Fatal Five
The Fatal Five is a supervillain team of the 30th century in the DC Comics universe. They were created by Jim Shooter and first appeared in Adventure Comics #352 (1967) as enemies of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
The Fatal Five first appear in The Death of Ferro Lad story arc, as a band of criminals whom the Legion recruited to help destroy the Sun-Eater, consisting of the Emerald Empress, Mano, the Persuader, and Validus, and led by Tharok. The five are offered pardons for their assistance, but reject them and band together, confident that they are powerful enough to try to conquer the worlds they had saved.
A later incarnation consisted of the Emerald Empress; the Persuader; Flare, a Rimborian with the power of fire; Caress, who has a deadly acidic touch; and Mentalla, a Legion reject who is secretly working against the Five, trying to secure a spot in the Legion.
The 1993 series Legionnaires has the SW6 Legion face a Fatal Five comprising Tharok, Mano, the Persuader, a new Emerald Empress, and a monstrous being called Mordecai.
Following Zero Hour: Crisis in Time!, which reboots the Legion's continuity, the original Fatal Five are reintroduced in Legion of Super-Heroes (vol. 4) #78 (1996), again assembled to help fight the Sun-Eater, which was later revealed to not exist. In this incarnation, the Emerald Empress is simply called the "Empress" and is more a skilled melee combatant than a magic user.
In the Teen Titans/Legion of Super-Heroes crossover, the Persuader uses his atomic axe to recruit alternate universe variants of the Fatal Five, forming the Fatal Five-Hundred, before the two teams use the Cosmic Treadmill to return them to their original universes.
All five Fatal Five members were among the supervillains in Superman-Prime's Legion of Super-Villains.
In DC Rebirth, the Emerald Empress comes to the 21st century to destroy Saturn Girl, only to also fight Supergirl. To combat Supergirl after failing to take her down on her own, she forms a version of the Fatal Five consisting of Magog, Brainiac 8, the sorceress Selena, and a clone of Solomon Grundy.
