If Chapter 5 was devoted to the forces of good, then Chapter 6 is all about the forces of evil. Eeeevilllll!!! Mwa-ha-haaa! ... Excuse me.
It follows the same basic format as Chapter 5, with a listing of several villain teams, followed by solo villains; the only difference is that there are a lot more villains. While many are tied in to specific heroes, others have only the losest of connections to established NPCs, making them perfect archenemies to the PC heroes. The list of villains run the gamut from your standard gimmick crooks all the way up to the world conquerors, giving a nice variety. However, most of the villains are PL 10 and above, so many aren't appropriate if playing in a campaign of say street-level, PL 6 heroes.
Again, while many of the villains are obvious pastiches of established DC and Marvel villains, many there're more than a few that are seemingly unique, such as Captain Kraken, the squid-faced space buccaneer who learned about Earth from old pirate movies from the 1930's. While the list of Freedom City rogues gets expanded in later sourcebooks (especially Freedom's Most Wanted, which is nothing BUT villains), this chapter has more than enough nasties and ne'er-do-wells to challenge any group of heroes.
