ISIS Equivalent in Movie/Comic Lore?

Watching all of this stuff with ISIS and a thought occurred to me about how this rogue/stateless army trudging through the Middle East reminds me of the type of thing that we see in movies or in comic books with villans and their henchmen creating chaos and brutality.
It is surreal.
What is the best correlation here of art imitating life? Where do we see some kind of equivalient in movies or comic books?
Interested in comparisons.

The Ten Rings from Iron Man 1 seems to be a pretty good comparison.

DC has the outlaw nation of Qurac when it needs middle eastern baddies.

Dark Lord/Orcs from Lord of the Rings. Savages controlled by a supreme leader who want nothing more than to take over the world with their brutal way of life.

Do the Fremen count?
ETA: Cobra is probably the best answer

The bad guys in Zero Dark Thirty remind me a lot of ISIS.
