History Main / RoguesGallery

* [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] has built up a gallery of his own over the years. It includes: [[ArchEnemy Bowser]], [[TheRival Wario]], [[OverlordJr Bowser Jr.]], [[KingMook King Boo]], [[EnsembleDarkhorse Fawful]], [[AscendedExtra Petey Piranha]], [[TheUnfavourite the Koopalings]], [[AWizardDidIt Kamek]], and [[LeanandMean Waluigi]] (well, the latter of these is more a Luigi rogue, but...).

* ''NightMan'' managed to get a fairly formidable Rogues Gallery despite the show lasting only two seasons and the fact that most [[VillainOfTheWeek villains of the week]] often got killed through [[GoodIsNotNice the hero's actions]]. Recurring antagonists included [[WarForFunAndProfit Chang]], [[PsychicPowers Chrome]], [[ShapeShifting E. Haskell Bridges]], [[DarkMagicalGirl Selene]], [[MindControl Rachel Lang]], and [[NewMediaAreEVil Kieran Keyes]].

SuperHero series, borrowing from the comic books, almost always have a Rogues Gallery. Of course, villains can and do appear outside their traditional rogues galleries, fighting heroes they don't usually face. Some even become part of more than one Rogues Gallery, with the Marvel villain Kingpin being a major enemy of both {{Daredevil}} and Franchise/SpiderMan. When this occurs to such an extent that the villain becomes more identified with the new hero, they become a RoguesGalleryTransplant.

* A non-superhero example would be with [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Scrooge McDuck]], most notably in the comics by Creator/CarlBarks and DonRosa. Along with the [[CardCarryingVillain Beagle]] [[TerribleTrio Boys]], who are constantly trying to rob Scrooge blind, he has to contend with [[FemmeFatale Magica De Spelle]], an evil sorceress who constantly tries to steal Scrooge's NumberOneDime because she thinks it has magic powers; the snooty [[UpperClassTwit John D. Rockerduck]], who simply inherited his money instead of working for it like Scrooge did; and [[EvilCounterpart Flintheart]] [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney Glomgold]], who has all of Scrooge's drive and determination but none of his ethics or morals, Blackheart Beagle The Beagle Boys' grandfather, founder and occasional leader who is constantly trying to rob Scrooge blind and along with his family The Beagle Boys. Later day additions include the 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.)

** ''Comicbook/SonicTheComic'' has its own RoguesGallery, now continued on by the fan-continuation ''Webcomic/SonicTheComicOnline''. [[AGodAmI Dr. Robotnik]], [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Super Sonic]], [[EvilKnockoff the Metallix]], [[OmnicidalManiac Zachary]], Chaos, [[TheIgor Grimer]], Set, etc.

* Franchise/SpiderMan's Rogues are prominently featured all over Creator/{{Gottlieb}}'s ''Pinball/TheAmazingSpiderMan'' pinball. Green Goblin, the Vulture, Dr. Octopus, and the Black Widow are on the backglass, while the playfield has the Lizard, the Kingpin, Kraven the Hunter, and the Scorpion.

* Many an AllAmericanFace in ProfessionalWrestling has developed quite a rogues gallery if one or more of his championship reigns lasted more than a few months. Wrestling/HulkHogan, for example, probably had the most colorful adversaries throughout his career: Wrestling/TheIronSheik, King Kong Bundy, "Million Dollar Man" Wrestling/TedDiBiase, Wrestling/AndreTheGiant, "Macho Man" Wrestling/RandySavage, Zeus, Wrestling/SgtSlaughter, and Wrestling/UltimateWarrior to name a few. More recently, Wrestling/JohnCena has had his share of nemeses, the most infamous being [[Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield JBL]], Wrestling/{{Edge}}, Wrestling/RandyOrton, Wrestling/AlbertoDelRio, and Wrestling/CMPunk.

** The FF have fought a number of heroes, some of whom debuted fighting the Four. These include [[Comicbook/SubMariner Namor]], Hulk, the BlackPanther, and the SilverSurfer.

* In the same universe as ''Ultimate Sleepwalker'', we have ''[[Fanfic/UltimateSpiderWoman Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]''. Our arachnid heroine has tangled with the likes of [[AnIcePerson Blizzard]], [[PyroManiac Firebrand]], [[PsychopathicManchild the Brothers]] [[MadArtist Grimm]], [[NeverMyFault Will O']][[GhostLights the Wisp]], [[HardLight Moon]][[PsychoPsychologist stone]], [[BrokenBird Tarot]], [[ImprobableWeaponUser Boomerang]], [[GangBangers the Nasty Boys]], [[WhipItGood the Constrictor]], [[SelectiveMagnetism Pole]][[TheUnfavorite star]], [[WhosLaughingNow the Bookworm]], [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants]], [[PsychoElectro Super]][[StalkerWithACrush charger]], [[InHarmsWay Joystick]], [[BadGuysPlayPool 8-Ball]], [[WhatHaveIBecome May]][[MindRape hem]], [[PowersAsPrograms Net]][[AllGirlsWantBadBoys shape]], and [[AxCrazy Jack O']] [[ArchEnemy Lantern]].

** Ten of Ben's Villains even teamed up against him forming the Negative 10.

* The ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' had a Rogues Gallery including [[BigBad Slade]], who usually employed Cinderblock, Plasmus, or Overload, the Hive Five with [[DarkActionGirl Jinx]], [[DumbMuscle Mammoth]], and [[GadgeteerGenius Gizmo]], and several other reoccurring villains such as Mad Mod, Dr. Light, Mumbo, and Control Freak. Eventually nearly all of the previous villains teamed up to form the [[LegionOfDoom Brotherhood of Evil]]. Control Freak was particularly offended when the Titans didn’t include him on their list of villains to watch out for because, as he {{lampshade|Hanging}}s, “I am a reoccurring villain.”

* Like the ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'' example above, most of the foes for Optimus's team of Autobots ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' were Decepticons. However, only a few were able or willing to directly further the BigBad Megatron's plans, and many of the Decepticons and their allies ([[TheStarscream Starscream]], [[FemmeFatale Blackarachnia]], [[BountyHunter Lockdown]], etc.) could serve as a major independent threat for any given episode. The minor human villains ([[CorruptCorporateExecutive Porter C. Powell]], [[PlayingWithSringes Meltdown]], and [[GadgeteerGenius Henry Masterson]], for instance) also served as a more traditional RoguesGallery.

* {{Daredevil}}, despite usually keeping to one area of New York City, has managed to rack up quite a Rogues Gallery, amongst them [[MagnificentBastard the Kingpin]], assassin for hire [[AxCrazy Bullseye]], on and off again girlfriend / Greek Goddess of Death {{Elektra}}, evil ninja cult [[ConservationOfNinjutsu the Hand]], and then there's [[GeniusBruiser Bullet]], [[TheChewToy Stilt-Man]], [[ButtMonkey Turk]], [[SplitPersonality Typhoid Mary]], [[EvilAlbino Tombstone]], [[JekyllAndHyde Mister Hyde]], [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Mister Fear]], the [[TouchOfDeath Death-Stalker]], [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} the Gladiator]], the [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain Eel]], and [[PsychoElectro Electro]] and [[MasterOfIllusion Mysterio]], who DD shares with Franchise/SpiderMan. Even AntiHero Comicbook/ThePunisher clashes with Daredevil often enough that the two show up in each other's series at least once on each run!

* The Mortal Kombat Wiki has their own little Gallery, compromised of two {{Troll}}s:[[ArchEnemy Mollusc/Maniac Cop]] and Barry, a troll who has ban evaded and gone under numerous alternate usernames. Mollusc was particularly annoying and constantly swore revenge, before the user Byakuya600 infinitely range blocked him, so nobody, even logged in users, who were on his IP Address could use the MK Wiki. AndIMustScream, indeed.

!!Examples:

[[folder:Film]]

* Disney/{{Aladdin}} had quite a few recurring villains, including [[EvilSorcerer Mozenrath]], [[VainSorceress Mirage]], [[MadScientist Mechanicles]], [[StalkerWithACrush Saleen, Sadira]], [[IncrediblyLamePun Abis Mal, Amin Damoolah, Ayam Aghoul]], and Queen Hippsodeth (although she made a HeelFaceTurn).

* Disney villains in general.

** They have an unspoken rule of not to kill the Flash (bar their ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' appearance). That they actually recently did it (accidentally) is [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone the worst thing that]] [[AntagonistInMourning ever happened to them]].

** After the downfall of the Soviet Union, [[WhyWereBummedCommunismFell many of the Soviet villains were altered somewhat]], with the Crimson Dynamo armor [[CutLexLuthorACheck 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' has [[ArchEnemy Dr. Drakken]], [[EvilCounterpart Shego]], [[ViolentGlaswegian Duff Killigan]], [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Lord Monkey Fist]], [[AffablyEvil Senor Senior, Sr.]] and his son [[MinionWithAnFInEvil 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 Mortal Kombat Wiki has their own little Gallery, compromised of two {{Trolls}}:[[ArchEnemy Mollusc/Maniac Cop]] and Barry, a troll who has ban evaded and gone under numerous alternate usernames. Mollusc was particularly annoying and constantly swore revenge, before the user Byakuya600 infinitely range blocked him, so nobody, even logged in users, who were on his IP Address could use the MK Wiki. AndIMustScream, indeed.

* Aang from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' has a rogues gallery. [[AntiVillain Prince Zuko]], [[DaddysLittleVillain Princess]] [[DarkActionGirl Azula]], [[EvilOverlord Fire Lord]] [[BigBad Ozai]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist Jet]], [[AffablyEvil Admiral]] [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Zhao]], [[DumbMuscle Combustion Man]], [[PerkyFemaleMinion Ty Lee]], [[KnifeNut Mai]], and [[EvilChancellor Long Feng]]. While some of these [[HeelFaceTurn 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.

** After the downfall of the Soviet Union, [[WhyWereBummedCommunismFell many of the Soviet villains were altered somewhat]], with the Crimson Dynamo armor [[CutLexLuthorACheck 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.

Even AntiHero Comicbook/ThePunisher clashes with Daredevil often enough that the two show up in each other's series at least once on each run!

* ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'' has a variety of recurring antagonists: [[HarmlessVillain King Dedede]], [[TheRival Meta]] [[WorthyOpponent Knight]], [[DemonicPossession Dark Matter]], and [[BloodyMurder 0]] are the main ones, but if you include recurring bosses and minibosses then it expands to include: [[WarmupBoss Whispy Woods]], [[ShockandAwe Kracko]], [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Bonkers]], [[DualBoss Lololo and Lalala]], [[ArtInitiatesLife Paint]] {{Roller|bladeGood}}, [[MonsterisaMommy Dyna Blade]], [[SealedBadassinaCan Galacta Knight]], and more.

*** In a Justice League episode, Epilogue, the alternate-future-green lantern of the time specifically complained that most of the villains attacking the future league were from Terry's Rogues Gallery.
