Despite her age, Selina remains just as wily a thief as ever, orchestrating several successful heists with the help of her fellow rogues. Breaking into and escaping heavily guarded facilities ranging from S.T.A.R. Labs to Ace Chemicals, Selina even enacts the theft of a sample of Clayface's mud from Arkham Asylum, using Poison Ivy's powers to stage a cover for their presence and escaping by using a remote-controlled truck to lead away security, before evading the corrupt Mayor Dent's enforcers when they lay a trap. Though her quest is ultimately in vain, Selina is fully willing to sacrifice herself to prevent Batman's secrets from falling into Dent's hands, before provoking Dent's psychosis to escape his murderous wrath and continuing to plan more elaborate plots by training an apprentice in Edie Nygma.
6** Edward Nygma, having long since retired his wacky identity as the Riddler, has become a successful grifter and blackmailer with the help of his daughter Edie.

Notably, Nygma volunteers his knowledge of abandoned underground rails as a getaway for their heist from Arkham Asylum, and later figures out the location of the Helmet of Fate in order to steal and gift it to Jason Blood in return for his assistance. In the climax, Nygma proves to be Selina's ultimate saving grace, deducing the entrance to the Batcave to save her life before joining her crew for good to plan future schemes.
7* ''ComicBook/Marvel2099'' (Earth-928):
8** [[Characters/MarvelComicsDoctorDoom Doctor Doom]] himself, displaced into a dystopian future, immediately claws his way back to dominance and transforms himself from a cruel tyrant into the bombastically brilliant, [[AntiHero yet no less megalomaniacal]], [[BigGood savior of the world]]. In no short order, Doom outwits and slays Latveria's new dictator; usurps complete control over Cyberspace, before directing an A.I. against an antagonistic corporation when she takes his powers; and steals Alchemax's floating city from under the noses of 2099's other heroes, which he then uses to take over another nation before cornering and destroying an imposter and his own former partner. Not content with this unstoppable rise to power, Doom resolves to save the world from the ruthless grip of mega-corps, orchestrating a brutally swift conquest of the United States in which he [[GoodIsNotSoft viciously]] restores free speech, equal rights, and environmental health while empowering numerous heroes to enact justice unmitigated. Though quickly ousted by the monstrous John Herod, Doom strikes back from the shadows to wipe out Herod's entire power base, leaving Herod himself in eternal pain before he travels back in time to undo the genocide of Latveria. Even when confronted by a Phalanx invasion upon his return, Doom reveals he had already been planning for them, using them to restore Latveria's broken land before sabotaging the invasion. Despite his unquenchable lust for power and control, Doom grows to truly care for others and proves willing to do anything to safeguard his people, ultimately sacrificing himself to save the world while entrusting his allies with leading the way to peace and prosperity for all.
9** ''Ravage 2099'': [[TheStarscream Sophia Striker]], once the first lady to President Graeme Stryker, became known as "Seeress" after corporations ruined the entire planet. The Seeress became TheDragon to Dethstryk--the new Graeme--and, secretly loathing what her husband had become, plotted for decades to undermine him. After a number of failed uprisings she attempted by convincing would-be Mutroud rebels to attempt coups, the Seeress eventually turned to manipulating Ravage, trying to use him as a pawn in her attempts to thwart Dethstryk. In spite of numerous setbacks, the Seeress is the one to screw Dethstryk over once and for all, installing a [[ThanatosGambit posthumous "death program"]] to depower Dethstryk, leaving him to the mercy of Ravage, and using her last moments to try and ensure peace between the humans and the Mutroids.
