47 characters in this story:
There are LOTS of villains in this issue, which depicts a breakout from the Raft, a maximum-security facility for super-villains. As with many such stories, this issue features large-scale fights between some heroes and a crowd of villains. Most of the villains are seen fighting, but have no dialogue and receive no special emphasis. Some of these villains might really only be seen in a few panels, or even just one panel. So one could classify their appearance as a "cameo," but we have not done that here, because they are part of the battle throughout the issue. It is beyond the scope of what we are doing here to try to accurately identify every single character in every panel and provide precise counts for how many panels they appear in as part of a "cameo appearance."
Having said that, there are a few villains who really are emphasized more than others in this issue. Most prominently featured are Carnage, Mister Hyde, and Hydro-Man. In addition to these, a few villains are identified by name and given at least one or two panels of special emphasis: Count Nefaria, Foolkiller (Kurt Gerhardt), The Crusader (Arthur Blackwood), Cutthroat (Daniel Leighton) and the Purple Man (Zebediah Killgrave).
One source identifies Typhoid Mary as a character in this issue, as one of the escaping convicts from the Raft. She definitely appeared in the previous issue, but I don't see her here. The Molecule Man (Owen Reece) may well have been an older gentleman seen in the crowd of villains two-page spread in the previous issue, but I don't see him here, although one source identified him.
