History RoguesGallery / VideoGames

* '"Franchise/FinalFantasy'':

* Sora of ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' has what is likely one of the most epic instances of a Rogues Gallery ever, consisting of almost every Disney Villain[[note]]excluding [[WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}} Clayton]], [[ExiledFromContinuity due to his world being retconned]][[/note]], each of whom dominated entire movies: [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]], [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland The Queen of Hearts]], [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Captain Hook]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Monstro]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 Ursula]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Scar]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} Hades]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} Shan-Yu]], [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Barbossa, Davy Jones, Lord Beckett]], [[Film/{{Tron}} Sark, the MCP]], [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Oogie Boogie]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} Chernabog]], [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Claude Frollo]], [[Film/TronLegacy Clu]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Mother Gothel]], [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Randall Boggs]], [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Prince Hans]], and WesternAnimation/{{Pete}}. The distinction of Arch-nemesis goes to [[MagnificentBastard Xehanort]] ([[KudzuPlot though he's been split up into multiple characters]]) [[spoiler:and then [[TheManInFrontOfTheMan Xigbar/Luxu]]]]. If we count all the villains that the protagonists opposed, then [[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} Lady Tremaine, Drizella, Anastasia]] and [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs the Evil Queen]] are included to the above list. In fact, the only Disney villains not considered part of the gallery are [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Gantu]], as he's just [[PunchClockVillain doing his job]], and [[Film/TronLegacy Rinzler]], [[spoiler:since he's an old ally of Sora who's been reprogrammed by Clu]].

* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'': Right throughout the series, the fighters of Earth (along with their allies from other realms) have to deal with a number of enemies who want to use the titular tournament for their own ends, usually to overthrow Earth as a means of furthering their path of conquest and/or destruction. The forces of Outworld, the ones most frequently guilty of this, consist of [[EvilOverlord Shao Kahn]] and his hordes of minions, particularly [[YourSoulIsMine Shang Tsung]], [[SuperScream Sindel]], Motaro, [[BladeBelowTheShoulder Baraka]], [[MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily Mileena]], [[ImAHumanitarian Reptile]], [[IAmLegion Ermac]], and members of [[MultiArmedAndDangerous the Shokan race]] (particularly [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking Goro]] and [[TheJuggernaut Kintaro]]), but the good guys also have to deal with the likes of [[EvilSorcerer Quan Chi]], [[ManipulativeBastard Shinnok]] and the [[CastingAShadow Brotherhood of Shadow]], [[PsychoKnifeNut Kano]] and the Black Dragon syndicate, the [[ProfessionalKiller Lin Kuei]] (bar [[AnIcePerson Sub-Zero]]), the Red Dragon clan (of which the Black Dragons are an offshoot), and the Edenian traitor [[TheBaroness Tanya]]. Whether or not [[AntiHero Scorpion]] is part of this list depends on which game you're referencing, as he's just as likely to oppose the heroes as he is to oppose any of the villains (though he definitely has a mad-on for Sub-Zero and later Quan Chi because of his quest for revenge).

* VideoGame/EarthwormJim has a rogue's gallery in both the game and [[WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim cartoon continuities]], with some villains unique to each continuity. Villains present in both continuities are [[BigBad Queen Slug-for-a-Butt]], [[ArchEnemy Psy-Crow]], [[CatsAreMean Evil the Cat]], Bob the Killer Goldfish, and Professor Monkey-For-A-Head. Game-exclusive villains are Chuck and Fifi, Big Bruty, Major Mucus, Doctor Duodenum, Pedro Pupa, the Flamin' Yawn, Fatty Roswell and Earthworm Kim, while the most prominent cartoon-exclusive villain was Evil Jim (although he did make an appearance in the UsefulNotes/GameBoyColor ''EWJ'' game, making him a CanonImmigrant).

* The ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamSeries'' features Batman dealing with virtually ''every'' villain in his gallery, most notably Joker, but also Harley Quinn, Bane, Scarecrow, the Riddler, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Scarface, Two-Face, Catwoman, Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Solomon Grundy, Ra's Al Ghul, Hugo Strange, Clayface, Killer Moth, Man-Bat, Mad Hatter, and even more obscure enemies like Victor Zsasz and Professor Pyg. And even those that aren't shown onscreen are given an EasterEgg.

* ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'': Despite being the faces of the franchise, Lee and Clementine never really developed a rogues gallery to speak of, however, Javier Garcia has. Due to the more action-oriented approach of his season, he's faced off against a beefy array of enemies, including Max, Lonnie, Badger, [[spoiler:Joan]] and potentially Conrad, David and Ada, depending on your choices.

* [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]] has built up a gallery of his own over the years. It includes: [[ArchEnemy Bowser]], Franchise/DonkeyKong, [[EvilCounterpart Wario]], [[OverlordJr Bowser Jr.]], [[EvilSorcerer Kamek]], [[KingMook King Boo]], [[EnsembleDarkhorse Fawful]], [[MadBomber King Bob-omb]], [[AscendedExtra Petey Piranha]], [[QuirkyMinibossSquad the Koopalings]] and [[LeanandMean Waluigi]]. Although Donkey Kong has since buried the hatchet with Mario (as noted above), and Fawful hasn't made an appearance outside of remakes since his [[KilledOffForReal death]] in ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory''.

* ''VideoGame/StreetsOfRage'': Across all four games to date, Axel, Blaze, Adam and their friends are constantly fighting against the machinations of TheSyndicate, led by [[BigBad Mr. X]] in the first three games and by his children [[BrotherSisterTeam Mr. Y and Ms. Y]] in the fourth game. Among the boss characters alone, recurring foes across more than one game include [[TheDragon Shiva]], [[TheBartender Barbon]], [[WrestlerInAllOfUs Abadede]], [[FatBastard Bongo]] (a boss in the first game and a mook in the sequels), [[JetPack Jet]], [[DualBoss Onihime and Yasha]], and [[WhipItGood Nora]] (a mook in the first game and a boss in the fourth), while there are recurring bosses within each individual game (including their respective palette-swaps) such as [[BattleBoomerang Antonio]] and [[CounterAttack Souther]] in the first game; [[WolverineClaws Zamza]] and [[LightningBruiser R. Bear]] in the second game; and [[TheBeastmaster Diva]] and the [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership Commissioner]] (assuming the latter is [[DirtyCop in the Syndicate's pocket]], given his ignoring the police's corrupt actions) in the fourth game. Additionally, the fourth game's latest DLC has a training simulator, explained in-universe as ally Zan creating a virtual-reality program [[spoiler:out of the brain-waves of the long-dead Mr. X's brain]] in order to help the heroes train their skills, where you can fight against past and current versions of mooks and bosses alike, including one-game enemies like [[MonsterClown Bruce]], [[DoppelgangerAttack Yamato]], and [[ArmCannon Robo X]] from the third game. And all of this isn't counting the fan-made remake, which includes almost all characters from within the first three games.

* Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog has slowly built up his own little gallery over the years: [[ArchEnemy Dr. Eggman]], [[RobotMe Metal]] [[EvilKnockoff Sonic]], [[FauxAffablyEvil Eggman Nega]], [[TheGunslinger Fang the Sniper]], [[ThePsychoRangers Babylon]] [[FeatheredFiend Rogues]], [[YourWorstNightmare Chaos]], [[SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute Mecha Sonic]] and the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Deadly Six]].

Although Donkey Kong has since buried the hatchet with Mario (as noted above), Fawful is [[KilledOffForReal now deceased]], and Bowser isn't above running [[GoKartingWithBowser go-karts]] or otherwise [[EnemyMine teaming up with Mario]] depending on the game.
