* In ''FanFic/BringMeToLife'', the First Evil responds to the alliance between the [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Scooby Gang]] and [[Series/{{Angel}} Angel Investigations]] by gathering together some of their worst enemies. In addition to its canonical servant Caleb, this includes Ethan Rayne, the Beast, Amy Madison, Warren Mears, Drusilla, and Pearl and Nash.

** ''[[Series/PowerRangersInSpace In Space]]'' had [[BigBad Dark Specter]]'s United Alliance Of Evil (rounding up six seasons' worth of villains). The Rangers mainly fought newcomer Astronema, but the finale featured a united assault on the entire known universe.

* ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'' was building up to Spider-Man fighting the Sinister Six before Sony loaned him to the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.

''Meanwhile, at the Legion of Doom...''

** The [[MilestoneCelebration 40th anniversary movie]] ''[[Film/OOODenOAllRidersLetsGoKamenRiders Let's Go Kamen Rider]]'' has Shocker [[BadFuture persisting into the 21st century]] thanks to [[Series/KamenRiderOOO Ankh]] sneaking into [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Den-O]]'s time-traveling train [[ForWantOfANail for want of medals]]; its membership in 2011 includes villains from all over the franchise like [[Series/KamenRiderBlackRX General Jark]] and [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Ryubee Sonozaki/Terror Dopant]].

** [[Characters/MarvelComicsWesternCharacters Kid Colt]] was one of the Marvel western heroes to have enough recurring enemies to make this trope possible. In #127, Colt's ArchEnemy Iron Mask (a blacksmith in bulletproof armour) recruited Bennington Brown (a hypnotist), Dr. Danger (a ventriloquist and master of magnets) and the Fat Man (a FatBastard skilled in the use of the boomerang) to form a CircusOfFear to stage a crime wave in Phoenix, where they naturally ran into Colt.

** Media adaptations of ''ComicBook/XMen'' have an annoying habit of grouping most X-Villains as members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants with Magneto as their leader. Many of these villains have never been involved with the Brotherhood at all in the comics, like Sabretooth, Emma Frost, and the Juggernaut (who's not even a mutant). Others were part of a different iteration of the team and have never worked under Magneto, like Mystique and Pyro. Bonus points if Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are present and willingly serving Mags, even though they were with him against their will in the comics and jumped ship as soon as they were able, and are more closely associated with ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' than the ''X-Men'' these days. Funnily enough, Mystique and Sabretooth, the ones most likely to be on Magneto's side in these adaptations despite almost never being so in the comics, are still associated with ''another'' evil X-Men team: [[MadScientist Mister Sinister]]'s Marauders, who are a lot less picky about who to team up with, though he [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder probably won't be in any hurry to rehire Mystique anytime soon]].

** ''ComicBook/FallOfTheHulks'' gives us the Inteligencia, a group of Marvel's smartest villains. Unlike most examples, they've managed to not fall to bickering and work towards a common goal.
** In ''ComicBook/{{Ghost Rider}}s: Heaven's on Fire'', a Legion of Doom has been assembled to kill the Ghost Riders, consisting of Blackout (murderous vampire), the Deacon (musclebound religious zealot with sacred knives), the All-New Orb (LegacyCharacter to the original Ghost Rider archvillain), Big Wheel (baddie-for-hire who pilots a large metal wheel), Madcap (indestructible lunatic with contagious insanity), Vengeance (ex-cop turned Ghost Rider simulacrum), Trull the Inhuman (alien-possessed steam shovel), and Scarecrow ([[ComicBook/{{Batman}} No, not that one]], but rather a maniac with a pitchfork who commands crows).
* In ''ComicBook/TopTen'', it's established that what would be supervillain teams anywhere else are essentially street gangs in Neopolis, where ''everybody'' is super. There's an ongoing turf war between the Fabulous Five and the League of Evil.

*** ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'': Greg Rucka's run has Veronica Cale and the rebooted versions of Doctor Cyber and Doctor Poison, with unwilling assistance from Cheetah and temporary assistance from Circe, to destroy Wonder Woman / gain access to Themiscyra.

** Media adaptations of ''ComicBook/XMen'' have an annoying habit of grouping most X-Villains as members of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants with Magneto as the leader, regardless of whether or not said villain ever had anything to do with the group in the comics, such as Sabretooth, Emma Frost, or the Juggernaut (who's not even a mutant), or if they'd ever play second string to ''anyone'' (Mystique, who led her own version of the team and has never worked with Magneto). Bonus points if Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are present and willingly serving Mags, even though they were with him against their will in the comics and jumped ship as soon as they were able, and are more closely associated with ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' than the ''X-Men'' these days. Funnily enough, Mystique and Sabretooth, the ones most likely to be on Magneto's side in these adaptations despite almost never being so in the comics, are still associated with ''another'' evil X-Men team: [[MadScientist Mister Sinister]]'s Marauders, who are a lot less picky about who to team up with, though he [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder probably won't be in any hurry to rehire Mystique anytime soon]].

** Media adaptations of ''ComicBook/XMen'' have an annoying habit of grouping most X-Villains as members of the Brotherhood of (Evil) Mutants with Magneto as the leader, regardless of whether or not said villain ever had anything to do with the group in the comics (such as Sabretooth, Emma Frost, and the Juggernaut, who's not even a mutant), or if they'd ever play second string to ''anyone'' (Mystique, who led her own version of the team and has never worked with Magneto). Bonus points if Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are present and willingly serving Magneto, even though they were with him against their will in the comics and jumped ship as soon as they were able, and are more closely associated with ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' than ''X-Men'' these days.

* ''Fanfic/TheBridge'' gives us the posse organized by the mystery BigBad ([[spoiler:later revealed to be Bagan]]), which also works as a [[{{Kaiju}} Genre Crossover]], with evil kaiju from numerous franchises -- Gigan, Gaira, Megalon, Hedorah, Monster X, and King Ghidorah from {{Franchise/Godzilla}}, Gyaos (Normal, Super, and an albino Hyper) and Legion from {{Film/Gamera}}, and Leatherback, Otachi, Knifehead, and Slattern from ''Film/PacificRim''. Most of these parties are joining him for the sole purpose of getting what they want most, which is not pleasant (feasts, destruction, conquest, etc.)

** The Creator/JoelSchumacher-directed movies also have this as all the villains within the movie unite to kill Batman. Riddler joins and eventually leads Two-Face's gang in ''Film/BatmanForever'' and Mr. Freeze allies with Poison Ivy and Bane in ''Film/BatmanAndRobin''.

*** Later expanded during and after ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis''. Witnessing the JLA's much more proactive stance after the murder of Sue Dibny, most of the supervillains band together and form an international organization. This version lasted up until ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint|DCComics}}'' and the ''ComicBook/New52''.

** More or less subverted in ''Film/BatmanReturns'', as Penguin's two allies have no idea that they're both affiliated with Penguin (at least on a criminal level) and none of them can get past the second act without completely and violently falling apart.

* In ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' during the Moxibustion StoryArc, Ranma is weakened and Happōsai (the guy who weakened him) tells every enemy of Ranma's state, and they all gang up on him to give him a beatdown. [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou All but one ...]]
* There was a MonsterOfTheWeek in the first season of ''Anime/SailorMoon'' that brought back monsters who had been defeated previously, with [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin predictable results]].
* The ultimate plan of the Badan Empire in ''Manga/KamenRiderSpirits'' has them revive every single MonsterOfTheWeek and [[StandardEvilOrganizationSquad evil executive]] from the original ''Series/KamenRider'' up to ''Series/KamenRiderSuper1''. Yep, ''every single one'' from all 11 of the {{Nebulous Evil Organisation}}s the Kamen Riders fought previously. Once their members are all revived, the newly recreated Shocker, Gel-Shocker, Destron, G.O.D., Geddon, Garanda Empire, Black Satan, Delza Army, Neo-Shocker, Dogma and Jin Dogma set about dividing Japan amongst themselves.
* Even ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' manages to pull this off, by way of [[spoiler:Kabuto's Edo Tensei, resurrecting ''many'' foes that either Naruto faced himself, or are enemies of the collected Shinobi villages as a whole. Worse, the line-up also included some ''friends and family'' to the heroes]]!

* In ''Fanfic/LostTalesOfFantasia'', a group of Disney villains join forces to lead the Nazis and take over the universe, consisting of [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]], WesternAnimation/{{Pete}}, [[WesternAnimation/TheMadDoctor Doctor XXX]], [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Doctor Dementor and Lord Fisk]], [[HumanityEnsues human]] versions of [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Scar]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Shere Khan]], [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible An]][[AdaptationalVillainy na]], [[WesternAnimation/RunawayBrain Dr. Frankenollie]], [[Series/PairOfKings Yamakoshi]], [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Red Skull]], [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong the Huntsman]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} the Coachman]], [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland Al]][[AdaptationalVillainy ice]], [[WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfIchabodAndMrToad the Headless Horseman]], and UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler.
* Parodied with usual relish in ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' with the episode "Marik's Evil Council of Doom".

* In ''Fanfic/MyLittleMagesTheNightmaresReturn'', Nightmare Moon assembles a team of ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship Is Magic]]'' antagonists as her mooks, including Chrysalis (a necromancer), the Diamond Dogs (werewolves) and Iron Will (a mercenary).

* Often times in ''Pooh's Adventures'', there's a legion of assorted villains that are after Pooh, and there are times in the Adventures where the good chunk of them are featured as the main villains that team up with the villain of the film.
* ''Fanfic/TheBridge'' gives us the posse organized by the mystery BigBad ([[spoiler:later revealed to be Bagan]]), which also works as a [[{{Kaiju}} Genre Crossover]], with evil kaiju from numerous franchises -- Gigan, Gaira, Megalon, Hedorah, Monster X, and King Ghidorah from {{Franchise/Godzilla}}, Gyaos (Normal, Super, and an albino Hyper) and Legion from {{Film/Gamera}}, and Leatherback, Otachi, Knifehead, and Slattern from ''Film/PacificRim''. Most of these parties are joining him for the sole purpose of getting what they want most, which is not pleasant (feasts, destruction, conquest, etc.)
* ''Fanfic/ShinnenNewYear'' has the League of Extraordinary Da'ath led by Yuu of Anime/GuiltyCrown.
* ''Fanfic/TheEquestrianWindMage'': The true antagonists of the series, [[GodOfEvil Majora]] and [[DreamWeaver King Dethl]], steadily add a majority of Equestria's worst enemies to their own alliance. Including the demons and villains of Hyrule already serving Majora, this includes Yuga, Veran, Onox, Ghirahim, Dethl, King Sombra, Tirek, Grogar, Sunset Shimmer, and Starlight Glimmer.
* There are two in ''VideoGame/RakenzarnTales''. In Kyros' Route, they are called the Saint Lords led by Ganondorf. In Kyuu's Route, they are called the Syndicate. Their members include Bowser, Dr. Eggman, and Albert Wesker.
* [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Dead End]], from the MagicalGirl CrisisCrossover ''FanFic/ShatteredSkiesTheMorningLights''.
* In ''FanFic/BringMeToLife'', the First Evil responds to the alliance between the [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Scooby Gang]] and [[Series/{{Angel}} Angel Investigations]] by gathering together some of their worst enemies. In addition to its canonical servant Caleb, this includes Ethan Rayne, the Beast, Amy Madison, Warren Mears, Drusilla, and Pearl and Nash.
* In ''Fanfic/UltimateSpiderWoman'', Jack O'Lantern's greatest goal is to form the city's supervillains into a new crime syndicate capable of seizing control of the city's rackets for themselves, robbing and killing for fun as much as for profit.
* ''Fanfic/HellsisterTrilogy'': In the first arc, Mordru conscripts the Legion of Super-Villains, the Fatal Five, ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' enemy Satan Girl, [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] nemesis Black Adam, and more villains from different time periods and parallel universes to destroy the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes once and for all. In the second arc, [[ComicBook/NewGods Darkseid]] barges in a gathering of super-villains and announces that all of them are working for him as of now. Wisely, nobody objects.

* In the ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'' story ''Fanfic/AForceOfFour'', one old Franchise/WonderWoman villain -Badra- allies herself with three old Franchise/{{Superman}} villains -Mala, Kizo and U-Ban- to destroy the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica and Earth itself.

* The villains' epilogue in ''WebAnimation/JoJosBizarreAdventureOneCartoonistsDream'' sees the formation of one to the tune of [[WesternAnimation/MickeysHouseOfVillains "It's Our House Now"]].

* In the twenty-ninth Gaiden chapter of ''Fanfic/KitsuneNoKenFistOfTheFox'', [[EvilOldFolks Mitokado Homura]] gathers together a group of villains who've all got grudges against Naruto, to include [[CopKiller Mizuki]], [[DarkActionGirl Tsuchinoe]], [[GangOfBullies Yoshida Sanjiro and the Hall Monitors' Guild]], [[WhiteHairBlackHeart Kaguya Kimimaro]], and [[GunNut Kakuzu of the Akatsuki group]], and together they make preparations to attack Naruto [[spoiler:during his and Hinata's wedding]]. Unfortunately for them, [[PapaWolf Minato]] isn't having any of ''that.''
* ''Fanfic/AvengersOfTheMultiverse'': In response to the formation of the titular team of heroes, [[WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan General Modula]] forms an alliance called the Cabal with [[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom Vlad Plasmius]], [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Doctor Drakken]], [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 Vilgax]], [[WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex Van Kleiss]], [[WesternAnimation/TheSecretSaturdays V. V. Argost]], and [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong the Dark Dragon]]. [[spoiler: And it turns out this is just the leadership -- the Cabal as a whole has roughly a hundred members, composed of their respective {{Rogues Galler|y}}ies.]]
* In ''ComicBook/{{Shazam}}'' fanfiction ''Fanfic/HereThereBeMonsters'', Doctor Sivana assembles a new Monster Society of Evil to kill the Marvel Family.
-->'''Doctor Sivana:''' "We've got a big job for you, Ibac. I'm putting the Monster Society back together again. This time, we're going to take those three little costumed trolls that have caused us so much grief over the years, and kill them. That's just for starters."\\
'''Ibac:''' (grinning) "Count me in."

* In ''Literature/TheHoundOfTheDurbervilles'', also by Kim Newman, we get a multinational one that includes Professor Moriarty, Colonel Moran, [[Literature/{{Raffles}} A.J. Raffles]], and [[Film/TheBakerStreetDozen The Hoxton Creeper]] from Britain, Irene Adler and Jack Quartz from America, Literature/ArseneLupin and Film/LesVampires from France, [[Literature/ThePrisonerOfZenda Rupert of Hentzau]], [[Literature/TheJewelOfSevenStars Queen Tera]] of Egypt, Literature/FuManchu and Doctor Nikola from China, and [[Film/DrMabuseTheGambler Doctor Mabuse]] from Germany.

* In R.S Blecher's Shotgun Arcana, 32 of the most evil men and women on Earth (including a man who's either an expy or implied to become Jack the Ripper) are assembled by a fallen angel to join forces with his cult of blood-crazed gypsies. They then descend on the town of Golgotha to steal a particular artifact and infect the entire world with a murderous thoughts.
* ''Literature/AgatonSax'': The book ''Agaton Sax and the Criminal Doubles'' sees several of the previous villains of the series teaming up.
* Three examples in ''Literature/AngelsOfMusic'', another Kim Newman work:
** The Red Circle/Legion d'Horreur in ''Gugniol'', various respectable but unpleasant characters from French literature who have banded together [[spoiler: to satisfy their sadism through snuff theatre]].
** The Order of Xanadu in ''The Mark of Kane'' is an attempt at the "alliance of master criminals" that falls far short of the usual Newman version, comprising [[Film/CitizenKane Charles Foster Kane]], [[Film/ThePerilsOfPauline Raymond Owen/Mr Koerner]] and his fellow DastardlyWhiplash Perry Bennett/the Clutching Hand, [[Film/ItsAWonderfulLife Mr. Potter]], [[Film/MrSmithGoesToWashington Senator Paine]], [[Series/AdamAdamantLives the Face]], Natasha di Murska, and [[Literature/TheBigSleep General Sternwood]]. Notably, Colonel Moran is present, but uninvolved.
** "Deluge" has a standard team-up-for-vengeance version as the surviving villains from the previous novellas reform as the Atlanteans.

* The ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'' episode "One of Us" involves [[DeadlyDoctor Cal/Mr. Hyde]] trying to put together his own Legion Of Doom to take vengeance on Coulson and his allies. The team is made up of himself, [[TheBrute Frances Noche]], [[BrownNote Angar the Screamer]], [[EvilGenius Wendell Levi]], and [[FemmeFatalons Karla Faye Gideon]]. The plan actually works pretty well and they nearly defeat the agents, but it falls apart when [[spoiler:Gordon teleports in and kidnaps Cal for his own purposes, leaving the rest of the team confused and directionless and allowing the agents to outwit them]]. Something of a downplayed example, as aside from Cal, none of these other villains had shown up before.

* In the GrandFinale of ''Series/TheFlash2014''', the newest Negative Speed Force avatar [[spoiler:Cobalt Blue/[[EvilFormerFriend Eddie Thawn]]]] brings the shows main four [[BigBad evil]] [[EvilCounterpart speedsters]] ([[TheFlash/SeasonOne The Reverse Flash]], [[TheFlash/SeasonTwo Zoom]], [[TheFlash/SeasonThree Savatar]] and Godspeed) BackFromTheDead for an epic FinalBattle against Team Flash. They nickname the group "The Legion of Zoom".

* ''Series/{{Smallville}}'': In "Prophecy", Toyman gathers several past and new villains, including Metallo, Roulette, Dark Archer, Black Manta, Captain Cold, and Solomon Grundy, into a team he calls Marionette Ventures. At the end of the episode, he shows his team a list of the heroes and commands them to each target and kill one of them. However, [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse they never appear nor are mentioned again]].

* There's a sort of example done apparently just for the sake of simplicity in the games ''Hero Quest'' and ''Space Crusade'', roughly based on ''{{TabletopGame/Warhammer}}'' and ''{{TabletopGame/Warhammer 40000}}'', respectively. In both games the bad guys are ostensibly "Chaos", but in fact their units are a combination of Orc, Undead and Chaos / Ork, Tyranid, Chaos Android and Chaos Space Marines characters, all united under the control of the same player to destroy humanity.

** The stage play ''Doctor Who: The Ultimate Adventure'' uses this trope, combining Daleks and Cybermen for the first time (outside of [[Recap/DoctorWho20thASTheFiveDoctors "The Five Doctors"]], when the Dalek basically cameos), although the two sides (not surprisingly) end up feuding.

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon'', this is done for the [[PostEndgameContent post-game story]]. In line with the main game's plot dealing with {{Alternate Universe}}s, the final threat that the characters must face are a collection of [[BigBadEnsemble all the previous series villains]], each hailing from worlds where [[TheBadGuyWins they achieved their goals]] because of no main characters existing to oppose them, and led by [[GreaterScopeVillain Giovanni]] under the new banner "Team Rainbow Rocket", with the intent of conquering the entire multiverse.

* ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' has a Legion made up of the main villains from the first 10 ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games[[note]][[VideoGame/FinalFantasyI Garland]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyII Emperor Mateus]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII The Cloud of Darkness]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV Golbez]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyV Exdeath]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI Kefka]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII Ultimecia]], [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX Kuja]], and [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Jecht]][[/note]], headed by the god Chaos, and opposed by the heroes of the same. They're not exactly the most cooperative of groups: They seem to have split between the [[OmnicidalManiac Destroyers]], [[TheChessmaster Schemers]], [[HeelFaceTurn Defectors]], and those who are just plain following their own agenda. But really, that's what you get when you assemble people that are ''this'' unhinged and expect them to get along.

* ''VideoGame/MarvelUltimateAlliance'' features a virtual army of supervillains forming a new Masters of Evil, as well as several cutscenes in which Doctor Doom plot his evil schemes along with his flunkies, er, allies, Loki, the Enchantress, Baron Mordo, and Ultron (one assumes that Ultron was frequently pinched for forgetting to wear {{green|AndMean}} like the rest).
* The Black Cloak Society of ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'' was ''designed'' as a passing mention in an incriminating letter for the sixth game. However, the way the letter's worded implies that at least three of the series' {{Big Bad}}s were part of the society...and possibly ''all of them'' were either members or allied with them. The FanRemake of the second game and the FanSequel have run with the "possibly all of them" theory.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars2'', Bian Zoldark created the Divine Crusaders using the combined might of [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam the Principality of Zeon]], [[Manga/GetterRobo the Dinosaur Empire]], and [[Anime/MazingerZ Dr. Hell's Mechanical Monsters]]. When Bian died, the Zabi family took over as the Neue DC and added new forces. However, unlike Bian's DC, the Zabi's version fell apart just as bad as it did with normal Zeon and by the fourth game, the only one of the original three still active was Dr. Hell!

* ''VideoGame/MarvelAvengersAlliance'' has most of Marvel's supervillains from Hydra to the Brotherhood of Mutants uniting and forming the Syndicate; their goal is to harness [[GreenRocks Iso-8]] (which is capable of enhancing people's powers) and take over the world.

* ''VideoGame/LegoDimensions'' features the BigBad, Lord Vortech, uniting various villains such as the Joker, Lex Luthor, Riddler, Saruman the White, Sauron, Lord Business, and the Daleks to do his dirty work.
* Season Two of ''Videogame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'' deals with The Pact, a villain team consisting of typical Batman rogues led by Harley Quinn (who is [[AdaptationalBadass much more competent and assertive]] than other portrayals) and consists of Bane, Mister Freeze, "John Doe" (the setting's equivalent of Joker) and later on [[spoiler:Catwoman]].
* In ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'', [[TimeMaster Kronika]] assembles a huge alliance that includes almost all the previous villainous factions from ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'' onwards, such as [[EvilOverlord Shao Kahn's]] [[TheEmpire Outworld Empire]], [[TheMafia the Black Dragon Clan]], [[TheLegionsOfHell the Netherrealm]] and the [[CyberneticsWillEatYourSoul Cyber Lin Kuei]], as well as individuals such as [[MonsterFromBeyondTheVeil Noob Saibot]], [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge Scorpion]], [[APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil Frost]] and [[spoiler:[[TokenGoodTeammate Jackson Briggs]]]].
* This is the premise behind the ''VideoGame/{{Hearthstone}}'' expansion ''Rise of Shadows'': five villains from previous expansions band together to take revenge against the good guys and steal the flying city of Dalaran. They consist of ImpossibleThief Rafaam (from ''League of Explorers''), FortuneTeller Madame Lazul (from the trailer of ''Whispers of the Old Gods''), AdiposeRex King Togwaggle (from ''Kobolds and Catacombs''), WickedWitch Hagatha (from ''The Witchwood'') and MadScientist Dr. Boom (who debuted in ''Goblins Vs. Gnomes'' before being expanded upon in ''The Boomsday Project'').

* Dormammu's ending in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' features him gathering followers in the form of Capcom villains such as [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Lord Raptor]], [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Albert Wesker]], [[VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins Firebrand]] and [[Franchise/StreetFighter Akuma]]. ''Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3'' expands the lineup to include M. Bison, [[Franchise/MegaMan Doctor Wily]] and [[VideoGame/{{Cyberbots}} Devilotte]].
* The ''Videogame/TrailsSeries'' has Ouroboros, a shadowy organization often working behind the scenes of the various games of which various major and minor villains throughout the series are either members of or associated with.
* In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', the loose alliance against [[TheFederation the NCR]] headed by [[TheEmpire Caesar's Legion]] can be seen as this. The game begins with the Legion allied with [[RevengeBeforeReason the Great Khans]], [[AxCrazy the Fiends]], [[TheMafia the Omertas]], and [[BanditClan the White Legs]]. The player can then aid them by recruiting [[GunNut the Boomers]], [[ImAHumanitarian the White Gloves]], and even [[NaziGrandpa the remnants of the Enclave]].

* The [[https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/axisofsomething Axis of...Something]] in ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'', comprising the guy who insists disagreeing with him makes Ethan "arrogant", Walter Mondale (seeking revenge on Reagan) and Faz. Their leader is a character who was fired from the store in her first appearance and has been plotting revenge ever since (ironically, this was what convinced Robin that nothing significant ever happened at Shortpacked, since none of the important characters were fired. Guess she really shouldn't have [[CerebusSyndrome pulled that drama tag]]). The Axis later [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/axis-of-something-20 returned]], still led by Sydney Yus, with an even more absurd line-up (Malaya's roommate, because she never paid the rent on time; Ethan's counterpart in the [=McAwesome's=] SimilarSquad, rebuit as a cyborg; Mike because he was bored; and Leslie's ex-husband, who thought it was a bible study group.)
* ''Webcomic/TheCrossoverlord'' assembled one of these by gathering enemies of each story's main characters -- at least one for each hero, two in the case of Webcomic/{{Dasien}}, but none for Webcomic/TheGreenAvenger (maybe because her only enemy at the point was a walking alarm clock, or [[spoiler:because she was brainwashed]]).

* The Dark Legion in ''Webcomic/DeviantUniverse'', which has had two incarnations of the course of the story.
* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'':
** The Warriors of Darkness, four villains assembled to be the opposite number to the Warriors Of Light. In practice, they're a group of {{Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain}}s who range from being too harmless to being too moronic to be of any threat.
** The Warriors Of Light themselves could count too, at least on the "doom" part, having a kill streak spanning several continents' worth of genocide and the [[PhlebotinumKilledTheDinosaurs KT event]].

* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' fancomic ''Webcomic/The10Doctors'', apparently influenced by the lack of this trope in the series (see above), goes nuts with it. [[TheTrickster The Celestial Toymaker]] is working for [[AGodAmI Omega]]. The [[EnemyCivilWar Renegade Daleks]] are taking commands from [[EnemyWithout the Valeyard]]. [[MadScientist The Rani]] is assisting [[EnemyCivilWar Davros and the Imperial Daleks]], who are themselves controlling [[TheAssimilator the Cybermen]]. [[EvilCounterpart The Master]] is using the War Chief and the [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Sontarans]] to form a massive fleet of Ice Warriors, Draconians, and many other aliens from the Doctor's past. And that's just for ''starters''.

* ''WebVideo/RandomEncounters'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeGxemEYZpU "Arkham Rock Opera"]] has Batman cornered by one made up of his RoguesGallery, led by Black Mask and involving Joker, Harley Quinn, Riddler, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Penguin, Catwoman, Ra's al Ghul, Hugo Strange, and Bane. [[spoiler:They almost succeed in killing him, but Catwoman ultimately turns on them and helps Batman escape.]]

* The ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'' has several: [[ComicBook/TheAvengers the Masters of Evil]], [[ComicBook/SpiderMan the Sinister Six]], Hood's Gang, [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Frightful Four]], etc.

** The Council of Kangs is made entirely of ConquerorFromTheFuture Kang the Conqueror and [[AllianceOfAlternates his various iterations created by time travel]].

%%* There was a MonsterOfTheWeek in the first season of ''Anime/SailorMoon'' that did this, with predictable results.
* Before ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'''s Great Shocker below, there was the Badan Empire in ''Manga/KamenRiderSpirits'', which revived every single MonsterOfTheWeek and BigBad from the ''Franchise/KamenRider'' franchise up to ''Series/KamenRiderSuper1'' midway through the plot.

* The main antagonistic force of ''VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2'' is the group known as Void, who seek to find the GreaterScopeVillain and exploit his [[BornLucky "divine luck"]] to better themselves. Its members are [[BigBad wizard Mikado Sannoji]], [[spoiler:[[TheDragon journalist Nikei Yomiuri]], [[EvilGenius actress Emma Magorobi]], [[TheBrute boxer Hajime Makunouchi]], and [[TheDarkChick painter Iroha Nijiue]]]].
