JUSTICE LEAGUE 54: Bring On the Bad Guys QUIZ!

I bragged that this issue would feature 25 (count 'em 25!) bad guys. I managed to pull it off, but to tell you the truth, trying to choreograph all these characters was a bigger hassle than I anticipated! LOL! Who was next to who in that scene? Where did what's his name go? Did I include that guy yet? Unlike film, I had to remember to DRAW them all in the same place. It was a major problem! 

Anyway, I did manage to include 25 characters, plus five more just for good measure. But how many do YOU recognize? Let's see!
