    Default DC Superheroes Ranked By Rogues Gallery


    What are the top 10 DC characters ranked by their rogues? I’m not including teams as that would be different and an entirely different thread in general. Just rank solo/duo heroes by their rogues and let me know which arch rivalries are your favorites!

    For me, the first 5 heroes are easiest to list as they have the deepest rogues gallery, 6 & 7 have a couple great villains in an otherwise decent rogues gallery, while 8-10 were harder to list due to many heroes having only 1 or 2 memorable villains. Heck many iconic DC characters don’t even have one and many others just leech off another heroes villains (ie all of the sidekicks).

    1) Batman
    2) The Flash
    3) Superman
    4) Wonder Woman
    5) Green Lantern
    6) Shazam
    7) Aquaman
    8) Blue Beetle
    9) Firestorm
    10) Green Arrow

    Honorable Mention: The Hawks and Black Lightning

    I’ll explain my choices later, but that’s my list for now...

    I wanted to pick Batman vs the Joker, but the Joker has been so overused in DC, I've gotten sick of him.

    Anybody else have an opinion on this? Rank the heroes based on their rogues gallery

    DC Superheroes Ranked By Rogues Gallery
    Thread title specifically refers to ranking the group.

    Then the thread description disallows it.
    LOL!

    Favorite single counterpart villains are essentially the classics, there is a reason they work, they reveal both the greatest assets and simultaneously greatest weakens of the hero:

    -Batman's Dark Justice and order "I shall become what I fear most a dark symbol of fear against chaos (the thing that robbed me of my parents) and thus own it. - challenged by white faced grinning Joker Clown Prince of senseless, free open and unabashed Chaos the one thing doesn't fear him, but feeds off him.

    -Superman's Idealized Alien/God - challenged by Luthor; humanities self-made "best" taken to it's twisted extreme. ... Everything you are, and are loved for, symbolizes the weakness in humanity that makes me necessary for humanity to not become subservient, dependent on or need you.

    -Wonder Woman's spirit of truth and love - challenged by Ares (God Of War)if I use your weapon to bring it about, what have I achieved - Hence defensive bracelets and binding lasso of truth become the antithesis "weapons" (concept completley lost to modern audience).

    -Green Lanterns Honest Fearless free-will (power of choice) to go where others would turn back, fuels the ring- challenged by Sinestro oppressive rule by fear and control (becoming slave to fear as the opposite of (choice) free will. All symbolically nicely color coded in the power rings, that can create anything but an actual shield against fear. So where does that come from or look like. = Will Power.

    -Flash hopeful idealized; with these powers I can be anywhere any time to save everyone - challenged by Zoom's exponential awareness that the more you can be and effect everything only serves to reveal the fact (awareness/curse) of- the more you can't change and effect becoming infinite, never enough, and thus the fastest is condemned to still always be [to] late).
