Rogues Gallery / Comic Strips

• Parodied in Calvin and Hobbes with Calvin's alter-ego Stupendous Man when Calvin imagines many of the people he knows as his supervillainous enemies. Susie becomes "Annoying Girl", Miss Wormwood becomes the "Crab Teacher", Rosalyn becomes "Baby-Sitter Girl", and Calvin's Mom becomes Stupendous Man's Arch-Enemy, "Mom-Lady". You may have noticed that all these enemies "happen" to be women, which suggests that Stupendous Man might be a Politically Incorrect Hero; in any case, Calvin is a confirmed hater of all females.
  • Hobbes, on the other hand...
    Hobbes: I almost told [Susie] our code when she rubbed my tummy.
    Calvin: Good gravy, whose side are you on?!
• Dick Tracy could be considered a Trope Maker, as he had his own Rogues Gallery (Big Boy, Pruneface, Flattop, Mumbles, etc.) decades before many of the others, though Dick tended to off his foes after one or two appearances.
• Flash Gordon has his own gallery, most being natives of the planet Mongo but also a few based on Earth. His list of foes includes Ming the Merciless, Azura the Witch Queen, the Red Sword organization, Kang the Cruel (Ming's son), Prince Polon, Queen Rubia, Pyron the Comet Master, and Baron Dak-Tula.
• The Phantom, as a series and franchise that's over 80 years old by this point, has a rather sizable list of foes across various media. In the newspaper strips and the comic books his foes consist of the Singh Brotherhood^note a band of pirates whose ancestor murdered the first Phantom's father, and which has been led by several different members over the years, Eric "The Nomad" Sahara, Chatu "the Python," Skul and his terrorist organization T, Goldhand, the Drummer of Timpenni, the Sky Band, Kigali Lubanga and his father Bawuko, the Iron Hand, General Tara and his right-hand man Major Isaru, the Black Carnation, Bullets, Ali Gutaale, General Bababu, the High Priest of Kua, the Khagan of Avaria, and Manuel Ortega.
  • In the Phantom 2040 spin-off series, the 24th Phantom gets his own gallery in Rebecca Madison, Max Madison Jr., Graft, Gorda, Gunnar the Hunter (who appears for only one episode), Queen Nia (who appears for two), Sean One, and to a lesser degree Doctor Jak and Vaingloria.
• Mandrake the Magician, the Phantom's fellow King Features creation and frequent in-universe ally, has a smaller rogues gallery, but it's by no means any less dangerous. It consists of Luciphor "the Cobra", Derek, Aleena, the Mole, Octon and the crime syndicate 8, Clay Camel and his daughter Brass Monkey, Ekardnam, the Deleter, and Reboot.
• Popeye has a rather oddball list of enemies across the various media where he has appeared (to include both the comic strips, cartoon shorts, and the live-action movie), including the Sea Hag, Bluto and his expy Brutus and twin brother Burlo, Patcheye the Pirate, Bullo Oxheart and his mother Mrs. Oxheart, Mr. No-No, Bolo, Willie Wormwood, Rokh, the Martians (including their champion, Jetoe), various sea monsters (which, considering Popeye's a sailor, makes some sense), and numerous bulls (yes, really).
• A comic strip in the Philippines, entitled Pugad Baboy (translated: Pig's Nest), about a town of fat Filipinos features several long-story adventure arcs with its protagonist talking dog, Polgas (translated: "Flea"). Polgas has amassed a bit of a Rogues Gallery with recurring villains such as Atong Damuho, Col. Manyakis, and Sendong Langib.

• Slylock Fox has a list of villains who he always has to outwit in every strip. His Rogues Gallery consists of Count Weirdly, Wanda Witch, Slick Smitty, Reeky Rat, Shady Shrew, Cassandra Cat, Harry Ape, Koppy Kat, Big Brad Wolf, and Buford Bull.
