* [[Spider-Man]] has several in his [[Rogues Gallery]]. The most famous is probably the Vulture, who briefly possessed the ability to [[Liquid Assets|steal the youth of others]], but the webhead has also had trouble from [[Gadgeteer Genius|The Tinkerer]] and elderly crimeboss Silvermane.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Frau Totenkinder]] from ''[[Fables (Comic Book)|Fables]]''. She may look like a frail old woman {{spoiler|though she could easily undo her aging if she wished}}, but she is every unnamed witch in fairy tales; meaning she is one of the most powerful Fables alive. While she is firmly aligned with Fabletown, even a cursory glance into her past will reveal that she was(is?) ''not'' a good person. She even fought [[Baba Yaga]] at one point and, in a rather [[Eviler Than Thou]] manner, defeated her.
* [[Shazam|Captain Marvel, Jr]]. fought a villain named Greybeard a couple of times. Sentenced to 99 years in prison when he was a young man, Greybeard served his entire sentence. On his release, he became a supervillain, basing his crimes around the theme of age, to take revenege on a world that had passed him by.
* [[Ambiguously Moral Doctorate|Doctor]] [[Mad Scientist|Sivana]], while not quite as extreme an example, also fit the bill, seemingly at least in his late fifties.
