Most of that list is pretty funny. I will say that Giganta has a lame origin but she has been DC's go-to giantess for a long time, AND she made it onto Super Friends, itself no mean feat for a baddie. Dr. Psycho eventually became very cool and got a lot of play towards the end of the Post-Crisis DCU as well as in the Bronze Age. And finally, Angle Man actually had a very neat gimmick at the start of his career, that he "knew all the angles" and would plan very detailed heists, but then he started using a device called the Angler. You would think the Angler would be an Aquaman villain. Anyway, I have always thought that Angle Man, if played by his original take, could be a very fun character, a guy who other baddies would hire to plan their criminal enterprise down to the most minute detail, sort of a mix of The Calculator (himself a lame villain successfully revamped into the evil version of Oracle) and Kurt Busiek's take on The Prankster (who would play elaborate pranks to keep Superman and the MPD occupied while his clients pulled their heist elsewhere).
