* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: In the same ways that Taylor contrasts with Victoria, her opponents are also generally different. Taylor's power could generally be seen as weak but flexible and long-ranged, and her strength and toughness were baseline human at best, so the opponents that gave her the most trouble were physical powerhouses (e.g. Endbringers, Lung, Kaiser, Crawler, Mannequin, [[spoiler:Alexandria, Scion]].) or those who had ways of effectively countering her power by destroying her swarm or otherwise neutralizing her abilities (e.g. Armsmaster, Burnscar, Bonesaw, Coil, Mannequin again). These opponents forced her to rely on her intelligence and creativity to get the most out of her powers; many of them could have been defeated by main force, but Taylor rarely had the means to deliver that kind of hit and instead had to outsmart her enemies, or simply survive long enough to figure out a critical enemy weakness. Victoria, on the other hand, has a forcefield that renders her mostly immune to physical damage (at least initially), is incredibly strong in close combat, has an aura that works best up close, and has flight that gives her great mobility. Thus, her greatest opponents are people who can't be easily defeated with a punch or have some other power that prevents Victoria from getting close enough to deliver one. This includes people who control hordes of relatively weak minions that must be defeated or bypassed (e.g. Teacher), people who can turn allies against her or exploit her own mental issues (Goddess, Mamma Mathers, [[spoiler:Valefor, The Simurgh]]), and people or things that can cause problems so great or esoteric that Victoria by herself has little hope of countering them (Teacher again, Cradle, the Machine Army, [[spoiler:The Simurgh again, Titan Fortuna and all of the unfriendly Titans, and anti-cape sentiment among the masses of unpowered humans]]). Victoria's opponents therefore force her to find ways beyond just main force to stop them, or force her to be creative in order to find a way to put herself or her allies in position to deliver a fight-ending blow.
