Oh so we are talking Pomegranate, makes life easier.
Which means my earlier note about the Professor dying and his creation of a female villain based off chemical elements are correct. Where they are on the other hand....

There is little in the write ups for Spectra and Jabberock other than their actual names and the fact that it is Professor Pomegranate and his Ubermachine that gave them powers.
That and the fact that it is linked to the Thugmaster and his School for Thugs.
Looking under Ubermachine gets lots of unhelpful stuff like links to the Uber firm.
I vaguely recall another villain created as the Professor was trying to create villains corresponding to elements. But where that is I don't know.
This is where the Question Man would have come in hand in handy. Sadly h is no longer with this.
There was a mention somewhere, maybe in one of the early rule books ?, where the Professor was dying and had a doctor kidnapped in order to transplant the brain into another body. It was used as an example of storytelling.
Otherwise he is like Lirby Koo. Mentioned but never given a write up
But if it is Ubermachien then I am drawing a blank as is google.

Can you list the villains and I can check all the books that I may have with them in it as I am coming up empty at present ?
I looked for it under Google and got a Googlewhack, just one result pointing at this thread.

Clark Branston was a salesman selling all sorts of things to people especially if they did not need it but playing on 'keeping up with the Joneses' and 'The American Dream'. The bottom line was that he was making money and being successful. And that meant a better office, access to the executive bathroom, a better place to live, getting tables at the best restaurants and admission to better clubs. Life could not be better in most ways for Clark. He paid no attention to the eclipse after all what could it do for him. But after it passed over him and shrouded him in darkness something happened. He felt a little unwell and was deciding on getting a check up when a new hero appeared on the streets.
The Citizen. Halting petty crime and exposing corporate dirty dealings, no crime was too small or too large for The Citizen to handle. He was helping people all over the place. Clark first saw i in the papers but it was when he saw TV footage that his jaw dropped. That was him ! He was The Citizen ! He decided on sleeping pills and exhausting himself so that he could not possibly go out crime fighting as this vigilante. Except it did not work. Not only did The Citizen appear, he seemed full of beans.
But the last straw was The Citizen appearing in the mirror admonishing him for his life choices. Clark does not understand how friends, the people he works with and the Underworld has not easily identified him yet. The Citizen knows the answer but thinks that Clark would be better off not knowing.

It has taken me awhile but I found other of my enemies books
Classic Enemies reprinted a number of enemies from enemies 1-3 and included
The Ultimates, The Conquerors, Eurostar (with new members Mentalla, the Whip and White Flame), The Raiders(Enemies III), Terror Inc, Project Sunburst, Thunder and Lightning, Panda and Raccoon as teams or at least duos, Dr Destroyer, Dark Seraph, Slug and Firewing all appear as do what I call the fan favourites Foxbat, Grond, Black Paladin, Lady Blue, The Monster, Bulldozer and Blowtorch. Ripper who was in the Stronghold book featured as did Timemaster who appeared in an Adventurers Club. The latter would not appear again sadly. And Cobra became King Cobra.
Enemies Villainy Unbound contains the teams Mass Reaction (created by Chernobyl), PLUNDER and PSI-Kin. It also introduced Borealis (who went on to become a major figure in other books, The Duchess (who would graduate to being part of Viper's hierarchy), The Engineer (who went on into other books), Malachite (who I believe became Teleos in later books. if not the similarities got me to mix the two up) and Invictus (who got a changed update later on. I would use him as he is here the bodyguard to Reagan and Bush)
Enemies. The International File. Individual villains from around the world. The only ones I thought of using were Death Knell, Dream Thief, Madame Guillotine, Oracle, Pretty Poison and the Ruler of Crime.
Oddly I have more affection for European Enemies despite its flaws than this book. European Enemies is larger and was more expensive. It had the band Argent Anarky, the groups Triad and Eclipse and villains like Banshee, Inquisition, Black Druid, Black Jack, Carpathia, the Despoiler, Facet, Hood, Hoarfrost, Doppelganger, Mammoth and Silhouette. And if I did not use them as written I adapted them. And I liked the artwork more.
Mind you, I looked at the Zodiac book and the villains there would need a complete rework. There are also editing mistakes there for example Sagittarius is supposed to have radioed Zodiac in order to join but the description around her character sheet says she fled the law and ran into Leo and that was her way in.
Enemies for Hire. This starts off with a guy who has a gun on his shoulder. That was a win for me straight off. Interface makes his debut but is rewritten for subsequent editions. I can't think of any others who made a subsequent appearance either. Again I like the artwork here more than The International File. There was a stylistic thing here with 'missing' photos and 'post it' notes covering text which was gibberish.
Enemies of San Angelo. I got this because I liked the San Angelo stuff but some of the artwork is a little off-putting to me or rather, it is not to my taste. It is a stylistic thing more than anything else. But to be honest I have not read this in a while so I can't say much about it.
EDIT: and thanks to Tech I have been able to group the enemies books together

Comment un jeu des erreurs
Dans le détail anatomique
Ah, mon pauvre cœur arythmique
T'en as vu de toutes les couleurs
Entre nous deux, entre nous deux
Entre nous, ça va faire un malheur
Ah bah, d'accord

Mauvais perdant, petit joueur
Un gros défaut de fabrique
L'emballement psychosomatique
Bouffée délirante de chaleur
Affichez le relevé du compteur
L'extrasystole mélancolique
Entre nous deux, entre nous deux
Entre nous, ça va faire un malheur
Ah bah, d'accord
Ah bah, d'accord

Alors, c'est grave, docteur ?
Le couac dans la mécanique
Ça crève dans mon cœur erratique
Y'a comme un pic à cent à l'heure
Entre nous deux, entre nous deux
Entre nous, ça va faire un malheur
