, it would have been easy for the show to fall into the same tired tropes too often seen with stories about assault: too much focus on the victimization itself, not enough on the consequences of it, or the victim in the aftermath. Yet Jessica Jones defied those conventions, letting its lead talk about what she’d been through, letting her struggle and feel real pain. It also gave us David Tennant’s sinister take on comics character the Purple Man, an entitled, arrogant abuser whose downfall at the end of the first season was fist-pumpingly triumphant. Up until Amazing Spider-Man #676, the Vulture had been the only Spider-Man foe besides Electro to be a member of every incarnation of the Sinister Six, Sinister Seven, and Sinister Twelve. He has also never once served as leader of any group.
