| 12 | Also known as [[http://www.oafe.net/blog/2007/01/the-supervillain-shuffle/ The Supervillain Shuffle]]. The occurrence wherein a villain, originally introduced as an enemy for a specific hero, subtly through time or ContinuityCreep, deliberately or unintentionally, becomes more identified with another hero. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | While any SharedUniverse may depict a hero fighting another's antagonist, usually they remain identified with the original. For instance, Characters/{{Superman|TheCharacter}} may occasionally fight [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]], and Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}} may take on [[Characters/SupermanLexLuthor Lex Luthor]] from time to time, but no one would ever claim that either bad guy is anything but the other hero's ArchEnemy. This trope refers specifically to characters that have reached the narrative point where the villain is now more identified in the popular consciousness as being an adversary to a character he did not originally fight. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | There are various reasons why this occurs. Reasons include: |
| 17 | # Sometimes, a hero's series gets cancelled, but one of their villains is [[BreakoutVillain such a cool character]] that they get transferred to a different hero, or turned into a general utility villain for the whole universe. |
| 18 | # Or, years after the cancellation of a title has left them an obscure character, they get discovered by a new writer for a popular work or adaptation. |
| 19 | # Alternatively, a new hero gets created, or an existing hero gets a significant revamp, and something about their personality, powers or theme makes a particular existing villain an obvious foil to them. It's easier to use a pre-existing villain to antagonize them than make one from scratch, and if the bigger-name isn't doing anything with them, might as well put the villain to use somewhere. |
| 20 | # This can also be the result of a writer creating or forming a strong attachment to a villain while writing for one character, then moving on to another project and taking all of their toys with them. |

| 33 | [[folder:Anime and Manga]] |
| 34 | * ''Anime/BatmanNinja'' has Gorilla Grodd as being one of Batman's foes, despite having originated as a villain to Franchise/TheFlash. Similarly, Characters/{{Deathstroke}} also appears and while he tangles with Batman fairly often, he was originally the ArchEnemy of the ComicBook/TeenTitans (he normally still has plenty of connections to Batman, but only because he is an EvilCounterpart to Batman himself, and Batman's first protege Characters/{{Nightwing|DickGrayson}}, at times the Teen Titans' leader and whom also appears in the film, is the more specific ArchEnemy he singles out among the team). |
| 35 | * The third volume of ''Manga/MaboroshiPanty'', a manga illustrated by Creator/GoNagai of ''Manga/KekkoKamen'' fame, had Kekko Kamen's nemesis Satan's Toenail serve as the main villain. |
| 36 | * A rival version occurred in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''. While usually rivals stick to one main character and maybe, at most, fight another member of the main cast once (May having battled and defeated Zoe, Dawn's main rival, at the Wallace Cup, for example), they are never really 'given' to another on a long term prospect, with Jessie's contest clashes with May, Dawn, and later showcase clashes with Serena being under general twerp on Team Rocket fighting. The one exception is during ''Anime/PokemonJourneysTheSeries'' where Gary, Ash's first rival who he had long since made peace with and diverged in goal from, coming to be Goh's rival as a competitor in Project Mew, taking on a more mature take on his dynamic with Ash in the original series with Goh. However, while both times had Gary stay near perpetually ahead of both, where Ash and Gary's rival was fueled by childhood rivalries and mutual ego and pride clashes, Gary's was more fueled by Goh's social issues that Gary just easily rubbed the wrong way in a mixture of purposely (to get Goh to grow past them) or unintentionally. |

| 39 | [[folder:Comic Strips]] |
| 40 | * The ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comic has an unusual example in the Threshold. They were originally created as villains for the Seventh Doctor and Ace, but the creation of the Eighth Doctor on TV happened at the same time. As a result the Threshold were responsible for Ace getting killed in the Seventh Doctor's final strip story, and went on to become the recurring villains in Eight's first long-term story arc. Their self-serving hyper-capitalistic villainy makes it pretty obvious that they were originally created as Seven-Ace villains, given the particularly overt leftist orientation of the original TV stories featuring those characters. |
| 41 | [[/folder]] |
| 42 | |
| 43 | [[folder:Fanfic]] |
| 44 | * In the ''Series/DoctorWho''/''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' crossover ''Fanfic/DangerousTenant'', while Albert Wesker still considers Chris Redfield his main opponent, he observes to Donna Noble that the Tenth Doctor is rapidly becoming someone else Wesker truly hates. |
| 45 | * In the ''Fanfic/JusticeLeagueTheSpider'' series, while they remain focused on their traditional enemies, ''Web of Cadmus'' sees [[spoiler:the Joker and Metallo]] go after Spider-Man to avenge his past defeat of them. |
| 46 | * In the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4942676/1/Mercy Mercy]]'', when Diana is trapped in a fantasy by the Black Mercy, her dream features her as the guardian of Gotham while her civilian identity is married to District Attorney Bruce Wayne, and she references encounters with foes such as Poison Ivy and the Joker. |
| 47 | * ''Fanfic/KingdomHeartsTheAntipode:'' In contrast to the other Disney Villains, [[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Hans]]]] is recruited into Organization XIII; a StandardEvilOrganizationSquad consisting of otherwise OriginalGeneration characters. |
| 48 | * ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' has a couple of particular cases, as they're less of a "Rogues" and more of a "[[TheRival Rivals]]" Gallery Transplant. While both Gary and Paul are introduced early as rivals to Ash, as the story progresses their rivalry with each other gets more focus. Also, to a lesser extent, Ash ends up facing against Solidad, who in canon was a rival of May as a coordinator as opposed to a trainer (though it's hinted this is only a temporary thing, since Solidad plans on going to Contests full time once she's done participating in the Indigo League). |
| 49 | * ''Fanfic/TheCuttingEdge'' features a minor example of this when Oliver's first target as the Hood after he returns to Starling City is Thomas "Tommy" Elliot, better known as the Batman villain Hush. While Elliot isn't a supervillain yet in the sense that he isn't going out in a costume to fight Batman, he's still a corporate criminal whom Oliver is justified in attacking. |
| 50 | * In ''Fanfic/SpiderX'', when ComicBook/SpiderMan joins the ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' cast, several characters who were uniquely foes of Spider-Man in the comics, such as Electro, Venom and the Green Goblin, end up facing the X-Men (although a few foes such as Rhino, Shocker and Mysterio are still focused on the wall-crawler). |
| 51 | * ''[[Fanfic/UltimateSleepwalker Ultimate Sleepwalker: The New Dreams]]'' greatly expands Sleepwalker's RoguesGallery beyond what he faced in the official comics. Its companion series ''[[Fanfic/UltimateSpiderWoman Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]'' has an entire gallery made of transplants since protagonist [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]] doesn't actually have one in the comics. |
| 52 | * Due to the nature of ''Fanfic/SuperRWBYSisters'' being a crossover fanfic, it leads to Team RWBY and friends joining the Mario Bros. on their adventures, and thus any villains that the Bros. face automatically become villains for Team RWBY to fight. Examples of this include Bowser, Hades, Cackletta, the Shroobs just to name a few. |
| 53 | ** In ''RWBY: DK 64'', King K Rool becomes this for Yang as well as the Kongs. |
| 54 | ** On a somewhat different note, [[spoiler: [[WebAnimation/RedVsBlue The Meta]] becomes this for Pyrrha due to her resemblance to [[WebAnimation/RedVsBlue Agent Carolina]].]] |
| 55 | * ''Fanfic/RemnantsBizarreAdventure'': |
| 56 | ** Bruno Buccarati was Giorno's [[StarterVillain first Stand-using opponent]] before Giorno joined his team. Here he demonstrates the power of Stands to Team [=RWBY=] by fighting alongside Roman and Neo (since his services were provided by Polpo to Cinder), then faces off against Josuke. |
| 57 | ** Tamami Kobayashi was Koichi's StarterVillain in the manga, where here he is defeated by Blake and Weiss. |
| 58 | ** Toshikazu Hazamada fought against Josuke and Koichi in the manga and plotted to kill Jotaro. Here he tries to use his Stand Surface to mimic Jaune and force himself on Pyrrha (leading to a fight by the real Jaune and Koichi to try and stop him), [[SpotTheImposter only for Surface be found out and trounced by Pyrrha]]. |
| 59 | ** The SerialKiller Anjuro "Angelo" Katagiri was Josuke's StarterVillain in the manga. Here he's defeated by Koichi and Neo. |
| 60 | ** Bug-Eater and Not-Bug Eater were killed by Josuke in the manga. Here they were defeated by Blake and Zwei. |
| 61 | * ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14230488/1/Fairytale-of-Doom Fairytale of Doom]]'' has this happen for the fairy tale villains from Disney classics as a result of a FairyTaleFreeForAll the Manga/FairyTail wizards (plus [[HonoraryTrueCompanion Jellal]] and [[BigBad Zeref]]) are trapped in. |
| 62 | ** Lady Tremaine in ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'' was primarily the WickedStepmother to the titular character. Here, [[AdaptationalJobChange she's now the Royal Advisor to her king]] (who Zeref is now in the role in) and is [[TreacherousAdvisor plotting to undermine the rule of Zeref and his brother Prince Natsu]]. |
| 63 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'', Shan Yu and his Huns were antagonists to ImperialChina, with Shan a personal antagonist towards Mulan and Li Shang. In ''Fairytale of Doom'', the Huns are the enemy of multiple kingdoms. In addition, several incidents causes Shan Yu to fight against Erza (who thought she was Mulan but finds out she was meant to play [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast Belle]]) and Laxus (who is meant to be [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Prince Phillip]]). |

| 65 | |
| 66 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 67 | * Both Franchise/{{Alien}} and Franchise/{{Predator}} started as antagonists in their own movies. Today, the two races are more known for [[Franchise/AlienVsPredator fighting each other]]. |
| 68 | * The {{Kaiju}} Baragon was originally the enemy of a giant version of FrankensteinsMonster in ''Film/FrankensteinConquersTheWorld''. However, Baragon eventually became part of Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'s RoguesGallery thanks to video games, action figures, and the films ''Film/DestroyAllMonsters'' and ''Film/GodzillaMothraKingGhidorahGiantMonstersAllOutAttack''. |
| 69 | ** King Ghidorah, Godzilla's archenemy, was transplanted to the ''Film/RebirthOfMothra'' trilogy to fight Mothra and her son, Mothra Leo. Two different incarnations, Desghidorah and the King of Terror, serve as the main villains of the first and third films respectively. |
| 70 | * Thulsa Doom originated in a ''Literature/{{Kull}}'' story, and most of the heroic characters in ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982'' would probably have been much happier people if he'd stayed there. |
| 71 | * Akivasha in ''Film/KullTheConqueror'' was originally a minor Conan antagonist that gets promoted to BigBad here, ironically enough bringing this trope full circle. |
| 72 | * ''Film/StarTrekIntoDarkness'': [[spoiler: Khan]], in a change up from the original chain of events, ends up with [[spoiler: Spock]] as his primary adversary in this film. He lacks the grudge that defined him [[spoiler: from being marooned by Kirk in the prime-timeline, and ends up spending more time in an EnemyMine with Kirk than he does fighting him, since without that glaring flaw of ItsPersonal with Kirk, he can make wiser decisions around him]]. [[spoiler: Kirk]] still seems to gain his respect as a WorthyOpponent with a similar care for his crew, but this movie might be called [[spoiler: Wrath of Spock once Kirk's {{Almost Dead|Guy}}]]. |
| 73 | * The BigBad of ''Film/TheAbsentMindedProfessor'' and ''Film/SonOfFlubber'', Alonzo Hawk (Creator/KeenanWynn), later antagonized Herbie the Love Bug in ''[[Film/TheLoveBug Herbie Rides Again]]''. |
| 74 | [[/folder]] |
| 75 | |
| 76 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 77 | * Randall Flagg was introduced as the enemy of Mother Abigail in Creator/StephenKing's ''Literature/TheStand'', amassing an army on Earth to attack and destroy her more peaceful followers. However, Flagg is ''far'' more well-known as the nemesis of Roland Deschain, the dimension-hopping hero of King's epic fantasy saga, ''Literature/TheDarkTower'', and acts as the main villain of that series, even though there's an even greater evil [[TheManBehindTheMan behind him]]. |
| 78 | * When ''Franchise/FactionParadox'' became an independent spin-off not under the aegis of the BBC, it took a few individually-licensed elements of the wider Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse, leading to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E3PyramidsOfMars Sutekh]] or [[Literature/EighthDoctorAdventures Sabbath Dei]] now crossing paths with new characters like Justine and Eliza instead of the Doctor & friends. |
| 79 | * ''Faction Paradox'' was later on the giving end of things with [[MadArtist Godfather Auteur]], a ''[=FP=]''-original character, making a slew of crossover appearances in prose franchises that aren't even properly part of the ''Doctor Who'' EU, including ''Literature/TheCrewOfTheCopperColoredCupids'' and ''10,000 Dawns'', now serving as antagonist to the Cupids and Graelyn Scythes, respectively. |
| 80 | * ''Literature/MarvelsSpiderManHostileTakeover'' features Echo as an antagonist, with a storyline that loosely adapts her first appearance. However, this version of the character attacks [[Characters/MarvelComicsPeterParker Spider-Man]] after being tricked into believing he killed her father, unlike in the comics, where it was [[Characters/MarvelComicsMattMurdock Daredevil]] who was framed for the deed. |
| 81 | [[/folder]] |
| 82 | |
| 83 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 84 | * Darla was introduced in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' as a DarkActionGirl; she's killed off in the seventh episode, which also reveals that she's Angel's sire and ex-lover. When he got [[Series/{{Angel}} a spin-off series]], Darla was brought BackFromTheDead for a longer-lasting and more emotionally potent role. |
| 85 | * On ''Series/DoctorWho'', the Slitheen family started out as briefly recurring antagonists of the Ninth Doctor, then disappeared from the main series and started showing up frequently on ''Series/TheSarahJaneAdventures''. |
| 86 | * ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'' and its spin off ''Series/XenaWarriorPrincess'': |
| 87 | ** Ares, the [[WarGod God of War]], was occasionally fought by Hercules in its first season, but he became a regular antagonist to Xena. Hercules still fought Ares from time to time, specially after Season 3 where he was cast by Kevin Smith, but he is much more important to Xena, not just as an enemy, but also as a supporting character. |
| 88 | ** In regards to the original myths, the Minotaur was slain by the hero Theseus, while he is fought by Hercules in the TV-movie ''The Maze of the Minotaur'', where its revealed he is also his [[CainAndAbel half-brother]] and Theseus is AdaptedOut completely. |
| 89 | ** [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Bacchus]] first appeared on ''Xena'' and was killed off by the end of his episode, but he would appear in subsequent appearances in ''Series/YoungHercules'', a prequel to ''Legendary Journeys'' where he fought against Hercules in his early career more than once. |
| 90 | * ''Series/KamenRiderExAid'': The ''Kamen Rider Brave'' special had Takeshi Asakura / Kamen Rider Ouja, one of the villains from ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'', as the main antagonist. In fact, the special came to be because Ouja was the favorite Rider of Brave's actor. |
| 91 | * ''Series/OnceUponATime'' puts either Rumplestiltskin or the queen from Snow White in ''everything''. Rumple has been Cinderella's fairy godmother, Beauty's Beast, and Captain Hook's crocodile, while Regina has been the Little Mermaid's Sea Witch and the wicked stepmother who abandoned Hansel and Gretel (though not actually their stepmother, she was still responsible for the events.) Then there's the spin-off, ''Series/OnceUponATimeInWonderland'', in which Alice's main antagonist is [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Jafar.]] |
| 92 | * A meta example is done throughout ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', where a villain from one ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' show would end up fighting Power Rangers adapted from a completely different Super Sentai season. While the first example was a villain in ''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger'' being in ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy'' (adapted from ''Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman''), ''Series/ResshaSentaiToQger'' becomes a more prominent example as several villains from there are translated into villains for three different Power Rangers in a row. [[note]][[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel Cosmo Royale]] was adapted from Baron Nero, [[Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers Scrozzle]] was loosely based off [[Film/ShurikenSentaiNinningerVsTokkyugerNinjasInWonderland Dark Doctor Mavro]], and [[Series/PowerRangersDinoFury Void Queen]] was adapted from Madame Noir.[[/note]] |
| 93 | * The Cardassians began as villains of the week on ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' but ended up with much greater plot significance on ''[[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Deep Space Nine]].'' |
| 94 | ** To a somewhat lesser extent, the same thing could also be said of the Romulans being more associated with ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration The Next Generation]]'' than with ''TOS''. |
| 95 | ** The Borg are a {{subver|tedTrope}}sion of sorts. After twenty (of which four were two-parters) appearances on ''Voyager'', plus a Borg character joining Voyager's main cast for the last four seasons, one might have expected them to be more associated with that series than with ''TNG'', which only featured them in four episodes (of which two were two-parters) plus ''First Contact''. Despite this, in popular consciousness, the Borg are still considered Picard's nemesis, and the real-world 21st century saw them play a major role in both the second and third seasons of ''Series/StarTrekPicard''. |
| 96 | |
| 97 | * In the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'', it's not uncommon for popular MonstersOfTheWeek to appear in later series to be pitted against new Ultra heroes. The original Series/{{Ultraman}}'s most famous foes Zetton, Gomora, Red King, Antlar, Baltan, and Mephilas have all battled at least five (and as many as ten; sometimes more) subsequent Ultramen since their debuts in the original 1966-1967 series. |
| 98 | * ''Series/ZoneFighter'' had two of Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'s RoguesGallery, Gigan and King Ghidorah, appear as [[MonsterOfTheWeek monsters of the week]] battling Zone, although Gigan's appearance also saw Godzilla help out a bit. |
| 99 | [[/folder]] |
| 100 | |
| 101 | [[folder:Professional Wrestling]] |
| 102 | * The main purpose of Black Tiger is to oppose Tiger Mask. From the very beginning of the {{defictionalization}} of the feud though, Black Tiger also opposed, and ultimately defeated El Gran Hamada before [[Wrestling/SatoruSayama "first" Tiger Mask]] avenged him. Even though Tiger Mask would ultimately defeat Black Tiger, Tiger Mask was the one to "lose" his mask when it was bought from Wrestling/{{New Japan|ProWrestling}} by Wrestling/{{All Japan|ProWrestling}}. AJPW were uninterested in pitting [[Wrestling/MitsuharuMisawa Tiger Mask II]] against his traditional nemesis but Black Tiger simply changed targets again, going after The Cobra. |
| 103 | * Besides the inevitable clash with his [[LegacyCharacter contemporary]] Tiger Mask, [[Wrestling/EddieGuerrero Black Tiger II]] was also known for harassing [[Wrestling/JushinThunderLiger Jushin Liger ]]and [[Wrestling/ChrisBenoit Pegasus Kid]]. |
| 104 | * Black Tiger III's demise came not at the hands of a Tiger Mask, but at [[Wrestling/LaParka L.A. Par-K]]'s at a Wrestling/{{CMLL}} event. |
| 105 | * While Black Tiger IV was eventually unmasked by Tiger Mask IV, he did spend time going after Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Jason Rumble, if only to better position himself in later offenses on Tiger Mask. |
| 106 | * Two years after Tiger Mask IV unmasked Black Tiger V, Black Tiger V reappeared in Wrestling/{{Toryumon}} Mexico to oppose Wrestling/UltimoDragon.[[/folder]] |
| 107 | |
| 108 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 109 | * ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' 3rd edition book ''Elder Evils'' picks up Kyuss, the Worm That Walks, a well-known villain from ''TabletopGame/{{Greyhawk}}'', Zargon, a fan-favorite monster from ''TabletopGame/{{Mystara}}'' and Pandorym, villain from ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'' novel ''Darkvision'', and reinvents them so they can now fit to any D&D setting. |
| 110 | ** The Fifth Edition Campaigns ''TabletopGame/TombOfAnnihilation'' and ''Princes of the Apocalypse'' transplant classic Greyhawk antagonists [[TabletopGame/TombOfHorrors demilich Acererak]] and [[TabletopGame/TheTempleOfElementalEvil the Cult of Elemental Evil]] into Forgotten Realms. |
| 111 | ** ''TabletopGame/VecnaTrilogy'' moves titular character from ''Greyhawk'' to ''TabletopGame/{{Ravenloft}}'' and then to ''TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}''. Since then Vecna has also branched out to Forgotten Realms and [[WebVideo/CriticalRole Exadia]]. |
| 112 | ** Another ''Greyhawk'' villain, the GodOfEvil Tharizdun, is generally seen as a multiversal villain stretching far beyond the bounds of Planescape. |
| 113 | * Downplayed in ''TabletopGame/SentinelsOfTheMultiverse''. Each heroes Nemesis will have more ItsPersonal backstories with variants of other heroes. Downplayed in that the Nemesis hasn't changed. |
| 114 | ** Probably due to the two being Foils, the Wraith has a decent amount of interaction with the Chairman. In particular, Freedom Six Wraith ends up killing The Chairman and taking over his operation. |
| 115 | ** This finally does wind up happening for a few villains in the Villains of the Multiverse expansion. Ambuscade switches from hunting Haka to The Naturalist, Plague Rat falls into the captivity of [=RevoCorp=] and is used to hunt their creation Setback, and Miss Information returns to take vengeance on the Freedom Five. Also, Citizens Hammer and Anvil get their own deck and nemesis in Visionary, whereas they were previously minions in Citizen Dawn's deck (nemesis: Expatriette). |
| 116 | [[/folder]] |
| 117 | |
| 118 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 119 | * ''VideoGame/DeadByDaylight'' does this with some of the {{Guest Fighter}}s. |
| 120 | ** In his [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 first appearance]] in the ''Franchise/SilentHill'' franchise, Pyramid Head served as James Sunderland's tormentor. While James was added in a later update, Pyramid Head initially went after [[VideoGame/SilentHill3 Heather Mason]]'s head.[[note]]While not part of the game's canon, Heather has encountered Pyramid Head in ''Film/SilentHillRevelation3D'', but Pyramid was more of Heather's protector than tormentor.[[/note]] |
| 121 | ** Of the 8 playable Survivors ({{Palette Swap}}s included) that hail from ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Leon S.]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 Kennedy]] and [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Carlos Oliveira]] are the only people to have never come into contact with Albert Wesker.[[note]]The closest Leon got to meeting Wesker was in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' when the latter observed the former from afar during Operation Javier.[[/note]] Likewise, the only ''Resident Evil'' survivors who have encountered [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis Nemesis]] are Jill Valentine and Carlos. |
| 122 | * Merlock, the BigBad of the ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|1987}}'' movie ''WesternAnimation/DuckTalesTheMovieTreasureOfTheLostLamp'', was featured in two video games, both of which starred protagonists other than Scrooge [=McDuck=] and his three grandnephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie. His first video game appearance was as a boss in ''VideoGame/LegendOfIllusion'', which starred Mickey Mouse. His second appearance in a video game was as the main antagonist and final boss in ''VideoGame/DonaldDuckGoinQuackers'', where he menaced Donald Duck by kidnapping Daisy. |
| 123 | * Chaos from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' is actually the BigBad of the entire ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' [[TheMultiverse Multiverse]] as of ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''. |
| 124 | ** Also happened before that as well, since [[spoiler:he is actually Garland's OneWingedAngel incarnation, and Garland is TheManBehindTheMan in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', though it's ambiguous as to whether they're the same character]]. |
| 125 | ** Gilgamesh was TheDragon in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', but is now [[WalkingTheEarth Walking The Multi Verse]] as an OptionalBoss. |
| 126 | * In the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series, most of the Disney villains stick to their own worlds and antagonizing their own heroes, even in [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI the first game]], the only one to feature a team of villains sharing a single headquarters. Maleficent, however, is promoted to a general antagonist, the only villain from a Disney movie to appear in multiple worlds and have an interest in the series' overarching plot. For example, Hollow Bastion the world where she is fought as a boss, is a world original to the game and your GuestStarPartyMember is the Beast from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast''. It is not until ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' did we see her in the actual ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' world, clashing with Prince Phillip and the three good fairies, and even then she made it clear that she had bigger ambitions. |
| 127 | ** Hades counts as well, as he's gone up against multiple heroes from the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series, if only because such heroes keep finding themselves in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' world for some reason. |
| 128 | ** Seifer of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', known for being Squall's RivalTurnedEvil plays TheRival to Roxas in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' and has nothing to do with Squall. |
| 129 | * Arianrhod the Steel Maiden fought the Special Support Section once in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsToAzure'', but once she appeared in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel Cold Steel III]]'' she became far more associated with the Erebonia arc, through her past as Lianne Sandlot and connection to Osborne as [[spoiler: the reincarnation of her old love]]. To the point where, on this website, her character entry ended up being moved from the Crossbell games' characters page to the Erebonia one. |
| 130 | * This is one of the plot points in ''VideoGame/LegoDimensions''- thanks to [[BigBad Lord Vortech's]] meddling around with rifts in his own attempt to conquer the multiverse, enemies from various franchises have been taken to different settings. [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Sauron]] has landed his tower in the middle of [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Metropolis]], [[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie Lord Business]] is overseeing the invasion of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Springfield]], and Vortech himself shows up to challenge the heroes in [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture 1885 Hill Valley]], and many more. |
| 131 | * ''VideoGame/MagicalTetrisChallenge'': The Big Bad Wolf was originally the enemy of WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs, but here, he's going up against Franchise/MickeyMouse and his friends as a henchman to Mickey's archenemy, WesternAnimation/{{Pete}}. The pigs don't make an appearance. |
| 132 | * ''VideoGame/{{Pico}}'': Piconjo is often thought of as one of Pico's adversaries, due to him being a comparatively unhinged OddballDoppelganger. In Piconjo's original series, however, Pico is never encountered, with Piconjo instead fighting his nemesis [=LegendaryFrog=]. |
| 133 | * The ''[[VideoGame/ThePunisherCapcom Punisher]]'' game from Creator/{{Capcom}} features the Reavers as enemies. While the Reavers did once clash with the Punisher in the comics, they're otherwise almost exclusively treated as X-Men villains. |
| 134 | * ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'': |
| 135 | ** Pazuzu was somewhat inexplicably an ally of [[GodIsEvil YHVH]] in his first major story role in ''VideoGame/MegamiTenseiII''. Later games typically have him as a member of Lucifer's Chaos faction. |
| 136 | ** [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Nyarlathotep]] appeared as a summonable demon and occasional boss in earlier SMT games, but due to his stint as the BigBad of ''VideoGame/Persona2'' and occasional call-backs in later entries, he's commonly thought of as a ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' villain now. |
| 137 | * ''VideoGame/SoulSeries'': |
| 138 | ** [[BigBad Nightmare]] was originally the main antagonist to Kilik, Xianghua and Maxi. In fact, Xianghua used Soul Calibur to defeat him in the end. Afterwards, Nightmare has had little to do with those three and instead became an enemy to Siegfried, Nightmare's former host, after their [[EnemyWithout split]] for the rest of the series. |
| 139 | ** [[GhostPirate Cervantes]] was introduced as the first BigBad and was defeated by Sophitia and Taki teaming up together. Afterwards, he instead became a villain to his [[ChildByRape illegitimate daughter]] Ivy following her introduction. |
| 140 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': |
| 141 | ** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' was a DolledUpInstallment of ''VideoGame/DokiDokiPanic'', hence all the enemies in the game, including Shy Guys, Bob-ombs, Pokeys, Birdo, etc. were not originally Mario's nor did they start off aligned with Bowser (they are part of Wart's 8-Bit army in their original appearance). In turn, Shy Guys and Snifits later became part of the standard bestiary of the ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' series, while Yoshi didn't even exist yet when ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' came out. Birdo, likewise, would undergo a HeelFaceTurn and primarily appear in the spinoff sport titles, sometimes even as a partner of Yoshi. |
| 142 | ** In reverse, Kamek, Baby Bowser's caretaker from the Yoshi games, has made frequent appearances in the mainline games and [=RPG=] spin-offs to the point of being (adult) Bowser's [[TheDragon right-hand man]] in several games. |
| 143 | ** King Boo was formally introduced as Luigi's archnemesis in the ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' games, but he still makes appearances in the ''Mario'' platformers and sports spin-offs every now and then (although he looks [[YouDontLookLikeYou different in those]]), so he doesn't end up being much different from the other several {{King Mook}}s that Mario himself faces in the series. |
| 144 | * While the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' series does, of necessity, involve various HumongousMecha fighting enemies from different shows, it can sometimes veer into this territory with especially strong enmities developing between characters of different series, especially in regards to OriginalGeneration characters. The best example would probably be from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration 2'', where Axel Almer of '' VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsAdvance'' fame becomes the arch nemesis of the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact2 Impact series]]' Kyosuke Nanbu. |
| 145 | * ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'': |
| 146 | ** ''VIdeoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'': In ''The Subspace Emissary'', [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]], [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf]], and VideoGame/{{Wario}} become a general BigBadEnsemble of the Creator/{{Nintendo}} universe, facing characters they never fought in their respective series. For instance, Wario becomes a nemesis for Lucas from ''VideoGame/Mother3''. |
| 147 | ** Master Hand, one of the series' [[OriginalGeneration original characters]], becomes a Kirby mini-boss and then teams up with Crazy Hand to be a boss proper in ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror''. In this case, it's because both games were made by Creator/HALLaboratory. |
| 148 | * In ''X-Men: The Official Game'' (the prequel to ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''), ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} is revealed to be the organization behind Master Mold and the Sentinels, the mutant-hunting {{Killer Robot}}s from the X-Men books. In the actual comics, HYDRA is traditionally depicted as a threat to [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]] and ComicBook/TheAvengers. |

| 151 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 152 | * The Angry German Kid originally started out as a Website/YouTube Meme, but eventually became one of the main memes at Nico Douga, with the new moniker of Keyboard Crusher. |
| 153 | * {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d on ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall:'' |
| 154 | -->'''Cloak #1:''' They think ''that's'' confusing? Why am I suddenly one of your bad guys when you weren't even in the group I was harassing in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights?'' |
| 155 | * After WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's battle with Creator/MaraWilson, she shows up in WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's review of ''Film/{{Matilda}}.'' At first Mara wants to kill her to get to the Critic, but since [[spoiler:he died in ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'']] the two try to come up with another reason to hate each other, to no avail. Later she appears in other Team [=NChick=] videos, with only a HandWave why she's not trying to kill anyone. [[RealLifeWritesThePlot She and Lindsay both lived in New York]], so the transfer just made things easier. |

| 158 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 159 | * They aren't really villains, but WesternAnimation/ChipAndDale originally started out as recurring antagonists for WesternAnimation/{{Pluto|ThePup}}. Though they still pester Pluto at times, they're far better known nowadays for always bothering WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, or else being key components of [[WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers the Rescue Rangers team]]. |
| 160 | * The [[{{Satan}} Red]] [[CampGay Guy]] from ''WesternAnimation/CowAndChicken'' would also frequently antagonize ''WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel'' as well. |
| 161 | * ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' had an episode called "All Ducks on Deck", where the villain was the Phantom Blot, who first appeared as an enemy of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse in old [[ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse Mickey Mouse comics]]. |
| 162 | * ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': |
| 163 | ** Don Karnage, one of the primary antagonists from ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'', is a recurring villain that ends up declaring Dewey his ArchEnemy. |
| 164 | ** F.O.W.L. are mentioned and eventually decide to destroy Scrooge [=McDuck=] and his associates, rather than WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck (who ''is'' one of Scrooge's allies, even though nobody treats him with respect). [[ZigZaggingTrope They technically first appeared in an episode of the original]] ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|1987}}'', but the reboot largely bases them on the more fleshed-out version shown in ''Darkwing Duck'' (including their [[TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness shadowy board of director]] and Steelbeak). |
| 165 | ** The Phantom Blot, WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse's enemy from the [[ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse Disney comics]], is also a member of F.O.W.L. and has sworn vengeance on Magica De Spell (along with anything magical in general due to his and Magica's history). |
| 166 | * ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' occasionally reveals that one villain or another that the titular character fights used to be traditionally opposed by another group of heroes, Team Go, of which Kim's ArchEnemy Shego used to be a part of. One of these villains, the Mathter, even completely shifted his vendetta from that team's leader to Kim's sidekick Ron. Naturally for the show, this was lampshaded. |
| 167 | * ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': |
| 168 | ** On a few occasions when he wasn't trying and failing to catch the Road Runner, a SuddenlyVoiced [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner Wile E. Coyote]] showed up to antagonize WesternAnimation/BugsBunny in five shorts. That said, the final one, "Hare-Breadth Hurry" plays with this, as Bugs is essentially acting out the Road Runner's usual role. |
| 169 | ** Similarly WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd, originally set up as Bugs' ArchEnemy, would frequently be placed against WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck or WesternAnimation/{{Sylvester|TheCatAndTweetyBird}} in some shorts. Since both of them were often as bungling and hubris driven as Elmer, it tended to be less lopsided who would come out on top, or even if Elmer was the actual villain of the two. |
| 170 | ** WesternAnimation/YosemiteSam is pitted against Bugs in all but two cartoons: "WesternAnimation/AlongCameDaffy" (in which he and his black-haired twin brother pursue Daffy Duck) and "WesternAnimation/HoneysMoney" (in which he marries a wealthy but shrewish widow and tries to kill her idiot son). |
| 171 | ** Marvin the Martian debuted in the short ''WesternAnimation/HaredevilHare'' as a foe for Bugs Bunny. Three of the four following shorts featuring Marvin have him opposing Bugs. The fourth follow-up, ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgersInTheTwentyFourthAndAHalfCentury'' pits Marvin against Daffy Duck and WesternAnimation/PorkyPig in sci-fi-roles - that short laid the basis for the ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'' animated series where Marvin was a recurring villain and is probably most known for by modern audiences. |
| 172 | ** WesternAnimation/SpeedyGonzales' main two recurring antagonists in his cartoons had already been previously established foes to other Looney Tunes: Sylvester (archenemy to Tweety) and Daffy Duck (archenemy to Bugs) |
| 173 | ** The Tasmanian Devil debuted in ''WesternAnimation/DevilMayHare'' where he antagonised Bugs. Three of his other shorts would likewise pit him against Bugs. There was [[WesternAnimation/DuckingTheDevil one other short]] where Taz went after Daffy instead. |
| 174 | * ''WesternAnimation/MightyMouse'' foe Oil Can Harry originates from the older and black-and-white ''Fanny Zilch'' cartoons, where he was a human rather than a cat and an enemy of J. Leffingwell Strongheart. |
| 175 | * BigBad WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} originally appeared in Creator/WaltDisney's ''WesternAnimation/AliceComedies'' before becoming an enemy of WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit and eventually WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse. In the later years of Disney shorts, Pete mainly menaced WesternAnimation/{{Donald|Duck}}, though more as a [[JerkAss bullying jerkass]] than a straight up villain. To modern audiences he's probably best known for his role as Goofy's FalseFriend on ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'', or his role in the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series as the thuggish [[TheDragon enforcer]] of [[WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty Maleficent]]. He also is featured in several episodes of the original ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|1987}}'' series, seemingly "playing" different villain roles. ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' however brought him back to being Mickey's ArchEnemy in the early 2000's in animation, a role he was portrayed [[ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse in the comics]] from the beginning. |
| 176 | * According to the ''WesternAnimation/{{The Powerpuff Girls|1998}}'' episode "Bought and Scold", Quackor the Fowl from ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' is one of their enemies. On a similar note, Huntor from "Dial M for Monkey" appeared as a bounty hunter in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' called "Episode VIII: Jack vs Mad Jack". |
| 177 | |
| 178 | * While he isn't referred to by his real name, the same voice actor, the mirror mask, blue uniform hidden under trenchcoat and yelling "COBRA!" at the end of the episode made rather obvious the man called Old Snake, one-episode antagonist from ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'', is [[WesternAnimation/GIJoeARealAmericanHero Cobra Commander]]. |
| 179 | * Dick Dastardly and Muttley started out as the enemies of the other racers in ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' but then they gained a new enemy in Yankee Doodle Pidgeon in their own show, ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines''. But then the two started antagonizing ''WesternAnimation/YogiBear'' and the others starting with ''WesternAnimation/YogisTreasureHunt'', then it continues in ''Fender Bender 500'', ''WesternAnimation/YoYogi'' and ''Ride/TheFuntasticWorldOfHannaBarbera''. However due to rights issues they were replaced with Dread Baron and Mumbly and they antagonized Yogi and the others in ''[[WesternAnimation/LaffALympics Laff-A-Lympics]]'' and ''Yogi Bear and the Magical Flight of the Spruce Goose'', but the latter made them sound and act more like Dick Dastardly and Muttley so it's obvious on who they're replacing. ''WesternAnimation/{{Scoob}}'' features Dick Dastardly as the BigBad, this time to [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang]], [[WesternAnimation/DynomuttDogWonder Blue Falcon and Dynomutt]], and [[WesternAnimation/CaptainCavemanAndTheTeenAngels Captain Caveman and Dee Dee Skyes]]. |
| 180 | * WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker's traditional archnemesis Wally Walrus was placed against WesternAnimation/ChillyWilly in two 1961 cartoons, "Clash and Carry" and "Tricky Trout", 8 years since Wally's last appearance. Wally Walrus also antagonized WesternAnimation/AndyPanda in the 1946 cartoon "Dog Tax Dodgers". Conversely, Chilly Willy's Smedley was cast against Woody in the 1962 cartoons "The Careless Caretaker" and "Room and Bored". |
