I am sure there are lots more. Oh, and Hulk (not a villain, obviously) as well.
    Red & blue are primary colors used a lot for heroes (Superman, Spider-Man, Captain America, even Batman wore blue once). Giving the villains the secondary colors of green and purple helped the villains stand out more and contrasted them visually with the hero.

    Thanks a lot!

    Why did Giganta have those spots? Is that leopard print? That has never made sense to me in regard to Giganta's powerset or backstory (unless I am missing some aspect of her story).

    Originally, Giganta was a gorilla who came from the jungle.

    I think it's supposed to be giraffe spots.

    Although they're his colors too, when I see purple and green I think of Catwoman.

    To make Circe look like Post-Crisis Circe, her red eyes are as important as her purple hair.

    Yeah it's giraffe print to add jungle flair, it also helps that they're the tallest mammals.

    I’m sorry guys… I like Grail now.



    I’m a simple mark for villains gleefully talking **** to their heroes. Always gets me excited for the fight.

    It's funny how Grail and Diana fought for a whole hour strait and none of the other villains woke up to help her out.

    Shazam thought he was slick until Giganta one-shot him (and apparently killed Blockbuster in the process?).

    Our giant gal is having such a great week.
