Injustice Society

The Injustice Society (a.k.a. the Injustice Society of the World) is a group of supervillains in the DC Comics Universe. They are the main antagonists of the Justice Society of America.

The Injustice Society first appears in All Star Comics #37 (October 1947) and was created by Sheldon Mayer and Robert Kanigher. The original group brought together six popular villains from Flash Comics, Green Lantern, and All Star Comics: Thinker, Gambler, Vandal Savage, Wizard, Per Degaton, and Brain Wave.

The Injustice Society appear on the DC Universe and CW show Stargirl as the main antagonists of the first season, with some members also appearing in its second season.

The initial incarnation of the Injustice Society is founded in the 1940s, led by the Wizard, and consists of Vandal Savage, Per Degaton, the Thinker, the Gambler, and Brain Wave. Fragmenting into individual efforts, the ISW attacks numerous government facilities, with each member of the group being assigned to capture a member of the JSA. After Hawkman, Doctor Mid-Nite, the Flash, and the Atom are captured, Green Lantern arrives in Uthorium Town just as the armed forces are closing in on the criminals who control the city. Suddenly, the town disappears in a flash of light. Green Lantern begins a search for the criminal army when he discovers the town has re-appeared a few miles away, and the felons are looting uthorium from a lab. Green Lantern zooms in for the attack when Brainwave appears and blinds him with uthorium. Green Lantern forms an energy bubble for protection while Brainwave and his men finish their job. Recovering later, Green Lantern discovers a radioactive uthorium trail and follows it, discovering Brainwave inside a glass box. When Green Lantern fires a blast of energy at the box, it reflects off the box and knocks him off a cliff. The rest of the JSA are put on "trial", with Thinker as the judge and the Wizard as prosecutor. The JSA are sentenced to death, but are rescued by Green Lantern, who has survived and disguised himself as the Thinker. The JSA defeat defeated the Injustice Society, with the Wizard being caught by a group of children who idolized the Justice Society called the Junior Justice Society.

The second incarnation of the Injustice Society is introduced in the late 1940s, formed by Wizard and consisting of Fiddler, Harlequin, Huntress, Icicle, and Sportsmaster. They steal national monuments, hoping the American people will vote for the best crime allowing that person to become the leader, and succeeding in erasing the Society's memories after capturing them by the Sportsmaster knocking them out with one of his bombs. Harlequin turns against the group and Black Canary restores the Justice Society's memories, though a post-hypnotic impulse restores the JSA to their mindless states when they hear fingers snapping, causing them to be recaptured. But their memories are restored again after they are placed in a death chamber, leading to Black Canary becoming a proper member.

The Injustice Society reforms during the 1970s to try and eliminate the reformed Justice Society in two instances. The first attempt is during the annual JLA/JSA team-ups where the Wizard (leader), alongside Sportsmaster, Huntress, Gambler, Shade, and Icicle hypnotize Cary Bates of Earth-Prime into working alongside them as a villain after he accidentally activates Flash's Cosmic Treadmill and is transported to Earth-Two. Elliot S. Maggin and the JLA find Bates after he travels to Earth-One to ask Justice League members Batman, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Flash, and Hawkman to help him find Bates. The JLA are defeated by the Injustice Society after being tricked into "killing" JSA members Robin, Wonder Woman, Wildcat, Johnny Thunder, Hourman and Doctor Mid-Nite disguised as the Injustice Society after the JSA was defeated by Bates. It took the Spectre to revive the JSA using his Ring of Life and the JLA removing the mental block they received after the JSA's deaths to defeat Bates and the Injustice Society. Bates and Maggin are returned to Earth-Prime, while the Injustice Society are returned to prison on Earth-Two.

The second attempt happens on Earth-Two itself. First, the Fiddler fetches Solomon Grundy and defeats Wildcat and Hawkman, but they are defeated by Superman of Earth-Two and Power Girl.

Vandal Savage tricks the JSA into aiding a false Camelot while Icicle, Thinker, Wizard, and Brainwave capture Wildcat and the Hourman. The Thinker and the Icicle are defeated by Doctor Fate, Hawkman, and Jay Garrick, while the Wizard and Brainwave are defeated by Power Girl and the Star-Spangled Kid. The Wizard leaves the Injustice Society for Earth-One, where he joins the Secret Society of Super-Villains.
