A few months ago, I made a little series of Flickr about some enemies that Indy could face in future adventures. None of these pictures technically have Indy in them, but I'd like to post them, if you'll indulge me.
The Fearsome Foes of Indiana Jones!
The Faust Brigade:

"Following the death of Arnold Toht, Hitler named as the new head of the Third Reich Special Antiquities Collection his most trusted subordinate, codenamed ?Agent Faust.? Despite their best efforts, the U.S. Office of Strategic Services has been unable to uncover any information about Faust?s past, including his date and place of birth, his rank, and his real name. The only thing that can be confirmed is that he is the second most powerful man in Nazi Germany and that he has cheated death as many times as Indiana Jones himself. What no one knows is that Faust has made a terrible bargain in exchange for power, and that he has plans to usurp the Furher and install himself as the leader of the Axis Powers and, eventually, the world. Faust is surrounded at all times by the most highly trained and lethal soldiers in the German army (nicknamed ?The Faust Brigade?), and all officers, regardless of rank, must defer to Faust?s commands. The OSS has ordered Indiana Jones to track down any and all artifacts that could be of interest to Faust; as a result, the two have faced off in hotspots around the globe."
The Thuggee Reborn:

"Born to a wealthy British plantation owner and an upper class Indian mother in Bombay, Robert Henning was raised and educated in Great Britain. Although he excelled in both academics and athletics, he was ostracized by his fellow students due to his heritage. After graduating from Oxford with a doctorate in engineering, Henning returned to India and changed his name to Aatish. His difficult life in England made him bitter and disdainful toward the West, and he sought out methods to expel the British from India. Unimpressed with the nonviolent methods of activists like Mahatmas Gandhi, Aatish found kindred spirits in the nearly extinct Thuggee cult. Aatish took control of the sect, which grew greatly under his leadership. Aatish organized attacks against British troops stationed in India, bringing him to the attention of the British military. Indiana Jones is contacted by his old friend, English Colonel James Blumburt, and asked to come to India and lend his expertise in combating the Thuggee. Once in country, Indy discovers from some locals that Aatish is searching for an ancient parchment containing the plans for the Brahmastra, an unstoppable weapon of the gods that completely annihilates everything in its path. Now Indy is in a race against time stop Aatish and the Thuggee from building and discharging the weapon against its intended target: England!"
Red Menace:

"As Joseph Stalin?s life draws to an end, his fear of death becomes unbearable. Believing that there is nothing beyond this earthly existence, the Soviet dictator frantically searches for methods to extend his life. Hearing old tales of a South American natural spring that restores youth and vitality, Stalin dispatches one of his most trusted officers, seasoned warrior Colonel Yuri Bechov, to track down the mythical Fountain of Youth. The presence of Soviet troops in South America draws the attention of the Central Intelligence Agency, who task Indiana Jones with finding the Fountain first. Indy has his own reasons for searching out the Fountain and accepts the assignment. But when he finds out that the head of the Soviet expedition is Bechov, his old ally from World War II, will he be able to complete the mission?"
The Disciples of Nehebkau:

"For centuries, the cult of Nehebkau ? the Egyptian snake god and the guardian of the Underworld ? remained hidden from view. But as the conflict brews across the globe, cult leader Amum al-Kari decides that it is time to make their existence known. The goal of the cult of Nehebkua is to locate the Book of the Dead; with it, they can raise an undead army with which they can take over the world. Through his contacts in the Cairo underworld, Indy?s old friend Sallah el-Kahir learns of the cult and their mission. He contacts Indy and together, they must prevent the Book of the Dead from falling into the hands of the cult?and the Nazis."
If you made it through all that, thanks for reading!
