Great Rogues Galleries Are Not Only For Superheroes
In comic books, the collective name for a group of villains is a rogues gallery. The term dates back 1855 when police would call a collection of criminal photos their rogues’ galleries. But this idea isn’t just for comics or police; so many movies and TVs contain a notable gang of baddies. Behind every great hero is a group of villains trying to kill them!
Below is a collection of the best rogues galleries in pop culture history.
Honorable Mentions:
Scooby Doo (Creeper, Ghost of Redbeard, Witch Doctor, Black Knight)
Darkwing Duck (NegaDuck, Beagle Boys, Fearsome Five, Magica De Spell)
Superman (Lex Luthor, Doomsday, Metallo, Zod, Brainiac)
8Universal Horror Franchise
(EXAMPLE: Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Gill-man, Imhotep, The Invisible Man)
Feels like cheating putting this franchise on the list as the villains are usually the stars. That doesn’t take away from the fact that these are the best collection of horror baddies until 80’s slashers. And if you want to see these monsters act like the other rogues’ galleries from this list, check out 1987’s Monster Squad.
