How would you work Villainy Inc. into the DCEU?

[I'm a Fish]

This started in the Wonder Woman-Rouges Gallery thread but I though it was an interesting enough topic to continue on in it's own thread.

Basically, going off of what was given to us in the movies, how would you work Villainy Inc. into the DCEU as a potential villain team for an imagined Wonder Woman movie? (A hypothetical "Wonder Woman 4" if you will, since I assume they won't be in the 3rd movie.)


I had said this on the other thread but I would have 4 members, Dr. Poison, Cheetah, Giganta and Dr. Cyber.

-Poison and Cheetah because they have already been introduced previously and would save screen time on introductions and origins.

-Giganta because she could easily be a merch for hire and doesn't have to be complicated to work.

-Dr. Cyber because it would just be cool to have Wonder Woman fight a techno villain.

I'd keep it to 4 members because I think any more than that would be too much for a movie.

Edit: In more detail, I would like Dr. Poison to assemble the team, since she's the only one who doesn't pose a physical threat to Diana. I think it would also be interesting if she helped to give Giganta her powers with her concoctions, like how she gave Ludendorff powers in the first movie. Dr. Poison could also be the introduction to Dr. Cyber, perhaps working with Dr. Cyber to discover new ways of creating even stronger poisons. I could honestly see Cheetah being initiated later on in the film, since I don't think Cheetah is someone who is easy to contact or would even think of working with a team right away.

What would your Villainy Inc. team be? It doesn't have to be characters who have already appeared in the DCEU, and there is no limit to the number of members, so go wild! Which villainesses do you want to see Wonder Woman fight on the big screen?

I would use roughly the same characters and call it Godwatch not Villainy Inc.

I would make the same decision as you. For a movie, I would have Giganta be a mercenary - like in Justice - and have it so that her powers are the result of Dr. Poison's "Project Echidna" program. Dr. Poison is looking to transform ordinary humans into monsters and Giganta is the first prototype - hence why she only got powers and is not a full-blown monster. I would race-bend her with Eiza Gonzalez.

Dr. Cyber would be Charlize Theron.

In a perfect world, Anjelina Jolie would also be cast in this movie as an antagonist - maybe a Paula Von Gunther who Dr. Poison turns into Genocide.

Everyone wants Charlize Theron to be a Wonder Woman villain...but I'm not one to talk cuz so do I, LOL!

I could see Cheetah being cut out and replaced with Genocide. DCEU Cheetah would honestly be the hardest to fit in, since working with a team would benefit her the least out of the 4 of them. Unless this movie had the plot of adding more Wonder Women (Donna, Cassie, Nubia ect.) Cheetah would probably figure she doesn't need a team, unless the villain plot had another element besides taking down Wonder Woman, (like perhaps acquiring objects of power?).

The villains plot could really just be Cyber and Poison wanting to build the ultimate weapon or "Ultimate Wonder Woman" and hiring Giganta as a bodyguard while they create Genocide.

I'm not too sure she's keen on the franchise. She was offered Wonder Woman and was aghast when she learned the role they wanted to her to play was Wonder Woman's mother. She said she knew then her career had changed and Hollywood saw her as an older actress.

[I'm a Fish]

Hmm, well, being offered the roll of a fem-fatal is probably something she'd be more inclined to say "yes" too.

[Fuzzy Mittens]

Gee. I feel like trying for Villainy Inc in a movie might be a little to ambitious....
But if I was to make the attempt...

Id pull an Ares Buchanan situation to bring back the god of war.
Perhaps with Circe being responsible depending on how Wonder Woman 3 sets things up.
Rather than Doctor Poison I see her grandaughter making an appearance. Motivated to do what her grandmother failed to accomplish.
Cheetah would pop up, lured by the promise of power, and turned once more into the Cheetah though by Circe this time.

And while they wouldn't have speaking roles, id toss in a few monsters created by Circe into the mix. No dialogue or contribution beyond something to punch, but it would fill out the roster without splitting up scene time to much.
Specifically...Monsterfied takes on a gorilla, a swan, a centipede, and a Raven

For the DCEU I'll go a bit comedic with Blue Snowman starting a business called Villain Inc. that helps low level villains connect with each other but then WW stops one of them and they all decide to team together against her and a surprise villain taking over the business (though it might just sound like Wonder Woman's version of the Rogues). I'll stick Cheetah with the Legion of Doom

Members: Blue Snowman, Angle Man, Giganta, Kung, Dr. Poison, and Max Lord

Veronica Kale would be the controlling everything from the dark, we’d have Dr. Cyber, Kale’s lover who was killed in a battle that happened between WW and some catastrophe, placed into a synthetic form. She’d be super strong, durable, cyberpathic, and a host of other abilities. A new Dr. Poison, a scientist who’s entire body is a synthetic poison. Her fingernails, her spit, her skin is coated in it. Giganta using my archaeology origin for her. Finally Blue Snowman now going by Avalanche, created technology that manipulates moisture, and freezes, it. It blew up, and gave them the ability to do so.

I would use roughly the same characters and call it Godwatch not Villainy Inc.

Maybe 'God Killer' instead of Godwatch? Since I don't think their goal is to just stare at WW.

Well, they do "watch" her, using surveillance and spies. I'm speaking primarily of Rucka's first run where Kale had a whole team of people to run anti-wondy propaganda to fuel a hate campaign.

To get into more specifics, my "Godwatch" would consist of roughly 5 villains but also act as a revolving door for other villains.

Veronica Kale - leader/organizer

Dr. Cyber - second in command/cybernetics specialist

Giganta - hired muscle/genetic specialist

Blue Snowman - cryogenics specialist

Dr. Poison - poison specialist/leader of a small mercenary group

With Cheetah, Gundra, and Clea working with them every now and again.
