* 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 GuestPartyMember 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.

** Gilgamesh was TheDragon in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'', but is now [[WalkingTheEarth Walking The Multi Verse]] as a BonusBoss.

** The main villain of ''Film/BlackAdam'' is Sabbac, usually an enemy of [[Comicbook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel Jr. and the Marvel Family]] in the comics. In fact, the comics had previously portrayed Sabbac and Black Adam as ''allies'' rather than enemies.

** On a few occasions when he wasn't trying and failing to catch the Road Runner, a suddenly-voiced 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.

** 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.

'''Characters/{{Daredevil|MattMurdock}}:''' Hey, it's like I said. We turned [[Characters/MarvelComicsTheKingpin Kingpin]] from a Franchise/SpiderMan villain into a Daredevil villain in the seventies and I never looked back.

** The main villain of ''Film/BlackAdam'' is Sabbac, usually an enemy of Captain Marvel Jr. and the Marvel Family in the comics. In fact, the comics had previously portrayed Sabbac and Black Adam as ''allies'' rather than enemies.

** Of the 8 playable Survivors ({{Palette Swap}}s included) that hail from ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Leon S.]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 Kennedy]] and [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3 Carlos Oliveira]] are the only person to have never come into contact with Albert Wesker.[[note]]The closest Leon got to meeting Wesker was in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' when the latter hired Ada Wong in retrieving a Las Plagas sample.[[/note]] Likewise, the only ''Resident Evil'' survivors who have encountered [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3 Nemesis]] are Jill Valentine and Carlos.

** On a somewhat different note, [[spoiler: [[Machinima/RedVsBlue The Meta]] becomes this for Pyrrha due to her resemblance to [[Machinima/RedVsBlue Agent Carolina]].]]

* 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, 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.

->'''ComicBook/GreenArrow:''' I can't believe your advice worked. We actually managed to turn ComicBook/RasAlGhul into an ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' villain.\\
'''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}:''' Hey, it's like I said. We turned [[ComicBook/TheKingpin Kingpin]] from a Franchise/SpiderMan villain into a Daredevil villain in the seventies and I never looked back.

While any SharedUniverse may depict a hero fighting another's antagonist, usually they remain identified with the original. For instance, Franchise/{{Superman}} may occasionally fight ComicBook/TheJoker, and Franchise/{{Batman}} may take on ComicBook/LexLuthor 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.

* ''Anime/BatmanNinja'' has Gorilla Grodd as being one of Batman's foes, despite having originated as a villain to Franchise/TheFlash. Similarly, ComicBook/{{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 ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}, at times the Teen Titans' leader and whom also appears in the film, is the more specific ArchEnemy he singles out among the team).

* ''[[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 ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson doesn't actually have one in the comics.

* ''WesternAnimation/CatwomanHunted'': ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} and ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} end up facing enemies who aren't part of their usual rogues galleries; ComicBook/{{Cheetah}} (''Franchise/WonderWoman''), Tobias Whale (''ComicBook/BlackLightning'' and ''Franchise/{{Batman}}''), Nosferata (''ComicBook/{{Superboy}}''), Cheshire (''Franchise/TeenTitans''), Boss Moxie Mannheim (''ComicBook/{{Superman}}''), Dr. Tzin (''Franchise/{{Batman}}''), La Dama (''ComicBook/BlueBeetle''), ComicBook/TaliaAlGhul (''Franchise/{{Batman}}''), and Oyabun Noguri (''ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders'' and given the codename "Mr. Yakuza" here). Black Mask is the only villain who is well known for facing against Catwoman, and ironically this movie seems to be their first meeting.

** ''Film/BirdsOfPrey2020'' pits Harley Quinn as lead hero against Black Mask and Mr. Zsasz, who are both Gotham villains in the comics, but have rarely had much to do with her. (Both of them usually fight Batman, apart from the periods when Black Mask has been used as Catwoman's ArchEnemy in her solo title.) Of course, Harley herself is/was a Batman rogue, so this is a rather downplayed example.

* Viper started off as a Comicbook/CaptainAmerica foe and is usually an enemy of Comicbook/NickFury and ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} as well (to the point that she's now known as [[ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} Madame Hydra]]). Despite this, she is one of the antagonists in ''Film/TheWolverine''. Understandable since despite her connections to Captain America and S.H.I.E.L.D., she has appeared in several notable Wolverine storylines[[note]]This depiction was InNameOnly however[[/note]].

* ''Literature/MarvelsSpiderManHostileTakeover'' features Echo as an antagonist, with a storyline that loosely adapts her first appearance. However, this version of the character attacks Spider-Man after being tricked into believing he killed her father, unlike in the comics, where it was ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} who was framed for the deed.

* ''Series/{{Peacemaker}}'':

** It's also established that one of Peacemaker's first public victories was against Kite Man, a D-list Batman villain in the commics.
* 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 promenent 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]]

** In a more specific example, the Gambler is said to have been the arch-nemesis of the original Doctor Mid-Nite. In the comics, the Gambler was actually created as an enemy of Alan Scott, the original Franchise/GreenLantern.

** Season 2 has Mercy Graves, ComicBook/LexLuthor's [[BodyguardBabes bodyguard]], as a recurring villainess. In both the comics and ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' ([[CanonImmigrant where she was first introduced]]), she's primarily an enemy of Superman. Justified in that Superboy, the clone containing DNA from Superman and Lex Luthor, is her main target.
** Season 3 features ComicBook/RedHood as the main villain, and also brings iconic Batman villain ComicBook/TheScarecrow into the mix, along with ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} enemy Lady Vic.

** The original game features ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}} as an enemy and boss fight. Though he has fought Spidey before (most notably ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012''), Taskmaster debuted in ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' and more commonly menaces heroes more heavily associated with that team. Here, while the Avengers do exist, they don't appear in this game, leaving Spider-Man to deal with him.

* 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 ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and ComicBook/TheAvengers.

* ''WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'' has a lot of this, largely due to many villains being alignment-swapped in this universe and pulling out more obscure DC villains to act as enemies. For instance, the Double Dare Twins are little-known ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} villains, but are often used in a VillainOfTheWeek role, either against ComicBook/{{Katana}} or the Franchise/WonderWoman/ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}/ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} team, while he hasn't shown up at all. Dark Opal ''kind'' of counts, as while he menaces the DCSHG team, mainly Supergirl, here, his backstory {{flashback}} shows that he got there by running away from ComicBook/{{Amethyst|PrincessOfGemworld}}.

* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'' uses Impossible Man, another ComicBook/FantasticFour enemy, as well as Doctor Doom. [[LegionOfDoom The Cabal]], originally created as the EvilCounterpart of ComicBook/TheIlluminati, act as the first main antagonists, founded by Captain America's ArchEnemy Red Skull and his other enemy MODOK (whom is more acknowledged here by his later encounters with Iron Man), with Dracula, ComicBook/SubMariner rogue Attuma, and Hyperion (a member of the ComicBook/SquadronSupreme, though his overall depiction is closer to the villainous Squadron Sinister version) also added. Later arcs find ways to add Thanos and the Black Order (though CrisisCrossover events do see Thanos face the team in the comics despite being better known for his encounters with cosmic heroes), a new Cabal featuring [[spoiler: the Leader, Zola, Enchantress, and Loki]], all enemies of [[spoiler:Hulk, Captain America, and Thor, though Loki was the Avengers' original StarterVillain]], and Madame Masque, whom normally faced Iron Man and Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), was used in a season that was heavily centric to ComicBook/BlackPanther, just to name a few, that same season mainly having his enemy [[ComicBook/{{Killmonger}} Erik Killmonger]] as the main antagonist.

* ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman'' uses Tobias Whale, who is traditionally an enemy of Comicbook/BlackLightning and Simon Stagg, who is the archenemy of ComicBook/{{Metamorpho}} (who, unlike Black Lightning, ''did'' appear). Comicbook/{{Deathstroke}} also appears, and while he is pretty much a general DC Universe menace these days and ''has'' fought Batman quite a bit, having some moments as an EvilCounterpart of Batman (this time around, Alfred mentored him too), the character originated as a ComicBook/TeenTitans villain.

** ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' used Clock King and Count Vertigo (the latter depicted as a former friend of Ra's al Ghul to justify his inclusion), who were originally ComicBook/GreenArrow villains in the comics.

** While Sinestro in the comics fought several Franchise/{{Green Lantern}}s, he was the archenemy and EvilMentor of Hal Jordan. In the DCAU, his debut in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' saw him fight Kyle Rayner (and be the one to murder [[DeathByOriginStory Abin Sur]], therefore causing Kyle to get the ring) and ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' gave John Stewart Hal's role in Sinestro's expulsion from the GLC.

*** Solomon Grundy does not fight against Franchise/GreenLantern ''or'' Franchise/{{Batman}}, but instead against Franchise/{{Superman}} and Hawkgirl. Somewhat justified by Grundy occassionally facing Superman in Bronze Age stories.
*** ''Unlimited'' portrayed Devil Ray (the CaptainErsatz of Black Manta) as a foe of Franchise/WonderWoman instead of ComicBook/{{Aquaman}}. This was due to rights issues with the failed ''Mercy Reef'' pilot that kept Aquaman himself from appearing in the last season of JLU.
*** Gentleman Ghost and Shadow Thief spend most of their time fighting Franchise/GreenLantern instead of Hawkman, although in the latter's case, it is due to the LoveTriangle involving Hawkgirl.
*** Instead of being a foe of the ComicBook/{{Justice Society|OfAmerica}}, Roulette appears as a foe of the League. However, her debut does however involve ComicBook/{{Wildcat}} and ComicBook/BlackCanary, members of the JSA in the comics.
** While he's crossed paths with Batman before and was involved in the origins of ComicBook/PoisonIvy, the Floronic Man made his DCAU debut in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAndHarleyQuinn'' whereas the comic character started out as an enemy of ComicBook/TheAtom and is a regular opponent of ComicBook/SwampThing (the latter of whom cameos in the film).

** ComicBook/PoisonIvy is Franchise/GreenLantern ([[LegacyCharacter Jessica Cruz]])'s nemesis and idealogical EvilCounterpart.
** Cavalier, traditionally a minor Batman villain, is Comicbook/GreenArrow's arch-rival here, and also has a grudge against Comicbook/{{Zatanna}}.

* The sole costumed supervillain to show up in the first season of ''WesternAnimation/HitMonkey'' is Lady Bullseye, who is an enemy of ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} in the comics.

* The Mad Thinker and Awesome Android pop up in ''WesternAnimation/IronManArmoredAdventures'' as enemies (and classmates) of Tony and his buddies. In the comics, they're traditionally enemies of the Comicbook/FantasticFour, even in the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe (which the show went with, depicting the Mad Thinker as a [[AgeLift teenaged]] [[GenderFlip girl]], instead of an adult man like the original). And then there's ComicBook/DoctorDoom and ComicBook/{{Magneto}}, who both show up in Season 2 (Magneto's appearance, in fairness, also features Professor X and Jean Grey, both of whom were from the X-Men).

* The true villain of the first season of ''WesternAnimation/{{MODOK|2021}}'' is ultimately revealed to be [[spoiler:Hexus the Living Corporation, who originated in Creator/GrantMorrison's ''Marvel Boy'' limited series]].

* ComicBook/DoctorDoom was featured as a villain in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1981'' and its related series ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'', neither of which acknowledged his usual enemies the Fantastic Four. Spider-Man considered him his ArchEnemy instead of Doctor Octopus or Green Goblin in those series.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}'' occasionally featured Killer Moth, a villain mostly associated with the Batman franchise and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} in particular.

* Taken to the extreme in ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider|Man2012}}-Man'', as part of the show's apparent attempt to be as different as possible to the traditional Spider-Man formula. So far, the show has largely avoided classic Spider-Man antagonists, the only ones showing up after more than ''twenty'' episodes being ComicBook/{{Venom}} ([[spoiler:with Harry Osborn as the host instead of Eddie Brock, though the symbiote later goes to Flash Thompson and turn him into Agent Venom as it does in the comics]]), ComicBook/DoctorOctopus, ComicBook/NormanOsborn (who doesn't become the Green Goblin until the ''season finale'') and Sandman. The other episodes involve either crossover episodes with other heroes involving villains from the guest-star's rogue gallery (Living Laser for ComicBook/IronMan, Loki for [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]], Zzzax for [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]], Mesmero and ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}} for ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}) or villains from other Rogues Galleries who are treated like they were Spider-Man's regular villains (Doctor Doom and the Frightful Four, whom are Fantastic Four villains, Batroc the Leaper, whom is a Captain America villain, ComicBook/{{Taskmaster}}, who debuted as an Avengers villain, Whirlwind, originally a foe of Ant-Man, the ComicBook/{{Juggernaut|MarvelComics}} (though justified in that there was one notable comic story where Spider-Man did fight Juggernaut)...) As an added twist, some of Spider-Man's foes are now tied to other heroes, such as Kraven being the one who killed ComicBook/WhiteTiger's father, and the Scorpion being from the same mythical city as ComicBook/IronFist. Even though the show did eventually bring in more Spider-Man rogues and storylines, the aforementioned Taskmaster becomes TheHeavy in the first half of season 3, where he recruits potential new SHIELD heroes [[spoiler:to spring Green Goblin from prison, leading to Goblin's travels across the Spider-Verse]], and in season 4, ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} and its leader Arnim Zola, both foes of Captain America and SHIELD (the latter being the mentors to Spider-Man and other heroes) begin to back the Sinister Six, and Crossbones, another foe of Cap and SHIELD, [[spoiler:is selected by HYDRA to replace Dr. Curt Connors as the Lizard when Spider-Man successfully cures Connors for good]].

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Young Justice|2010}}''
** The ''majority'' of villains are not associated to any specific hero. Almost all the heroes work for or with the Justice League [[EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily while most of the villains are part of]] [[LegionOfDoom The Light]]. Speaking of The Light, the main council is lead by ComicBook/VandalSavage, whom originally faced [[Franchise/GreenLantern Alan Scott]] but became an overarching villain to the DC universe as a whole, in this case here as a WellIntentionedExtremist, and has maintained Franchise/{{Superman}} villain ComicBook/LexLuthor, ComicBook/JusticeLeagueInternational villain Queen Bee, and ComicBook/{{Etrigan}} villain ComicBook/KlarionTheWitchBoy, whom is also remembered for his role in the storyline ''Sins of Youth''. Other members of The Light, most of which were rotated out and replaced by other villains, include Franchise/{{Batman}} villain ComicBook/RasAlGhul, ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} villains Ocean Master and Black Manta, ComicBook/DoomPatrol villain the Brain, ComicBook/TeenTitans and ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} villain ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}, original Superman archenemy and later Justice Society villain Ultra-Humanite, ComicBook/NewGods and Mister Miracle villain Granny Goodness, and [[spoiler:ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders villain Bad Samaritan, here an ambassador of Markovia in the United Nations]]. By the show's present time period, the whole concept of a Rogues Gallery [[ExaggeratedTrope has pretty much vanished]].
** Speaking of Luthor, he never interacts with Franchise/{{Superman}} (though he retains his connection to ComicBook/{{Superboy}} in being his source of human DNA, a father of sorts). In fact, overall he comes comes off more as an [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Arrow Family]] villain--his first appearance sees him engaged in a XanatosGambit against [[spoiler:clone!]][[ArcherArchetype Roy]], and he's eventually revealed to be behind [[spoiler:the capture of the original Roy Harper and creation of clone!Roy as a ManchurianAgent]]. After that, [[spoiler:he uses his Secretary-General position to attempt to promote the Justice League and the Outsiders as HeroesWithBadPublicity]].

** Even taking into account how Ma'alefa'ak, typically the ArchEnemy of Martian Manhunter, was changed from his brother to Miss Martian's brother, he is also mainly seen as an adversary for the ComicBook/NewGods due to his loyalty to ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} and his stirring of tensions on New Genesis. [[spoiler:His later loyalty for Lor-Zod, revamped as a time traveler, also makes him become an adversary of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes.]]
** [[spoiler:General Zod became the StarterVillain of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes rather than being one of ComicBook/{{Superman}}'s major enemies, due to only finally being let out of the Phantom Zone in their time and being re-imprisoned by them. His son Lor-Zod, adapting [[AdaptationalVillainy changes]] in ''ComicBook/SupermanFamilyAdventures'' and ''ComicBook/SupermanRebirth'' and being depicted as a time traveler, likewise becomes one when he hopes that killing [[ComicBook/Superboy1994 Conner Kent]] will [[RetGone erase]] the Legion, and becomes another New Gods adversary through his partnership with Darkseid.]]

** In his [[VideoGame/SilentHill2 first appearance]] in the ''Franchise/SilentHill'' franchise, Pyramid Head served as James Sunderland's tormentor. Here, he's going 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]]
** Of the 6 playable Survivors ({{Palette Swap}}s included) that hail from ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Leon S.]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil4 Kennedy]] is the only person to have never come into contact with Albert Wesker.[[note]]The closest either of them were to meeting was in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'' when the latter hired Ada Wong in retrieving a Las Plagas sample.[[/note]] Likewise, the only ''Resident Evil'' survivor who has encountered [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3 Nemesis]] is Jill Valentine.

* 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. 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.

* ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'' does the same thing as its Web Animation counterpart:

* The “Armor Wars” two-parter in ''WesternAnimation/IronMan'' sees the title character hunting down various armored characters from across the Marvel Universe, including the Beetle (originally a Human Torch villain and best known for fighting Spider-Man) and Stilt-Man (an enemy of Daredevil).
* ''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.

** On a few occasions when he wasn’t trying and failing to catch the Roadrunner, a suddenly-voiced 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 Roadrunner's usual role.

''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' however brought him back to being Mickey's ArchEnemy in the early 2000's in animation, a role he was portrayed in [[ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse in the comics]] from the beginning.
* According to the ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998'' 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".

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' occasionally featured Killer Moth, a villain mostly associated with the Batman franchise and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} in particular.

* 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 [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDoo Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Machine gang]], [[WesternAnimation/DynomuttDogWonder Blue Falcon and Dynomutt]], and [[WesternAnimation/CaptainCavemanAndTheTeenAngels Captain Caveman and Dee Dee Skyes]].
