** Being a MegamixGame for the racing spin-offs, ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRacingNitroFueled'' features many of the same playable villains and boss characters, and adds a few that previously weren't in them for good measure: Neo Cortex, N. Gin, Dingodile, Tiny, Ripper Roo, Papu Papu, the Komodo Bros. (Joe by default and Moe as DLC), Pinstripe, N. Tropy, Penta the penguin, Nitrous Oxide, Zem, Zam, N. Trance, Krunk, Nash, the Norms, Geary, Emperor Velo, Nina Cortex, N. Brio, Koala Kong, Rilla Roo and Megamix.[[note]]Granted, it's hard to say whether Penta really ''is'' a villain or not.[[/note]]

** A ''Amazing Spider-Man'' issue featured a whole bunch of Spideys foes, old and new, hired by Doctor Octopus to kidnap Menace's child.

* The ''ComicBook/TheFlash'' storyline "Rogue War" featured a LegionOfDoom plot with two groups of Flash's Rogues coming together to fight each other, but also involved numerous other, unaligned Flash villains either taking advantage of the chaos or fighting both sides.

* A whole slew of pre-ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}} ComicBook/{{Batman}} villains turn up to fight Thomas Wayne in ''[[ComicBook/{{Convergence}} Convergence #3]]'' including Professor Pyg, Man Bat, Dr Hurt, Una Nemo, Mr. Zsasz, [[spoiler:the Joker]].

* The 200th issue CrisisCrossover storyline in ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'' in the mid-1980s has most of the book's recurring villains pressed into service by Guy Gardner as part of an EnemyMine attack on the Anti-Monitor, but ComicBook/{{Sinestro}} is also there to pursue his own agenda.

* ''Anime/BatmanNinja'' features ComicBook/TheJoker, ComicBook/HarleyQuinn, ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}, ComicBook/ThePenguin, ComicBook/PoisonIvy, ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}, ComicBook/{{Bane}}, and Gorilla Grodd duking it out [[MeleeATrois with the Dark Knight and each other]].

-->'''Joker:''' Your city is under attack by Gotham's greatest criminal minds, including... ComicBook/TheRiddler! [[ComicBook/TheScarecrow Scarecrow]]! ComicBook/{{Bane}}! ComicBook/TwoFace! ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}! [[OverlyLongGag And let's not forget]] Clayface, ComicBook/PoisonIvy, Mr. Freeze, [[ComicBook/ThePenguin Penguin]], Crazy Quilt, Eraser, Polka-Dot Man, Mime, Tarantula, King Tut, Orca, Killer Moth, March Harriet, Zodiac Master, Gentleman Ghost, ClockKing, Calendar Man, Kite Man, Catman, Zebra-Man, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and the Condiment King]]!\\

** "[[Recap/TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE3Trial Trial]]": Batman is tried by a KangarooCourt consisting of the Joker [[JokerJury (who functions as the judge)]], Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Ventriloquist, Poison Ivy, the Mad Hatter and a bunch of {{mook}} extras. They kidnap Gotham City's new District Attorney, Janet Van Dorn, to defend him, as she has publicly claimed Batman is [[CreateYourOwnVillain responsible for creating these villains]]. As she defends him, she realizes the error in her judgment, and the Rogues jury agrees and finds Batman not guilty ... and then decide to execute him anyway.

** In the episode "A Bright and Shiny Future", The Pastmaster teams up with The Metallikats to... well, you know the drill.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated,'' the Decepticons are much stronger and usually ''one'' is enough to be the villain of the week. They're not all on the same page, either. This means "Megatron Rising", the only episode where all five main 'cons appear at once, is one of these. They don't really 'team up' so much as you have Lugnut and Blitzwing looking for Megatron, then Megatron enacting his plan to steal the MacGuffin, TheStarscream serving himself as always, and Blackarachnia... trying to steal the MacGuffin before Megatron gets to it. Five villains, four goals, though obviously the "trying to find and restore Megatron" goal leads into Megatron's plan once he is restored. Also, "Decepticon Air," involving Decepticon prisoners breaking out during a space flight back to Cybertron for imprisonment, involves a team up of 'cons who aren't usually one big team; wanting to escape is about all any one of them has in common with any of the others, though they do team up.

** "[[Recap/TheAdventuresOfBatmanAndRobinE3Trial Trial]]": Batman and Gotham City's new District Attorney, Janet Van Dorn, are tried by a KangarooCourt consisting of the Joker [[JokerJury (who functions as the judge)]], Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Ventriloquist, Poison Ivy, the Mad Hatter and a bunch of {{mook}} extras.

** "Almost Got 'im". The Joker, Killer Croc, Penguin, Two-Face and Poison Ivy all meet at a poker table, each telling a tale of times when they almost defeated Batman. At the same time, ComicBook/HarleyQuinn is about to kill ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}.
** "Trial": Batman and Gotham City's new District Attorney are tried by a KangarooCourt consisting of the Joker [[JokerJury (who functions as the judge)]], Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Ventriloquist, Poison Ivy, the Mad Hatter and a bunch of {{mook}} extras.

* The ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' special "Mickey's House of Villains". Pretty much every Disney villain shows up.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'': "The Greatest Fear of All" involves a prison break when the ninja visit Kryptarium Prison to get a specific villain's help, which includes members of every enemy faction for the series, though most of them are {{mook}}s or one-off [[MonsterOfTheWeek villains of the week]].

->''"Big Boy Caprice, Breathless Mahoney, Flattop, the D.A., Pruneface, Mumbles, Lip Manlis, and the Blank are out to get the greatest detective of all time."''

This trope deals with individual stories from a series/franchise that feature several members of the series'/franchise's RoguesGallery. These tales don't necessarily fall under VillainTeamUp or LegionOfDoom, although there's considerable overlap; they just involve adventures in which a ''lot'' of villains appear, whether they're working together or not. Writers sometimes refer to these stories as "gang bangs".

* Played for laughs in the beginning of ''Videogame/CrashTwinsanity'', wherein Cortex reveals that he had organized some sort of bizzaro birthday party, consisting of many boss characters from previous games (complete with [[HeelFaceTurn a confused Crunch Bandicoot]] and a vengeful Polar the polar bear). Ultimately, none of them contribute to the fight and presumably leave when Cortex and Crash leave the area- with Dingodile suggesting to Ripper Roo that they go out for lunch.

* ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'' featured a number of Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'s enemies (and allies) being roped into working for the invading alien Xillians. Among those featured were [[GiantEnemyCrab Ebirah]], [[MuckMonster Hedorah]], [[GiantSpider Kumonga]], [[PsychoForHire Gigan]], and of course, [[{{Archenemy}} Ghidorah]]; his friend Anguirus, King Ceasar, and Rodan were also braincontrolled into aiding the aliens.

* ''Film/BatmanTheMovie'' functions as one for [[Series/Batman1966 the TV series]], since it teams up the four most popular villains: the Joker, Catwoman, the Penguin, and the Riddler.

** ''ComicBook/{{Knightfall}}'' not only introduced the world to Bane, but also hit us with The Mad Hatter, The Ventriloquist, Zsasz, SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker, Firefly, Poison Ivy, and The Scarecrow, to name just a ''few''. To get a bit more... exhaustive, the [=KGBeast=], Maxie Zeus, Amygdala, the Trigger Twins, Abattoir, Cornelius Stirk, the Riddler, Killer Croc... Essentially, what you're looking at is nearly all of Batman's major villains, a fair number of the more minor ones, and a bunch of new ones!
** ''Where Were You on the Night Batman was Killed?'' where several members of Batman's rogues gallery (ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}, the Riddler, SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker and, inexplicably, ComicBook/LexLuthor) claim to have murdered Batman and place themselves on 'trial' before a jury of their peers (The Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy, the Scarecrow, Mr Freeze, the Spook, and Signalman) with Two-Face as the prosecutor and Ra's al Ghul as the judge. Most of the rest of the rogues gallery shows up to watch.

** ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' features SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker, Harley Quinn, Bane, Victor Zsasz, The Scarecrow, Killer Croc, The Riddler and Poison Ivy, as well as references to everyone else. None of them really team up (other than Joker/Harley as usual) but many either manipulate or take advantage of the other villains plans.
** The sequel, ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', is truly a gift for the Rogue-loving fans of Batman. The main story features SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker, Harley, Two-Face, Hugo Strange, [[spoiler:Ra's Al Ghul, Talia Al Ghul]], Catwoman, Solomon Grundy, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, and [[spoiler:Clayface]]. Bane, The Riddler, Hush, The Mad Hatter, Zsasz, and Deadshot are featured in side missions. Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, Black Mask, Azrael, and Calendar Man show up in [[TheCameo cameos]] or otherwise short appearances. Most of the others are at least referenced, either via mook dialogues and {{Easter Egg}}s (like Scarecrow) or trophies (like Scarface).

** "Almost Got 'im". "SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker, Killer Croc, Penguin, Two-Face and Poison Ivy all meet at a poker table, each telling a tale of times when they almost defeated Batman. At the same time, ComicBook/HarleyQuinn is about to kill ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}.
** "Trial": Batman and Gotham City's new District Attorney are tried by a KangarooCourt consisting of SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker [[JokerJury (who functions as the judge)]], Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Ventriloquist, Poison Ivy, the Mad Hatter and a bunch of {{mook}} extras.

* The ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' episode "Revved Up" had most of the show's minor villains competing in a ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces''/''Film/TheCannonballRun''/''Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld'' style race to see who got Robin's most prized possession.

* The ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' special "Mickey's House of Villains." Pretty much every Disney villain shows up.

* ''Film/GodzillaFinalWars'' featured a number of Godzilla's enemies (and allies) being roped into working for the invading alien Xillians.

* ''Film/BatmanTheMovie'' functions as one for the TV series, since it teams up the four most popular villains: the Joker, Catwoman, the Penguin, and the Riddler.

* The Superman storylines "Ending Battle" and "Up, Up and Away" both showed off virtually the entire roster of Superman villains; both were written by Creator/GeoffJohns.

* This was the high concept of the ''ComicBook/Fantastic Four: Foes'' miniseries, as well as the earlier "World's Greatest Comics Magazine" miniseries.

* The "Grand Guignol" storyline fucntions as one for the Jack Knight incarnation of ''Comicbook/Starman'', bringing together Nash/The Mist II, Dr. Phosphorus, Crusher from the Bliss Carnival, the Bodines (from a "Times Past" story), plus [[spoiler: the rejuvenated Rag Doll, the mysterious Culp]], and, in flashbacks, the minor villains Pip and the Prairie Witch. [[spoiler: And to top it all off, the original Mist turns up alive, and Neron is the GreaterScopeVillain]].
* This was the high concept of the ''Comicbook/Fantastic Four: Foes'' miniseries, as well as the earlier "World's Greatest Comics Magazine" miniseries.
* This is how the 1990s ''Power of Comicbook/{{Shazam}}'' series handled the then-Captain Marvel's LegionOfDoom, the Monster Society of Evil; rather than teaming up, it was a number of unconnected villains all being manipulated separately by [[spoiler: Mr. Mind]].
* The 200th issue CrisisCrossover storyline in ''Comicbook/GreenLantern'' in the mid-1980s has most of the book's recurring villains pressed into service by Guy Gardner as part of an EnemyMine attack on the Anti-Monitor, but Character/{{Sinestro}} is also there to pursue his own agenda.

** ''Batman'' #400 may be the MostTriumphantExample of this trope: Ra's Al Ghul springs literally every single villain from Arkham and Gotham Penitentiary, and even though a good two thirds of them leave partway into the story, around twenty of them stick around and team up to carry out his plan.

* ''Film/BatmanTheMovie'' functions as one for the TV series, since it teams up the four most popular villains: the Joker, the Catwoman,t he Penguin, and the Riddler.

** ''Hush''

* ''Film/Batman1966'' functions as one for the TV series, since it teams up the four most popular villains: the Joker, the Catwoman,t he Penguin, and the Riddler.

* The ''TheFlash'' storyline "Rogue War" featured a LegionOfDoom plot with two groups of Flash's Rogues coming together to fight each other, but also involved numerous other, unaligned Flash villains either taking advantage of the chaos or fighting both sides.
