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)
6. James 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’.
