Zoom Day 4: Favorite rogues gallery Spider-man’s Rogues I think within the world of comics, or at least traditional western super hero comics, there are only four great rogues galleries and they belong to The Flash, Batman, Spider-man and Superman. I know that other comic books have recurring villains but only a few of them have been explored like the four mentioned above. If you look at how each one of them began you can really see how far along they’ve all come from being just things for the villains to hit to unique characters with wants and desires who work well as groups and who also help to define the heroes that they oppose by being a cracked mirror image of either the things they represent or the things that they can do. That being said, with kudos to each of the Rogues galleries mentioned, the one I grew up with was Spider-man’s and so his were the first I ever saw explored in stories like Kraven’s Last Hunt and the many stories in the anthology series Tangled Web.  Not to mention, for better or worse, it was Spidey’s rogues that gave us the death of Gwen Stacy which has permanently  effected the comic book industry as well as being a fantastic story.
