Rogues' gallery

Rogues gallery is a term in comics referring to a specific hero or superhero's reoccuring and most notable enemies, as opposed to nameless thugs and mooks.

Contenders for being in a Rogues Gallery usually require some degree of obession or at least a general overarching method and theme to their villiany, particularly mirroring the hero (a colorful costume, quirky personality, unusual weaponry, superpowers, etc.). Rogues do not necessarily have to have superpowers, and are usually at a rough 'power level' equal or near the title hero.

Heroes who have particularly well known rogues galleries include:

• Batman, see Enemies of Batman.
• The Flash, see Enemies of the Flash
• Spider-Man
• Superman
• Dick Tracy (typically one-shots)
