Should fairy tail have a rogues gallery?

I'm leaving it on the page for now, but

• The most famous examples include Scarecrow^note a psychologist obsessed with fear, Two-Face^note an attorney who became obsessed with duality after half his body was disfigured, Poison Ivy^note a woman capable of controlling plants and an eco-terrorist, Penguin^note a scion of a wealthy family who was born heavily disfigured; now a crime lord in Gotham City, The Riddler^note a criminal mastermind obsessed with proving his own genius by leaving difficult clues behind, Catwoman^note a cat burglar who has an on-off relationship with Batman, Mr. Freeze^note a cryogenicist trapped in a cooling suit; he is seeking money to revive his frozen wife, and The Joker^note an incredibly deranged man in clown make-up obsessed with Batman himself. Lesser known, but still highly important villains, include Hush^note the scion of a wealthy Gotham family who wants revenge on the Wayne family, Harley Quinn^note a former psychiatrist of Arkham Asylum who became infatuated with The Joker, Clayface^note a series of characters who all have clay-like bodies that allow them to take on the appearances of other people and reshape their bodies at will, Killer Croc^note a man with a rare genetic deformity that gives him crocodile-like characteristics, Ra's Al-Ghul^note the seemingly immortal leader of an Ancient Conspiracy dedicated to steering society, and Batman's mentor, Deadshot^note a Professional Killer with almost supernatural aim, Bane^note an exceptionally intelligent man who was raised in a prison and experimented on with a combat drug, Mad Hatter^note a madman obsessed with Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, and Black Mask^note a crime lord obsessed with masks; the mask he wears was fused with the skin of his head after a fire. He's also got a bunch of lower-tier villains like Killer Moth, Firefly, Ventriloquist and Scarface, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Great White Shark, Narcosis, the Court of Owls, Professor Pyg, Dr. Dadelus, Ten-Eyed Man, KG-Beast, Black Spider, Lock-Up, Steeljacket, Orca, Roadrunner, Dr. Phospherus, Lord Death Man, Flamingo, and Cluemaster^note the father of the most recent Batgirl before Flashpoint happened. Hadn't really used his gimmick since her introduction.

Do we really need the descriptions of each of them? None of the other examples have them.

I was wondering if the famous mob scene from "The Great Piggy Bank Robbery" with Daffy Duck could be considered an example of a Rogue Gallery... I think that at least it invokes this trope. Or maybe I just like that cartoon too much.

NO, non è il mio mestiere!

Shouldn't there be any Rogues Gallery in Anime/Manga?

Your receipt. You can keep the freakin' change. Hide / Show Replies

Question: should the mooks and bosses in Beat 'em Up games be considered members of a Rogues Gallery for the heroes? I'm thinking specifically of Final Fight and Streets of Rage.
