< Five-Bad Band

Five-Bad Band/Western Animation

  • Darkwing Duck: Fearsome Five
    • Big Bad - Negaduck, the definite leader, who fits the other roles so well, too - right down to Dark Chick.
    • The Dragon - Megavolt, with a flashy, obvious power and a popularity that might just be the greatest both among the fandom and among the writers.
    • The Evil Genius - Bushroot, botanist whose plant attacks are relatively indirect and often bolstered by experimental chemistry.
    • The Brute - Liquidator, a water elemental whose innate power is potentially far greater in terms of raw threat than anyone else in the show, whose weakness is that he is relatively unimaginative.
    • The Dark Chick - Quackerjack, whose special ability is "wackiness" (his 'gimmick' of making deadly toys isn't a superpower).
  • Gargoyles: The Pack
    • Big Bad: Fox. Pulls double duty as the Smart Guy. Later replaced by Coyote.
    • The Dragon: Wolf. Constantly trying to take over (from Coyote; he didn't seem to mind working for Fox), but failing miserably.
    • The Evil Genius: Dingo. Combat Pragmatist who prefers explosives and long-range weapons. Besides Fox, the most level-headed of the group.
    • The Brute: Jackal. Actually, both he and his sister Hyena fill the brute roles. They both love to slice and dice with mean claws.
    • The Dark Chick: Hyena, basically just by gender-based process of elimination, as usual.
  • Samurai Jack: The Bounty Hunters
    • Big Bad - Princess Mira, a deposed royal desperate to regain her kingdom by killing Jack for Aku
    • The Dragon - Jujunga, an intimidating indigenous Australian whose blowdarts are tipped with the deadliest poisons.
    • The Evil Genius - I and Am, catlike creatures with Twin Telepathy and more cunning between them than the rest of the group, Mira excluded, combined.
    • The Brute - Boris, a tremendous Russian who doesn't know the meaning of the word "finesse." Overestimates his own abilities; His plan for killing Jack hinged on Jack's sword breaking against his skin. Extremely dimwitted.
    • The Dark Chick- The Gentleman, a Southern style dandy and master of the duel. Equipped with Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness and Dual-Wielding knives
    • Bigger Bad - Aku
  • Spider-Man
    • The Insidious Six from the 90's Spider-Man series
      • Big Bad - The Kingpin, The Man Behind the Man for the team.
      • The Dragon - Doctor Octopus, field leader and the most competent.
      • The Evil Genius - Mysterio, his tech and resources are heavily used in their initial plot against Spider-Man.
        • Also applies to Doctor Octopus, especially following Mysterio's death.
      • The Brute - Rhino and Scorpion share this role as both are good for raw brawn and not much else.
      • The Dark Chick - The Shocker, relatively the least formidable on the team.
      • Sixth Ranger - The Chameleon, the most distant of the group, betrays them in their last incarnation. Also the Vulture is a more fitting example, replacing Mysterio after his supposed death.
    • The Sinister Six (The Spectacular Spider-Man version)
      • Big Bad - Doctor Octopus, the leader of the bunch and probably the most competent.
      • The Dragon - Electro, who wields more raw power than anyone else on the team, and is also the most loyal to Doc Ock.
      • The Evil Genius - Vulture, a Gadgeteer Genius.
      • The Brute - Sandman and Rhino share the position.
      • The Dark Chick - Shocker. The closest thing to an ordinary guy on the team. While quite formidable, his teammates tend to outstrip him in power and/or smarts.
  • Teen Titans
    • The Brotherhood of Evil
      • Big Bad and Evil Genius- The Brain (he's the leader of the whole group, and far away the most intelligent)
      • The Dragon- Monsieur Mallah (the Brain's loyal and powerful enforcer)
      • The Brute- Madame Rouge (she's not dumb, but uses brute force the most and usually gets sent to do kidnappings and killings)
      • The Dark Chick- General Immortus (why exactly was he there again? EXPERIENCE!)
  • Transformers Animated
    • Decepticons (Notably, they don't really come together like this until the final episodes)
      • Big Bad - Megatron
      • The Dragon - Starscream initially, then Blitzwing takes the role
      • The Evil Genius - Shockwave (Soundwave normally takes this role, but he never actually joins the group in this series)
      • The Brute - Lugnut
      • Wild Card - Starscream, along with all his clones
  • Transformers Prime
    • Big Bad- Megatron
    • The Dragon- Starscream though following his defection, the role now seems to rotate among Soundwave, Knock Out, and Airachnid, depending on Megatron's mood.
    • The Evil Genius- Soundwave and Knock Out (Soundwave is the espionage expert, Knock Out is tech advisor and medic)
    • The Brute- Breakdown
    • The Dark Chick- Airachnid
    • Sixth Ranger: Dreadwing, who joins in season 2 and several episodes later is promoted to the vacant Dragon position.
