Spider-Man.

This. Why do some people consider his rogues gallery to be weak?

Spider-Man, followed by Flash.

Honorable Mention: X-Men.

Aquaman's rogues are pretty underrated. Scavenger, Black Manta, Ocean Master, Deep Blue, Hila.

When do you think we are going to see Deep Blue and Hila again?

Fantastic four

>>84256935
I find Batman's to be overrated honestly, but each has their own taste.
As for best villain roster, that definitely goes to The Flash.
>>
>>84256935

Superman
>>
>>84258195
Definitely underrated, as a lot of their villains end up graduating to bigger things. Galactus, Doom, IIRC the Kree and Skrulls, Annihilus, etc all started with the FF

They honestly are. Many of them feel like one-shots. But they always get into other medias, where the fact that you can really do like 3 stories with Ivy is actually helpful.

1. Batman
2. Spider-Man
3. Flash
4. Fantastic Four

Significant drop after that. Then you start to get the ones who have one or a few good villains.

Alright, and what major hero has the WORST primary villain?

Finally. He's got such great ones. Brainiac, Metallo, Parasite. I like a lot of them. Mxyzptlk is great too, but I don't think he counts.

Wonder Woman?

Spider Man & X-Men.

Because Vulture, Sandman, Hydro Man, Shocker, and fucking Stilt man

He didn't get great villains until the Symbiotes

Superman's is too top-heavy. Luthor overshadows everything -- he's practically a supporting character instead of a villain.

I'd move X-men up to A-Tier

Mojo, Sauron, Sentinels/Master Mold, Mr. Sinister, Magneto, Nimrod, Blob, Juggernaut, Apocalypse, The Brood, Arcade, Mystique, Shadow King

And the most devious dastardly rogue of all: Man.
>>
>>84260925

I still consider Darkseid a Superman villain but that's only because I'm a 90's baby and my first exposure was during the animated series.

You are right. The problem is Lex, Darkseid, Doomsday and even Bizzaro take up way too much of the spotlight.

I would really like it if Gleason's Superman run gave some exposure to some of the lesser used Rogues, but I know that's not going to happen. They will just invent another villain before they use any of the older ones.
>>
>>84260861
As a Superman fan, he doesn't have a lot of good villains. Luthor is GOAT and Mr Mxy and Bizarro are great characters as well. Phantom zone villains have been utilised well in the past and in modern times too. Doomsday is shit, Parasite was good in STAS but otherwise he's just bland. Metallo and Titano are just okay. Mongul hasn't been relevant since to Superman mythos since long. Darkseid isn't a Superman villain.

Superman isn't a character who's stories have been dependent on the villain. Mostly villains just act as obstacles. Most of his classic stories(silver age, bronze age and ones inspired by it) have been about Superman and friends having an adventure.

The guy definitely has a lot more than most heroes, to say the least. People just keep focusing on Lex, Brainiac and Bizarro.
>>
>>84261039
>People who say X-men have good villains

What the fuck,there's Magneto and who else? His Brotherhood is filled with Mystique and the most bland D-listers. The Sentinels are cannon fodder. Apocalypse is the epitome of generic. The various anti-mutant hate groups fail to stand out.

That's why X-men's stories focus on inner team drama more so than villains
>>
>>84261457
their only memorable were Mandarin and Count Vertigo. Jeez they don't have anything but them.
>>
>>84261548
Whiplash
>>
>>84261498
However fun they were in the animated series, Livewire and Parasite are meh in comics, anon. Modern Metallo is just a one shot and even he isn't that great. Superman's rogue gallery falls off after the first four or five.
>>
Zatanna
God I hope they get their asses moving on a Rebirth for her or heavily involved her in Hellblazer, I'm kinda miffed at them not resolving Brother NIght escaping from prison so epically. I know Night is pretty much just Black Mask.
>>
>>84261647 shit I didn't mean to post yet

...black mask mixed with some Joker using magic instead of poison or money but he was a fucking awesome badguy
>>
>>84261647
Zatanna's all potential, she would make a great addition to the core 7 Justice Leaguers and deserves an ongoing. It's upsetting to see a watered down version of Constantine steal the spotlight from a deserving Zatanna. Everybody loses in this scenario
>>
>>84261633
maybe we can count him too. Though I coldn't imagine him like Mandarin when I saw Iron Man. Still you are right.
>>
>>84256935
Batman, Flash and Spiderman have the best Rogues.
>>
>>84261722
He is a little lighter now, I know what you mean. I'm catching up on the old run and even though I'm still in 88 I see what you mean already. It's like they took things that work for Zatanna and transferred them over to him, like the whole "I date Normie's because I get them killed" trope. It kind of works, I like him being bi(hope they don't turn him male preference though, that would be too much, 50/50 is perfectly relatable coming from a female preferencing bi male) but it's really not an aspect they should focus heavily on for him.
>>
>>84261498

Having three good villians is better than what 95% of heroes have

Flash's rogues are in their own category above all the rest

FF villains go on to be Marvel Universe villains and thus people don't think of them as FF villains anymore. FF villains are definitely top shelf rogues.

Agreed, all because Kirby/Lee's initial run really fleshed out the Marvel Universe

I really can't buy any of those are "good" villains except for maybe Mister Sinister, who has had maybe one good story

Doesn't flash always comment on how he's stuck with Batman's rejects?

I liked a Space Fucker arc or two. I do see your point though, since I can't think of what to call them right now and they blend in with the Kree and all the other fucks in space.

The Sentinels seem to bounce between dangerous and garbage, I agree. Mojo's had some entertaining stuff. I've never liked Apocolips. I still love the Juggernaut, though.

Really, X-Men have rogues that fit into two categories:

1. Good in theory
2. Better in someone else's book.
>>
>>84262049
Zsasz was always a Batman villain to my knowledge, and I've never read Flash say that.

Then you got Wolverine rogues like Lady Deathstrike, Sabretooth, Omega Red, Daken, Silver Samurai

I usually count them under X-Men rogues.

Also I dont know about the new shit, but in my opinion G tier - Deadpool. Only because T-Ray passes on all his excess crappiness to Ajax and Mary.

Then you should read more Flash comics.

His villains are extremely well-executed and are genuinely as complex as Batman villains at times, especiall Captain Cold, Reverse Flash and Gorilla Grodd.

I wouldn't say Grodd is all that complex, well executed yes but not terribly complex. But I agree with Reverse Flash and Cold. There's also Heat Wave, Mirror Master II, Pied Piper (not really a villain anymore) and even Rainbow Raider when you look beyond his silliness and absurdity.
>>
>>84262258

Flash's rogues gallery gets props for turning a bunch of cheesy relics from the silver age into one of the most closely knit, efficient and realistic groups of comic book super villains in cape comics.

All 3 A-Tier rogue galleries are seriously underrated. I know they're "A" already but that's how goddamn good they are. Doom, Luthor, Galactus, Magneto, Brainiac, those are some SS-class hitters right there yet you have them under a bunch of animal themed guys and Captain Cold.

Spider-Man's rogues gallery is pretty important though. In the same way that FF's villains would go on to be all-purpose cosmic threats, Spidey's went on to be all-purpose street level threats.
>>
>>84262589

No one's denying that those guys are all good, but the difference between SS/S tier and A tier is that the SS/S tiers have strong main villains with good villains across the board while the A tier has strong main villains with middling villains across the board.

Flash's rogues are basically Batman's rogues if they were campier and much more well-organised/efficient.

>>
>>84263050
Not even close. Very few Flash rogues have henchmen. Grodd has his army but that's really it.
>>
>>84263050
The campiness ties into their theme though. The Rogues don't want to bait out the full powers of the Flash and they know that if they seriously hurt the Flash someone like Superman is going to be on them in an hour.

So they wear pyjamas, call themselves things like Captain Boomerang and engage the Flash in a cat and mouse rather than life and death struggle.

It keeps the books fun and comfy, gives a realistic reason for why Flash doesn't just vibrate through them and allows guys like Thawne to sit on a tier above.

Fuck I love Flash's rogues.

Justice League International had some fun villains.

X-Men, then FF, and Spidey

>>84261524

Dark Phoenix, the Brood, Freedom Force, the Hellfire Club, Selene, Mastermind, Nimrod, the Shadow King, Proteus, Cassandra Nova, the Marauders, the Reavers, Sauron, Mojo, Spiral, the U-Men, Wendigo, Maddy Pryor, S'ym...
>>
>>84261979
Sabertooth, Omega Red, Silver Samurai, Fucking Phoenix, White Queen, Onslaught, and basically every important mutant was villain at some point (Wolverine, Storm, Gambit, Cable, Magneto, Scarlet Witch, Jean Grey, Xavier...)
>>
>>84263550
It's not about naming off as many as you can, it's about determining how many are of actual quality
>>
>>84263589
Quality is subjective and based on opinion.

When ya'll say X-Men villains, do you mean any mutant NOT on the team?
>>
>>84263660
Sure, but in this case we can look at where majority opinions overlap.
>>
>>84256935
The Tick, no questioin.
Chairface Chippendale, the Ottoman Empire, Stalingrad, Dinosaur Neil (not exactly a villain), Evil Santa, the Aztec-Itlan, Bad Brain, Barry, The Deadly Bulb (aka Pigleg), The Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs At Midnight, the list just goes on and on.

He has a much more colorful supporting cast than Bats, too. The Carpeted Man, Mister Exciting, The Indigestible Man, Dinosaur Neil, Sewer Urchin, Die Fliedermaus, American Maid (and her associates French Maid and Maiden China), Speak The Dog, Uncle Creamy, The Swiss Army, Sarcastro, and of course Arthur.
>>
>>84263589
All of this are good IMO
>>84263573

But the good thing about X-Men storylines is that doesn't exist a right and wrong, black or white, but intead a giant gray area, anyone can say a villain actually is a good guy (inb4 Magneto did nothing wrong)
>>
>>84262115
I can agree with this up until that pesky "Batman has the single best gallery ever" garbage.

The Joker is one of the few Batman villains that are recognizable and still respectable. I mean, the rest of his well known villains are:
I make puns and riddles! Tee hee!
<insert generic ice villain here>
*tips tophat* m'batman
...someone tell me I'm a big guy lol

Sure, he has Scarecrow and Poison Ivy, but Scarecrow is only really recognizable if you read Batman or played those arkham games, and Ivy is the same as Freeze but with plants.

And don't even bring up Harley, because she's barely even a villain anymore, her only real depth as a character is "mistah jay used tah beat me." The rest of the time she's just being a scene autist. Hell, she managed to make Power Girl into a more interesting character by comparison in their run together.

Bullseye, Barracuda, Nick Cavella (inb4 aunt memes), Ma Gnucci, Russian, The Vigilante Squad and some based mobs from early 90's that I can retell all of them. One of them had a machine gun replaced for his arm. Hell I think I speedruned all of this stuff. Have to re-read sometime.

He kills his enemies. But it doesn't mean he has no based rogue gallery. Everyone but Kingpin is dead in that list in 616 now but it doesn't change the fact.

All of those are quality villains. If I just wanted to ramble off as many X-men villains as I could, I could've name Unis, the Vanisher, Zaladane, Garokk, the Savage Land Mutates, Stryfe and the MLF, Computo, the Cobalt man, El Tigre, the Locust, the Upstarts, the Dark Riders, Cameron Hodge, the Press Gang, the Living Monolith, Nanny and Orphan Maker, the Z'Nox, Ahab...

There's a number of problems with your outburst friendo

>People have been making Baneposting into a meme for years
>I love baneposting
>People have been calling anything that annoys them a "meme" for at least a year now, because it was happening when /sug/ was around earlier last year

That he was. Shame Dini got distracted and we got nothing but Sturges on filler for the last 1/3 of her solo.

I didnt know until i found out hes getting a rebirth so looked at the New52 stuff to catch up, im kinda happy about this because now i relate to him even more. Not that i ever bitched about lack of representation, it actually never really occurred to me.

Superman's rogues are underrated as fuck.

Lex Luthor is himself is one of the best villains in all of capeshit.

And then you have Brainiac, Bizarro, Mxyzptlk, as well as Zod and the other evil Kryptonians.

Superman has a pretty good rogues gallery.

Bumping because this thread be kick ass.
Pic related needs a rebirth title because she has a fucking sick roster of rogues. Or even if she got a decent amount of page time in Constantine Rebirth. I think a issue of Swamp Thing and Brother Night beating the shit out of eachother would rock.

As a lot of people have pointed out, the only ones really worth mentioning are Flash, Spidey and Batman. I'd struggle to say which is the best between Spider-Man and Batman, but Flash is in a clear third place. That's not me saying he has a bad rogues gallery, it's great but it's not as large or interesting as the other two.

It's also a subjective and small complaint, but I hate the costumes of the vast majority of Flash villains. I know everyone likes Cold here but I hate his costume, especially his iconic glasses. I just think it looks so dumb.

This, thank you.
It doesn't matter if his thing is making ice and snow, its a stupid accessory. you dont risk going snowblind under normal circumstances in friggen centeal city.

Serious Q, how is the Flash's rouges gallery better than Superman's, X-Men's, or Fantastic Four's? I can honestly only name 5 Flash villains and that's including Johnny Quick.

>>84263813
If recognition is the basis for a good Rogue's gallery, Flash wouldn't even be considered.

You know who I like for villains? The Dominators. We need more Dominators in DC comics, and Khunds, and Daxomites and more non Lantern related space in general. Fuck we need an Invasion Rebirth, that will fix the new52 bullshit what good.
What I'm getting at is Bring back L.E.G.I.O.N. because Brainiac 2 is best Brainiac.

Seriously terrifying heavy-hitters like Deathmonger and Willy Pete, plenty of memorable villains at her own level, and some hilariously absurd lightweights.

Great rogue's gallery is great.

Man i tried to like Marvel these past few years so hard. All I can give them is Gaurdians of the Galaxy and Deadpool, and these days in the comics Deadpool is in the shitter. I tied to read it, hes my favorite super hero ever and helped me get through a bad mental health bout dealing with some existential bullshit(pic related) and i try reading post secret wars and... hes a fucking millionaire and not at all mentally unbalanced fuck me in the face. At least the Groot Mini was nice.
Marvel is now the New New52. I think DC intentially fucked things up so Marvel would follow suit like always just so they could fix it with rebirth right when Marvel made it's move. The classic bait and switch.

DC just realized that they are in #2 to stay, and might have a better chance at picking up new fans with retreads of 30 year old comics.

The last 5 years of DC has deserved all the apologizing Johns has been doing for it.

I didn't say that recognition alone is what makes a great rogue's gallery, but you can't really call something great if most people can't even tell what comic the villains are from. Like I said, the Joker is the only really GOAT villain Batman has, because the rest just aren't really memorable.
