** While ''One Piece'' isn't a superhero series, the Straw Hat Pirates do face a number of varied and colorful adversaries (some being Marines or bounty-hunters, some being other pirates, some with superpowers and some [[BadassNormal without]]) who show up in two or more arcs, including arcs that may fall within the same overall saga, and who oppose them in at least two of those appearances. Foes who fit the bill include [[VillainousHarlequin Buggy the Clown]], [[CarryABigStick "Iron Mace" Alvida]] (both before and after she got her Devil Fruit, the second time in a VillainTeamUp with Buggy), [[MasterSwordsman Dracule Mihawk]], [[SternChase Smoker]], [[DishingOutDirt Sir Crocodile]] and the agents of [[BountyHunter Baroque Works]] (specifically the Mr. 5 team, which serves as main antagonists in two arcs), [[ExtraOreDinary "Black Cage" Hina]], [[TimeStandsStill Foxy the Silver Fox]] (if you include his anime-only appearances), [[AnIcePerson Aokiji]], the [[ProfessionalKiller Cipher Pol 9 agents]], [[PowerPalms Bartholomew Kuma]], [[CastingAShadow Gecko Moria]], [[ImplausibleFencingPowers Vice-Admiral Momonga]], [[LightIsNotGood Kizaru]], [[GeneralRipper Akainu]], [[PeoplePuppets Donquixote Doflamingo]], [[SoulPower Charlotte "Big Mom" Linlin]], [[{{Orochi}} Kurozumi Orochi]], [[DragonsUpTheYinYang Kaido]], and the [[EvilCounterpart Blackbeard Pirates]]; and if you include the anime specials and video games that are part of the overall franchise, then the likes of [[WolverineClaws Kuro]], [[WalkingArmory Don Krieg]], [[FantasticRacism Arlong]], [[BigEater Wapol]] and [[ShockAndAwe Enel]] (all one-arc villains) are part of the gallery too. Of the ones listed here, though, circumstances may change their standing on the list, since Mihawk is a NobleDemon and semi-FriendlyEnemy who only opposes the Straw Hats and other pirates by virtue of him being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Smoker eventually becomes more of a ReasonableAuthorityFigure whose only real reason for continuing to (officially) pursue the Straw Hats is because they're pirates, Aokiji only opposes the Straw Hats due to his position as an Admiral [[spoiler:up until his defection from the Marines]], Buggy and Crocodile enter into an EnemyMine situation with Luffy during the Summit War Saga, and [[spoiler:Kuma]] is more of a StealthMentor rather than being truly malicious.

* ''Manga/AstroBoy'' has quite a few recurring nemeses, such as the ruthless gangster Skunk Kusai, international crime boss Kim San Kaku and MadScientist turned conman Dr. Foola. Surprisingly, his three most iconic foes, Atlas, Pluto and The Blue Knight were all limited to a single story arc of the original manga, usually because they died at the end, but Atlas was made a recurring character in the 80s anime and the others followed suit in the 2003 series.

* ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'': There's a fairly small but frequently appearing list of enemies who either want to kill Koro-sensei or to discredit and humiliate the Class 3-E students (in two instances, both at the same time), including [[BreakThemByTalking Chairman Gakuho Asano]], [[MadScientist Shiro]], [[DrillSergeantNasty Akira Takaoka]], [[FingerGun the Reaper]], [[BloodKnight Itona Horibe]], Chairman Asano's son [[SmugSnake Gakushu Asano]], and [[TheAce the Virtuosos]] (led by Gakushu and consisting of Teppei Araki, Ren Sakakibara, Natsuhiko Koyama, and Tomoya Seo). Of this list, the Virtuosos know nothing of Koro-sensei and are more academic antagonists to Class 3-E, and [[spoiler:Itona]] eventually makes a HeelFaceTurn. On a lesser note where the list of antagonists is concerned, one could make special mention of [[ColdSniper Red-Eye]], Nagisa's mother [[MyBelovedSmother Hiromi Shiota]], and the assassin trio of [[MasterPoisoner Smog]], [[GoodOldFisticuffs Grip]] and [[TheGunslinger Gastro]], but Red-Eye is more of a PunchClockVillain who backs down from trying to snipe Koro-sensei after his multiple attempts in his introductory episode, Hiromi isn't any real threat to Koro-sensei or Class 3-E as a wider group [[spoiler:beyond trying to burn down their schoolroom]] and has managed to mend fences with Nagisa by her second appearance, and the last three [[spoiler:have far more standards than Takaoka, their employer, as they're not up for killing schoolkids]].
* Although ''Anime/TheBigO'' is a series about HumongousMecha as opposed to strictly superhero fare, Roger Smith's constant comparisons to Franchise/{{Batman}} means he gets a group of adversaries over the course of the series. These include Alex Rosewater, Jason Beck, Angel, Schwartzwald, Alan Gabriel, and Agent 12.
* The ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise isn't strictly a superhero story (Gohan's "Great Saiyaman" persona notwithstanding, plus there ''is'' the frequent comparison of Goku to Franchise/{{Superman}}), but over the course of the different series and movies, and if you include those who have repeat appearances in non-canon material, Goku and friends have faced a respectably-sized number of recurring enemies, most of whom are of alien origin like Goku himself, and who frequently seek to either rule the Earth (or the universe) or destroy it and everyone in it. Those who have shown up in more than one saga or series or in multiple movies include [[TheRival Vegeta]], [[HeroKiller Piccolo]] (both the original King Piccolo and his reincarnation Piccolo Jr.), [[DeathTrap Emperor Pilaf]], [[EvilOverlord Frieza]], [[AllYourPowersCombined Cell]], the Red Ribbon Army (led by Commander Red and including Staff Officer Black, Ninja Murasaki, General Blue, Major Metallitron, Captain Yellow, and Dr. Gero and his Androids), [[FingerPokeOfDoom Mercenary Tao]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Garlic Jr.]], [[MesACrowd Cooler]], [[TheBerserker Broly]], [[TimeStandsStill Hit]], and [[TheSociopath Goku Black]]. Of course, this includes those who eventually [[HeelFaceTurn join the good guys]], as Vegeta, Piccolo, and Androids 17 and 18 do.
* ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist'' pits the Elrics and their allies against a large number of powerful villains. This mostly comprises [[MonsterProgenitor Father]] and his [[HumanoidAbomination Homunculi]] including [[EnfantTerrible Pride]], [[TheBaroness Lust]], [[PresidentEvil King Bradley/Wrath]], [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Envy]], [[ExtremeOmnivore Gluttony]], [[LightningBruiser Sloth]], and [[LovableRogue Greed]], as well as [[VigilanteMan Scar]], [[MadBomber Solf Kimblee]], [[AxCrazy Barry the Chopper]], [[MadScientist The Gold-Toothed Doctor]], and [[JerkassGods the being known as Truth.]] [[Anime/FullMetalAlchemist the 2003 adaptation]] both [[AdaptedOut subtracts]] and [[CanonForeigner adds]] to this list with characters like [[VainSorceress Dante]], [[ColonelKilgore Frank Archer]], new versions of [[MakingASplash Sloth]] and [[WildChild Wrath]], and [[ProfessorGuineaPig Shou Tucker]][[note]] who was a one-shot villain in the manga[[/note]].
* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'': While this series isn't a superhero show, its hilariously absurd premise allows for a lot of the usual elements one expects of a superhero work (the hero uses insanely powerful abilities to defend his city from criminal elements and the occasional alien threat), so naturally Gintoki and company get to face several recurring antagonists of varying threat levels across the series, whether they be human or Amanto. Some, including [[EvilCounterpart Shinsuke Takasugi]] and the members of the [[LaResistance Kiheitai]] ([[InstrumentOfMurder Bansai Kawakami]], [[GunsAkimbo Matako Kijima]], [[EvilGenius Henpeita Takechi]], and [[BlindWeaponmaster Nizo Okada]]) prove to be quite dangerous, while others, such as [[{{Gonk}} Prince Hata]] and the [[StuffBlowingUp Evil Organization]], are either accidental threats or outright laughable depending on the episode's plot. Other adversaries include [[{{Ninja}} Zenzo Hattori]], [[TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness the Tendoshu]], [[PoisonedWeapons Oboro]], [[TheBaroness Peacock Princess Kada]], [[AIIsACrapshoot Kintoki Sakata]], [[SwordAndFist Utsuro]], and the [[TheSyndicate Harusame Space Pirates]] (which includes the likes of [[SuperStrength Abuto]] and Kagura's brother [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Kamui]]).

* If you look at ''Manga/LupinIII'' from the perspective of the law, then Lupin and his gang (Jigen, Goemon and Fujiko) are a recurring Rogues Gallery for [[SympatheticInspectorAntagonist Inspector Zenigata]]. Well, they ''are'' criminals, so...
** On Lupin's end, he has his own list of recurring adversaries across the franchise. These include Zenigata (of course), Rebecca Rossellini, Agent Nyx, Leonardo da Vinci (really), Mr. X, Kyosuke Mamo, and Pycal. One could also consider [[FemmeFatale Fujiko]] to be part of this list, as depending on the plot she's just as likely to work against Lupin as she is to work with him (and Jigen consistently warns him not to trust her, to no avail). Initially Goemon was one of his adversaries too, but eventually became an ally.
* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', as a series about super-powered humans who can undergo official training to become superheroes, naturally has a list of recurring villains, most of whom are members of or affiliated with the League of Villains. This list includes [[TheAgeless All For One]], [[WarpZone Kurogiri]], [[KnifeNut Hero Killer Stain]], [[MakeThemRot Tomura Shigaraki]], [[ArmsDealer Giran]], [[PlayingWithFire Dabi]], [[BloodMagic Himiko Toga]], [[SizeShifter Mr. Compress]], [[MagnetismManipulation Magne]], [[LizardFolk Spinner]], and [[MesACrowd Twice]].
* Manga/{{Naruto}} and his allies have a rather wide list of foes whose motives range from wanting to capture and control the Nine-tailed Fox, to destroying Konoha as a whole village, to taking revenge against specific persons in Konoha. Enemies include [[MasterOfIllusion Madara Uchiha]], [[AnimalisticAbomination Orochimaru]], [[BadassBookworm Kabuto Yakushi]], any ninja from the Hidden Sound Village (which was founded by Orochimaru and includes [[AnatomyArsenal Kimimaro Kaguya]] and the [[BarrierWarrior Sound Four]]), the [[BadassCrew Akatsuki]] group, [[AlmightyJanitor Tobi]], [[KnightTemplar Danzo Shimura]], [[ThePowerOfHate Sasuke Uchiha]] (following his FaceHeelTurn), the [[EldritchAbomination Nine-tailed Fox]] (pre-HeelFaceTurn), and several members of the [[HumanAliens Otsutsuki clan]]. It should be noted, though, that not all of these face Naruto or any of his comrades in direct physical combat, and in some cases the opposition is more ideological (Danzo [[WellIntentionedExtremist genuinely wants what he believes is best for Konoha]] but is prepared to get his hands ''really'' dirty to do it, while Akatsuki's Nagato genuinely wants to eradicate all conflict [[FreudianExcuse due to the hell he and his home village went through as a result of war]]), while in others the opposition is done more behind the scenes (Madara and Orochimaru both work through manipulation of others, while the Fox was Naruto's EnemyWithin for a very long time, again before the HeelFaceTurn).
* ''Manga/OnePiece:''
** While ''One Piece'' isn't a superhero series, the Straw Hat Pirates do face a number of varied and colorful adversaries (some being Marines or bounty-hunters, some being other pirates, some with superpowers and some [[BadassNormal without]]) who show up in two or more arcs, including arcs that may fall within the same overall saga, and who oppose them in at least two of those appearances. Foes who fit the bill include [[VillainousHarlequin Buggy the Clown]], [[CarryABigStick "Iron Mace" Alvida]] (both before and after she got her Devil Fruit, the second time in a VillainTeamUp with Buggy), [[MasterSwordsman Dracule Mihawk]], [[SternChase Smoker]], [[DishingOutDirt Sir Crocodile]] and the agents of [[BountyHunter Baroque Works]] (specifically the Mr. 5 team, which serves as main antagonists in two arcs), [[ExtraOreDinary "Black Cage" Hina]], [[TimeStandsStill Foxy the Silver Fox]] (if you include his anime-only appearances), [[AnIcePerson Aokiji]], the [[ProfessionalKiller Cipher Pol 9 agents]], [[PowerPalms Bartholomew Kuma]], [[CastingAShadow Gecko Moria]], [[ImplausibleFencingPowers Vice-Admiral Momonga]], [[LightIsNotGood Kizaru]], [[GeneralRipper Akainu]], [[PeoplePuppets Donquixote Doflamingo]], [[SoulPower Charlotte "Big Mom" Linlin]], [[{{Orochi}} Kurozumi Orochi]], [[DragonsUpTheYinYang Kaido]], and the [[EvilCounterpart Blackbeard Pirates]]; and if you include the anime specials and video games that are part of the overall franchise, then the likes of [[WolverineClaws Kuro]], [[WalkingArmory Don Krieg]], [[FantasticRacism Arlong]], [[BigEater Wapol]] and [[ShockAndAwe Enel]] (all one-arc villains) are part of the gallery too. Of the ones listed here, though, circumstances may change their standing on the list, since Mihawk is a NobleDemon and semi-FriendlyEnemy who only opposes the Straw Hats and other pirates by virtue of him being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Smoker eventually becomes more of a ReasonableAuthorityFigure whose only real reason for continuing to (officially) pursue the Straw Hats is because they're pirates, Aokiji only opposes the Straw Hats due to his position as an Admiral [[spoiler:up until his defection from the Marines]], Buggy and Crocodile enter into an EnemyMine situation with Luffy during the Summit War Saga, and [[spoiler:Kuma]] is more of a StealthMentor rather than being truly malicious.
** On the flip side, any pirate or other criminal who has a bounty poster (including the Straw Hats themselves) counts as being part of a Rogues Gallery for the Marines.
** In the series' ''Chopperman'' specials, which put Chopper in the role of a typical superhero, he gets a cast of regular enemies to fight, based on the other members of the crew: Dr. Usodabada, Zorogilla, Sanjilops, Robiflowan, and the Luffy-Bomber and Frangashan mecha (though Luffy-Bomber does a HeelFaceTurn in his first appearance).
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Ranma Saotome can't exactly catch a break with a collection of antagonists always out to beat him, the [[OvershadowedByAwesome seemingly unbeatable]]. Yet Ryoga, Mousse, Principal ''and'' Tatewaki Kuno, Gosunkugi, Hinako, Cologne, Pantyhose Taro, and Happosai all press on...[[note]]Hell, even his own ''suitors'' can be this, depending on how far they're willing to go to make him into a bridegroom.[[/note]]
* ''Anime/SamuraiFlamenco'', being a series that serves as a light-hearted {{Reconstruction}} of superhero tropes, gives the titular hero a set of foes, though they're mostly arc villains. The list of enemies he faces includes King Torture, Beyond Flamenco, Ultimate Prime Minister, Alien Flamenco, and Haiji Sawada.
* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'', a [[CorporateSponsoredSuperhero corporate-sponsored superhero duo]], has a set of villains they have to face, some of whom are members of or affiliated with the mysterious Ouroboros organization. Their enemies include Lunatic, Jake Martinez, Kriem, J.G. Benjamin, H-01, and Rotwang--and that's not counting the ones who appear in only one episode.
* Like its more comical [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries abridged-series counterpart]] below, ''Manga/YuGiOh'' has a list of recurring antagonists who serve largely as rivals to Yugi and/or his friends; their intentions usually involve claiming Yugi's Millennium Puzzle and the power it possesses, proving themselves superior in some way, or some overlap of the two. The most frequently-appearing enemies are [[TheRival Seto Kaiba]], who is determined to overcome Yugi to the point of ''trying to kill him and his friends'' in one instance, and [[WhiteHairBlackHeart Yami Bakura]], the spirit of the Millennium Ring, who wants to claim the Puzzle in order to use its power for his own nefarious ends. Others on the list include Seto's brother [[BrattyHalfPint Mokuba]] (who, keep in mind, was a lot more malicious in his earliest appearances in the manga), Weevil Underwood, Rex Raptor, Mai Valentine (specifically, her first appearance as an antagonist during Duelist Kingdom and her BrainwashedAndCrazy period during the anime-only Doma arc), Marik Ishtar and the Rare Hunters (Ghouls in the original Japanese), Kemo (who's worked for both Kaibacorp and Industrial Illusions), and the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Big Five]]; and if you want to include one-arc and filler villains, then [[ManChild Maximillion Pegasus]], Dartz, Zigfried von Schroeder, Aknadin and Zorc Necrophades (the latter two during the Memory World arc) are part of this list too. Interestingly, [[spoiler:the Millennium Ring itself]] could be considered a villain too, due to how much of an impact its very presence has had across the franchise, to include canon and non-canon material.
** Appropriately for a duelist whose Elemental Hero deck is superhero-themed, Jaden Yuki of the ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' sequel series has his own share of recurring antagonists, some of whom are dueling rivals who want to get him expelled from Duel Academy, to get the Slifer Red dorm discredited, to simply humiliate Jaden (and there's often quite a bit of overlap between those three motives), or to conquer the world for one reason or another; and some make multiple appearances across the show's four seasons, or else they're arc or season-specific foes. Over the course of the series, enemies that appear include [[SadistTeacher Dr. Vellian Crowler]], [[DarkIsEvil the Shadow Riders]], [[MalevolentMaskedMen Titan]] (both as a hired goon of Crowler's and as a member of the Shadow Riders), [[AmbitionIsEvil Slade and Jagger Princeton]], [[LightIsNotGood Sartorius]], [[TheCorruption the Light of Destruction]], [[FourEyesZeroSoul Adrian Gecko]], [[AxCrazy Yubel]], [[MasterOfIllusion Trueman]], and [[EldritchAbomination Darkness]] (originally introduced as Atticus Rhodes' SuperpoweredEvilSide before showing up as a character in his own right in the fourth season); while the [[Manga/YuGiOhGX manga]], which is set in an alternate continuity, gives us [[SealedEvilInACan Tragoedia]] and his CoDragons Reggie Mackenzie and [[CombatSadomasochist David Rabb]]. It should be noted, however, that not all of these opponents actually duel Jaden, and their antagonism takes other forms (Slade and Jagger pressure their younger brother Chazz, during his stint as North Academy's representative, to defeat Jaden in order to be allowed to join them in uplifting the family name, while Adrian manipulates Jaden and company in order to get power for his own ends, and the Light of Destruction acts primarily through manipulation of Sartorius and is only implied to be defeated by Jaden off-screen between the third and fourth seasons). And if one wants to get ''really'' technical, a case could be made for [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney Seto Kaiba]], Duel Academy's founder, being a GreaterScopeVillain to Jaden despite him only making two on-screen appearances in the whole series and never one time interacting with Jaden himself[[note]]not counting the flashback during Season 3 which reveals that Kaiba Corp, at child!Jaden's request, sent Yubel's card into space in an effort to purify it of its malevolent corruption, only for it to get ''more'' corrupted by the Light of Destruction[[/note]], since the initial prejudice against Silfer Red is due to Kaiba's own bias when creating the dorms (Slifer Red was made the lowest of the three to emphasize Kaiba's dislike of Yugi, who wielded Slifer the Sky Dragon during Battle City in the original series).
----
* Although ''Anime/TheBigO'' is a series about HumongousMecha as opposed to strictly superhero fare, Roger Smith's constant comparisons to Franchise/{{Batman}} means he gets a group of adversaries over the course of the series. These include Alex Rosewater, Jason Beck, Angel, Schwartzwald, Alan Gabriel, and Agent 12.
* The ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise isn't strictly a superhero story (Gohan's "Great Saiyaman" persona notwithstanding, plus there ''is'' the frequent comparison of Goku to Franchise/{{Superman}}), but over the course of the different series and movies, and if you include those who have repeat appearances in non-canon material, Goku and friends have faced a respectably-sized number of recurring enemies, most of whom are of alien origin like Goku himself, and who frequently seek to either rule the Earth (or the universe) or destroy it and everyone in it. Those who have shown up in more than one saga or series or in multiple movies include [[TheRival Vegeta]], [[HeroKiller Piccolo]] (both the original King Piccolo and his reincarnation Piccolo Jr.), [[DeathTrap Emperor Pilaf]], [[EvilOverlord Frieza]], [[AllYourPowersCombined Cell]], the Red Ribbon Army (led by Commander Red and including Staff Officer Black, Ninja Murasaki, General Blue, Major Metallitron, Captain Yellow, and Dr. Gero and his Androids), [[FingerPokeOfDoom Mercenary Tao]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Garlic Jr.]], [[MesACrowd Cooler]], [[TheBerserker Broly]], [[TimeStandsStill Hit]], and [[TheSociopath Goku Black]]. Of course, this includes those who eventually [[HeelFaceTurn join the good guys]], as Vegeta, Piccolo, and Androids 17 and 18 do.
* ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist'' pits the Elrics and their allies against a large number of powerful villains. This mostly comprises [[MonsterProgenitor Father]] and his [[HumanoidAbomination Homunculi]] including [[EnfantTerrible Pride]], [[TheBaroness Lust]], [[PresidentEvil King Bradley/Wrath]], [[VoluntaryShapeshifting Envy]], [[ExtremeOmnivore Gluttony]], [[LightningBruiser Sloth]], and [[LovableRogue Greed]], as well as [[VigilanteMan Scar]], [[MadBomber Solf Kimblee]], [[AxCrazy Barry the Chopper]], [[MadScientist The Gold-Toothed Doctor]], and [[JerkassGods the being known as Truth.]] [[Anime/FullMetalAlchemist the 2003 adaptation]] both [[AdaptedOut subtracts]] and [[CanonForeigner adds]] to this list with characters like [[VainSorceress Dante]], [[ColonelKilgore Frank Archer]], new versions of [[MakingASplash Sloth]] and [[WildChild Wrath]], and [[ProfessorGuineaPig Shou Tucker]][[note]] who was a one-shot villain in the manga[[/note]].
* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'': While this series isn't a superhero show, its hilariously absurd premise allows for a lot of the usual elements one expects of a superhero work (the hero uses insanely powerful abilities to defend his city from criminal elements and the occasional alien threat), so naturally Gintoki and company get to face several recurring antagonists of varying threat levels across the series, whether they be human or Amanto. Some, including [[EvilCounterpart Shinsuke Takasugi]] and the members of the [[LaResistance Kiheitai]] ([[InstrumentOfMurder Bansai Kawakami]], [[GunsAkimbo Matako Kijima]], [[EvilGenius Henpeita Takechi]], and [[BlindWeaponmaster Nizo Okada]]) prove to be quite dangerous, while others, such as [[{{Gonk}} Prince Hata]] and the [[StuffBlowingUp Evil Organization]], are either accidental threats or outright laughable depending on the episode's plot. Other adversaries include [[{{Ninja}} Zenzo Hattori]], [[TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness the Tendoshu]], [[PoisonedWeapons Oboro]], [[TheBaroness Peacock Princess Kada]], [[AIIsACrapshoot Kintoki Sakata]], [[SwordAndFist Utsuro]], and the [[TheSyndicate Harusame Space Pirates]] (which includes the likes of [[SuperStrength Abuto]] and Kagura's brother [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Kamui]]).
* ''Manga/HunterXHunter'': while some villains in the series are dealt with by the end of an arc, there's a decent amount of recurring antagonists who cause problems for Gon and his friends; namely Hisoka, Illumi, Chrollo Lucifer and the Phantom Troupe, and occasionally[[labelnote:note]]They may have the same goal as the protagonists or nothing to do with them at all, depending on the situation. Like Illumi, they're mainly a source of conflict for Killua.[[/labelnote]] the Zoldyck family.
* The ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'' franchise has the varying generations of the Joestar family going up against some truly--ahem--bizarre adversaries, most of whom don't appear past the specific adventure of the relevant Jojo they face but do show up in multiple other media. The most recurring foe across the franchise is [[BigBad Dio]], whether he appears in person or has inspired, influenced, or is otherwise somehow connected to the baddie of the current arc (and frankly, there aren't a lot of other villains in the franchise who ''aren't'' affected by him in some way). Other noteworthy foes, including those who only appear once in their respective manga/anime arc but also show up in other ''Jojo''-related media such as video game materials, consist of [[LightIsNotGood Kars]], [[BlowYouAway Wamuu]], [[MyBloodRunsHot Esidisi]], [[MakingASplash N'Doul]], [[MagnetismManipulation Mariah]], [[TheGambler Daniel D'arby]], [[EvilOldFolks Enya Geil]], [[TheGunslinger Hol Horse]], [[FeatheredFiend Pet Shop]], [[PowerOfTheVoid Vanilla Ice]], [[SerialKiller Yoshikage Kira]], [[PsychoElectro Akira Otoishi]], [[ManipulativeBastard Diavolo]], [[PresidentEvil Funny Valentine]], and [[SinisterMinister Enrico Pucci]].
* If you look at ''Manga/LupinIII'' from the perspective of the law, then Lupin and his gang (Jigen, Goemon and Fujiko) are a recurring Rogues Gallery for [[SympatheticInspectorAntagonist Inspector Zenigata]]. Well, they ''are'' criminals, so...
** On Lupin's end, he has his own list of recurring adversaries across the franchise. These include Zenigata (of course), Rebecca Rossellini, Agent Nyx, Leonardo da Vinci (really), Mr. X, Kyosuke Mamo, and Pycal. One could also consider [[FemmeFatale Fujiko]] to be part of this list, as depending on the plot she's just as likely to work against Lupin as she is to work with him (and Jigen consistently warns him not to trust her, to no avail). Initially Goemon was one of his adversaries too, but eventually became an ally.
* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'', as a series about super-powered humans who can undergo official training to become superheroes, naturally has a list of recurring villains, most of whom are members of or affiliated with the League of Villains. This list includes [[TheAgeless All For One]], [[WarpZone Kurogiri]], [[KnifeNut Hero Killer Stain]], [[MakeThemRot Tomura Shigaraki]], [[ArmsDealer Giran]], [[PlayingWithFire Dabi]], [[BloodMagic Himiko Toga]], [[SizeShifter Mr. Compress]], [[MagnetismManipulation Magne]], [[LizardFolk Spinner]], and [[MesACrowd Twice]].
* Manga/{{Naruto}} and his allies have a rather wide list of foes whose motives range from wanting to capture and control the Nine-tailed Fox, to destroying Konoha as a whole village, to taking revenge against specific persons in Konoha. Enemies include [[MasterOfIllusion Madara Uchiha]], [[AnimalisticAbomination Orochimaru]], [[BadassBookworm Kabuto Yakushi]], any ninja from the Hidden Sound Village (which was founded by Orochimaru and includes [[AnatomyArsenal Kimimaro Kaguya]] and the [[BarrierWarrior Sound Four]]), the [[BadassCrew Akatsuki]] group, [[AlmightyJanitor Tobi]], [[KnightTemplar Danzo Shimura]], [[ThePowerOfHate Sasuke Uchiha]] (following his FaceHeelTurn), the [[EldritchAbomination Nine-tailed Fox]] (pre-HeelFaceTurn), and several members of the [[HumanAliens Otsutsuki clan]]. It should be noted, though, that not all of these face Naruto or any of his comrades in direct physical combat, and in some cases the opposition is more ideological (Danzo [[WellIntentionedExtremist genuinely wants what he believes is best for Konoha]] but is prepared to get his hands ''really'' dirty to do it, while Akatsuki's Nagato genuinely wants to eradicate all conflict [[FreudianExcuse due to the hell he and his home village went through as a result of war]]), while in others the opposition is done more behind the scenes (Madara and Orochimaru both work through manipulation of others, while the Fox was Naruto's EnemyWithin for a very long time, again before the HeelFaceTurn).
* ''Manga/OnePiece:''
** While ''One Piece'' isn't a superhero series, the Straw Hat Pirates do face a number of varied and colorful adversaries (some being Marines or bounty-hunters, some being other pirates, some with superpowers and some [[BadassNormal without]]) who show up in two or more arcs, including arcs that may fall within the same overall saga, and who oppose them in at least two of those appearances. Foes who fit the bill include [[VillainousHarlequin Buggy the Clown]], [[CarryABigStick "Iron Mace" Alvida]] (both before and after she got her Devil Fruit, the second time in a VillainTeamUp with Buggy), [[MasterSwordsman Dracule Mihawk]], [[SternChase Smoker]], [[DishingOutDirt Sir Crocodile]] and the agents of [[BountyHunter Baroque Works]] (specifically the Mr. 5 team, which serves as main antagonists in two arcs), [[ExtraOreDinary "Black Cage" Hina]], [[TimeStandsStill Foxy the Silver Fox]] (if you include his anime-only appearances), [[AnIcePerson Aokiji]], the [[ProfessionalKiller Cipher Pol 9 agents]], [[PowerPalms Bartholomew Kuma]], [[CastingAShadow Gecko Moria]], [[ImplausibleFencingPowers Vice-Admiral Momonga]], [[LightIsNotGood Kizaru]], [[GeneralRipper Akainu]], [[PeoplePuppets Donquixote Doflamingo]], [[SoulPower Charlotte "Big Mom" Linlin]], [[{{Orochi}} Kurozumi Orochi]], [[DragonsUpTheYinYang Kaido]], and the [[EvilCounterpart Blackbeard Pirates]]; and if you include the anime specials and video games that are part of the overall franchise, then the likes of [[WolverineClaws Kuro]], [[WalkingArmory Don Krieg]], [[FantasticRacism Arlong]], [[BigEater Wapol]] and [[ShockAndAwe Enel]] (all one-arc villains) are part of the gallery too. Of the ones listed here, though, circumstances may change their standing on the list, since Mihawk is a NobleDemon and semi-FriendlyEnemy who only opposes the Straw Hats and other pirates by virtue of him being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Smoker eventually becomes more of a ReasonableAuthorityFigure whose only real reason for continuing to (officially) pursue the Straw Hats is because they're pirates, Aokiji only opposes the Straw Hats due to his position as an Admiral [[spoiler:up until his defection from the Marines]], Buggy and Crocodile enter into an EnemyMine situation with Luffy during the Summit War Saga, and [[spoiler:Kuma]] is more of a StealthMentor rather than being truly malicious.
** On the flip side, any pirate or other criminal who has a bounty poster (including the Straw Hats themselves) counts as being part of a Rogues Gallery for the Marines.
** In the series' ''Chopperman'' specials, which put Chopper in the role of a typical superhero, he gets a cast of regular enemies to fight, based on the other members of the crew: Dr. Usodabada, Zorogilla, Sanjilops, Robiflowan, and the Luffy-Bomber and Frangashan mecha (though Luffy-Bomber does a HeelFaceTurn in his first appearance).
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': Ranma Saotome can't exactly catch a break with a collection of antagonists always out to beat him, the [[OvershadowedByAwesome seemingly unbeatable]]. Yet Ryoga, Mousse, Principal ''and'' Tatewaki Kuno, Gosunkugi, Hinako, Cologne, Pantyhose Taro, and Happosai all press on...[[note]]Hell, even his own ''suitors'' can be this, depending on how far they're willing to go to make him into a bridegroom.[[/note]]
* ''Anime/SamuraiFlamenco'', being a series that serves as a light-hearted {{Reconstruction}} of superhero tropes, gives the titular hero a set of foes, though they're mostly arc villains. The list of enemies he faces includes King Torture, Beyond Flamenco, Ultimate Prime Minister, Alien Flamenco, and Haiji Sawada.
* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'', a [[CorporateSponsoredSuperhero corporate-sponsored superhero duo]], has a set of villains they have to face, some of whom are members of or affiliated with the mysterious Ouroboros organization. Their enemies include Lunatic, Jake Martinez, Kriem, J.G. Benjamin, H-01, and Rotwang--and that's not counting the ones who appear in only one episode.
* Like its more comical [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries abridged-series counterpart]] below, ''Manga/YuGiOh'' has a list of recurring antagonists who serve largely as rivals to Yugi and/or his friends; their intentions usually involve claiming Yugi's Millennium Puzzle and the power it possesses, proving themselves superior in some way, or some overlap of the two. The most frequently-appearing enemies are [[TheRival Seto Kaiba]], who is determined to overcome Yugi to the point of ''trying to kill him and his friends'' in one instance, and [[WhiteHairBlackHeart Yami Bakura]], the spirit of the Millennium Ring, who wants to claim the Puzzle in order to use its power for his own nefarious ends. Others on the list include Seto's brother [[BrattyHalfPint Mokuba]] (who, keep in mind, was a lot more malicious in his earliest appearances in the manga), Weevil Underwood, Rex Raptor, Mai Valentine (specifically, her first appearance as an antagonist during Duelist Kingdom and her BrainwashedAndCrazy period during the anime-only Doma arc), Marik Ishtar and the Rare Hunters (Ghouls in the original Japanese), Kemo (who's worked for both Kaibacorp and Industrial Illusions), and the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Big Five]]; and if you want to include one-arc and filler villains, then [[ManChild Maximillion Pegasus]], Dartz, Zigfried von Schroeder, Aknadin and Zorc Necrophades (the latter two during the Memory World arc) are part of this list too. Interestingly, [[spoiler:the Millennium Ring itself]] could be considered a villain too, due to how much of an impact its very presence has had across the franchise, to include canon and non-canon material.
** Appropriately for a duelist whose Elemental Hero deck is superhero-themed, Jaden Yuki of the ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' sequel series has his own share of recurring antagonists, some of whom are dueling rivals who want to get him expelled from Duel Academy, to get the Slifer Red dorm discredited, to simply humiliate Jaden (and there's often quite a bit of overlap between those three motives), or to conquer the world for one reason or another; and some make multiple appearances across the show's four seasons, or else they're arc or season-specific foes. Over the course of the series, enemies that appear include [[SadistTeacher Dr. Vellian Crowler]], [[DarkIsEvil the Shadow Riders]], [[MalevolentMaskedMen Titan]] (both as a hired goon of Crowler's and as a member of the Shadow Riders), [[AmbitionIsEvil Slade and Jagger Princeton]], [[LightIsNotGood Sartorius]], [[TheCorruption the Light of Destruction]], [[FourEyesZeroSoul Adrian Gecko]], [[AxCrazy Yubel]], [[MasterOfIllusion Trueman]], and [[EldritchAbomination Darkness]] (originally introduced as Atticus Rhodes' SuperpoweredEvilSide before showing up as a character in his own right in the fourth season); while the [[Manga/YuGiOhGX manga]], which is set in an alternate continuity, gives us [[SealedEvilInACan Tragoedia]] and his CoDragons Reggie Mackenzie and [[CombatSadomasochist David Rabb]].
