Rogues Gallery: Difference between revisions

[[File:250px-Batman_Villains_01_8788Batman Villains 01 8788.jpg|link=Batman (Franchise)|rightframe|A [[Added Alliterative AppealAlliteration|colorful cast of crafty criminals.]]]]

It is also common for a hero's Rogues Gallery to have some kind of unifying [[Monster of the Aesop|theme]] that either [[Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance|reflects]] or contrasts with the personality, powers and/or origin of the hero himself. For example, most of [[Spider -Man]]'s enemies gained their powers through scientific mishaps, and many use animal motifs in their names and costumes. Conversely, [[Batman (Franchise)|Batman]]'s array of brightly-colored lunatics falls squarely into the "contrasts with" category, with a smattering of reflection given [[Batman (Franchise)|Batman]]'s own borderline personality - but it's also composed mostly of [[Badass Normal|Badass Normals]]s like Bats himself. If all or most of the villains in the Rogues Gallery are linked in this way, then you have a [[Thematic Rogues Gallery]].

* ''[[Batman (Franchise)|Batman]]'' is a standout example, both in terms of the most memorable [[Batman (Franchise)/Characters/Rogues Gallery/Characters|villains]] and simply in sheer size. Pictured above, clockwise from top center: [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Scarecrow]], [[Jekyll and Hyde|Two-Face]], [[GaiasGaia's Vengeance|Poison Ivy]], [[Wicked Cultured|Penguin]], [[Criminal Mind Games|The Riddler]], [[Catwoman (Comic Bookcomics)|Catwoman]], [[An Ice Person|Mr.]] [[Anti-Villain|Freeze]], and [[The Joker]] at the center. Among those not pictured are [[Manipulative Bastard|Hush]], [[Mad Love|Harley]] [[Villainous Harlequin|Quinn]], [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|Clayface]], [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|Killer]] [[Dumb Muscle|Croc]], [[The Chessmaster|Ra's]] [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Al-Ghul]], [[Career Killers|Deadshot]], [[Genius Bruiser|Bane]], [[The Mad Hatter|Mad Hatter]], [[Bad Boss|Black Mask]], and many more.

** And in ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'', Bruce Wayne's successor Terry developed his own set, including [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Blight]], [[Make Me Wanna Shout|Shriek]], [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|Inque]], [[Brainwashed and Crazy|Spellbinder]], [[Career Killers|Curare]], [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game|the Stalker]], [[Alternate Company Equivalent|the Terrific Trio]], [[Jekyll and Hyde|Terminal]], [[Bomb -Throwing Anarchists|Mad Stan]], [[Who's Laughing Now?|Willy Watt]], [[Evil Former Friend|Big Time]], [[Overlord, Jr.|Preston Powers]], the Royal Flush Gang, and the [[Gang of Hats|Jokerz]].

** Also in ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'', when Terry and Bruce first encounter Shriek, the following exchange takes place.

{{quote| '''Terry''': You know this guy?<br />

*:* Depending on the continuity, poor Batman has had to deal with ''multiple'' rogues galleries. On [[Batman (TV series)|the 1960s TV show]], [[Born in Thethe Wrong Century|King Tut]] and [[Vincent Price|Egghead]] were particularly troublesome. [[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|The animated series]] and its spinoff comic ''[[The Batman Adventures]]'' gave us, among others, Lock-Up and the trio of [[Crazy Prepared|Mastermind]], [[Awesomeness By Analysis|The Professor]], and [[Beware the Nice Ones|Mr. Nice]] (although those three were more in the [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] category, really).

* Similarly, ''[[Superman (Comic Book)|Superman]]''. Includes earthly villains like [[Lex Luthor]], [[Hollywood Cyborg|Metallo]], [[Evil Knockoff|Bizarro]], [[Evil Twin|Ultraman]], [[Powers Asas Programs|Parasite]], [[It Amused Me|Prankster]], [[Psychopathic Manchild|Toyman]], [[Make Me Wanna Shout|Silver Banshee]], [[Robot Me|Cyborg-Superman]], and [[The Syndicate|Intergang]], as well as alien foes like [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot|Brainiac]], [[Kneel Before Zod|Zod]], [[Darkseid]], [[Galactic Conqueror|Mongul]], [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Doomsday]], and [[Great Gazoo|Mister Mxyzptlk]].

** The producers of ''[[Superman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Superman the Animated Series]]'' felt this gallery was really limited; they resorted to using [[Jack Kirby]]'s [[Fourth World]] DC characters, such as Darkseid and his gang, to fill the ranks. They also created a couple of their own villains, most notably [[Canon Immigrant]] [[Psycho Electro|Livewire]].

* ''[[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]]'''s includes [[Norman Osborn|the Green Goblin]], [[Legacy Character|Hobgoblin]], [[Mad Scientist|Doctor]] [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous|Octopus]], [[Venom (Comic Book)|Venom]], [[Psycho Electro|Electro]], [[Master of Illusion|Mysterio]], [[Dishing Out Dirt|Sandman]], [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game|Kraven the Hunter]], [[Badass Grandpa|the Vulture]], [[Ax Crazy|Carnage]], [[Jekyll and Hyde|the]] [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|Lizard]], [[Dumb Muscle|the Rhino]], [[Dating Catwoman|Black]] [[Punch Clock Villain|Cat]], [[Beware My Stinger Tail|the Scorpion]], [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|the]] [[Make Me Wanna Shout|Shocker]], etc. After [[Batman (Franchise)|Batman]], it's considered probably the most well-known Rogues Gallery in all of comicdom.

** The villains are also good examples of villains crossing over to fight new heroes besides their traditional sparring partners. Electro, for example, has become an enemy to Daredevil as well as Spider-Man, while Spidey himself has thrown down with the enemies of everyone from [[Iron Man]] to the Hulk to Captain Marvel.

*** A glaring example is Wilson Fisk, [[The Don|the Kingpin]]. He's become so closely associated with [[Daredevil]] that [[Daredevil (Filmfilm)|the 2003 movie]] used him as the [[Big Bad]].

**** [[Dark Reign (Comic Bookcomics)|Dark Reign]] upgraded Norman "The Green Goblin" Osborn to a universe-wide villain when he {{spoiler|took over the Avengers}}.

** ''[[Spider-Girl (Comic Book)|Spider-Girl]]'', his daughter, has a nice rogues gallery as well. Crazy Eight, Killerwatt, the Dragon King, Funny Face, Soldiers of the Serpent, Quickwire, the Hobgoblin, Earthshaker, Mr. Abnormal, [[Daddy's Little Villain|Aftershock]], Apox, Angel Face, Fury the Goblin Queen, Mr. Nobody, Carolyn Trainer, Killer Frost, Reverb, Black Tarantula, etc., etc., etc.

** Due to villain attrition such as the death of Kraven and [[Heel Face Turn|the reforming of Sandman as a hero]], the [[Legion of Doom|Sinister Six]] has seen a lot of villains take part of the sextet as Doc Ock sought to fill up the empty slots any way he could just to preserve the group name.

* ''[[The Flash]]'', in his comic-book incarnation, has an impressively large Rogues Gallery, including [[An Ice Person|Captain Cold]], the Trickster, Mirror Master, Captain Boomerang, Weather Wizard, the Shade, Gorilla Grodd, [[Pyromaniac|Heat Wave]], the [[Evil Counterpart|Reverse-Flashes]] etc. They were also marked being a really unambitious bunch, considering they all have some incredibly powerful tech and [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check|the best use most can think of is simple robberies of local targets]]. It's implied that many are at ''least'' as unstable as Batman's. Most actually called themselves "The Rogues" and are [[Affably Evil|unusually social for supervillains]]. Gorilla Grodd and Zoom the Reverse Flash are not members of and actually hate the Rogues (the feeling is mutual-the fact that said two villains [[Even Evil Has Standards|are probably the most heinous of the Flash's foes]] is implied to play a large part in the mutual dislike). The Rogues, in turn, have shunned other members of the Flash's Rogues Gallery, such as Abra Kadabra and the Rainbow Raider/s, though they will tolerate them when something big comes up (like Captain Boomerang's funeral) or when their goals coincide.

** Of particular note is that they pretty much have an unspoken rule of not to kill the Flash (bar their ''[[Justice League (Animationanimation)|Justice League]]'' appearance). That they actually recently did it (accidentally) is [[My God, What Have I Done?|the worst thing that]] [[Antagonist in Mourning|ever happened to them]].

** Depending on when the comics were printed, some of Wally's Rogues were sometimes pretty much depicted as being [[Punch Clock Villain|Punch Clock Villains]]s who were actually almost ''[[Friendly Enemy|friends]]'' [[Friendly Enemy|with the Flash]]. Notably, scenes like [http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/the-flash/19-1.jpg this] actually happened in the comic, not just on the cover (that one happened because the Trickster sent Wally an invitation to a Rogues party as a joke - Wally had a date and no better ideas, so he decided to take him up on the invite. All involved find themselves having a surprisingly good time.).

** All of these have appeared in some form in either the short-lived live-action TV series based on the character, or in his appearances on ''[[Super FriendsSuperfriends]]'', ''[[Superman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Superman: The Animated Series]]'', and ''[[Justice League (Animationanimation)|Justice League]]''.

* ''[[Wonder Woman]]'' has the [[Catgirl|Cheetah,]] [[Our Giants Are Bigger|Giganta,]] [[Psychic Powers|Dr. Psycho,]] [[Cyborg|Dr. Cyber,]] [[Alien Geometries|Angle Man,]] Silver Swan, Veronica Cale, the Queen of Fables and some gods gone bad (Ares, Hades, etc.) and other figures from Greek Mythology (Hercules, Medusa, Circe). If it stems from mythology, especially [[Classical Mythology]], its likely Wonder Woman encountered it. However, many of the more recent rogues are often skipped over due to Wonder Woman's continual battle with [[Depending Onon the Writer]].

* Each [[Green Lantern (Comic Book)|Green Lantern]] to headline his own series has had a collection of recurring foes, though they rarely if ever have teamed up collectively.

** Kyle Rayner: Major Force (on loan from [[Captain Atom (Comic Book)|Captain Atom]] and not really his archnemesis, but he's loomed large in Kyle's life anyway, thanks largely to [[Stuffed Into the Fridge|what he did to his first girlfriend]]), Oblivion, Grayven, Effigy, Alex Nero, Fatality, Brainwave Jr., and Amon Sur. Kyle, in an issue of his comic, bemoans the fact that he has a lousy Rogues Gallery, compared to his friend Wally West (The Flash).

* Both the League and the Society occasionally fall foul of various terrorist groups (Kobra, the Illuminati) and shadowy government organizations (The D.E.O., The Agency, Checkmate).

** [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity|The government sanctioned]] [[Dark Avengers]] are The Masters of Evil in all but name. Heck, Loki and former Masters of Evil member Moonstone are part of the team!

* [[Captain America (comics)]]'s gallery consists mostly of threats to the American way of life: Nazis (The [[Red Skull]], both Barons Zemo), terrorist organizations ([[Nebulous Evil Organisation|HYDRA]], [[Fun Withwith Acronyms|U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M.]]), internal threats (The Secret Empire, led by President Nixon), and, of course, The French (Batroc ze Lee-pair). That said, he's also battled more conventional supervillains like [[Playing Withwith Fire|Solarr]], the [[Butt Monkey|Porcupine]], the [[Ax Crazy|Animus]], and the [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Serpent Society]]. The Captain has also repeatedly clashed with the likes of the [[Spider-Man|Scorpion]], [[Daredevil|Mister]] [[The Mighty Thor|Hyde]], and Marvel's version of the [[Ghost Rider|Scarecrow]].

* Since [[Iron Man (Comic Book)|Iron Man]] began as a vehicle for Cold War stories, his gallery were nearly all communists - the Mandarin (not technically a communist but more of a [[Yellow Peril]]), the Crimson Dynamo, the Unicorn, and the Titanium Man. Eventually, when the Cold War threats died down, his enemies became tailored to be antagonists to a playboy industrialist millionaire: [[The Chessmaster|Iron Monger]], [[Manipulative Bastard|Justin Hammer]] and [[Manipulative Bitch|Sunset Bain]] (two business rivals), [[Doctor Doom]] (a dictator and technocrat who has what may be an even more powerful [[Powered Armor|suit of armor]] than his own), the Ghost (an industrial saboteur), [[Whip It Good|Whiplash/Blacklash]] (one of Hammer's longtime employees), the [[An Ice Person|Blizzard]] (an embittered ex-employee who was fired by Stark for stealing from the company, and created his own suit of armor in an attempt at revenge), [[Playing Withwith Fire|Firebrand]] (a radical anarchist determined to destroy capitalism and lead a utopian revolution), the [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Spymaster]] (an industrial spy), [[Femme Fatale|Madame Masque]] (a masked criminal saboteur, as well as [[Dating Catwoman|an on-again, off-again girlfriend]]), Firepower (an armored warrior sponsored by the U.S. government, who wanted to destroy Iron Man when they thought he had gone rogue), the Melter (a crooked industrialist who was run out of business and set out to sabotage Stark Enterprises), Sunturion (another armored warrior who worked for a rival company), and the Living Laser (a psychopath with deadly laser blasters strapped to his wrists, who started out lusting after one of Iron Man's teammates but soon developed a loathing for Iron Man himself).

** After the downfall of the Soviet Union, many of the Soviet villains were altered somewhat, with the Crimson Dynamo armor [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check|being used by petty criminals]] or by people with other non-Communist political agendas, the Unicorn having become a [[Cloudcuckoolander]], and the Titanium Man embittered over Russia's transition to a capitalist democracy and determined to destroy Iron Man, who he blames for the change.

** And [[Teen Titans (Animationanimation)|the animated Titans]] had Slade, Brother Blood, the HIVE, the Brotherhood of Evil, Trigon, Blackfire ([[Lighter and Softer|though many of these names are the same, keep in mind that the animated villains were often very different in terms of personality and motivation than their comic counterparts]]) and a wide variety of gag or [[Harmless Villain|Harmless Villains]]s.

* ''[[Sleepwalker]]'' had a strange collection of original villains, including costumed criminals (8-Ball, the Chain Gang, Spectra, Psyko), [[Civvie Spandex|uncostumed villains]] (Lullaby and the Bookworm), crazed government agents (the Office of Insufficient Evidence, the Thought Police), and supernatural demons (Mr. Jyn and Cobweb). In his short career, Sleepy also found time to mess with the villains of the [[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]] (Brotherhood of Evil Mutants), [[Spider-Man]] (the Hobgoblin), and [[Doctor Strange]] (Nightmare).

* Averted in ''[[Watchmen (Comic Bookcomics)|Watchmen]]'': One of the reasons the first wave of masked crime-fighters didn't work out well was that there weren't nearly as many villains that wore costumes, and they just ended up convincing criminals to work in less conspicuous ways.

* Naturally [[Doctor Strange]], the Sorcerer Supreme of [[Marvel Comics]], has a rogues gallery, although it's extremely unusual. Strange's foes range from other human sorcerers (Baron Mordo) to demonic entities from other dimensions who want to take over the Earth (Nightmare, Dormammu, the Dweller-in-Darkness) to out-and-out [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]s (Shuma-Gorath) to ancient super weapons left behind (Zom). To complicate matters, sometimes these entities use humans as agents or vessels to attack Strange when they can't go after him directly (e.g. Dormammu possessing [[The Hood]]).

* Even though her series is only 38 issues long, Kate Spencer, the [[Manhunter (Comic Bookcomics)|Manhunter]], has quite an impressive rogues gallery. Sweeney Todd, Copperhead, the Monocle, Phobia, Dr. Phobia, Everyman, and Vesetech.

* The [[C -List Fodder|C List Heroes]] of [[Great Lakes Avengers|Great Lakes Aveng -- uhm -- X-Me -- uhm Champi -- uh... Initiative]] have a rogues gallery consisting of Gene "[[Leather Man|Leather Boy]]" Lorrene, Dr. Tannenbaumm, Deathurge (the Squirrel) and Maelstrom. Yes, most of them are even D List Villains.

* In the very early stories written by [[Stan Lee]], even the [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Human Torch]] and [[Ant-Man]] had their own rogue's galleries before they became full-time team heroes. The Torch faced off against the Beetle, Plant-Man, the Trapster, and the Wizard, while Ant-Man battled the likes of Whirlwind, Egghead, and the Porcupine. The Wizard went on to become a significant threat to the Fantastic Four, while the rest of them languished as minor villains... they weren't Stan's best creations.

* Most of the [[Incredible Hulk (Comic Book)|Incredible Hulk]]'s enemies are other super-strong bruisers who can actually go a few rounds with the Big Green Machine without immediately getting turned into roadkill, like the [[Evil Counterpart|Abomination]], Mister Hyde, Madman, the Glob, and the Wendigo. Not everyone fits the bill however, such as the Leader, a [[Mad Scientist]] and [[Evil Genius]] who has as much brains as the Hulk does brawn; the U-Foes, a collective [[Evil Counterpart]] to the [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]] with a similar origin and powers, although they never actually met the Four; [[Energy Beings|Zzzax]], a sentient electrical field; Mercy, a fragile-looking and wayward [[Dark Magical Girl]]; the Gamma Corps, a collection of other gamma-mutated humans who serve the Leader; and Rock and Redeemer, one of whom is basically a sentient shapeshifting boulder and the other who wears a suit of deadly power armor. The Hulk has even battled a couple of [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]]s, like the Crawling Unknown (basically a giant, cancerlike growth that mutated out of control), and Sh'mballah, an [[Expy]] of [[Cthulhu Mythos|Cthulhu]] who tried to conquer the Earth, messed with the Hulk [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|and didn't live to regret it.]] The Hulk is also a popular choice for [[Rogues Gallery Transplant|villains who fight someone besides their traditional enemies]], as he's tangled with the likes of the [[Spider-Man|Sandman and the Rhino]] and [[X-Men (Comic Book)|the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and the Juggernaut]]. The Hulk is also one of the few Marvel characters who has other heroes in his rogues gallery, regularly slugging it out with [[The Mighty Thor]], Wolverine, and [[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|The Thing.]]

* [[The Mighty Thor]]'s rogues gallery is a strange mishmash of mythological villains and costumed criminals. Some of his enemies are derived from Norse myth, like his [[Arch Enemy|brother Loki]], and the fire giant Surtur, and those who hail from the worlds of myth but were created by Stan Lee like Ulik the rock troll, Amora the Enchantress, and Skurge the Executioner, but even in the early Stan Lee-scripted stories he fought mortal villains like the Wrecking Crew, the Absorbing Man, Mister Hyde, the Cobra, Radioactive Man, Zarrko, and the Grey Gargoyle.

* The original ''[[Spider-Woman (Comic Book)|Spider-Woman]]'' developed a considerable rogues gallery of her own during her original 50-issue series in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including the [[Psychopathic Manchild|Brothers Grimm]], the [[Nightmare Fuel|Needle]], the [[Psycho for Hire|Flying Tiger]], [[Evil Albino|Nekra]], [[Mad Scientist|Dr. Karl Malus]], the [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Hangman]], [[Stripperific|Gypsy Moth]], the [[Half-Human Hybrid|Human Fly]] (on loan from Spider-Man), [[Arch Enemy|Morgan Le Fey]], Daddy Long Legs, [[Butt Monkey|Turner D. Century]], and the [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|Waxman]].

* Different incarnations of the [[Ghost Rider (Comic Book)|Ghost Rider]] had their own rogues galleries, including both demonic villains like Deathwatch, Blackout, Hag & Troll and Lilith, and more conventional costumed villains like the Orb, the Water Wizard, and Marvel's own version of the Scarecrow.

* A non-superhero example would be with [[Disney Ducks Comic Universe|Scrooge McDuck]], most notably in the comics by [[Carl Barks]] and [[Don Rosa]]. Along with the [[Card-Carrying Villain|Beagle]] [[Terrible Trio|Boys]], who are constantly trying to rob Scrooge blind, he has to contend with [[Femme Fatale|Magica De Spelle]], an evil sorceress who constantly tries to steal Scrooge's [[Number One Dime]] because she thinks it has magic powers; the snooty [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit|John D. Rockerduck]], who simply inherited his money instead of working for it like Scrooge did; and [[Evil Counterpart|Flintheart]] [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|Glomgold]], who has all of Scrooge's drive and determination but none of his ethics or morals. Later day additions include the [[Evil Foreigner]] country of Brutopia and Arpine Lusene (who's out to steal Scrooge's money simply to show that he can, or, at the very least, make it disappear so he can claim he did.)

** The Beagle Boys, Flintheart, and Magica all became regulars on ''[[Duck TalesDuckTales (Animation1987)|Duck Tales]]''.

* Superman [[Captain Ersatz|analogue]] ''Supreme'' has [[Mad Scientist|Darius Dax]], [[Trapped in TV Land|the Televillain]], [[Galactic Conqueror|Korgo the Space Tyrant]], [[Evil Twin|Shadow Supreme]], [[Evil Twin|Emerpus]], [[Hard Light|Optilux]], and [[Great Gazoo|Szasz the Sprite Supreme]], among others.

* ''[[Aquaman (Comic Book)|Aquaman]]'' has [[Bad Boss|Black Manta]] and [[Cain and Abel|Ocean Master]] sharing archvillain status, with [[Powered Armor|Carapax]], the [[People Puppets|Fisherman]], the [[Charles Atlas Superpower|Scavenger]], the [[Punch Clock Villain|Human Flying Fish]], [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|King Shark]], [[Making a Splash|the Eel]], [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Marine Marauder]], the [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|Deep Six]], [[Shadow Archetype|the Thirst]], [[Blond Guys Are Evil|Kordax]], and [[Fish People|Charybdis]] rounding out the ranks.

* Deconstructed in Bates and Weisman's version of ''[[Captain Atom (Comic Book)|Captain Atom]]'', in which Cap had a fictitious rogues' gallery that the military designed for him as part of his publicly-revealed false origin. Since that origin was, of course, his original, [[The Silver Age of Comic Books|Silver Age]] [[Retcon|Charlton origin]], his fake rogues' gallery, most notably Dr. Spectro, were drawn from his ''actual'' Charlton stories. On top of which, some of these fake villains later ''became'' [[Becoming the Mask|real ones]]. Plus which, they, along with many of his other actual rogues, including, again, Dr. Spectro, as well as Major Force, The Ghost (at one time), and, of course, [[Magnificent Bastard|Wade Eiling]], worked for the same secret military project he himself worked for. Of course, he also had "regular" rogues like [[Dating Catwoman|Plastique]] and the Queen Bee.

* The [[Legion of Super-Heroes (Comic Bookcomics)|Legion of Super-Heroes]] has loads and loads of recurring enemies, including at least three teams of villains:

* [[Tintin (Comic Book)]] isn't a superhero, but he did have a series of recurring antagonists: [[Arch Enemy|Roberto Rastapopulous]] (''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Cigars of the Pharoah|Cigars of the Pharaoh]]'', ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/The Blue Lotus|The Blue Lotus]]'', ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/The Red Sea Sharks|The Red Sea Sharks]]'', ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Flight 714|Flight 714]]''), [[Fascist but Inefficient|Colonel Spontz]] (''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Destination Moon|Destination Moon]]'', ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Explorers Onon the Moon|Explorers on the Moon]]'', ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/The Calculus Affair|The Calculus Affair]]''), [[The Dragon|Allan]] (''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/The Crab With the Golden Claws|The Crab with the Golden Claws]]'', ''Flight 714''), [[Nazi Germany|Dr. Mueller]] (''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/The Black Island|The Black Island]]'', ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Land of Black Gold|Land of Black Gold]]''), and [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized|General Tapioca]] (''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/The Broken Ear|The Broken Ear]]'', ''[[Tintin (Comic Book)/Recap/Tintin and the Picaros|Tintin and the Picaros]]'').

* [[Judge Dredd (Comic Bookcomics)|Judge Dredd]] has a rather small gallery, since (much like Punisher) most of his enemies end up dead, and many of those that he sends to prison don't pop up again. Recurring villains include Judge Death, PJ Maybe, and the recently-retired Mean Machine Angel. One could perhaps also add Orlok, though he tends to tangle more with Anderson.

* [[Scott Pilgrim (Comic Book)|Scott Pilgrim]] has Ramona's league of evil exes as part of Scott's rogues gallery. They are Matthew Patel, Lucas Lee, Todd Ingram, Roxy Richter, Kyle and Ken Katayanagi, Gideon Graves. Envy Adams also serves as part of the rogues gallery throughout books 3 and 6 but in the end she makes a [[Heel Face Turn]].

* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], in his [[Archie Comics Sonic the Hedgehog (Comic Bookcomics)|self-titled series]], has acquired a large Rogues Gallery over the comic's [[Long Runners]]. Aside from his [[Arch Enemy]] Dr. Robotnik/Eggman, Sonic and his friends have also had to deal with Eggman's nephew [[The Starscream|Snively]], [[Evil Sorcerer|Ixis Naugus]], [[Magnificent Bastard|Mammoth Mogul]], [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|the Destructix]], [[Evil Twin|Scourge]] and the [[Psycho Rangers|Suppression Squad]], [[Ax Crazy|Warlord Kodos]] (now deceased), [[AIA.I. Is a Crapshoot|A.D.A.M. and E.V.E.]]<ref> who, despite the [[Theme Naming]], never actually worked together - or even met, for that matter</ref> (also deceased), the [[Magitek|Iron]] [[Dragon Lady|Queen]] and [[Nigh Invulnerable|King]], the [[Feathered Fiend|Battle Bird Armada]], and traitors like [[Dark Action Girl|Fiona]] [[Consummate Liar|Fox]], [[Butt Monkey|Drago Wolf]], and [[Rival Turned Evil|Geoffrey]] [[The Mole|St.]] [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|John]]. And that's not even counting all of Robotnik's numerous robots with more character than mere [[Mooks]].

** Knuckles has a [[Rogues Gallery]] of his own, most of whom were introduced during his spinoff and later incorporated into the main series after the spinoff's cancellation. These include [[Mad Scientist|Dimitri]]/[[Physical God|Enerjak]], [[Complete Monster|Finitevus]], [[A Nazi Byby Any Other Name|the Dingo Regime]] (specifically when led by [[General Ripper|Kage Von Stryker]]), and [[Machine Worship|the Dark Legion]]. The Legion eventually joined forces with Eggman, so they can be considered part of Sonic's Rogues Gallery, too.

** ''[[Sonic the Comic (Comic Book)|Sonic the Comic]]'' has its own [[Rogues Gallery]], now continued on by the fan-continuation ''[[Sonic the Comic Online]]''. [[A God Am I|Dr. Robotnik]], [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Super Sonic]], [[Evil Knockoff|the Metallix]], [[Omnicidal Maniac|Zachary]], Chaos, [[The Igor|Grimer]], [[Complete Monster|Set]], etc.

* Before they lost their powers ''en masse'', the Order of Despots was this to the Pantheon in ''[[All Fall Down (Comic Book)|All Fall Down]]''.

== Fanfic[[Film]] ==

* ''[[Mystery Team (Film)|Mystery Team]]'': Their database seems to contain a large amount of children, people their age, and [[Arch Enemy|Old Man McGinty]]

* ''[[Godzilla]]'' has a vast Rogues Gallery which, in addition to the Japanese Self-Defence Force, includes countless other [[Kaiju]]. Notable among them are [[Arch Enemy|King]] [[Eldritch Abomination|Ghidorah]]/[[Cyborg|Mecha-Ghidorah]] (and his [[Expy]], Kaiser Ghidorah), [[Evil Knockoff|Mecha]][[Hero -Killer|godzilla]], [[Hero Antagonist|Mothra]] (although she's prone to [[Enemy Mine|Enemy Mines]]s), [[Psycho for Hire|Gigan]], [[Giant Enemy Crab|Ebirah]], [[Asteroids Monster|Hedorah]], and [[Big Creepy -Crawlies|Kamacuras]] & [[Giant Spider|Kumonga]]. That, by the way, is without getting into one shot villains like [[Evil Twin|Space]][[Alien Invasion|godzilla]], [[Dumb Muscle|Megalon]], [[Big Eater|Orga]], or the utterly horrific [[Diabolus Ex Nihilo|Destoroyah]] who recur many times within the videogames based on the series, or [[Defeat Means Friendship|former enemies turned allies]] like [[The Lancer|Anguirus]] and [[Fire-Forged Friends|Rodan]].

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==

* The PBS game show ''[[Where in Thethe World Is Carmen San DiegoSandiego?]]?'' had a recurring group of criminals, one of whom would feature as the villain the contestants had to capture in any given episode - Double Trouble, Patty Larceny, Eartha Brute, Top Grunge, Vic the Slick...

* Though ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'' only ran for a few episodes, the series made a point to have multiple instances of recurring villains, including Adelai Niska, Saffron, the Hands of Blue, and, in the comic series ''Those Left Behind'', {{spoiler|Lawrence Dobson}}.

* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', being a [[Long Runner]] show, has a large Rogues Gallery. Some of the villains and aggressors are [[Scary Dogmatic Aliens|the Daleks]] and their creator [[Omnicidal Maniac|Davros]], [[Arch Enemy|the Master]], [[You Will Be Assimilated|the Cybermen]], [[Sociopathic Soldier|the Sontarans]], [[Murderous Mannequin|the Autons]] and [[Manchurian Agent|Nestene replicants]], [[The Reptilians|the Silurians]], [[Living Statue|the Weeping Angels]] and [[Fat Bastard|the Slitheen]]. Several of these races would form [[Legion of Doom|the Alliance]] in "The Pandorica Opens" to save the Universe from the Doctor.

** [[The BBC]] has taken to dubbing the Doctor's [[Rogues Gallery]] the "Carnival of Monsters", a name derived from the title of a serial in which, strangely, only two of them appear.

* ''[[Star Trek]]'' had gotten a progressively larger one as time went on. While ''[[Star Trek: theThe Original Series|The Original Series]]'' pretty much only had Klingons and Romulans, later series would give us the Ferengi (for a while), the Cardassians, the Breen, the Dominion, the Kazon, the Vidians, and, of course, the Borg.

** Star Trek also had recurring ''individual'' villains, namely: [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Harry Mudd]] and Khan on ''[[Star Trek: theThe Original Series (TV)|The Original Series]]''; [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|Q]], [[Evil Twin|Lore]],[[Identical Grandson|Sela]], Tomalak, Daimon Bok and the Duras Sisters on ''[[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation (TV)|The Next Generation]]''; [[Magnificent Bastard|Dukat]], [[Sinister Minister|Kai Winn]], [[Smug Snake|Weyoun]], [[Heel Face Turn|Damar]], the [[Big Bad|Female Changeling]] [[And Zoidberg|and Liquidator Brunt]] on ''[[Deep Space Nine]]''; Culluh, Seska and the Borg Queen on ''[[Star Trek: Voyager (TV)|Voyager]]'', and Silik and [[Fan Nickname|Future Guy]] on ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise (TV)|Enterprise]]''.

* ''[[The Cape (2010 TV series)|The Cape]]'' collected a cadre of creepy criminals to combat, including Chess, Scales, Cain, Goggles and Hicks, Dice, Razer, Kozmo, the Lich, and frienemies Marty Voyt and the Carnival of Crime.

* ''[[Person of Interest (TV)|Person of Interest]]'' has been building up an impressive [[Rogues Gallery]] in the midst of its [[We Help the Helpless|we-help-the-helpless]]-[[Cyberpunk]]-[[Spy Fiction|spy-procedural]]: Carl Elias, an [[Diabolical Mastermind|up-and-coming]] [[The Mafia|Mafia don]]; Agent Snow, a [[The Spook|CIA assassin]]; Root, [[The Cracker|a super-hacker]]; "HR", a cabal of [[Dirty Cop|cortupt cops]] inside the NYPD; Special Agent Donnelly, [[Inspector Javert|who's in charge of an FBI manhunt]]; and the unnamed government department tasked with covering up the Machine's existanceexistence. Plus there's Zoe Morgan, who's more of a [[Dating Catwoman|frienemy-with-benefits]].

* Parodied in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes (Comic Strip)|Calvin and Hobbes]]'' with Calvin's alter-ego Stupendous Man when Calvin imagines many of the people he knows as his supervillainous enemies. Susie becomes "Annoying Girl", Miss Wormwood becomes the "Crab Teacher," Rosalyn becomes "Baby-Sitter Girl," and Calvin's Mom becomes Stupendous Man's [[Arch Enemy]], "Mom-Lady."

* A comic strip in the [[Useful Notes/Philippines|Philippines]], entitled 'Pugad Baboy' (translated: Pig's Nest), about a town of fat Filipinos features several long-story adventure arcs with its protagonist talking dog, Polgas (translated: "Flea"). Polgas has amassed a bit of a Rogues Gallery with recurring villains such as Atong Damuho, Col. Manyakis, and Sendong Langib. Read [[The Other Wiki]] for details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_villains_in_Pugad_Baboy

* [[Dick Tracy (Comiccomic Stripstrip)|Dick Tracy]] could be considered a [[Trope MakersMaker]], as he had his own Rogues Gallery (Big Boy, Pruneface, Flattop, Mumbles, etc.) before Batman and Superman, though Dick tended to off his foes after one or two appearances.

* Many an [[All-American Face]] in [[Professional Wrestling]] has developed quite a rogues gallery if one or more of his championship reigns lasted more than a few months. [[Hulk Hogan]], for example, probably had the most colorful adversaries throughout his career: [[The Iron Sheik]], King Kong Bundy, "Million Dollar Man" [[Ted Di BiaseDiBiase]], [[Andre the Giant]], "Macho Man" [[Randy Savage]], Zeus, Sergeant Slaughter, and [[Ultimate Warrior]] to name a few. More recently, [[John Cena]] has had his share of nemeses, the most infamous being [[John Bradshaw Layfield|JBL]], [[Edge]], [[Randy Orton]], [[Alberto Del Rio]], and [[CM Punk]].

* Sora of [[Kingdom Hearts]] has what is likely one of the most epic instances of a [[Rogues Gallery]] ever, consisting of almost every [[Disney/Characters/Villains|Disney Villain]], each of whom dominated entire movies: [[Sleeping Beauty|Maleficent]], [[Alice in Wonderland|The Queen of Hearts]], [[Peter Pan|Captain Hook]], [[Little Mermaid|Ursula]], [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Jafar]], [[Lion King|Scar]], [[Hercules|Hades]], [[Mulan (Disney)|Shan-Yu]], [[Tarzan|Clayton]], [[Pirates of the Caribbean|Barbossa]], [[Tron (Film)|The MCP]], [[The Nightmare Before Christmas|Oogie-Boogie]], [[Fantasia|Chernabog]], and [[Classic Disney Shorts|Pete]]. The organization XII provides thirteen more flamboyant villains, and the distinction of Arch-nemesis goes to [[Magnificent Bastard|Xehanort]] ([[Kudzu Plot|though he's been split up into multiple characters]]).

* [[Mega Man Star Force (Video Game)|Geo Stelar's Mega Man]] has accumulated a Rogues Gallery, some reoccurring after their main arc. Taurus Fire, Cygnus Wing, Harp Note, Libra Scales, Queen Ophiuca, Gemini Thunder and King Cepheus in the first game. Dark Phantom, Yeti Blizzard, Solo-Rogue, Plesio Surf, Terra Condor, Hollow and Vega with Taurus Fire, Harp Note and Queen Ophiuca returning for their second round. Then in the third game are the dealers consisting of Mr. King, [[Scary Black Man|Joker]], [[Brother-Sister Team|Tia and her little brother]], their alien partners Virgo/Corvus and Heartless. Also returning for their second round are Dark Phantom and Solo-Rogue and returning for his third round is Taurus Fire.

* [[Crash Bandicoot]] has one himself in the form of [[Arch Enemy|Neo Cortex]], [[The Brute|Tiny Tiger]], [[Bomb -Throwing Anarchists|Ripper Roo]], [[Large and In Charge|Papu Papu]], and [[Eldritch Abomination|Uka Uka]]

* ''[[Earthworm Jim (Videovideo Gamegame)|Earthworm Jim]]'' has a rogue's gallery in both the game and [[Earthworm Jim (Animationanimation)|cartoon continuities]], with some villains unique to each continuity. Villains present in both continuities are [[Big Bad|Queen Slug-for-a-Butt]], [[Arch Enemy|Psy-Crow]], Evil the Cat, Bob the Killer Goldfish, and Professor Monkey-For-A-Head. Game-exclusive villains are Chuck, Major Mucus, and Doctor Duodenum and a cartoon-exclusive villain was Evil Jim (though he did make an appearance in an EWJ game, making him a [[Canon Immigrant]]).

* While the 1979 movie of ''[[The Warriors (Filmfilm)|The Warriors]]'' just had Luther, [[The Warriors (Videovideo Gamegame)|the 2005 videogame adaptation]] provided Cleon, Swan, and company with a whole array of colorful gang leaders: Chatterbox, Cobb, Big Moe, and Ghost, to name a few - not to mention Cleon's oldest enemy, Virgil.

* Surprisingly, despite being a [[Superhero]] game, ''[[City of Heroes (Video Game)|City of Heroes]]'' didn't really have a Rogues Gallery to speak of - mostly its enemies formed entire factions, the leaders of which only occasionally appeared. But Issue 18 introduced an actual Rogues Gallery faction consisting of a multitude of heroes, villains, rogues, and vigilantes with their own backstories and motivations for players to battle during Tip and Morality Missions.

* ''[[Champions Online (Video Game)|Champions Online]]'' actually allows the player to create his or her OWN [[Rogues Gallery]] with the Nemesis game mechanic. Starting at level 25, the player creates a custom costumed supervillain with a basic powerset, chooses their minion types, and gives him one of three personality types. For quite a while longer, those minions will occasionally try to ambush the player, dropping "clues" which lead to anti-Nemesis minions. Eventually the Nemesis is defeated "for good", and the player can create a NEW Nemesis - or, if they prefer, can even reactivate a previous one. If a player sticks with a level-capped character long enough, (s)he can create a really significant gallery for himself / herself.

* [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario]] has built up a gallery of his own over the years. It includes: [[Arch Enemy|Bowser]], [[The Rival|Wario]], [[Overlord, Jr.|Bowser Jr.]], [[King Mook|King Boo]], [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Fawful]], [[Ascended Extra|Petey Piranha]], [[The Unfavorite|the Koopalings]], [[A Wizard Did It|Kamek]], and [[Lean and Mean|Waluigi]].

* Each and every [[Carmen Sandiego]] game features a whole [[Rogues Gallery]] of baddies, many of them with names that are [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Incredibly Lame Puns]]s.

* ''[[Superhero City (Video Game)|Superhero City]]'' has a wide and varied Rogues Gallery for your character to battle, whether through missions or as bosses in raids that you can summon to combat and get [[Experience Points]]. The major villains, counting raid bosses, include: Crime boss Kingpin and his [[The Dragon|primary enforcer]] Suit, ninja lord Fuma Hanzo, werewolf pack leader Silvermane, voodoo master Lou, Amazon leader Shieka, galactic conquerors Astronickus and Kemma Azonix, vampire lord Lucius Bloodvayne, [[Eldritch Abomination]] Hollow King, Atlantean racist Dr. Argon, and [[Horsemen of the Apocalypse]] Conquest, War, Famine, and Death.

* [[Kirby (Video Game)|Kirby]] has a variety of recurring antagonists: [[Harmless Villain|King Dedede]], [[The Rival|Meta]] [[Worthy Opponent|Knight]], [[Demonic Possession|Dark Matter]], and [[Bloody Murder]] are the main ones, but if you include recurring bosses and minibosses then it expands to include: [[Warmup Boss|Whispy Woods]], [[Shock and Awe|Kracko]], [[Everything's Better Withwith Monkeys|Bonkers]], [[Dual Boss|Lololo and Lalala]], [[Art Initiates Life|Paint]] [[Rollerblade Good]], [[Monster Is a Mommy|Dyna Blade]], [[Sealed Badass in Aa Can|Galacta Knight]], and more.

* Most of the contestants of ''[[Last Res 0 rtRes0rt]]'' ARE the Rogues Gallery. Having a pack of condemned criminals tends to indicate they've all been put there for SOME reason...

* ''[[Sluggy Freelance (Webcomic)|Sluggy Freelance]]'' - [[Nebulous Evil Organization|Hereti Corp]], [[Yandere|Oasis]], [[Demonic Possession|K'Z'K]], the [[Demonic Invaders|Dimension of Pain demons]], [[Mad Scientist|Dr. Crabtree]], [[Cats Are Mean|The Evil]], and, depending on the storyline, [[Killer Rabbit|Bun-Bun]]. Different members of the RougesRogues Gallery meeting each other has been pretty rare so far, though {{spoiler|a potential meeting between Hereti Corp and K'Z'K's cult is supposedly enough to lead to the destruction of reality}}.

* ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'' has been building up towards a proper gallery for some time now, with members like King Radical, Dracula, Frans Rayner, Mongo the Uberninja, Ronald McBonald, and Dr. Luchadore.

* ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|The Order of the Stick]]'' often brings villains back in new arcs, especially the Linear Guild, with its rotating cast of evil opposites (some of which return each time), and arguably Miko being brought back after her initial "go fetch the Order" arc to participate in the Battle of Azure City.

** Currently, the Order's rouge'srogues gallery consists of the members of [[Big Bad|Xykon's]] Team Evil, the Linear Guild, the [[Thieves' Guild]] (technically), General Tarquin {{spoiler|(and by extension, Tarquin's co-conspirators in the other two Western empires)}}, the IFCC (though only V knows about them, and even he/she doesn't know the extent of their threat), and Qarr the imp. [[Knight Templar|Miko]] and [[Filler Villain|Kubota]] both qualified, but not anymore, due to {{spoiler|both being dead}}.

* ''[[The Non -Adventures of Wonderella (Webcomic)|The Non Adventures of Wonderella]]'' parodies the heck out of this trope as all members of her [[Rogues Gallery]] have names ending in 'ella. She even told one would-be nemesis whose first alias did ''not'' end in 'ella that she couldn't be in her Rogue's Gallery until she got with the program. (They also function as a support group.)

** The Rogues Gallery for the titular Global Guardians (the setting's [[Captain Ersatz|version]] of the [[Justice League of America]], include [[Time Abyss|Abyss]], [[Omnicidal Maniac|The Blood Red King]], [[Everything's Better Withwith Monkeys|Doctor Simian and Prime 8]], [[Eldritch Abomination|Dagon]], the radioactive Megaton, the Mujahedin, the Oppressor, Armageddon Girl, Nemesis, the Masters of Mayhem, Paragon, and the Warlord.

** [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|The Crimestoppers]] regularly fight Evil Mensa, the Seventh-Inning Stretch, the Capital Gang, The Blank, the One Name Bandits, and the Five Senses (Not Six, Because ESP Isn't Really a Sense in the Traditional Sense of the Word).

** The Students at the [[Super -Hero School|Hyperion Academy]] have come up against the Exiles (a group of disaffected, superpowered runaway teenagers), Doctor XX and her minions, the Scions (a group of telepathic teenage siblings), and El Cerebro.

* [[That Guy With the Glasses (Website)|That Guy With theThe Glasses]] has been developing a few throughout it's shows, mainly thanks to the increasing amounts of plot present in them.

** ''[[Atop the Fourth Wall]]'': (Web Video)|Linkara's]] getting quite a list as he's the desperate-to-be-a-hero guy of the site. <ref>Thanks to Apollo, he's no longer alone as a hero, but Linkara is still the main protector.</ref> He's fought [[Mad Scientist|Doctor Insano]], [[Robot Me|Mechakara]], [[Big Bad Wannabe|Dr. Linksano]], [[Humongous Mecha|Neutro]], [[Dark Chick|Dolorem]], [[Dark Chick|Judas]] [[Evil Counterpart|Liz]], and [[Big Bad|Lord Vyce]]. And then there's the [[Bigger Bad|The]] [[Eldritch Abomination|Entity]].

** [[The Spoony Experiment (Web Video)|Spoony]] has been garnering his own group of villains to contend with. Dr. Insano harasses him as much as he does Linkara, and there's also [[Blackest Night|Black Lantern Spoony]], The [[Ultimate Warrior]], The Gatecleaner, and [[Ultima VI (Video Game)|Fucking Chuckles]]. {{spoiler|All of whom seem to be forming an alliance of [[Green Lantern|Lanterns]] working under [[Ultima VII (Video Game)|The Guardian]]}}.

** [[The Nostalgia Critic (Web Video)|The Nostalgia Critic]] himself has a small group of his own, made up of [[Ask That Guy With the Glasses (Web Video)|Ask That Guy With theThe Glasses]], Doctor Insano (to a lesser extent than Spoony or Linkara), Teddy Ruxpin, Zack the Lego Maniac, [[Lost in Space|Dr. Smith]], [[Kickassia (Web Video)|Kevin Baugh]], and [[Fan Dumb|Douchey McNitpick]] (the latter has also harassed other contributors). And of course, [[The Room|Tommy Wiseau]].

*** And he also has a [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]] in the form of the [[The Angry Video Game Nerd (Web Video)|The Angry Video Game Nerd]], with whom he's a good friend in [[Real Life]], but whose characters are always at loggerheads with each other.

** Other villains of TGWTG include Spaceguy and the Alien Space Pants of Nash's ''[[What the Fuck Is Wrong With You (Web Video)|What theThe Fuck Is Wrong With You?]]'', [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Professor Celluloid]], Luke Mochrie's Inner Serial Killer Ralph, half of the [[Phelous]] clones, [[The Angry Joe Show (Web Video)|Bizarro Joe, Corporate Commander]], [[Paw Dugan|Dark Paw]], a Satan/Devil/Demon allegory played by Y, [[The Room (Film)|Tommy Wiseau]], [[Battlefield Earth|Terl]], the villains of [[Apollo Z Hack|The Reviewaverse Saga]], and [[The Nostalgia Chick (Web Video)|Dark Nella]].

* The video [[Crossover]] genre, [[Winnie the Pooh|Pooh]]'s Adventures features ''tons'' of villains for Pooh and his friends to face, ranging from an alliance of [[Disney/Characters/Villains|Characters]], to [[Super Mario Brothers|Bowser's Family]]. There's even a group called the "Villain [[Rouge Angles of Satin|Leage]]". [[The Wiki Rule|It'sIts wiki]] [http://poohadventures.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Pooh%27s_Adventures_villains has a full list of the villains].

* ''[[Kim Possible (Animation)|Kim Possible]]'' has [[Arch Enemy|Dr. Drakken]], [[Evil Counterpart|Shego]], [[Violent Glaswegian|Duff Killigan]], [[Everything's Better Withwith Monkeys|Lord Monkey Fist]], [[Affably Evil|Senor Senior, Sr.]] and his son [[Minion Withwith an F In Evil|Senor Senior, Jr.]], Gill, Motor Ed, Professor Dementor, DNAmy, and others. It's notable that only about three villains ever to appear on the show didn't return at least once. There's even a literal Rogues Gallery of wanted posters taped to the inside of Kim's locker door.

* The original ''[[Jonny Quest (Animation)|Jonny Quest]]'' had only one recurring villain: Doctor Zin. In the first season of the '90s revival, ''[[Jonny Quest: the Real Adventures (Animation)|Jonny Quest theThe Real Adventures]]'', the writers introduced two comparable foes, Jeremiah Surd and Ezekiel Rage. When old-school JQ fans took over in the second season, they were promptly killed off in favor of bringing back Doctor Zin.

* For a short-lived series, ''[[Swat Kats (Animation)|Swat Kats]]'' had an extensive list of villains: Dark Kat, Dr. Viper, the Metallikats, the Pastmaster, Hard Drive... and that's listing only the baddies who appeared more than once.

* Being a [[Superhero]] show, ''[[Danny Phantom (Animation)|Danny Phantom]]'' has its fair share of villains: [[Big Bad|Vlad Plasmius]], [[Egomaniac Hunter|Skulker]], [[Technopath|Technus]], [[Musical Assassin|Ember McLain]], [[Vain Sorceress|Spectra]], Freakshow, [[Jackass Genie|Desiree]], [[Creepy Child|Youngblood]], the [[Joke Character|Box Ghost]], etc. Most of the villains evenly contributed a dastardly deed at least twice.

* ''[[Static Shock (Animation)|Static Shock]]'' has a rogue gallery as a result from genetic mutant explosion, many teens have gain superpowers known as "Bang Babies." Static would usually fight Hot Streak, Ebon, Shiv, and many others. However some of these "Bang Babies" are just confused and stressed young kids who don't know what to do, which sometimes leads to a [[Heel Face Turn]].

* ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]]''' Rogues Gallery includes Mojo Jojo, Him, Fuzzy Lumpkins, Princess, The Gangreen Gang, Sedusa, and the Rowdyruff Boys. [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|The Amoeba Boys]] only ''[[Poke the Poodle|wish]]'' they were evil enough to qualify.

* An odd example occurs with ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents (Animation)|The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'', with the writers introducing a recurring series of antagonists who appeared in various episodes. Examples include Timmy's [[Sadist Teacher]] Mr. Crocker, his sadistic babysitter Vicky, Francis the school bully, Dark Laser the [[Star Wars|Darth Vader]] [[Expy]], [[Literal Genie|Norm]] [[Genie in Aa Bottle|the]] [[Jackass Genie|Genie]], the Ben Stein-voiced Pixies, Anti-Cosmo and Anti-Wanda (and their son Foop in season 7), [[My Beloved Smother|Cosmo's mother]], Timmy's [[Depraved Dentist]] Doctor Bender (voiced by [[Gilbert Gottfried]]), the Nega Chin, Remy Buxaplenty, and [[Imaginary Friend|Imaginary Gary]].

This is not even counting the villains that appeared once or made a [[Heel Face Turn]].

* [[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]] had quite a few recurring villains, including [[Evil Sorcerer|Mozenrath]], [[Vain Sorceress|Mirage]], [[Mad Scientist|Mechanicles]], [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|Saleen, Sadira]], [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Abis Mal, Amin Damoolah, Ayam Aghoul]], and Queen Hippsodeth (although she made a [[Heel Face Turn]]).

[[Anti-Villain|Prince Zuko]], [[Daddy's Little Villain|Princess]] [[Dark Action Girl|Azula]], [[Evil Overlord|Fire]] [[Complete Monster|Lord]] [[Big Bad|Ozai]], [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Jet]], [[Affably Evil|Admiral]] [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|Zhao]], [[Dumb Muscle|Combustion Man]], [[Perky Female Minion|Ty Lee]], [[Knife Nut|Mai]], and [[Evil Chancellor|Long Feng]]. While some of these [[Heel Face Turn|turn to the side of good]], all of them have at least once opposed Aang and Team Avatar, and most of them (save for Jet and Long Feng) belong to one group: the Fire Nation.

* In ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command (Animation)|Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]'', Buzz and the Rangers faced such foes as [[Big Bad|Emperor Zurg]], [[Evil Counterpart|Warp Darkmatter]], [[Psycho Prototype|XL]], [[Our Vampires Are Different|NOS-4-82]], [[Me's a Crowd|Torque]], [[Evil Twin|Evil Buzz]], and [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|Gravitina]].

* The 80s ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 (Animation)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987]]'' series also had its fair share of recurring villains. Apart from the regular Shredder, Krang, and Rocksteady and Bebop there were also multiple appearances from Baxter Stockman, Butcher, Slash, Leatherhead, Rat King. The episode titled "Night of The Rogues" featured some of these recurring villains along with some who had previously only had a single appearance in the series such as Chrome Dome and Tempestra.

Note that sometimes it does drift into [[Friendly Enemy]] and/or [[Enemy Mine]] territory, as the plot needs.

* ''[[Yin Yang Yo (Animation)!|Yin Yang Yo]]'' also has its share of bag guys: [[Evil Overlord|The Night Master]], [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Carl the Evil Cockroach Wizard]], his brother [[General Ripper|Herman]], [[Large Ham|Eradicus]], [[Dumb Muscle|Ultimoose]], [[Evil Counterpart|Yuck]], [[Animesque]] [[Sibling Team|Smoke & Mirrors]], [[Straw Feminist|Saranoia]] and [[Halfhearted Henchman|G.P]] who later became [[Ax Crazy|Fr-ped]], [[Austin Powers|Goldmember]] [[Expy]] [[Evil Foreigner|Pondscüm]], [[Neat Freak|Fastidious the Hamster]], [[The Powerpuff Girls (Animation)|The Powerpuff Girls]] [[Expy|expies]] [[Terrible Trio|Chung Pow Kitties]], and [[Brain In Aa Jar|Mastermind]].

* A truly bizarre [[Meta]] example can be seen with [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20131105112114/http://sonichu.com/cwcki/Main_Page Christian Weston Chandler], creator of the infamous ''[[Sonichu]]'' webcomic. Chris-Chan, as he's often called, has made a long list of enemies for reasons too varied to go into here. His recurring foes include the likes of Mary Lee Walsh, Clyde Cash, [[Asperchu]], Michael Snyder, the Man In The Pickle Suit, and many more.
