Batman, Spider-Man, Xmen? Which superhero (or team) has the best rogues gallery?

I'm a long time Avengers fan, but the Distinguished Competition's Batman has Condiment King. I bet he puts ketchup on hot dogs, and that is really evil

All 55 villains in The Lego Batman Movie

What Batman villains appear in The Batman Lego Movie? A heck of a lot.

Spidey, by a wide margin. Second place goes to the Fantastic Four.

If essentially everyone in the 616 is or has been an Avenger, do the Avengers get to claim most of those bad guys?

... no, only those who have actually fought the Avengers as a group, as with the Beetle, the Shocker and the Scorpion as members of one incarnation of the Masters of Evil. Doctor Octopus' incarnation of the Masters of Evil (which also included the Shocker) notably does not count, as while they were formed to fight the Avengers, they were defeated by the Guardians of the Galaxy.

TL;DR: No.

Spiderman has a broad rogues gallery that includes some credible threats and some silliness

I like Flash’s rogue gallery too for similar reasons

Batman has all the dark brooding types and the silly gimmicks

X-Mens rogues gallery are all too cool for there own good

I'm inclined to say Batman, because so many of them have become such interesting characters (largely thanks to B:TAS, IMHO). But Spidey's is pretty strong too. And I have a soft spot for the Flash's.

And a few of them end up as X-Men.

Having the Joker in your rogues’ gallery is a strong opening hand. IMO, Bats at least has the single best villain. Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, Two-Face, Poison Ivy etc are all pretty iconic too.

Superman’s is pretty weak in comparison. I suppose there’s Luther and Braniac, but they stop being iconic after that.

Spidey is strong. Green Goblin, Doc Oc are probably the standouts.

I don’t know enough about X Men. Magneto? I'd argue if I can't name them off the top of my head, they're probably not that iconic.

I think it’s between Bats and Spidey.

Batman. Especially if you reach back in time. When I was a kid, I inherited my uncle's Batman collection of comics from the 60s and 70s. There were some absolutely wild bad guys in those comics (e.g. a formidable league of criminals masquerading as blind beggars on Gotham's streets).
