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)
3Godzilla
(EXAMPLE: King Ghidorah, Mothra, Rodan, Destoroyah, Hedorah, Gigan)
There’s something truly unique about the monsters in the Godzilla franchise. Most of them are truly antagonist to the “King of Monsters,” but have their solo films. Things got even better in 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, the film in which the titular monster fought his entire rogues’ gallery! Not many other heroes from this list can say the same.
