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)
4Spider-Man
(EXAMPLE: Green Goblin, Venom, Doctor Octopus, Vulture, Mysterio, Kingpin)
Lists of rogues galleries always include this lineup of baddies. Since Spider-Man is such a powerful hero, his villains are just as powerful. Some of them even came together to form “The Sinister Six,” a collection of rogues hellbent on killing Spider-Man. Think of it like the Suicide Squad, but with League of Doom aspirations.
