Secret Society of Super-Villains

One of the largest and most significant convocations of criminals ever assembled, the Secret Society of Super-Villains was created by Darkseid as an underground organization that would rid Earth of its super heroes. After Funky Flashman and Gorilla Grodd each briefly took control of the Society the villains made several attempts to destroy the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America.

After being banished too limbo by the JLA and JSA the Society regrouped when Despero helped its members recall brainwashing at the hands of Zatanna. Their attempt to take revenge resulted in the disbanding of the JLA and the Society was reformed under Alexander Luthor to be used in the Infinite Crisis. Following the Crisis, Lex Luthor reassembled his own variant of the team.
