What's your favorite custom enemy that you made?
I made a group called 80s.
It has knockoffs (with knockoff names) of:
The A-Team
Robert Palmer and the "Simply Irresistable" girls
Madonna and some S&M male toy boys
Michael Jackson, girlfriend and zombies
Cobra soldiers, Cobra Commander, and Destro
Smurfs
For me, it's usually the last one I just made. As a whole though, I'd have to say the WickerWork enemy group (see sig), although I wish I could have had more costume options/body sliders when I designed the Khan himself. I also ended up liking the look of the Princess from that arc so much I used her for a stalker and will probably make a DP of her too.
That's one thing I really like about the AE system is making customs. I get so many ideas for toons that I'll never get to play them all (seriously - I keep lists...), but I can use them in arcs so that they see the light of day.
My favorites are the Killjoys from the "Lesbian Hellion Liberation" arc. The Amazons that currently appear in "Death by Snoo-Snoo" are also particular favorites, although most of them are slightly modified versions of my own characters.

I made a group called "Terrible Vampires" who emulate what the world is starting to percieve vampires which are whiney little emo vamps.
I think it's obvious I hate Twilight but yeah I had fun writing in their descriptions how they're always depressed and praise their leaders, one of which is called "Mary Sue" and another "Edmond" . Made them all wear trench coats and they were pretty decent looking and had fun sterotypical dark powers apart from Mary Sue who was Sonic since she screams alot.

lol, death by Snoo-Snoo. Futurama I take it? Damn these arcs sound so fun why aren't they at the top! Played a few of the so called "Dev Choices" and they're not that impressive apart from LOLBAT, but that's just because I like the pvp web comic.
All of the custom characters I've created for arcs are my own characters as either allies or major enemies, except for my custom villain group, the Yamata Clan, featured in my arc "The Serpent's Revenge". Out of the rank and file of the clan, the lieutenant-ranked Tsundere (War Mace/Willpower) stands out the most in my mind. Though the idea of a Tsundere as a custom critter wasn't entirely my own (I was inspired by a blog I'd stumbled across from someone else planning to create one), I just couldn't resist the temptation to create it.
Currently published Mission Architect arcs:
Arc ID# 70466: From the Abyss.
Arc ID# 403174: The Serpent's Revenge.
Arc ID# 534236: The Clockwork Angel.
For myself picking a single custom enemy is difficult but if I had to narrow it down to one group I'd have to say mine is Eso-Tech. This techno-magical research and development group started as a roleplay background concept but has slowly been developing into a MA custom enemy group. Im especially pleased with the look of the critters, especially the Keepers who make up the group's basic minion class. My only regret is that I have not yet created an arc that fully utilises the group, although it does make an appearance in Hunting Hyeanas Arc #369433.
I'm pretty happy with all of them outside of "Psychophage", but I still think the Big Bad of "Two Households Alike" (#126582), Diablo Navarra, came out the best:

Probably the Dullahan - a custom Fir Bolg AV, huge suit of armor with a flaming pumpkin for a head.
Either that or Steampunk Willie - a Nemesis-aligned Freakshow EB with a Nemesis Rifle and Force Field powers, and what I've been told is a very appropriate costume design. If you don't get the blindingly obvious joke/pun/reference in the name, then you are very young indeed.
Might grab some screenshots later. Both are currently still involved in arcs in a work-in-progress state.
I'm rather fond of my Nagans, I've used those alien amazon lizardgirls in four arcs so far. Quite a few have been remade as player toons outside of AE.

Great postings!
I can't pick a singular character but I like the overall design in my arc Dhahabu Kingdom and the Indelible Curse of Hate. A sizable amount of it involves recolors to repurpose some of the mobs as opposed to pure customs.
They probably need some reworking but I have always enjoyed my "Prawn Stars" from "Can You WIN the Internet?"
Although Mr. Inquiry (from TF: Mutternacht) was, I think, a reasonably successful adaptation design that was reminiscent of his inspirations without explicitly copying their appearances.

Although incredibly cliche and pretty boring, I made what I thought was an accurate representation of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse CoH style. If I can, I'll see if I can get some pictures up of them.
I've made several custom enemy groups just to add to missions that I have been working on. However the ones I enjoy fighting the most are some extreme arch-villains I created for an arc I wish to publish in its entirety soon (I currently have an issue with destructible objects in the final mission).
The whole set of missions relates to monsters of horror movies from the 80s, more specifically the slasher films; Halloween, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Of course I didn't expect I'd be able to use their real names so I named them according to their territory. Michale Myers is the Haddonfield Slasher, Dual Blade/Invincibility, Jason Voorhees is the Crystal Lake Slasher, Battle Axe/Willpower and Freddy Krueger is the Springwood Slasher. Unlike Myers and Jason, who are both tuned more towards being brutes, Freddy is more of a stalker with Claws/Regeneration. He is also the toughest of the three.
I have a toned down version of Freddy called the Springwood Killer that is an elite boss with Claws/Dark Armor.
I was relieved of my previous position for telling the truth. Now I make my living translating the lies of other men.

I am happy with how I could make the apes of Zeta Phi look.
Chimp (Martial Arts/Regen Scrappers) and Solider Ape (Assualt Rifle/Pain Domination Corrs.)
Orang Elder (Plant/Thorns Doms)
Chimp and Ape General (Super Strength/Invol. Brutes)
I made a boss named Illuminati - Ghost with only 3 pistol powers & Summon Enforcer from the MM Thugs power set and full Ninjuitsu. I've gotten comments from ppl. saying that they REALLY like how he "decloaks" and shoots them point blank and then disappear to run off again, leading them on a wild goose chase. Sometimes tossing caltops, web grenades or blinding them.
