Welcome back to The Rogues Gallery!, where we appreciate the villains throughout the DCU. So, without further ado, let's get cracking...

(WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!)


--Superboy-Prime kicked off a world of terror and hurt this week in Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds #1. In the first issue alone, he freed an ENTIRE prison planet's worth of prisoners(Including Lightning Lord, Saturn Queen, and Cosmic King), murdered countless Superman Museum and prison guards, and LITERALLY, set a world on fire, engraving the Superman S-shield into the planet's surface. With this display of evil alone, I feel like we can expect a whole lot more of villainous action from the Superboy from a parallel Earth long dead.

--Batgirl ran into a couple of people considered villains, by my standards, in Batgirl #2. First, we gained more information about the assassin named Marque. Apparently, she is another of David Cain's daughters, the oldest among them. After a pretty-much even match-up, Cassandra eventually proved to Marque that they were allies in their cause. After they teamed up, they went to visit an old accomplice of David Cain AND Slade Wilson. Playing the role of the old, mentally-gone prisoner, he called someone and warned them that "They" are looking for him/her. Who is the other person? Only time will tell. Also, at the end, we saw a glimpse of an all-too familiar costume; Blue and orange...

--Amazon continued their fight against the new and improved Amazo this week in Justice League of America #24. Aside from nearly suffocating Zatanna, he beat half the JLA roster to a pulp. Until, however, Batman and Steel came up with a plan to beat him. Using Wonder Woman to pummel Amazo, they brought him to the slideways doorway. Then, Zatanna, channeling Red Tornado, whipped up a whirlwind to blow Amazo through the doorway and into the gravity of Antares, a Red Supergiant, which nullifies any chance of using Superman's powers, stranding him. Also, this issue set up the Animal Man-Vixen team-up against the new villain Anansi, who is messing with both the animal-based heroes, both in mind and powers.


So, that's all the villain chatter I have for this week. Remember to stay tuned next week for another edition! Also, as usual, I will leave you with a villainous piece of artwork. This week, I'm featuring that Clark kent from a parallel Earth long dead, SUPERBOY-PRIME:



So, remember, always appreciate the villains. Because, without villains, there'd be no heroes.
