History RoguesGalleryTransplant / MarvelUniverse

** On account of the fact that Spider-Man is more of an all-ages character than Daredevil and far more ubiquitous and popular, i.e. it's easier to greenlight a Spider-Man cartoon than a Daredevil one, Kingpin in multiple media still shows up as a regular part of Spider-Man's Rogues Gallery in diverse animated adaptations and video games. His two major live-action appearances have been in Daredevil properties and both of them target a PG-13 to R crowd. He is Spidey's archenemy in the continuity of the [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 Insomniac's Spider-Man game]] and BigBad of it's prequel novel (although he is just the WarmupBoss in the game proper, his defeat leading to an EvilPowerVacuum that starts the main conflict of the game), he's appeared as a Spider-Man BigBad in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'' (where he [[HeroKiller murders]] one version of Peter), and he's part of a BigBadEnsemble in the ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' comics and ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'', which still acknowledge him as being a more [[ItsPersonal personal]] foe of [[HeroOfAnotherStory Daredevil]], though he's mostly seen giving Spider-Man grief. In 616 comics, Kingpin still appears as a regular foe of Spider-Man but hasn't been the BigBad of a storyline since ''Back in Black'', which involved Spider-Man [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown cutting loose]] and mocking Kingpin for having no powers and demonstrating how powerful Peter really is, making it hard for later writers to use him in the traditional way before. As such, Kingpin shows up more as TheManBehindTheMan and crime broker for other bad guys than a physical threat in his own right. However, perhaps due to his association with the more adult-oriented Daredevil, the Kingpin does ''not'' appear in the ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'' or ''WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan'' cartoons, being left out in favor of different crime lord rogues that were solely Spider-Man villains, most notably Hammerhead.

* The various Green Goblins were notable for being solely Spider-Man villains, never antagonizing other New York-based heroes as Doc Ock or Electro would. Since ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', however, ComicBook/NormanOsborn has been transformed into an over-riding BigBad of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, specifically clashing with the ComicBook/NewAvengers. After trying to take the Avengers again with another team of ComicBook/DarkAvengers and a H.A.M.M.E.R. made up of ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} and A.I.M. personnel, he has gone back to being a Spidey villain. [[spoiler:Firmly reestablished at the GrandFinale of ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan''.]] The run of Captain America by Ta-Nehisi Coates would then include him in the Power Elite that opposed Captain America.

* ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'':
** Omega Red started off as an X-Men foe before focusing squarely on Wolverine. In the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe, Omega Red is primarily a foe of [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Peter Parker]] and his successor, [[AffirmativeActionLegacy Miles Morales]]. Likewise, ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} made his Ultimate debut fighting Spider-Man (though the arc was also a sequel to an ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'' arc and featured the team).

** Bolivar Trask is most associated with the ComicBook/XMen in mainstream Marvel continuity, but in the [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate Universe]] he became integrated into ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan's mythos, eventually becoming the BigBad of [[VideoGame/UltimateSpiderMan2005 the video game adaptation]].

* In the very early days of the Silver Age Franchise/MarvelUniverse, the ComicBook/FantasticFour's ComicBook/HumanTorch had his own rogues gallery as a solo hero. Two of his mainstays, the Wizard and the Trapster, would later become enemies of the Fantastic Four, with the Wizard becoming an EvilCounterpart to [[ComicBook/MisterFantastic Reed Richards]] and even forming his own EvilCounterpart team in the Frightful Four, of which the Trapster was a charter member. The Trapster and the Beetle, another long-standing enemy of the Torch, would also become recurring enemies of ComicBook/SpiderMan. It's so pronounced that in both the ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan comic]] and [[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 TV show]], the Beetle is more or less treated as a straight-up Spidey villain (being a founding member of the Sinister Six there). Though during the days he wore his first costume, he fought Daredevil more often, only to completely abandon him with his upgrade, choosing Iron Man as a secondary nemesis. The Eel also originally debuted as a foe of the Human Torch before becoming a semi-regular ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} villain.

* Many of the enemies the various members of ComicBook/TheAvengers had faced as solo heroes would later become enemies of the team as a whole, with characters like [[MadScientist Egghead]], an enemy of ComicBook/AntMan, a.k.a. Henry Pym; ComicBook/BaronZemo, (an enemy of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and the founder of the original Masters of Evil); ComicBook/{{Loki}}, an enemy of ComicBook/TheMightyThor (unique in that he ''also'' was their StarterVillain); and the Mandarin, the ArchEnemy of ComicBook/IronMan, all becoming some of the Avengers' worst enemies. This would also get inverted. The first incarnation of the Masters of Evil featured the Black Knight as a foil for Wasp and Giant Man and Radioactive Man as the foil for Thor. Soon after, both became regular enemies of ComicBook/IronMan.
* Speaking of ComicBook/BaronZemo, though he's best known as an enemy of the original Captain America, he's also menaced Steve's successors to the mantle, ComicBook/BuckyBarnes and [[ComicBook/TheFalcon Sam Wilson]]. Zemo's connections to the Thunderbolts have also given him a grudge against ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}, leading to appearances as a major antagonist in both ''Hawkeye: Blind Spot'' and ''ComicBook/OldManHawkeye''. Lastly, he clashed with ComicBook/ThePunisher during the latter's brief stint as the new ComicBook/WarMachine, and subsequently appeared as one of the main villains of the ensuing 2018 ''Punisher'' relaunch.

* The [[PsychoForHire contract killer]] Boomerang, who uses deadly gimmick boomerangs as his weapons, originally started out fighting [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]], before he moved on to become a semi-regular ComicBook/SpiderMan villain after writers realized that trick boomerangs versus the most powerful creature on Earth was a bit of a mismatch. Boomerang even appears in the Uncanny X-Men UsefulNotes/{{Nintendo|EntertainmentSystem}} game by LJN even though he's neither a X-Men enemy nor a mutant.

** Arcade was the main villain for young Marvel superheroes for a time, trapping the ComicBook/AvengersAcademy kids and the [[UsefulNotes/TheModernAgeOfComicBooks Modern Age]] Young Allies in Murderworld, and doing the same in ''ComicBook/AvengersArena'' with more teen superheroes.

* ComicBook/{{Juggernaut|MarvelComics}} was and still is one of the ComicBook/XMen's most iconic and recurring adversaries, but quite possibly the most famous comic book story he had ever been in was ''Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut!'', where he tangled with ComicBook/SpiderMan. The story was meant to establish Spidey as the ultimate underdog, where the Juggernaut, a character Spidey normally never has to deal with and far outside his weight class, is causing trouble and Spider-Man is the only one there who can stop him. This battle got a modern sequel in the ''The Gauntlet'' arc.

* Dracula himself also qualifies, though he didn't start out as anyone's rogue and happened to fight any superhero who crossed his way like Thor, Silver Surfer or Dr. Strange. With that said, he went on to became a recurring antagonist to ComicBook/{{Blade}} (who, ironically, starred in Dracula's own series and became hugely popular afterwards) and regularly clashed with the X-Men-related characters more than with any other hero, such as ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}} (leading to one alternate reality where Storm was a vampire), Old Man Logan and Deadpool. It was revealed that even X-Men's BigBad ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}} was Dracula's ArchEnemy at one point.

* ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} started out as a foe of [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]] before becoming primarily associated with the Franchise/XMen.

* The Multiversal Masters of Evil from ''ComicBook/TheAvengersJasonAaron'' are an interesting variation on the trope. The group is comprised of [[Characters/MarvelComicsDoctorDoom Doom Supreme]], [[Characters/MarvelComicsThanos}} Kid Thanos]], Ghost Goblin ([[Characters/MarvelComicsNormanOsborn Green Goblin]] as a Spirit of Vengeance), King Killmonger ([[Characters/BlackPantherEnemies Erik Killmonger]] inside the Asgardian Destroyer armor), and Dark Phoenix ([[Characters/MarvelComicsMystique Mystique]] as a Phoenix Force host), all of whom do traditionally have some connection to the Avengers or at least one of their individual members. However, with the exception of Kid Thanos (who is simply a child version of Earth-616's Thanos), the Masters are all Variants from alternate realities, and thus have no real history with the Avengers of Earth-616.

* Grey Gargoyle was always a Thor foe. However, he's faced Captain America and Falcon a few times and got on Nick Fury's attention when he hired himself out to AIM. He's basically faced most of the major Marvel heroes following ''ComicBook/ActsOfVengeance'': Hulk, She-Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the Fantastic Four. It probably helped that he appeared on the cover of an Iron Man comic in the '90s that led to him being cast in ''WesternAnimation/IronManTheAnimatedSeries'' as one of Mandarin's henchmen.

* Madame Masque for most of her existence was an ComicBook/IronMan villain, but since the 2010s, she has become the ArchEnemy of [[Characters/MarvelComicsKateBishop Kate Bishop]] (purely out of spite because Kate once knocked her out and [[MuggedForDisguise stole her costume]]). First Masque antagonized Kate in her solo arc in ''ComicBook/Hawkeye2012'', then again in ''ComicBook/Hawkeye2016'', and again in ''ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers2018''.

* The first Silver Samurai, another character closely associated with Wolverine and the X-Men, also first appeared fighting Daredevil. And while he's best known as a Wolverine villain now, he's also clashed with ComicBook/ShangChi, ComicBook/BlackWidow and Spider-Man. His son, Shin Harada, originated as a Wolverine villain, but also battled ComicBook/JaneFoster during her time as the new ComicBook/{{Thor|2014}}.

** ComicBook/WonderWoman expy Power Princess gains traditional Thor baddies Mangog, Gorr the God Butcher, Ulik and Hela, as well as traditional Avengers [[ComicBook/TheWasp Janet Van Dyne]], Tigra and [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHercules Hercules]] (serving as pastiches of Wonder Woman's foes Giganta, ComicBook/{{Cheetah}} and Hercules, respectively), traditional X-Men members [[ComicBook/JeanGrey Phoenix]] and ComicBook/IllyanaRasputin, and the Venom villain Knull.

* Graviton is primarily an Avengers villain, but was also a major recurring adversary of the original ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}}. He's also faced other heroes like ComicBook/{{Shuri}} and Miles Morales.

* ''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.

* The Phoenix Force, while going back and forth through the HeelFaceRevolvingDoor at a rate of knots and often subject to BlueAndOrangeMorality, is usually near inextricably related to the X-Men and their associated books, such as {{ComicBook/Excalibur}} - and in the latter case, only because ComicBook/RachelSummers was on the roster. Recently, however, the entity first became a global threat in ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', then shuffled over to the ''Thor'' books under Jason Aaron's pen, making an important appearance in ''ComicBook/Thor2014'' and the King Thor sections of his ''Thor'' run, being revealed to have a complicated relationship with Asgard (having hooked up with both Odin and Thor in the past). While she simultaneously appeared in the ''ComicBook/JeanGrey'' book in the run up to ''ComicBook/PhoenixResurrection'', the culmination of that book had Jean firmly tell the entity to sod off and leave her alone, suggesting that she's out of the X-Men's orbit for the time being. The Phoenix Force returned in a big way for a storyline in ''ComicBook/TheAvengersJasonAaron'', which ended with former Avenger and recurring Daredevil ally Echo becoming the entity’s new host.

* Nebula was conceived as the nemesis of the second {{ComicBook/Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}}(Monica Rambeau), but remained a general Avengers villain after Captain Marvel mostly disappeared from the book and focused more personally on Starfox. Then she became a frequent opponent of The Silver Surfer before appearing in Loki's stories when he was trying to reform. Then she joined Gamora's team Graces only to betray Gamora and turn the group against her. Then Nebula became a general Guardians Of The Galaxy enemy.

* The Multiversal Masters of Evil from ''ComicBook/TheAvengersJasonAaron'' are an interesting variation on the trope. The group is comprised of [[Characters/MarvelComicsDoctorDoom Doom Supreme]], [[ComicBook/{{Thanos}} Kid Thanos]], Ghost Goblin (ComicBook/NormanOsborn as a Spirit of Vengeance), King Killmonger (ComicBook/ErikKillmonger inside the Asgardian Destroyer armor), and Dark Phoenix ([[Characters/MarvelComicsMystique Mystique]] as a Phoenix Force host), all of whom do traditionally have some connection to the Avengers or at least one of their individual members. However, with the exception of Kid Thanos (who is simply a child version of Earth-616's Thanos), the Masters are all Variants from alternate realities, and thus have no real history with the Avengers of Earth-616.

* ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}} first appeared in ''ComicBook/XFactor'' as the leader of the Alliance of Evil (a role, again, originally intended for the Owl) eventually becoming their BigBad, getting killed, and, upon resurrection, graduating to become one of the ComicBook/XMen's most powerful foes and being {{retcon}}ned as ComicBook/{{Cable}}'s archenemy. The former might not be quite enough to qualify as this trope since the incarnation of X-Factor that had Apocalypse as the BigBad consisted of the original five X-Men, making the whole thing X-Men in all but name to begin with. Cable, on the other hand, while very much an X-Men related character, especially due to him being the future son of Cyclops, has his own distinct rogues gallery that usually only overlaps with the X-Men during crossover events. Since Jason Aaron took over the Thor title and the beginning of ''ComicBook/UncannyAvengers'' (where he and Thor were manipulated into a confrontation by Kang), he also became a part time enemy of Thor - albeit usually in flashbacks when fighting a pre-Mjolnir Thor, who holds something of a grudge against him for a beating that Apocalypse handed out to him. Since Apocalypse has been worshipped as a god, and is a PhysicalGod in terms of raw power anyway, it's fitting.

* Dracula himself also qualifies, though he didn't start out as anyone's rogue and happened to fight any superhero who crossed his way like Thor, Silver Surfer or Dr. Strange. With that said, he went on to became a recurring antagonist to {{ComicBook/Blade}} (who, ironically, starred in Dracula's own series and became hugely popular afterwards) and regularly clashed with the X-Men-related characters more than with any other hero, such as ComicBook/{{Storm}} (leading to one alternate reality where Storm was a vampire), Old Man Logan and Deadpool. It was revealed that even X-Men's BigBad {{ComicBook/Apocalypse}} was Dracula's ArchEnemy at one point.
* MadScientist Dr. Bong began life as the foe of ComicBook/HowardTheDuck, but recently he seems to have largely migrated over to being part of ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'s supporting cast (probably because of Howard not having a regular title for years). Deadpool has also tangled with {{ComicBook/Bullseye|MarvelComics}} enough as a FriendlyEnemy that it's practically shared custody.
* The Crime Master and Jack O' Lantern were traditionally Spider-Man villains, but after [[{{ComicBook/Venom}} Agent Venom/Flash Thompson]] got his own book they made the jump with him and settled down as his archenemies.

* During Kaine's tenure as the ComicBook/ScarletSpider, he seems to have inherited the Jackal, the Lobo siblings, Shathra, Kraven and Ana Kravinoff from his 'brother', Spidey (though the Jackal is his creator and therefore a long standing part of his story), the Hand from Daredevil, Belladonna Boudreaux and the Assassins Guild from ComicBook/{{Gambit}}, [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarnage Carnage]] from Spider-Man/Venom and evil MegaCorp Roxxon from Iron Man -- though for Roxxon, it's shared custody with Thor (and more recently the Hulk). Now, he's (reluctantly) one of the ComicBook/NewWarriors and as a result seems to have acquired the High Evolutionary and the Evolutionaries from the ComicBook/XMen.

* Madame Masque for most of her existence was an ComicBook/IronMan villain, but since the 2010s, she has become the ArchEnemy of [[Characters/HawkeyeKateBishop Kate Bishop]] (purely out of spite because Kate once knocked her out and [[MuggedForDisguise stole her costume]]). First Masque antagonized Kate in her solo arc in ''ComicBook/Hawkeye2012'', then again in ''ComicBook/Hawkeye2016'', and again in ''ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers2018''.

** ComicBook/{{Superman}} expy Hyperion gains Characters/DoctorDoom, the Hulk, the Beyonder, Annihilus and ComicBook/{{Ultron}}, with most of them positioned as pastiches of traditional Superman rogues (the Hulk as ComicBook/{{Bizarro}}, Mr. Beyonder as Mr. Mxyzptlk, General Annihilus as General Zod and Ultron as Metallo).

* ComicBook/DoctorDoom was created to be the main nemesis of the ComicBook/FantasticFour. While he still maintains that role to the present day, he has since become one of the overall Big Bads of the Marvel Universe and has fought pretty much every single Marvel hero. Most prevalent are his tussles with ComicBook/BlackPanther, which makes sense because Panther was originally introduced as a Fantastic Four ally and a GoodCounterpart to Doom in the first place. Doom is also known for his roles in classic ComicBook/IronMan stories and the graphic novel ''Triumph & Torment'' where he meets ComicBook/DoctorStrange. Even other villains are not safe from Doom. He will gladly co-op with the heroes if he feels it serves his interests (of course, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder once the interests are served...]]) This is so pronounced that it's even reflected in marketing. For instance, Creator/{{Hasbro}}'s "Titan Hero" action figure line usually references the installment each hero or villain comes from (''Film/IronMan3'', ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'', ''Film/ThorTheDarkWorld'', ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014'', etc.), but the packaging for the Doctor Doom figure contains no indication that he belongs to the Fantastic Four franchise. One of the most famous storylines with him as the BigBad was ''ComicBook/AvengersTheChildrensCrusade''. It involved many named characters such as the ComicBook/YoungAvengers, the ComicBook/{{Avengers}}, ComicBook/XMen, and even [[ComicBook/XFactor2006 X-Factor]] -- yet the first family themselves were no shows.

* ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn2021'' has multiple instances of this, as it revolves around a world where the ComicBook/SquadronSupreme have supplanted the Avengers as Earth's premier superhero team.

* Madame Masque for most of her existence was an ComicBook/IronMan villain, but since the 2010s, she has become the ArchEnemy of ComicBook/KateBishop (purely out of spite because Kate once knocked her out and [[MuggedForDisguise stole her costume]]). First Masque antagonized Kate in her solo arc in ''ComicBook/Hawkeye2012'', then again in ''ComicBook/Hawkeye2016'' and again in ''ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers2018''.

* Madame Masque for most of her existence was an ComicBook/IronMan villain, but since the 2010s, she has become the ArchEnemy of ComicBook/KateBishop (purely out of spite because Kate once knocked her out and [[MuggedForDisguise stole her costume]]). First Masque antagonized Kate in her solo arc in Creator/MattFraction's ''ComicBook/{{Hawkeye}}'' run, then again in ''ComicBook/HawkeyeKateBishop'' and again in ''ComicBook/WestCoastAvengers2018''.

* Other Spidey villains have been known to torment Daredevil from time to time, and vice-versa; the guys practically live next door to each other, so there's a ton of overlap (the Beetle being certainly the most recurring after Kingpin). Inverted with ComicBook/{{Mysterio}} who seems to have not so much transferred to Daredevil's gallery as branched out, via ''ComicBook/GuardianDevil'', a story that saw Mysterio killed off for a time after trying to break Daredevil (copying what happened in ''ComicBook/BornAgain'', only this time it got Daredevil's love interest Karen Page killed), becoming an enemy of both of them. Then he ended up [[ComicBook/SpiderMen switching to Spider-Men]]. Electro was prominently considered part of both Spider-Man and Daredevil's galleries at the same time during their early years.[[note]]He actually didn't show up that often at the time, but when he did, he alternated between them.[[/note]] Case in point: The first ''Amazing Spider-Man'' annual had various supervillains Spidey had defeated before gang up, as the Sinister Six, in order to have their revenge on him. When ''Daredevil'' got an annual, too, we saw Electro forming the Emissaries of Evil [[RecycledScript consisting of villains who wanted revenge]] on DD. He later went on to fight a larger variety of heroes before ultimately becoming associated with Spider-Man again, though he is well known for being hired to cause a breakout at the Raft that formed the ComicBook/NewAvengers.
