Who would you put in a new Injustice Gang?

[Cayman]

What villains would you like to see battle the Justice League after they reform?


My team would be:

Superboy Prime
Triumph
Monarch
Supergirl Black
A White Martian, possibly Protex of the Hyperclan
The General
Eclipso (Jean Loring version)

That's like a massacre. Why not throw Darkseid on there? Also, it's doubtful that a majority of those villains would work together.

The JLA are supposed to fight tough foes. That's what they do.

Ultraman

Hmmmm. I don't know. Seems like you just built it with the most powerful characters you could think of. Superboy Prime fought the entire DC Universe single-handedly because he thought he was a better hero than all of them put together. Explain to me why he's going to join The Injustice Gang.

Here's my Injustice Gang, numbered at ten, then eleven, just like the new Justice League of America:

Lex Luthor
Deathstroke
Alex Nero
Zoom
Cheetah
Hector Hammond
Dr. Sivana
Dr. Light
Harley Quinn
Solomon Grundy

and The Penguin is the secret member that backs them with finances, weaponry, passports, support thugs, etc.

Because he wants revenge.

Deathstroke
Ultraman

Monarch
Ultra-Humanite
Killer Frost
Blackhand

I like the idea of Ultraman a lot.

And perhaps Saturn Queen as well.

Okay...:p :cool:

What do you think they do? Sit around and argue with each other?

Isn't villians finding ways to work together part of the fun of super-villain teams like the Injustice Gang? I mean, the Joker shouldn't really be able to work with anyone, and yet he has before with mixed results. You just need to put a master manipulator like Luthor in there to explain that problem away, although that idea has become fairly cliched too. Maybe let someone else be the evil mastermind next time?

That's like a list of masterminds... practically. I could see each of those handling their own team, maybe.

[Matt]

My roster:

Lex Luthor - The brains and default leader. Brings in the money and resources.

Sinestro - Cold and calculating powerhouse of the team. Ties to Qward allows interesting weapons to be brought in.

Faust - The bad guys need a magician and Faust is possibly the most dispicable of the lot.

Dr. Light - More powerful than he realises, as seen in the last JLA series he's a real powerhouse when under Luthor's direction.

The Calculator - Intel for the villains, electronic attacks on foes. To have a real chance of beating the JLA, the villains need good, solid intelligence and that's what the Calculator provides in spades.

The Cyborg - AKA Hank Henshaw. He's not all that bright and thus controlled by Lex Luthor - powerwise he's very useful, able to stalemate Superman at least for a while. His control of technology would be extremely useful.

This six would form the core of the Injustice Gang, with Luthor employing others as his plans and circumstances call for.

Possibilities but rejected:
Zoom - He's just too powerful. Far faster than any Flash, he'd be able to rip apart the JLA single handedly more or less. He's also not all that interested in world conquest or getting rich - he wants the heroes to be better which, while occassionally resulting in beating up the Flash, doesn't really mesh with IG motives.

Dr Polaris - Powerwise, he's perfect. Unfortunately he's too insane to work in the team.

Grodd - Simply wouldn't get along with Lex Luthor. Too many power plays to be as effective as he could be.

Deathstroke
Giganta
The Scarecrow
Bane
Star Sapphire
The Calculator
Dr. Psycho

It's more exciting if they are all working together against the JLA.

They could call themselves "The Society".

Was it Dr. Polaris who was killed by The Human Bomb in IC #1?

That was too bad, I thought he was a neat villain.

Cay

That's what I call them! How did you know? I'm being serious.

[Cayman]

Well, because they are all members of the Society except the real Luthor and Star Sapphire, unless she was resurrected.

Well, technically all the villains are...

That's why I went for one who weren't, with the exception of the General.

Okay, so good for you. Right now, I see a continuation of the Society taking on the JLA for a while.
