▲Heroes aren't the only ones who enjoy bonding in groups of five. Villains do it, too, and this [[Trope]] is the [[Evil Counterpart]] of the [[Five Man Band]]. This isn't necessarily done to mirror the heroes or provide any sort of advantage; in fact, many Five-Bad Bands are in place even before the [[Five Man Band]] is. Note also that Five-Bad Bands are more fluid than Five Person Bands, open to more roster changes, and there may not even be five of them, though there are never fewer than four.
The roles in a Five-Bad Band are:
Line 14:
* [[Dark Chick|The Dark Chick]] - The counterpart to [[The Chick]], they can vary quite significantly, and is chiefly defined by looking or acting wildly different from the other members, adding color to the group. It's this member that stands out for one reason or another, and may be considered the "freak" or loose cannon of the group, particularly by her own members. If in an [[Sliding Scale Long Name|optimistic setting,]] she will be the one most likely to be [[High Heel Face Turn|redeemed and not die horrifically]] (and probably hook up with [[The Hero]] or [[The Lancer]]). If not, then she becomes a one part [[Dating Catwoman|Dominatrix]] and one part [[Yandere]] for [[The Hero]] (if male, with [[Psycho Lesbian|exceptions]]) if she holds any type of [[Dating Catwoman|romantic interest]] towards him at all. It's also possible for her to be in love with [[The Dragon]] or the [[Big Bad]].
Also frequent is for the group to get a [[Sixth Ranger]] of its own -- possibly a [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]]. Sometimes there'll even be a more classical [[The Lancer|Lancer]]. Just like with the [[Five
In general this team is the ultimate enemy to defeat, being [[Distribution of Ninjutsu|equal and opposite]] their enemies. However, if they are a group sent out by the [[Big Bad]] and have a leadership structure but are nothing more then a [[The Dragon|dangerous group]] to cause trouble then it is a [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]. A Five Bad Team can double as [[The Psycho Rangers]], the collective [[Evil Twin]] of a [[Five
When adding entries to this list, please follow the order as listed above. Also remember, the individual character [[Trope|tropes]] are very specific character types. It is tempting to match one or two possible characters and then shove other characters in a [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] to fit this [[Trope]]. Like the [[Five
Similarly, neither all evil Five
'''Note: There will be [[No Real Life Examples Please|no Real Life examples for this]] [[Trope]].''' As it turns out, there were very few five-member bands of criminals in history, [[Square Peg, Round Trope|and six- or seven-member examples were being added instead]], [[Well, This Is Not That Trope|and that is not this trope]].
