Personally, if I were to become a supervillain, I'd choose the goofiest, stupidest name possible.
That way, when I announce myself to the hero as, let's say Koala Commander, while he's having fits of laughter, I'd shoot him in the head.

Unless you're really into the gimmick, and you have a really big gun that just shoots koalas at your intended target. That might not work so well. |

I always thought DC had an unusal obsession with talking gorillas as villains.

All he does is carry around a brain in a jar. Gorilla Grodd, Monsieur Mallah, Titano and the Ultra-Humanite (Well known for possesing an albino gorillas body). That's 4! How many do we need? |

Captain Cold and the Flash rogues may be the ebst in comics, Me being a huge Spider-man fan is finding them better than Spidey's awesome rogue gallery these days(probably because they barely use it these days). No the Flash rogues are amazing. Their powers may seem lame, but that is the point, they still go toe to toe with the freaking Flash who is pretty much a force of Nature. They are smart, cunning, and ruthless. Do not diss the Rogues or Cold(who is a ton deeper than Freeze these days). Here's the problem. The bad guy can be as cunning, calculating, and smart and powerful as you want ,but the SECOND a guy named "Captain Cold" or "Mirror Master" shows up, I bust out laughing, because it's just such a stupid gimmick. I'm sorry, but I just can never find myself looking at them as any kind of threat. Gorilla Grodd's a bit of a different story, but even he's not that great. Yeah and while you are laughing Mirror Master will direct Captain Colds ice blast at you, and Captain Boomerang will smash you. The names are part of what make the characters, Same with the insane costumes. No one but Wally/Jay/Bart take them seriously. |

Yea, but outside of Freeze and Captain Cold, do any of those other guys even matter? Does Captain Cold really matter, either? I mean, he's part of the lamest rogues gallery in comics.  The Flash has the BEST Rogues Gallery in comics. maybe you should actually read some Rogues stories instead of making fun of their silly costumes, which, in any event, are no sillier than Spider-Man's villains when you think of it. it's pretty easy to laugh at Mirror Master until he turns you into a pane of glass and shatters you into a thousand chunks od gore-strewn glass.  sorry I just get a bit defensive whenn people mock the Rogues. |

No worries, me too. Until a few years ago I didn't know how freaking awesome there were. |

yeah. I mean, I myself used to think that they were pretty lame, until I realized that the old-school gimmicks were part of the reason that they were awesome.

I would love if there was an event where Spidey and Flash switched rogues for a while, and it ended up with both of them against a bunch of their baddies. Shocker and Spot are perfect to be on Wallyworld.

heck, so are the major ones like The Lizard and Green Goblin. the similarities between The Flash and Spider-man are actually pretty cool.

I still love Penguin the most. Just because he was based off old Kool cigarettes marketing.
DC really needs to team him up with a middle eastern guy named Camel.

I dunno, I'm willing to give Ultra-Humanite a bye here. Grodd's awesome, and by far the best Flash villian, but U-H is one of my favorite DC villians. |

Talking gorillas was fun the first time they revealed it, but now it's just stupid. |

Yeah ,he's strong, but his entire purpose is "protecting the brain in a jar". |
