I am amused that some of my favorite villains are either Flash rogues, or were Firestorm villains! Although I do also love those 'theme teams' that would fight the Outsiders, like Maxie Zeus and his New Olympians, the Masters of Disaster, People's Heroes, Strikeforce Kobra and the Force of July. (some of whom might not have thought of themselves as villains...)

And hey, thinking of these villains, some from the old Secret Society of Super-Villains, reminded me that I forgot Captain Comet on my 'favorite heroes' list! Ugh!

[Sutekh]

The Wonder Twins
Naomi
Princess Projectra
Raven
Black Canary
Jinny Hex
Zatanna
Green Arrow
Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)
Batgirl

The Wonder Twins are a fun pair, but I'm also fond of not just Princess Projectra, but her relaunch as Sensor Girl. I've always had a soft spot for heroes who have one power from a set, like Laurel Kent (only invulnerable) or even one power at a time (like Ultra Boy), and Sensor Girl, having 'just the sensory powers' of Superboy (before we later learned that she was also an illusionist!) was a neat concept. I like the idea of someone with super-senses, or, in her case, super-sense-*manipulation,* as a character, along with other super-vision based characters like Visi-Lad.
