I also thought the Trust could be made to work given that each of the heads of the families play a prominent role in the series, and their children as well.

6. The Beagle Boys
 To be honest, the first team of villains I thought of a few weeks back, and they have really quite surprised me by almost demanding to be included higher up the list. They seem to be riding the nostalgia train for all its worth in my cerebral cortex, good on them(so to speak). Given that I havent read a duck book in 30 or 40 years...

7. The Terrible TrioNo, not the Fox, Vulture and Shark, who debuted in Detective #253 (March 1958). No, not Bull Brogin, "Handsome Harry" Phillips, and Yogi Dakor, who debuted in 1964's FF #23 (though they didn't actually earn the Terrible Trio moniker until a year later, in Strange Tales #129). MY Terrible Trio appeared in Aquaman #24, cover-dated Nov.-Dec. 1965. I'm sure you remember them  from my 2017 Twelve Days of Christmas "Favorite Villain Designs" entry  Here's the great Nick Cardy cover, listing the evil Trio's members: The Fisherman (who'd appeared before as an Aquaman nemesis) with his long, stretchy, extendable fishing rod; plus new characters "Invisible Un-Thing" and "Fire-Haired Karla."   I only read this comic a few years ago and I was tickled by the nods to Marvel's Fantastic Four-- someone at DC was certainly aware of the upstart competition! Jack Schiff is credited with scripting some of the Aquaman comic stories back then, but there's no writing credit for this particular story in the GCD. And alas, this issue marks the only appearances of the Invisible Un-Thing and the Fire-Haired Karla. At any rate, IMO this is an enjoyable nudge-nudge-wink-wink story with superb Cardy art.
