DC: 10 Marvel: 16 DC or Marvel by licensing rights, but not initially intended to occur within those universes: 7 Other publishers: 11 One more question I forgot to ask: what constitutes a "super-villain"? For example, if I wanted to pick the Post-Crisis Lex Luthor and Joker, are either "super-villains" since neither possess any super powers nor utilize any super technology to aid them? The Penguin, Two-Face, Riddler, The Toyman, Captain Boomerang, etc? "Any pairing of two or more nefarious nogoodniks, superpowered or not, costumed or not, in one or more stories..." |

As an English teacher, you'd think I'd be a more careful reader by this point. |

I'm not sure whether to question my writing skills or my fellow posters' reading skills.
Cei-U! I summon the failure to communicate!

DC: 10 Marvel: 16 DC or Marvel by licensing rights, but not initially intended to occur within those universes: 7 Other publishers: 11 I'm impressed with 11 other publishers. I have 3 other publishers, but it's leaning hard into Marvel and DC; I'm counting all the imprints of the Big 2 as part of the Big 2 (in which I have 4) And I'm trying not to use the obvious ones that I know I'll see on a lot of people's lists. Trying to showcase some fun, obscure and just neat baddies. I can't wait to see everyone's choices! |

This is an absolutely awesome theme, lots are coming to mind including plenty of obscure ones, now to get my list in order! Likewise looking forward to seeing everyone else's choices...got a feeling this is going to be pretty epic  |

One of my choices originated in a cartoon, but have appeared in many, many comics since. I do read the rules carefully - and just re-read them - but would they be eligible.

Your entries do not have to have originated in comic books, but you can only consider their comic book appearances in evaluating your selections.
Cei-U! I summon the clear mud!

Can a team of antagonists who turn out to be heroes after a few issues count?
Asking for a friend, eh?

This is fun. I have a list. Now comes the time to “deliberate” and work out who stays and who goes - and who warrants the top spot. Hmmm…

This is a tough one for me.. I'm more a fan of big uber villains, or organizations like AIM, but I'll see what I can come up with.

yeah, this one will definitely take some digging for me. Nothing obvious is jumping out at me so far but maybe I'll think of something before it's too late. I have a couple ideas, but I'll have to refresh my memory to see if I can conscientiously call them favourites.
