History RoguesGalleryTransplant / TheDCU

* When ComicBook/WallyWest was brought back in ComicBook/DCRebirth and reunited with the Titans, Abra Kadabra, who started off as a rogue of his uncle [[ComicBook/TheFlash Barry Allen]] and later became one of Wally's [[ArchEnemy archenemies]] when he succeeded Barry as Flash, would go over to confront the Titans as well to settle their score.

* Another Golden Age Green Lantern villain, ComicBook/VandalSavage, is also now used as a general DC Universe villain, going up against numerous heroes, especially his time as ComicBook/WallyWest's ArchEnemy, and his prominent roles in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDoom'', and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', the latter two for his roles as the BigBad (both where he led a LegionOfDoom, though in the former he was targeting the Justice League's stolen weak points, while the latter made him a WellIntentionedExtremist using [[XanatosGambit complex gambits]] against all the heroes to make Earth the strongest power in the universe).

** ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' had Deathstroke show up as a recurring foe despite having little if any connection to the Franchise/{{Superman}} mythos, while Deadshot appeared as part of the Suicide Squad in the last season of the show, along with Firestorm villain Plastique and Teen Titans villain Warp. Although ''Smallville'' is [[AlreadyMetEveryone pretty infamous about it]].

** Speaking of Luthor, he never interacts with ComicBook/{{Superman}} (though he retains his connection to ComicBook/{{Superboy}} in being his source of human DNA, a father of sorts). In fact, overall he comes comes off more as an [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Arrow Family]] villain--his first appearance sees him engaged in a XanatosGambit against [[spoiler:clone!]][[ArcherArchetype Roy]], and he's eventually revealed to be behind [[spoiler:the capture of the original Roy Harper and creation of clone!Roy as a ManchurianAgent]]. After that, [[spoiler:he uses his Secretary-General position to attempt to promote the Justice League and the Outsiders as HeroesWithBadPublicity]].

** The first episode has the Acolyte, who was the BigBad to ComicBook/YoungJustice, the team that was the SpiritualSuccessor to the Titans in the comics. ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders villains the Nuclear Family also face the Titans throughout the first few episodes by being connected to [[ArchnemesisDad Trigon]] and targeting Raven, as Acolyte had tried.

** The ''majority'' of villains are not associated to any specific hero. Almost all the heroes work for or with the Justice League [[EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily while most of the villains are part of]] [[LegionOfDoom The Light]]. Speaking of The Light, the main council is lead by ComicBook/VandalSavage, whom originally faced [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Alan Scott]] but became an overarching villain to the DC universe as a whole, in this case here as a WellIntentionedExtremist, and has maintained ComicBook/{{Superman}} villain ComicBook/LexLuthor, ComicBook/JusticeLeagueInternational villain Queen Bee, and ComicBook/{{Etrigan}} villain ComicBook/KlarionTheWitchBoy, whom is also remembered for his role in the storyline ''Sins of Youth''. Other members of The Light, most of which were rotated out and replaced by other villains, include ComicBook/{{Batman}} villain ComicBook/RasAlGhul, ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} villains Ocean Master and Black Manta, ComicBook/DoomPatrol villain the Brain, ComicBook/TeenTitans and ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} villain ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}, original Superman archenemy and later Justice Society villain Ultra-Humanite, ComicBook/NewGods and Mister Miracle villain Granny Goodness, and [[spoiler:ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders villain Bad Samaritan, here an ambassador of Markovia in the United Nations]]. By the show's present time period, the whole concept of a Rogues Gallery [[ExaggeratedTrope has pretty much vanished]].

* The Brotherhood of Evil were introduced as enemies of the ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'', but following the cancellation of that series and the corresponding death of most of its cast, the Brotherhood (now including new members like Plasmus and Phobia) went on to fight the ''New ComicBook/TeenTitans'' throughout the 80s. The group's two most prominent members, the Brain and Monsieur Mallah, have since become more general DC villains, having gone on to antagonize the likes of the Justice League, ComicBook/TheOutsiders, [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl 2000}} Cassandra Cain]], ComicBook/TheAtom and even ComicBook/AnimalMan.

* The original Sabbac was a [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel Jr]] villain. The second one stole the first's powers and used them to fight ComicBook/TheOutsiders.

* ''WesternAnimation/CatwomanHunted'': ComicBook/{{Catwoman}} and ComicBook/{{Batwoman}} end up facing enemies who aren't part of their usual rogues galleries; ComicBook/{{Cheetah}} (''ComicBook/WonderWoman''), Tobias Whale (''ComicBook/BlackLightning'' and ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}''), Nosferata (''ComicBook/{{Superboy}}''), Cheshire (''ComicBook/TeenTitans''), Boss Moxie Mannheim (''ComicBook/{{Superman}}''), Dr. Tzin (''ComicBook/{{Batman}}''), La Dama (''ComicBook/BlueBeetle''), ComicBook/TaliaAlGhul (''ComicBook/{{Batman}}''), and Oyabun Noguri (''ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders'' and given the codename "Mr. Yakuza" here). Black Mask is the only villain who is well known for facing against Catwoman, and ironically this movie seems to be their first meeting.

** The main villain of ''Film/BlackAdam2022'' is Sabbac, usually an enemy of [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel Jr. and the Marvel Family]] in the comics. In fact, the comics had previously portrayed Sabbac and Black Adam as ''allies'' rather than enemies. He's also specifically the Ishmael Gregor version, who in the comics has no connection to ''any'' Shazam characters beyond stealing the original Sabbac's powers to fight the Outsiders. In addition, while Akh-Ton did briefly conquer Kandaq in the comics and was fought by Adam, he was primarily an enemy of ComicBook/{{Metamorpho}}.

** [[spoiler:General Zod became the StarterVillain of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes rather than being one of ComicBook/{{Superman}}'s major enemies, due to only finally being let out of the Phantom Zone in their time and being re-imprisoned by them. His son Lor-Zod, adapting [[AdaptationalVillainy changes]] in ''ComicBook/SupermanFamilyAdventures'' and ''ComicBook/SupermanRebirth'' and being depicted as a time traveler, likewise becomes one when he hopes that killing [[ComicBook/Superboy1994 Conner Kent]] will remove the inspiration behind the Legion to prevent his father's defeat, and becomes another New Gods adversary through his partnership with Darkseid. This is further backed by Ursa Zod, General Zod's wife, becoming a CompositeCharacter / LegacyCharacter of Legion of Super-Heroes villain Emerald Empress. Despite this, the Zods still have their burning hatred for Jor-El and the El family, and finally meet Superman near the end of season 4 after they escape the Phantom Zone in the present day, though because Zod and forces were freed in the present rather than the future, their history with the Legion was largely erased, leaving them primarily as Superman villains.]]

* One storyline in the New 52 ComicBook/TeenTitans run saw the Teen Titans fight Manchester Black and the Elite, best known as enemies of Superman.

* Garguax started off as a ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'' villain and was ultimately killed off during Paul Kupperbeg's run in issues tying in to DC's ''ComicBook/{{Invasion|DCComics}}'' CrisisCrossover. Years later, he resurfaces as an antagonist in Creator/MarkWaid's ''ComicBook/{{Shazam|2023}}'' series.

* ''Series/{{Peacemaker}}'':

* Doctor Light was originally a ComicBook/{{Justice League|Of America}} villain, but drifted to become an enemy of the ComicBook/TeenTitans from TheSeventies onward. The subsequent hit his reputation took (both in and out of universe) led to him arguably becoming best known for getting beaten up by the Titans and other {{Kid Hero}}es, at least until ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'' attempted to reestablish him as a villain worthy of DC's big guns. Adding to this perception is the fact that nearly all of his major media appearances have been in Teen Titans adaptations, such as the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans 2003 cartoon]] or the [[Series/{{Titans 2018}} live-action series]].

* ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} the Terminator started out as a ComicBook/TeenTitans rogue, turned towards antiheroism, and then became (after ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'') [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor a sort of generic DC Universe villain]], being as much of a dick to as many superheroes as he could manage. He seems to have a hobby of [[PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize harassing young heroes.]] He's never let go of his grudge against the Titans since he never completed his contract against them (a bit of a blow to his merc cred). More specifically, his main archenemy among the team was ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}, then the team leader during the time of his introduction during his days as ComicBook/{{Robin}}. He even went so far as to harass Damian Wayne, Nightwing's (who was, for a while, Batman) protege. Additionally, he's also become a ComicBook/{{Batman}} villain, often tangling with him many times, and is considered an adversary to Batman almost as much as he is to the Titans. The WesternAnimation/DCAnimatedMovieUniverse would also make him a Batman villain via having him as a former member of the League of Assassins, but he switches Robins, developing a hatred of Damian Wayne (Batman's son and League of Assassins leader Ra's al Ghul's grandson) during the events of ''WesternAnimation/SonOfBatman'' rather than Dick Grayson (due to him being the reason for Slade's missing eye, and the villain's successful coup d'etat when he kills Ra's and captures Damian's mother ComicBook/TaliaAlGhul), so that by the time an AnimatedAdaptation of classic Teen Titans story ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTheJudasContract The Judas Contract]]'' took place in that universe, his original reason for taking the titular contract is replaced by a desire to get revenge on Damian.
