These members of the Secret Society of Super Villains were secretly gathered by Darkseid when the group was first founded in 1976 through their splintering after the discovery of their benefactor's true identity. Since then, various leaders like Lex Luthor, the Wizard and the Silver Ghost have taken over or re-formed the Society, including old and new members in the roster. In JLA #119 it was revealed that Catwoman was an early member of the SSOSV briefly as well. Also, it was revealed that Despero brought the memories of the members back, and was responsible of the subsequent attack of the Society.
When the JLA resurfaced with the Big Seven members, Brainwave started to gather a new Secret Society to take down the newly formed Justice League, but Brainwave was actually Martian Manhunter in disguise—the formation of this Society was a trap made by the League to defeat more supervillains in the same time. Members gathered by "Brainwave" were:
Organized by Alexander Luthor Jr. in the guise of Lex Luthor, the Society formed over rumors of the JLA mindwiping Dr. Light. With a ruling council of six members overseeing a structured roster of 200 strong, the Society is a grave threat to superheroes of the world. The Joker is notably absent from this roster, because he is the only villain the other villains all feared — and rightly so, as Joker murdered several of the Society's roster in revenge for being left out.

In an interview DC editor-in-chief Dan DiDio, he confirms that Boss Moxie did indeed die in Infinite Crisis #7 by stating that Superboy Prime snapped his neck.
Wizard's Society
Some former members of the Wizard's Secret Society, also victims of JLA's mindwiping in the past, had their memories unlocked by Despero and then were summoned back together for revenge by the Wizard. Zatanna reluctantly re-erased their memories of the JLA's identities. Whether they were members of Alexander Luthor Jr.'s Society as well is unknown. In addition to the Wizard, Felix Faust and Chronos the membership included:
One year after the events of Infinite Crisis, Calculator has taken control of the Society with Talia as the only other original leader left. Felix Faust and Cheetah, however, have also been linked to this group.
Libra's Society
In the lead-up to Final Crisis, the returned supervillainLibra takes the scattered remnants of Luthor's Secret Society and uses it to create his own Secret Society of Super Villains to serve Darkseid. The following are confirmed members so far.
In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity.
