* Percy Jackson of ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' ends up having a rogue's gallery of various Greek (and now Roman) characters, including the Furies, the Minotaur, Medusa, Cerberus, Hyperion, Kronos, Gaea, Polybotes, Ares, Luke Castellan, The Nemean Lion, The Gorgons and Anteus, among others. Similarly, the Egyptian heroes of ''Literature/TheKaneChronicles'', which take place in the same universe, have a rogues gallery of their own, including Aphophis, Setne, Sobek, and Vladimir Menshikov. Though, due to how there are far less named monsters in Myth/EgyptianMythology, and being a shorter book series, its naturally going to be less than Percy's.

Isn't it more appropriate to use a defining character trait instead of the unintended reaction of a specific part of the audience?


* Not a standard Superhero gig, but the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' books have a Rogues Gallery of Death Eaters, including (though most definitely not limited to) [[DracoInLeatherPants Draco Malfoy]], [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Lucius Malfoy]], [[NotSoHarmlessVillain Peter Pettigrew]], [[AxCrazy Bellatrix Lestrange]], and [[BigBad Voldemort]] himself. There are essentially the colorful rogues gallery and the Death Eaters who are not fleshed out enough to be more than {{Mooks}}. There isn't really an official distinction between these two groups in-universe.

* Jess Nevins notes that Dr. Jack Quartz assembled many of Nick Carter's former foes as part of a coordinated effort against Nick Carter.
** DimeNovel hero Literature/NickCarter had quite an assortment of enemies: Dr Jack Quartz, his Arch-Enemy; Dazaar the Arch Fiend, mistress of disguise and master knife thrower; Scylla the Sea Robber, a female pirate with an all female crew; Baroness Latour; Zanoni the Woman Wizard; Praxatel of the Iron Arm, one of the first cyborgs; the gambler Dan Derrington; Burton Quintard, Nick's first recurring foe; Gaston Dupont, a student of Professor Quartz's; the six Dalney Brothers, each one stronger than even Nick himself, etc.

* Despite it being a superhero novel, the concept is mentioned but mostly unseen in ''Literature/LegacyTheTaleOfTheAmericanEagle''; in American Eagle's hideout in an early chapter, a trophy wall is described and several names are dropped, but since he leaves the country immediately after for the majority of the book, details about them are left in the air [[spoiler:upon his return in the final chapter, two are shown; Arsenic (who wasn't mentioned in the tropy wall), and 9 Volt (who was).

* ''Franchise/{{Zorro}}'':
** Unlike Batman, who he would later inspire (both on a meta level and within the Dark Knight's own comic book continuity), Zorro doesn't really have a large or recognizable list of recurring enemies, unless you look to adaptations outside of the original pulp novels where he first appeared. As far as the novels are concerned, Zorro's foes consisted largely of one-shot villains, including Captain Ramon and Sergeant Gonzales in the first book, ''The Curse of Capistrano''.
** The 1957 ''Series/{{Zorro|1957}}'' TV series (starring Guy Williams) had the likes of Captain Monastario, Licenciado Piña, Sergeant García and Corporal Reyes, Andrés Felipe Basilio, and the Eagle and his agents as recurring villains, with García being mostly a PunchClockVillain who could be quite a nice guy when he wasn't following Monastario's orders.
** The 1993 ''Zorro'' comic book series, published by Topps Comics, gives Zorro a small gallery consisting of Captain Monasterio and Sergeant Garcia (again), [[DatingCatwoman Lady Rawhide]], [[BadassNative Moonstalker]], and [[BadassSpaniard Lucien Machete]].
** ''Anime/KaiketsuZorro'' has Commander Raymond and his [[TheDragon second-in-command Gabriel]], along with Sergeant Gonzales, Captain Jekyll and Lieutenant Placido as the [[TokenGoodTeammate token good guys]] in the otherwise corrupt and/or bumbling army, plus [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Kapital]] and the various agents of the South India Trading Company, and the local Scorpion gang which appears in two episodes.
** ''WesternAnimation/ZorroTheChronicles'', despite being only 26 episodes long, has a far wider line-up of recurring antagonists, consisting largely of [[CanonForeigner characters created specifically for the show]]. The list includes [[GeneralRipper Captain Monasterio]] and [[PunchClockVillain Sergeant Garcia]] (once again), [[AmbitionIsEvil Corporal Gonzales]], [[SleazyPolitician Governor Esteban Parasol]], [[BitchInSheepsClothing Dona Isabella Verdugo]], [[BadassNative Chief Yuma]], [[MasterSwordsman Antonio Ramirez]], and [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Don Rodrigo Malapensa]] and his hired henchmen [[ThoseTwoBadGuys La Rana and Dentist]].
