he was probably the only synthetic member of the jl up to that point, so it sort of makes sense why he'd be a target despite being otherwise useless.

There's room for comedy where a Lieutenant Villain is making the plans, and a Major Villain goes "Hang on, why are you in charge? I outrank you!" Then they both yell at an Admiral Villain who tries to come into the conversation for not even being in the same branch.

Pilots are often called Captain. The senior player on many sports teams is called Captain.

Now I'm trying to imagine the football match between heroes and villains, where all of the villains are Captain something or other, except for Major Victory and Major Force, and they're using the confusion of so many captains to beat the poo poo out of each other while the ref isn't looking.

What I think about is all the ranks/titles that have never been used for superheroes. There's plenty of Captains, some Majors, Generals, Commanders and even a few Sergeants, but where are Corporal Cannonfodder, Lieutenant Fisticuffs, or Admiral Amoeba?

The only Colonel I can think of, other than characters who hold the actual military rank (e.g. Colonel Rick Flag), is the Flash villain Colonel Computron.
