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)
6James Bond
(EXAMPLE: Blofeld, Goldfinger, Dr. No, Scaramanga, Oddjob, Jaws)
If James Bond didn’t have such an extensive rogues gallery, I’m sure the secret agent would be enjoying retirement martinis. While Blofeld is a mainstay throughout the franchise, there’s an assortment of great and not-so memorable bad guys. For every Goldfinger, there is plenty of Gustav Graves’.
