Line #22 PlayingWith/RoguesGalleryTransplant


1	'''Basic Trope''': A villain that appeared in Hero A’s RoguesGallery also appears in Hero B’s Rogues Gallery.
2	* '''Straight''': [[MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours Madam Mayhem]] is a reoccurring adversary of [[FlyingBrick Superio]], but she also fights [[PunchClockHero Sally]] [[HealingFactor “Sallymander”]] [[CombatSadomasochist Mandarin]] as either a main or side villain.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Madam Mayhem is the sole ArchEnemy of Superio and her entire origin is tied to him. But when she’s not fighting Superio, she’s clashing with the Justice Consortium, fighting [[SuperIntelligence Amazing]] [[BadassNormal Girl]], playing chess with Sally Mandarin, making [[DeadpanSnarker Raccoon Kid]]’s life worse, getting her ass handed to her by the [[CrazyPrepared Dark-Naught]], menacing the Bastions of Nigeria, being a total jerk to the Kid Justice Force, getting in [[BareFistedMonk Master]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Death]]’s way, and occasionally trying to hook up with [[PsychoElectro Electro]][[EmpoweredBadassNormal -]][[TheBrute Man]] (though constantly getting rebuffed time and time again) while trying to aid him against [[SpiderManSendUp Tarantu-Dude]]. She fights so many heroes she may as well have her own heroic RoguesGallery
5	** Madame Mayhem is the only memorable thing about the otherwise-mediocre Superio comic. Not wanting to see such an awesome villain go to waste, Sallymander's writer snatches her up to use in their own stories. Superio is eventually {{retcon}}ned out of the 'verse, and Madame Mayhem becomes a [[BreakoutVillain core part of the Sallymander mythos]].
6	* '''Downplayed''': Madam Mayhem makes a short guest appearance in one of Sally’s adventures, and it makes even more sense in context.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** Madam Mayhem, Sally, and Superio all live in the same city so it makes sense that she’ll clash with both from time to time.
9	** While she has since moved to another town, Sally was Superio's sidekick back in TheFifties and Mayhem wants to [[RevengeByProxy hurt everyone important to him]].
10	* '''Inverted''':
11	** Superio is a reoccurring threat to Madam Mayhem’s plans, but he also fights villainous ActionDuo [[MagnetismManipulation Lady Metallica & Markus Metal]] when he can.
12	** [[SympatheticInspectorAntagonist Inspector O'Neil]] is a HeroAntagonist initially intended to play off against Madame Maroon, a ClassyCatBurglar VillainProtagonist. However, he is also on the case of NinetiesAntiHero Sallymander, because she is still a law-breaking vigilante.
13	* '''Subverted''': Madam Mayhem is about to fight Sally, but Superio comes in at the nick of time and tells her to rest easy.
14	* '''Double Subverted''': ... but mid-fight, Mayhem injure Superio and Sally needs to stall her while he heals.
15	* '''Parodied''': Madam Mayhem makes a business of being a substitute villain. She fills in for a hero and causes chaos for whoever pays her when they feel like there isn’t enough crime to stop.
16	* '''Zig Zagged''': The writers seemingly can’t decide if Madam Mayhem is suppose to be Superio or Sally’s nemesis.
17	* '''Averted''': Madam Mayhem fights strictly Superio, and never gets the chance to battle other heroes.
18	* '''Enforced''':
19	** The writers couldn’t come up with a new character for Sally to fight, so decided to reuse a character from the Superio series.
20	** Madame Mayhem is the villain chosen for a Sallymander/Superio crossover, and her [[SnarkToSnarkCombat repartee]] with Sally steals the show. Fans ''demand'' the two face off again, and the writers give them what they want in Sally's own series.
21	* '''Lampshaded''': “Where’s Superio? rather not waste my time dealing with a neophyte like you.”
22	* '''Invoked''': The writers wanted to create a sense of a larger SharedUniverse, so decided to have Superio’s villains appear in Sally’s adventures.
23	* '''Exploited''': Madam Mayhem takes advantage of her status as a “New villain” to Sally to outwit and overpower her.
24	** Alternatively, Sally takes advantage of Mayhem not knowing much about her to outwit her.
25	* '''Defied''': Superio makes it his mission to act like a bodyguard to his friends and prevent his RoguesGallery from menacing any other heroes.
26	* '''Discussed''': ???
27	* '''Conversed''': ???
28	* '''Implied''': Madame Mayhem never makes an on-page appearance in a ''Sallymander'' comic, but, during a crossover, Sally and Superio discuss her in a way that suggests Sally's faced her toe-to-toe.
29	* '''Deconstructed''':
30	** Sally is a genetically modified mercenary with a healing factor capable of regenerating her from a single atom in a matter of seconds. She is skilled in using many lethal weapons, she has an extremely imbalanced personality and gets her kicks off killing people. Therefore Sally fights JustForFun/SuperWeight villains who are on her same level of power. Madam Mayhem is just a wise woman skilled in hand-to-hand combat, and stands absolutely no chance against Sally.
31	** Madame Mayhem typically fights Superio, a NighInvulnerable FlyingBrick, in battles that involve them throwing one another through brick, concrete, and steel without serious injury. Sallymander is a SuperheroPackingHeat with a moderate HealingFactor, but no other superpowers, and there's no PowerCreepPowerSeep to even the fight. Sally is just completely outclassed by Mayhem, and can only do her best to hold her off until a hero in her JustForFun/SuperWeight saves the day. Sally soon comes to dread Mayhem, and perhaps even envy Superio.
32	* '''Reconstructed''':
33	** Mayhem knew this, and decided to deal with Sally intelligently. She creates an inhalable anti-serum meant to counteract her healing powers and retard her weapon proficiency. Mayhem also equips PoweredArmor just in case things to south, [[WorfHadTheFlu making a fair fight]].
34	** Madame Mayhem typically fights Superio, a NighInvulnerable FlyingBrick, in battles that involve them throwing one another through brick, concrete, and steel without serious injury. Sallymander is a SuperheroPackingHeat with a moderate HealingFactor, but no other superpowers, and there's no PowerCreepPowerSeep to even the fight. Yet Sally proves her BadassNormal credentials by outwitting her vastly superior foe, exploiting every weakness Mayhem has to come out on top. Mayhem is still TheDreaded in Sally's corner of the SharedUniverse, but that just makes her a more compelling recurring foe.
35	* '''Played For Horror''': Yng'Kal, the Eater of the Dead, is a recurring LovecraftLite foe of Superio the Sorcerer. When Yng'Kal turns its attention to Sally, a NonPoweredCostumedHero, [[OutsideContextProblem she has no answer]]. [[CosmicHorrorStory Her simply surviving is a victory]].
36	* '''Played For Laughs''': Madame Mayhem's {{camp}}y theatrics and AffablyEvil nature are typical in ''Superio''[='s=] Silver-Age-homage series, and she's not even the silliest foe in his rogue's gallery. Even so, the darker, grittier Sally just can't take her seriously; she becomes the comical villain of choice for {{Breather Episode}}s when Sally just needs to face a "comic book baddie in a silly mask" and [[LampshadeHanging hang some lampshades]].
