Pitch Black
In this AU Pitch is the biggest crime boss, killer, thief or a man set on taking over the world.

Yokai
Fans have cast Yokai as a master thief or a leader of gang of criminals, due to the role that was originally set for him in one of the earlier layouts of the Big Hero 6 film.

Tamatoa
Tamatoa would mostly be portrayed as a human thief that steals gold, jewels and other items that shine and have value. Mostly for himself. He could also scam treasure hunters to give him the treasures that they recovered from sunken ships, so he could steal their findings and add them to his collection.

The Royal Guards of Corona
Since one of their tasks is to deal and take care of the crimes in Corona, they are seen as modern day Police Officers that deal in robbery; as they had spent most of the time in Tangled cashing after the thieves that had stolen the Lost Princess's tiara. The Captain of the Guards or a human Maximus can serve as the captain of their police station and department. Cassandra (who dreams of joining the guards) would be a uniform that hopes to be moved up to detective.

Flynn Rider
Like in Tangled Flynn is a wanted thief, sometimes as a thief for hire and having Rapunzel helping him out, as his get away drive, partner in crime or have Rapunzel showing Flynn how he could get past the security system. Since he had joined the royal guards (for a short time) in the Tangled TV series, he is also seen as a policeman. He could even serve as a consultant, from his time helping the guards catch thieves by teaching them how to think like one.

Dragon Hunters
Because of their line of work, Viggo, Ryker and their hunters are seen as modern day black-market sellers, dealers, poachers and even smugglers. Instead of dragons they'll be dealing in the capture and selling of rare animals, as well as weaponry, diamond and gold smuggling, human trafficking and other illegal items and "cargo" that can be found on the black market. Selling dragons to Dragon Fights can even have them dealing in illegal dog fights, when the dragons they've caught are portrayed as dogs; they can also run underground gabbling dens or drug rings to help them earn some money for they're other lines of work.

Guardians of Childhood
Since its their job to keep children safe, the Guardians would most likely be placed as people that make sure that children are being treated fair by the system and the law. Like child protection services, the Jr. rights movement and other related lines of work. The Guardians can even be a group of people that work for a secret agency, with MiM as the CEO and their chief.

Wynchel and Duncan
Since Wynchel and Duncan are two doughnut cops, who are a part of the official Sugar Rush security team, human versions of them can easily be featured as Security Guards or as (human) Cops, that work together as a team.

Felonius Gru
In this AU, Gru doesn't abandon his criminal and villain life.

Yama
Crime AU, allows fans to focus on Yama's mob boss and leader of a street gang role, that he was originally set for him in one of the earlier layouts for the Big Hero 6 film; before he was placed as a minor antagonist. As well as a crime boss from Good Luck Alley, that encounters the Big Hero 6 team a few times in the TV series of it.

The Baron
Being a kingpin of Tangled's thieving and criminal underworld (that is seen in its TV series), can place a modern version of the Baron as a modern day crime, mob or mafia boss. With his men, like Anthony the Weasel, and family beside him, along with the criminal world he governs.

Momakase
Since Momakase is a master thief and takes part in an underground sport, she can be portrayed as herself (in the same way Mother Gothel is portrayed as herself in Rapunzel AU). Using toxic sushi, to incapacitate people, could even make her a hit-woman, that uses the dish and her main poisonous ingredient to take out her targets; or have her using knifes to takeout her targets.

Seraphina
Seraphina being a thief and a mermaid could have a human and modern version of her as a professional thief that steals rare items, that were retrieved from the sea. Like pearls (like the one she stole in Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure) and sunken treasures, before or after they were placed in museums, shops or were bought by collectors. Stealing for herself or for people that hired her, differs from story to story.

Violet Parr
Violet's observant skills and putting small things together, that allows her to uncover "secrets" and form parts of the "bigger picture", could have her as a professional, privet or an amateur detective. As some known superheroes and crime fighters, like the ones from the DC and Marvel Universes, do a bit of detecting and share some of their findings with their law informant allies.

Trader Johann
Johann is placed as a crime boss, that uses legit businesses to hide his true line of work from law informant. To take care of the comparison, without getting his hand "durty", he acts as a "good samaritan" that reports their crimes to the police, so they could take care of it for him, without them knowing.

Wilbur Robinson
Due to the cover story that Wilbur gave Lewis, when they first met, could have fans place an older version of Wilbur as a actual time travelling cop, for fun.

Spamley
Being a spam pop-up netzine, can have a human version of Spamley as a conman/artist. His game looting spam could even have him assisting the criminal underworld, by informing thieves and such about rare items, where to find them so they could steal them; and later gets them in contact with buyers.

Drago Bludvist
Drago being a ruthless and cold hearted warlord, can easily have him as a modern day war criminal.
