List of DCSHG Main Antagonists

Throughout most media, whether it be movies or TV shows, antagonists(or villains) are always a constant. However some villains play a much more prominent role and have become the main force against the heroes. DC Super Hero Girls is no exception. While most episodes feature a main villain, we will only be looking at the villains who have made a major Impact on the characters and story.

## Canon

While the first 2 seasons of DCSHG don't really have an over arching villain, there are several villains that have more prominent roles.

### Super Villain Girls

This is the closest thing to a main villain or in this case villains. The Super Villain Girls are a group of supervillains that make up of the following members

* Catwoman
* Poison Ivy
* Giganta
* Harley Quinn
* Star Sapphire
* Livewire

Throughout the first season each episode would introduce 1 member of the team before they all came together in *Frenemies.* while many would argue that the Super Villain Girls are the main villains of the 2 seasons, there are several things that would keep them out of the true main villain category. While they do have more appearances then any other villain, most of these appearances focus on just 1 of the members. The only episodes where villain girls are seen as the entire team and serve as the main villain is in Frenemies, *Beeline*, and *Teen Titans Go! & DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse.* In the case for the last one, one of the members quits the Villain Girls and joins the Hero Girls. over all, the Super Villain Girls serve as a good archenemy to the Super Hero Girls, but still don't fit the definition for an over arching villain. Generally a true main villain must have actions that affect the heroes long term, like throughout a show or movie.

### General Zod

General Zod was a Kyptonian who served as the main villain of the 2 part episode *DC Super Hero Boys*. Unlike the Super Villain Girls, General Zod fits most of the rules for a main villain. He required the combined efforts of both the Super Hero Girls and the Invinci Bros. His Impact on the characters was felt before he was even introduced. The only thing that kept him from being a true main villain was that he was only the main villain in one 2 part episode. Exept for a short scene in *Back in a Flash*, General Zod doesn't make any lasting impacts on the characters or story in later episodes, Except for bringing the Super Hero Girls and Invinci Bros together. However if General Zod's role was expanded beyond one 2 part episode, then he could definitely classify as a true main villain.

### Lex Luthor

Another villain who had the potential to be an over arching villain, But still fell short. Lex Luthor first appeared in *Sweet Justice*, but didn't have a villain role until *Ally Cat*. However in Ally Cat he was the main villain of that episode. But in the movie TTG&DCSHG:MM, even though he was a major villain, he was being controlled by Cythonna. Overall Lex Luthor lacks a lot of the same things that the previous villains listed lack, thru ether too few appearances of villainous roles.

### Cythonna

Similarly to General Zod, Cythonna would have made a good main villain if she had a bigger role within the series as a whole. If the DC Super Hero Girl movie was a stand alone film, Cyhtonna would definitely be the main villain of DCSHG. But in the entire series, Cythonna doesn't have enough impact.

## Steel Jaw Continuity

### Season 3

#### Steel Jaw X

Steel Jaw X was first teased at the end of *The Metal Monster*. He would later appear in a number of episodes including the season finale movie. As stated previously, a true main villain has to have a big impact on the story and characters. Steel Jaw X does both of these. His impact on the season 3 storyline is felt everywhere. The character of Light Steel/McTodd Steel wouldn't even exist if Steel Jaw X didn't. McTodd ended up on earth after Steel Jaw X and the steel jaws took over his home planet. Steel Jaw X sent Darksteel to earth in *The Metal Army,* which would become a major plot point in *Friend or Steel*. Several more episodes would would follow the impact of Steel Jaw X on Light Steel and the Super Hero Girls. Steel Jaw X appeared in the season 3 finale movie *The Battle For Earth* as the true main villain. He and his Steel Jaw Army invaded Metropolis. All the heroes and villains of Metropolis had to team up in order to fight the steel jaws. Steel Jaw X himself proved to be a powerful enemy on his own, fighting off 3 different teams of heroes and villains at once. He was only defeated by getting shot with a disintegration ray designed to vaporize steel jaws. Even after his defeat, Steel Jaw X's impact on the series was felt into season 4. At one point, his image was used by Scarecrow to terrorize Wonder Woman.

### Season 4

#### The Penguin

Penguin had a fairly minor role in the show up until season 4. He had a major role in one episode each in Season 1 and 2 and no appearance in season 3. However, his appearance in the season 4 episode *Spams And Scams* change his status as a villain. After Getting expelled from school due to attacking Diana and Babs with an umbrella gun that shot tacks, He vowed to get revenge on Diana. This would begin his role as the overarching villain of season 4.

#### Super Villain Boys

A super villain team formed by the Penguin, the Super Villain Boys were meant to take down the Super Hero Girls, with each member being a direct counter to a SHG member. The team consists of Ares, Black Adam, Trickster, Owlman, Bullet Ant, Red Lantern, and Sebastian Faust. The Super Villain Boys were used by the Penguin to carry out his evil plans.

## All-Star Continuity

### Season 3

#### Ares

Known as the god of war, Ares is Diana Prince's half-brother. He appears as the main villain of the season 3 finale *This Means War*. In the episode, he shapeshifts into Diana in order to frame her for various crimes. He is eventually defeated in the end. However, his status as a main villain is equivalent to that of General Zod. In that he only appears in one 2 part episode.
