Which of these planets rotates in the opposite direction to others?

Jupiter
Venus
Mars
Mercury
Most of the planets revolve around their own axis clockwise. Venus is the exception because it spins in the opposite direction, like Uranus. It is most probably the result of a collision (and merge) with another large celestial body in the distant past.
