Line 18:
** He deserves credit for effort, though Nero is perhaps not the most obvious of choices.
* ''Kid Eternity'' had this as his superpower, along with invisibility.
** In a crossover with ''[[Captain Marvel]]'', Dr. Sivana revived several villains to oppose them. It didn't work out--Benedict Arnold betrayed him.
* A [[Justice Society of America]] comic had the JSA fighting what appeared to be a band of villains out of history: Nero, Goliath, Captain Kidd, Cesare Borgia, Genghis Khan and Attila the Hun. It turned out to be one guy (a guard at a wax museum) masquerading as all these figures.
* In ''[[Knight And Squire]]'' #3, Richard III is resurrected and he proceeds to resurrect England's other 'bad' kings: Edward I, Charles I, John and William II. The monarchs are granted genetically enhanced superpowers and each leads a criminal army to take over a different part of the UK.
* In ''All-Select Comics'' #7, the sorcerer Terdu summons a group of villains from the past, whom he dubs the 'Men of Evil', to battle [[Captain America (comics)]] and Bucky. The Men of Evil were Captain Kidd, [[Jack the Ripper]], Frank and Jesse James, Bluebeard, Gyp-the-Blood, and three gangsters (names unrevealed) who had died in the elctric chair decades earlier.

Line 53:
* An episode of the 1967 ''[[Spider-Man]]'' cartoon had a bad guy bring wax figures of Jesse James, Blackbeard, and an old-timey executioner to life to fight Spider-Man.
* ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' episode "Escape to the House of Mummies Part II" has the Venture crew inexplicably team up with Caligula, Sigmund Freud, and [[Edgar Allan Poe]]. It's never quite explained how the team-up happened, as it is the second part of an episode for which the first part was never made.
* There's an episode of ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'' titled "Leonardo da Vinci and His Fightin' Genius Time Commandos!", featuring a team of famous inventors, including da Vinci, Edison, Guttenberg, George Washington Carver, and the cavewoman who invented the wheel.
* This is the idea behind ''[[Clone High]]'': [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness]] has cloned many of history's greatest leaders to rule the world somehow.
* In one episode of ''[[The Super Globetrotters]]'', the Time Lord assembled "the greatest criminals in history" into a gang.
