Injustice Gang - First Formation

First Formation

The original Injustice Gang's membership consisted of:

• Libra
• Chronos (David Clinton)
• Mirror Master (Sam Scudder)
• Poison Ivy
• Scarecrow
• Shadow Thief
• Tattooed Man (Abel Tarrant)

By the end of the first appearance, it is revealed that their entire operation was massive feint by their organizer, Libra, to test a power-stealing device. A series of "Plan B" devices the villains had been given in case the JLA defeats them absorbs half of the heroes' powers and transfers them to Libra. Satisfied with the results, he then turns his device upon the universe itself, hoping to become a god. Instead, Libra is absorbed into the universe itself, effectively disintegrating him and spreading his essence across the cosmos. The JLA later modifies the android Amazo to recover their lost powers.

The villainous Construct regroups all of the members save the Shadow-Thief, as well as a mentally-controlled Wonder Woman; the Construct is destroyed and the Injustice Gang's satellite is apparently destroyed. Later, Abra Kadabra reforms the gang yet again with all prior members when the alien Ultraa causes superheroes to lose their powers while villains' abilities are increased. This time, the Gang takes over the Justice League's original headquarters in Happy Harbor, Rhode Island, but are once again routed.

In a story set between the first and second appearances of Libra's Injustice Gang but published more recently, another version of the group appears. The members of this Gang include:

• Captain Boomerang
• Floronic Man
• I.Q.
• Shark (Karshon)
• Ocean Master
• Abra Kadabra

Despite being seen destroyed in an earlier story, the Injustice Gang's satellite later reappeared during the Identity Crisis miniseries, now a shabby clubhouse for villains in-between schemes. It is also a place of business for a gang of mercenary supervillains headed by Calculator. In the miniseries, Merlyn, the criminal nemesis of Green Arrow, openly states his derision of the name Injustice Gang, saying, "Some try to be a bit more professional".The satellite also appeared in the first DC/Marvel crossover, when Lex Luthor and Doctor Octopus used it as the location from which they would blackmail the world, with Superman and Spider-Man only just managing to defeat them.
