Characters which originated in, or adapted to, comics and related graphic venues are a nightmare, category-speaking. With the major brands stretching back almost a hunnert years, there are characters which have appeared against, with, near, crossovered, etc with a whole slew of other characters, and the rare cross-brand meetings too.

To look at some of these pages, there can be upwards of a dozen or so "Hero Villains" type categories. Because at some point in time, sooner or later, The Joker has faced virtually every hero. Plus the multi-hero teams.

I propose that a character be tagged with the 1 or 2 hero they originated with, and or are best known for appearing against. In other words, those that define them. The Hero most people think of when they are mentioned. So Joker, Ten Eyed Man, and Catwoman: Batman. Captain Cold and Captain Boomerang, Flash. Ultron, Avengers, Etc. And NOT every single time they cross pages or scenes with someone.
