Which mU rogues galleries need to be revamped? I say Iron Man's and daredevil's, both have alot of chareacters with potenial.
With Iron Man there a ton of rogues that be good if they were revamped, perhaps someone can upgrade their tech so they stand a better chance against IM:
The Controller: Perhaps give him a new costume and your set to go. He has elements of a good villain: a psychopathic personality, a good motive and cool gimmick. Just upgrade his costume and his technology (mind control nano bots instead of his old "slave" discs) and your good to go.
The Ghost: Again there is nothing wrong with his villain he is merely underused. Again he his ideals are the opposite of Iron Man's he has fanatical hatred of corporations and is willing to sacerfice his own life to achieve his goals. In some ways he as an anti thesis to Iron Man's views. Just give him his old costume back your good to go.
Living Laser: His powers make him more then a match for Iron Man. Plus he has a creepy stalker thing that has been around since the silver age: take a look at his first appearance and his interest in the Wasp. Another fine underused villain.
Crimson Dynamo or Titanium Man: Its time to make one of Iron Man's old armoured foes a threat again. Here is an idea: in Russia a group of ultra nationalists are planning on overthrowing the government and replacing it with a facist style dictatorship. The leader of this movement is an old school Russian general who has over seen quite a few campaigns in afghanistan in the 80s and is a ingenius tactian. The group gets ahold of old model of either the one of those armors and the general decides to use it to overthrow the Russian government. When Iron man stops him, the general bares a grudge against him.
There are also a ton of DD villains that could be interesting if they were used better:
Purple Man has already been revamped, but he should be a DD rogue again.
Mr. Hyde is supposed evil incarinate, but in most of his appearances he comes across a generic thug at best and a goof at worst. He could be a cunning bloodthristy monster, a truly evil creature who matches his name sake, instead of the thug/goof we have now.
Bullet could be a sympathetic figure if the focus was put on his need to commit crimes to take care of his autistic son, rather than just treating him like a thug.
Bushwacker is a holy roller, it would be an interesting conflict with DD who uses his religious beliefs to good deeds with Bushwacker, who uses his religious beliefs to justify evil deeds.
I think Mr. fear could work as well, give him a better costume (make him look like the Grim reaper instead of skeletor) and establish which version of Mr. fear will be DD's new arch foe.
