The Legion of Doom

== Overview ==
The Legion of Doom is a super-villain group that has gone by a number of different aliases - but each time has been believed to have been assembled by Gorilla Grodd. They are believed to all be in association with the criminal cabal the Light - although whether they know they are associated or not has yet to be determined.
== History ==
The first iteration of the Legion of Doom was known as the Injustice Gang, and came to be sometime in the latter half of 2003. Their first mission as a team was the successful kidnapping of the Justice League founders on December 31st, 2003, as they were each headed to the Hall of Justice to commemorate the team's new members. The captured Leaguers were then held hostage on Roanoke Island, where Felix Faust was set to perform some kind of body swapping ritual on them. Thankfully, the newest class of Leaguers, Firestorm, Black Canary, Atom, Hawkman, Hawkwoman, Elongated Man, and Captain Atom stepped up to the plate and foiled the attack. Peculiarly, the seven villains could not recall who their benefactor was - suggesting possible mental tampering.
The second iteration came about as a team of fall guys for the Light. While this team never had an official name, during their brief tenure they were coined "the Injustice League". This team of seven executed simultaneous global attacks using artificially enhanced plant monsters on October 1st, 2006, distracting the public while the Light pulled off low level heists. This team was successfully defeated by the first class of Titans, proving they could hold their own against some heavy hitters. This team operated out of the Hall of Doom, constructed on Roanoke Island.
The third iteration of the Legion was assembled from 2007 into 2009. Sometime during this period, Gorilla Grodd became an ally of Brainiac, using the remains of his technology from his attempted invasion of Earth to brainwash several villains into thinking a nuclear apocalypse was upon them, and convincing them to act as heroes to save the Earth, while also employing a B-Team of enforcers who took out key Justice League members. Eventually, Brainiac was revealed as the perpetrator, causing most of the team to turn on Grodd, and help the League stop the attempted invasion.
The fourth and current team remains mostly unknown. While it is believed that their leader is Grodd, that has yet to be confirmed. Instead, villains have begun assembling in the Hall of Doom and have become a profit-sharing group, allowing villains mutually assured protection as well as resource sharing. Their relationship to the Light remains unknown as well.
== Trivia ==
* While the 4th Iteration usually meets at the Hall of Doom, safehouses are marked by the logo shown above. In addition, the symbol can also be worn by villains at typical meeting spots like bars and clubs to signify a mutual allegiance.
* It is highly suspected that Lex Luthor has become a co-leader of the team with Gorilla Grodd after his impeachment, possibly allowing them use of his property in the Florida Marsh.
== Notes ==
* This team is a composite of several supervillain teams and their actions are nods to iterations of them in media like the Young Justice TV Show, the comic book series Justice, and Grodd's Secret Society in Justice League Unlimited.
