One of the DC Universes greatest projects in recent years came in the form of the Arrowverses recent crossover event, Crisis on Infinite Earths. The story brought in several projects for DC Comics both past and present, from the days of Smallville and Birds of Prey to the DCEU and shows like Titans.

Yet with all of the changes that came with the crossovers finale and Oliver Queens sacrifice, the newly remade multiverse including Earth-Prime is not without more dangers. As new threats emerge, lets take a look at five villains who could appear on Earth-Prime, and five who could appear in the new multiverse.
One of the most destructive, unstoppable and dangerous villains of the DC Universe who should appear in the Earth-Prime universe is Doomsday. With Superman and Lois set to premiere in the Arrowverse, the show is the perfect way to begin laying down the seeds of ideas that Doomsday now exists on Earth-Prime.
The infamous Death of Superman storyline involves the Justice League failing to stop Doomsdays path of destruction, with only Superman able to stop him at the cost of his life. Adapting this into the Arrowverses newly created Justice League would be great for a new crossover in the future.
One thing that would make sense for multiversal villains to appear is using characters that have come and gone from the Arrowverse and introducing new iterations of these characters in the shows of the multiverse. A show like Titans, for example,would be the perfect place to introduce Brother Blood into the multiverse.
A major foe of the Titans, Brother Blood appeared in Arrow season 2 as a political figure who worked and was later slain by Slade Wilson. This new iteration can take more inspiration from the comics, as the leader of a cult who battles the Teen Titans on several occasions.
After the events of Crisis, it is apparent that now Earth-Prime is the lynchpin of this new multiverse created by Oliver Queen. With that in mind, there is no better villain to introduce into the Arrowverse than Imperiex. The villain is the embodiment of entropy and is pure energy housed within a suit of armor.
The story involves Imperiex trying to restart the universe with a new big bang after the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths. As it destroys planets in its way, the survivors and the heroes of Earth band together to fight the threat to the universe.
One thing that season 3 of the multiverse level show Titans could do is introduce more villains into shorter story arcs or perhaps long-running arcs along with other villains in the season. One villain who has recently had encounters with team leader Dick Grayson in the comics that would be perfect for the show is Scarecrow.
Dr. Jonathan Crane, the man obsessed with fear, is driven to find Nightwing after Robin refused to give in to fear while fighting the villain years earlier as Robin. This would be the perfect villain to introduce into Titans now that Dick has accepted his role as a hero and the team leader Nightwing.
One major story component being explored in the series Supergirl right now is the evolution of Brainiac 5, who has struggled not to become like his mother and his ancestor, Brainiac, who had an obsession with collecting cities and not holding life as valuable to preserve. With that in mind, one villain that would be great to introduce into the larger Earth-Prime universe would be his ancestor, Brainiac.

A major foe of Superman, Supergirl and the heroes of Earth, Brainiac has nearly brought Earth to the brink of destruction many times. He would be great on shows like Supergirl, Superman and Lois, and of course a larger crossover.
One villain who had a brief appearance on The Flashs second season but hasnt had a full-scale storyline or appearance in a live-action setting is Atomic Skull. Both iterations of the villain have a connection to STAR Labs in one way or another, but the basic outline for these villains taking on this mantle is that some sort of accident or explosion causes them to gain superhuman strength and translucent skin, showing their skulls.
Battling Superman and other heroes, the Atomic Skull appeared on Earth-2 as one of Zooms soldiers of metahumans, but he could make an appearance on Doom Patrol or Titans in a new setting.
One powerful alien threat that the new Justice League of Earth-Prime could face now that the heroes are united is Despero. An alien tyrant and warlord, Despero becomes obsessed with conquering Earth and destroying the Justice League after rebel forces contact the league to help free them from Desperos grip of tyranny.
A very power villain with a third eye that gives him mental control over people, he has battled the entirety of the Justice League and held his own, with Martian Manhunter, in particular, having many battles with the villain, becoming instrumental in one of his defeats by tricking his mind into believing hed gotten his hearts desire.
One villain that would be great to see explored in the new multiverse is Monarch. This villain is unique in that he is a villain from a dystopian future in the DC Universe. It is revealed that he is a mystery hero from the present-day DC Universe who grows to become the villain one day.

It is eventually revealed Hank Hall has become this villain in the future. Considering the troubles Hank has faced on Titans in the last couple of seasons, it would be interesting to see a future version of Hank force the hero to examine his choices and future as a whole.
The villain who deserves a live-action debut and would fit in perfectly on Earth-Prime is Poison Ivy. A longtime Batman foe, the character has undergone many changes over the years, going back and forth between villain and hero. Obsessed with protecting nature from humanity whom she views as a threat, the scientist turned metahuman with connections to the green is a powerful force of nature.
The villain could appear on Batwomanand it would be great to see her evolution from villain to possibly an anti-hero as she and Batwoman come to some delicate understanding of one another.
One villain who has a major connection to the Titans universe of the new multiverse who would be great in the shows third season is Psimon. A physicist named Simon Jones who was transformed by Trigon while experimenting with contacting other dimensions to become a powerful telepath with telekinetic powers.
Eventually, he became the leader of the villainous team known as the Fearsome Five, a group founded by Doctor Light, another villain who appeared on Titans. The third season could be shown setting up the Fearsome Five, one of the Titans' most powerful foes to face in the comics overall.
