History VillainTeamUp / WesternAnimation

* In ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'', the Beagle Boys were sometimes hired by Magica [=DeSpell=] or Flintheart Glomgold to help pull off their latest evil deed to be done to Scrooge [=McDuck=]. Eventually, all three parties teamed up to really rain on Scrooge's parade in a seven-issue story arc, ''Scrooge's Quest'', that ran in Disney's ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'' comic book (this was done seven years prior to the above-mentioned DonRosa story). It's a minor case of WhatCouldHaveBeen, though, as the Beagle Boys are just depicted as hired thugs for the other two, not with their traditional knack for over-the-top heists; and Magica and Glomgold don't really ''cooperate'', they just agree to time their attacks on Scrooge at the same time. No real planning or joining of forces.

* In the ''FantasticFourWorldsGreatestHeroes'' episode "Recap/RevengeOfTheSkrulls" the super-Skrull comes about as the result of collaboration between a Skrull and Ronan the Accuser. It almost worked, except for the interference of their "[[AscendedFanboy Fantastic Fifth]]", Rupert.

* In the ''Westernanimation/{{Avatar the Legend of Korra}}'' episode "[[{{Clip Show}} Remembrances]]", Varrick's [[{{Unreliable Expositor}} retelling of Bolin's story]]/mover pitch involves [[{{Malevolent Masked Men}} Amon]], [[{{God of Evil}} Vaatu]], and [[{{Bomb Throwing Anarchists}} Zaheer]] teaming up to defeat the mighty Nuktuk/Bolin! [[{{My Friends and Zoidberg}} Also]] [[{{The Scrappy}} Unalaq]] works his way in. Oh, and Amon is a zombie.

* Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy first became partners in the "Harley and Ivy" episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. The two teamed up frequently in this and various other [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batman]]-related media, including the mainstream comic book, usually when Harley was seperated from the Joker (either because he's in Arkham or after a fight with him).

*** Interesting in any case they betray each other.

** Also in episode ''The Strange Secret of Bruce Wayne'' The Joker, The Penguin and Two Face team-up in order of buy the secret of Batman's real identity to Dr. Hugo Strange.

** ''The Trial'' is probably the episode of B:TAS with the largest number of villains team-up, practically the entire Rogues Gallery except for The Penguin, Clayface and Ra's al Ghul, team-up after taling control of Arkham to trial Batman.

* In the ''Westernanimation/{{Avatar the Legend of Korra}}'' episode "[[{{Clip Show}} Remembrances]]", Varrick's [[{{Unreliable Expositor telling of Bolin's story]]/mover pitch involves [[{{Malevolent Masked Men}} Amon]], [[{{God of Evil}} Vaatu]], and [[{{Bomb Throwing Anarchists}} Zaheer]] teaming up to defeat the mighty Nuktuk/Bolin! [[{{My Friends and Zoidberg}} Also]] [[{{The Scrappy}} Unalaq]] works his way in. Oh, and Amon is a zombie.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' Season 4 [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E25TwilightsKingdomPart1 Fin]][[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E26TwilightsKingdomPart2 ale]], Tirek tricks Discord into making a FaceHeelTurn and the two proceed to team up. Of course, their alliance doesn't last.

* Subverted in ''{{The Spectacular Spider-Man}}'', as the Sinister Six is well-planned, has [[ItOnlyWorksOnce removed all their old weaknesses]], and their members go out of their way to avoid intentionally hurting each other. It nearly works, until Spidey's EvilCostumeSwitch kicks in.

* The ''WesternAnimation/MrBogus'' episode "[[{{Recap/MrBogusS3E2B-TV}} B-TV]]" saw Bogus getting [[TrappedInTVLand trapped in the television set]], where he is forced to endure various forms of torture inflicted on him by his enemies [[EvilCounterpart Baddus]], [[{{Mooks}} the Meteor Goons]], [[YouDirtyRat Ratty]], {{Mole|Miner}}, and [[FatBastard Jake]] and [[LeanAndMean Butch]], via use of different TV programs being watched by [[BumblingDad Mr. Anybody]] and [[OnlySaneMan Tommy Anybody]].

* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E25TwilightsKingdomPart1 Twilights Kingdom Part 1]]'', Tirek tricks Discord into making a FaceHeelTurn and the two proceed to team up.

** Drakken and Lucre in "The Mentor of Our Discontent", Shego and Junior in "Two to Tutor" and "The Big Job", Shego and Motor Ed in "Car Alarm", and Drakken, Shego, and Hamsterviel in the LiloAndStitchTheSeries episode "Rufus".

* A crossover episode of the ''Disney/{{Hercules}}'' television series had Hades team up with a recently deceased ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}''' Jafar in an attempt to kill one another's arch nemesis by pitting them against one another. While it was a deadly alliance (the heroes almost killed each other), the heroes figure out they were being played and Hades drastically underestimated [[KarmicTrickster Aladdin's]] wit, resulting in Jaffar's staff being broken and him being dragged into the styx, becoming just another mindless soul swirling in eternity.

** Earlier, they had a team-up of old Comicbook/{{Superman}} villains in the {{DCAU}} version of the Superman Revenge Squad. In a subversion, this Squad was taken out not by Superman himself, but by his fellow Leaguers. Lobo even [[GuestStarPartyMember temporarily joined the League]], and defeated Kalibak [[CrowningMomentofAwesome by burying him under an ever-growing pile of smashed cars until Kalibak finally said "Uncle".]]

* The 1960s {{Spider-Man}} cartoon shows why ganging up on the hero doesn't necessarily work any better than making him or her RunTheGauntlet. When [[CanonForeigner Dr. Noah Boddy]], an invisible man created by the show's writers, busts Electro, the Green Goblin and the Vulture out of prison to get revenge on Spider-Man, they actually take the time to weaken Spider-Man beforehand by knocking out his spider-senses and reducing his SuperStrength. Unfortunately, the villains are also shown constantly arguing with one another. Spider-Man exploits this by using ventriloquism to make it sound as if they're insulting each other, and the villains end up taking ''each other'' out.

** The next to last episode of the series had a group called the Negative 10 composed of most of the lesser villains Ben, Gwen and Max faced through the series headed by new villain, the Forever King. They actually manage to work together rather well but end up outsmarted in the end.

* Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy first became partners in the "Harley and Ivy" episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. The two teamed up frequently in this and various other Franchise/{{Batman}}-related media, including the mainstream comic book, usually when Harley was seperated from the Joker (either because he's in Arkham or after a fight with him).

* ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' had a villain team up episode where [[HarmlessVillain Abis Mal]] had gotten some magical device but didn't know how to get it where he wanted it, and [[EvilGenius Mechanicles]] just happened to walk into the BadGuyBar with some mechanical insects at the right time.

* A crossover episode had Disney's [[Disney/{{Hercules}} Hades]] team up with a recently deceased [[Disney/{{Aladdin}} Jafar]] in an attempt to kill one another's arch nemesis by pitting them against one another. While it was a deadly alliance (the heroes almost killed each other), the heroes figure out they were being played and Hades drastically underestimated [[KarmicTrickster Aladdin's]] wit, resulting in Jaffar's staff being broken and him being dragged into the styx, becoming just another mindless soul swirling in eternity.

* "The League of Villains" from ''TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutron''.

* Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy first became partners in the "Harley and Ivy" episode of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''. The two teamed up frequently in this and various other {{Batman}}-related media, including the mainstream comic book, usually when Harley was seperated from the Joker (either because he's in Arkham or after a fight with him).

* In an episode of ''CourageTheCowardlyDog'' Eustace decides to take out Courage by gathering a group of villains from previous episodes in an alliance against that stupid dog (ignoring the fact that these villains have also endangered his own life in the past).

* The ''PowerpuffGirls'' had to fight a team-up of Mojo Jojo, Him, Princess Morbucks, and Fuzzy Lumpkins that ultimately broke up because, in the end, they were just a giant parody of The Beatles ("The Beat-Alls"). This is how the Girls actually beat them-the villains actually work very well together and the Girls can't beat them in combat. Instead, they find a female monkey who becomes a literal YokoOhNo and causes the team to fall apart on its own after Mojo Jojo falls in love with her.

* The villians from CodenameKidsNextDoor have done this quite afew times, justified since the heroes they're fighting are part of a military organization.

* ''DynoMuttDogWonder'': Six villains previously defeated by Blue Falcon teamed up to get rid of him. When they thought they got rid of the heroes, they divided themselves in three pairs to commit crimes and the heroes decided to trick the villains into meeting to capture all of them. (Blue Falcon believed that, if he went and captured one of the pairs, the others would learn he escaped and would vanish)

* The final season of WesternAnimation/TeenTitans builds to a climax as the Brain leads a team up of nearly every villain in the show's run to capture the Titans and all their allies. Except the [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass harmless]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes ones]].
* [[spoiler:Abraham Kane and the Duke of Detroit]] in the two-part finale of ''{{WesternAnimation/Motorcity}}''. Earlier on, [[spoiler:Abraham Kane and "Red"]].
