Quicksand Won! Who's the Best Legionnaire Starting with the Letter R?
Candidates:
Radiation Roy (Real Name: Roy Travich, Class: Silver Age) is a radiation-based villain and former Legion reject from the Legion of Super-Villains. He doesn't do much besides fill out the ranks of the LSV, but is one of their most consistent members.
Ra's al Ghul (Class: Reboot) is a famously immortal Green Arrow villain who tussles with the Legion during the Reboot after impersonating Leland McCauley. He's very much a different hero's villain made an antagonist to the Legion, but it's a natural fit.
Also, my bad, Ra's al Ghul isn't a Green Arrow villain, he's a Superman villain.
Doctor Regulus (Real Name: Zaxton Regulus, Class: Silver Age) is a monologuing, over-the-top masked super-villain who serves primarily as a rival to Sun Boy, coming back again and again throughout the original continuity and also appearing in the Reboot.
The Resource Raiders (Class: Bronze Age) are basically just mooks for the Legion to fight in the build-up to Earthwar, led by a giant sentient brain. They end up being puppets of the Khunds, who are in turn puppets of the Dark Circle, who are in turn puppets of the real villain.
Rogarth (Real Name: Clave Rogarth, Class: Silver Age) is a member of the Taurus Gang with Kryptonian-level super-strength. That's pretty much it.
Ron-Karr (Class: Silver Age) is a sympathetic member of the Legion of Super-Villains with the power to turn flat, debuting as a Legion reject only a year before the release of the book Flat Stanley. He takes a heroic turn during the Five Year Gap as a member of the resistance force against the Dominators, and makes a similar heroic pivot in the Animated Series, where he's a Chameleon Boy-like shapeshifter.
Roxxas (Real Name: Kivun Roxxas, Class: Silver Age) is the space-pirate who massacred Element Lad's people, and an iconic villain used sparingly enough to be great as a shockingly dark Silver Age villain, the engine for a complex Bronze Age character piece, and as the first main villain of the Five Years Later era.
R'Xalim (Class: Bronze Age) is a doctor at Medicus One who treats Brainiac 5 and Matter-Eater Lad during their temporary insanity before turning bad and becoming a one-shot villain.

Rules:
- The character with the most upvotes wins.
- No downvoting. Any post found to have 0 upvotes will be given two votes.
- A character may appear on this list only once, but is eligible under multiple aliases, so long as they exist. For example, Absorbancy Boy, listed under 'A', may also be a candidate for Earth Man under 'E', so long as he did not win for 'A'.
- The character will be listed according to their supervillain name as it is most commonly used, even if that name includes a component of their real name. For example, Roxxas's first name is Kivun, but he's usually just referred to as Roxxas, and so will be listed as 'Roxxas'.
- Titles like 'Queen', 'King', 'Lord', 'Lady', 'Prince', 'Princess', 'Professor', 'Doctor', etc. will be excluded for naming purposes. For example, Doctor Mantis Morlo will be categorized under 'M' for Mantis, not 'D' for Doctor.
- For characters who are most often referred to by their full names, they will be categorized by their first name, since it comes first. So the aforementioned Leland McCauley will be listed under 'L' for Leland, not 'M' for McCauley.
- Villain organizations count individually, alongside and notable members, but villain teams do not. Villain organizations are large-scale organizations composed largely of unnamed, regular members, such as the Dark Circle, the Khunds, and the Dominators. Villain teams are composed solely of individual super-villains who can be voted individually, but not as a collective. Villain teams include the Fatal Five, the Devil's Dozen, the Taurus Gang, and the Legion of Super-Villains.
- Anyone who has debuted in a Legion story or fought them or one of their non-Superman members in a significant way counts. While I'd caution against the selection of someone like Major Disaster, who did fight Karate Kid in his solo series, that's not a hard and fast rule and may be necessary for harder letters.
- Feel free to give your F**k, Marry, Kills for these villains, too.
