9* Before they lost their powers en masse, the Order of Despots was this to the Pantheon in ''ComicBook/AllFallDown''.
10* ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'': A non-superhero example would be with Scrooge [=McDuck=], most notably in the comics by Creator/CarlBarks and Creator/DonRosa. Along with the [[CardCarryingVillain Beagle]] [[TerribleTrio Boys]], who are constantly trying to rob Scrooge blind, he has to contend with [[FemmeFatale Magica De Spell]], 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. There's also Blackheart Beagle, the Beagle Boys' grandfather, founder, and occasional leader who is depicted as Scrooge's ArchEnemy and is constantly trying to rob Scrooge blind with the aid of his family The Beagle Boys. Later day additions include the country of [[{{Ruritania}} Brutopia]] and [[GentlemanThief 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.
11** The Beagle Boys, Flintheart, and Magica all became regulars on ''WesternAnimation/{{DuckTales|1987}}''.
12** Interestingly, while both come from the original canon, Rockerduck and Flintheart rarely if ever are featured in the same canon in modern comics. In America Flintheart is prevalent while in Europe Rockerduck is more famous, and as a result hardly any American fan is aware of Rockerduck and the same applies to European fans for Flintheart, which resulted in their personalities to have evolved over time to ''be the same''. Thus, you can call Rockerduck "Europe's Flintheart" and Flintheart "America's Rockerduck".
13** Scrooge's Rogues Gallery is actually lampshaded in the first episode of the ''[[WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017 DuckTales reboot]]'', when Scrooge learns that Donald's new job is with [[spoiler:Flintheart Glomgold]].
14--->'''Scrooge:''' Your new job is with ''my sworn enemy?''\
15'''Donald:''' I can't keep track of [[LongList all your sworn enemies!]]
16* During her quest to find the person(s) responsible for her apparent murder, ComicBook/GhostDarkHorseComics amasses a gallery of enemies with varying strange abilities, including the likes of [[RealityWarper Cameron Nemo]], [[PowerParasite Dr. October]], [[{{Telepathy}} Hunger]], [[EvilGenius Dr. Trouvaille]] and his Ghost-Hunters, [[MindManipulation Archibald Scythe]], [[AbsurdlySharpBlade Joe Yimbo]], [[EvilOldFolks Malcolm Greymater]], [[SuperStrength Towering Chris]], [[PeoplePuppets Miasma]], [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent Snake]], and [[SinisterMinister Von Ghastly]], and non-powered foes like [[TheDon Crux]], [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil Leo Merino]] and [[ScarilyCompetentTracker The Hunter]].
17* Across the ''Franchise/GIJoe'' franchise, the Joes consistently do battle against the Cobra Command terrorist organization in one form or another (not always paramilitary, such as in ''WesternAnimation/GIJoeRenegades'' where it's Cobra Industries, a pharmaceutical conglomerate). Members of the Cobra group include Cobra Commander, Destro, the Baroness, Storm Shadow, Zartan, Dr. Mindbender, Black-Out, and Serpentor (who temporarily took Cobra Commander's place as leader of Cobra), while mercenaries Major Bludd and Firefly occasionally grant their services to the organization.
18* Comicbook/JudgeDredd has a rather small gallery, since (much like Punisher) most of his enemies end up dead, and many of those that he sends to prison don't pop up again. Recurring villains include [[OmnicidalManiac Judge Death]] (who's an immortal undead), [[SerialKiller PJ Maybe]] (who's both incredibly lucky and a master of escape), Judge Child (Who was Dredd's first recurring enemy), and the recently retired [[TheBrute Mean Machine Angel]]. One could perhaps also add Orlok, though he tends to tangle more with Anderson. Other foes of lesser renown include Stan Lee the Deathfist, Satanus the Time Traveling Dinosaur, Judge Caligula, and arguably Rico Dredd.
19* WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse faced many adversaries in the ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse, but his most notable enemies, aside from [[WesternAnimation/{{Pete}} Peg-Leg Pete]], include an AmoralAttorney named Sylvester Shyster, a stingy old man named Eli Squinch, a [[TerribleTrio trio]] of [[ManiacMonkeys simian]] {{mad scientist}}s named Professors Ecks, Doublex, and Triplex, and his ArchEnemy, the Phantom Blot.
20** Goofy, often co-starring in Mickey's adventures, tends to face the same villains as him, but he still has a small handful of recurring enemies such as Kranz, Super-Thief, and Doctor Tempo.
21* Comicbook/TheSavageDragon has hundreds of rogues between the Vicious Circle, various Overlords, Darklord, Thor, Solar Man, The Fiend, his EvilDoppelganger, etc.
22* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
23** ''Comicbook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'':
24*** Sonic the Hedgehog has acquired a large Rogues Gallery over the comic's {{long run|ners}}. Aside from his ArchEnemy Dr. Robotnik/Eggman, Sonic and his friends have also had to deal with Eggman's nephew [[TheStarscream Snively]], [[EvilSorcerer Ixis Naugus]], [[MagnificentBastard Mammoth Mogul]], [[QuirkyMinibossSquad the Destructix]], [[EvilTwin Scourge]] and the [[ThePsychoRangers Suppression Squad]], [[AxCrazy Warlord Kodos]] (now deceased), [[AIIsACrapshoot A.D.A.M. and E.V.E.]][[note]] who, despite the ThemeNaming, never actually worked together - or even met, for that matter[[/note]] (also deceased), the [[{{Magitek}} Iron]] [[DragonLady Queen]] and [[NighInvulnerability King]], the [[FeatheredFiend Battle Bird Armada]], and traitors like [[DarkActionGirl Fiona]] [[ConsummateLiar Fox]], [[ButtMonkey Drago Wolf]], and [[RivalTurnedEvil Geoffrey]] [[TheMole St.]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist John]]. And that's not even counting all of Robotnik's numerous robots with more character than mere {{Mooks}}.
25*** Knuckles has one of his own, most of whom were introduced during his spinoff and later incorporated into the main series after the spinoff's cancellation. These include [[MadScientist Dimitri]] / [[PhysicalGod Enerjak]], [[OmnicidalManiac Finitevus]], [[ANaziByAnyOtherName the Dingo Regime]] (specifically when led by [[GeneralRipper Kage Von Stryker]]), and [[MachineWorship the Dark Legion]]. The Legion eventually joined forces with Eggman, so they can be considered part of Sonic's Rogues Gallery, too.
26*** The ContinuityReboot triggered by Ken Penders' lawsuit of Archie's continued use of characters he created has caused most of the Archie Sonic rogues gallery to be removed from the series. That being said, it's also seen the introduction of numerous new villains to fill the gap, including Eclipse (Shadow's EvilKnockoff), [[FemmeFatale Breezie the Hedgehog]], and [[AIIsACrapshoot Phage]].
27** ''Comicbook/SonicTheComic'' has its own Rogues Gallery, now continued on by the fan-continuation ''Webcomic/SonicTheComicOnline''. [[AGodAmI Dr. Robotnik]], [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Super Sonic]], [[EvilKnockoff the Metallix]], [[OmnicidalManiac Doctor Zachary]], Chaos, [[TheIgor Grimer]], Set, Megatox, Marxio Brothers, Trogg, Nutzan Bolt, Metamorphia, Nack the Weasel, Commander Brutus, [[BountyHunter Fleabyte the Bounty Hunter]], Max Gamble, Vermin the Cybernik, Doctor Robotnik Appreciation Tribe (D.R.A.T.), Colonel Percy Granite, Agent X/Shayde, Rouge the Bat, Vichama, Shadow The Hedgehog, The Family, Nightmare Creature, [[EvilKnockoff Neo Metallix]], Gizoid, etc.
28** ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'' still has Doctor Eggman and his minions (especially [[TheDragon Metal Sonic]]) as the primary threat, with the [[VideoGame/SonicLostWorld Deadly Six]] also showing up a few times as a separate faction. There's also original villains, including [[EvilDuo Rough and Tumble]], [[PsychoSupporter Doctor Starline]], [[BlackMarket Clutch]], and [[EvilKnockoff Surge and Kit]].
29* ''ComicBook/{{Superlopez}}'' has a cast of recurring bad guys including Al Trapone, Escariano Avieso, Refuller D'Abastos and Lady Araña, to name a few.
30* ''{{ComicBook/Spawn}}'' has a lot of recurring villains being both supernatural and sci-fi mostly dealing with criminals, other hellspawns, gods, angels,vampires,werewolves cyborgs, assassins,Demons,and other monsters. His most prominent and notable foes are Violator, Malebolgia, Mammon, Sinn/Cogliostro, Disruptor/Jason Wynn, Curse, Billy Kincaid, Brock Fennel, Overtkill, Cy-gor, Zera, Tiffany, The Freak, Redeemer, Dark Redeemer/The Forsaken, Plague Spawn, Omega Spawn, Morana, Ab, Zab, Urizen, Cataclysm, Rapture, Godsend, Margaret Love, Necro Cop, and Mandarin Spawn along with many more.
31* SupermanSubstitute ''ComicBook/{{Supreme}}'' has [[MadScientist Darius Dax]], [[TrappedInTVLand the Televillain]], [[GalacticConqueror Korgo the Space Tyrant]], [[EvilTwin Shadow Supreme]], [[EvilTwin Emerpus]], [[HardLight Optilux]], and [[GreatGazoo Szasz the Sprite Supreme]], among others. Almost all of these are transparent [[CaptainErsatz Captains Ersatz]] of Superman villains.
32* Despite being relatively young by the standards of many comic book continuities, ''[[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW)]]'' has built up an extremely formidable gallery of rogues, most appear at least twice, with many having their own story arcs and some arguably even have their ''own'' rogue galleries.
33** Of the core villains, there are The Shredder, Krang, Baxter Stockman, Rat King, and arguably Agent Bishop, Leatherhead, Madame Null and Old Hob fill this role as well. Villains of slightly lesser notability are plentiful but not to be underestimated, such as Karai, Hun, Natsu, Zodi, Bebop and Rocksteady, Atilla the Frog, Metalhead, Bludgeon, Koya, Ocho, Dr. Barlow and D.B., Bloch, Darius Dun, Victor, Queen Maligna, Puggle, Bandit, and Diamond.
34** On the more cosmic scale, the turtles have battled against many aliens and astral beings, such as Colonel Ch'rell, Hakk-R, Savanti Romero, Queen Maligna and Zog.
35** Of course, the Turtles haven't just faced individuals. The four brothers and many of their friends have faced off against entire teams, organizations, and even entire civilizations, such as the Foot Clan and its many sub-organizations, T.C.R.I. Corporation, Earth Protection Force, Darkwater, the Stone Soldiers, the Malignoid Swarm, Punk Frogs, Utrom Empire, the Triceratons, Stock Gen, Mighty Mutanimals, Street Phantoms, and more.
36** Inarguably the most powerful enemies ever faced by the turtles are The Pantheon, a group of Chaotic Neutral gods who have been playing a "game" with humanity, a game that's almost over. Members include the aforementioned Rat King, Aka, Manmoth, Gothano, Chi-You, Toad Baron, Jagwar, Kitsune, and their father, The Dragon.
37** Several characters and teams in the series also have their own micro-rogue galleries. Each of the turtles have one or two villains who are (or were) out for them specifically. Leonardo has Koya, Karai and "Dark Leo", whose more of his darker innerself, but they've still fought a few times. Raphael has Alopex, Zodi, and a more personal hatred for the EPF. Michelangelo is associated with Wyrm, Kara Lewis, and in the later stories, [[spoiler:Master Splinter]]. Donatello arguably has the largest of these, with Bebop and Rocksteady, Metalhead, Colonel Ch'rell, and Shredder all specifically attempting to kill him over his brothers. For their allies, Angel and Casey have beef against Hun and have butted heads against many gangs such as the Purple Dragons and the Garden State Wreckers. The Mutanimals themselves have confronted a handful of enemies unique to them, such as the Gang of Four and currently [[spoiler:the group is split apart in a war against themselves, with Man Ray, Herman, and Old Hob as the bad guys.]]
38** As mentioned before, a number of the rogues have their own rogues! Most notably of this bunch are Bebop and Rocksteady, whose antics got them tangled in all sorts of sticky situations, causing them to go up against the Ghost Boys (lead by Xiang Fei Tong), The Olympian and Bopsteady.
39** And lastly, it goes without saying that many former villains have reformed to the side of good and a few good guys went bad. For the former, Alopex, Jennika, Krisa, Slash and most recently [[spoiler:Kitsune and ''Shredder'']] all started off as recurring enemies before becoming allies to the Turtles. For the latter, Leonardo for a time and [[spoiler:Master Splinter fell to the dark side. He got better, though.]]
40* Franchise/{{Tintin}} isn't a superhero, but he did have a series of recurring antagonists: [[ArchEnemy Roberto Rastapopulous]] (''[[Recap/TintinCigarsOfThePharaoh Cigars of the Pharaoh]]'', ''[[Recap/TintinTheBlueLotus The Blue Lotus]]'', ''[[Recap/TintinTheRedSeaSharks The Red Sea Sharks]]'', ''[[Recap/TintinFlight714 Flight 714]]''), [[FascistButInefficient Colonel Sponsz]](''[[Recap/TintinTheCalculusAffair The Calculus Affair]]'', ''[[Recap/TintinTintinAndThePicaros Tintin and the Picaros]]'') Colonel Boris/Jorgen (''[[Recap/TintinKingOttokarsSceptre King Ottokar's Sceptre]]'', ''[[Recap/TintinDestinationMoon Destination Moon]]'', ''[[Recap/TintinExplorersOnTheMoon Explorers on the Moon]]''), [[TheDragon Allan]] (''Cigars of the Pharaoh'', ''[[Recap/TintinTheCrabWithTheGoldenClaws The Crab with the Golden Claws]]'', ''Flight 714''), [[UsefulNotes/NaziGermany Dr. Mueller]] (''[[Recap/TintinTheBlackIsland The Black Island]]'', ''[[Recap/TintinLandOfBlackGold Land of Black Gold]]'' minor in ''The Red Sea Sharks''), and [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized General Tapioca]] (''[[Recap/TintinTheBrokenEar The Broken Ear]]'', ''Tintin and the Picaros''). Also to a minor extent Dawson (''The Blue Lotus'', ''The Red Sea Sharks'') and Sheik Bab El-Ehr (''Land of Black Gold'', ''The Red Sea Sharks'').
41* ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'': Vampirella has had a shifting rogues gallery over the years. Some of her most frequent recurring enemies include {{Dracula}}, the progenitor of all evil vampires; the [[MadGod Mad]] GodOfEvil Chaos, who rules over Hell; Von Kreist, an undead PsychoForHire SerialKiller; and the Blood Red Queen of Hearts, a body-hopping demoness.
42* Averted in ''Comicbook/{{Watchmen}}'': One of the reasons the first wave of masked crime-fighters didn't work out well was that there weren't nearly as many villains that wore costumes, and they just ended up convincing criminals to work in less conspicuous ways.
