Lex Luthor is able to defeat him once he is back to Alexander Luthor and then kills him. Ultraman begins attacking Lex. As he does, Black Adam and Sinestro move the moon causing Ultraman to be hit with the sun, weakening him. Atomica reappears from underneath rubble only for Lex Luthor to kill her by stepping on her. Lex Luthor rejoins the heroes and saves Superman by removing the Kryptonite placed in his brain by Atomica. In the aftermath, Ultraman and Superwoman are captured with Owlman still on the loose. It is later revealed that the entity that destroyed the Crime Syndicate's world is the Anti-Monitor , who declares " Darkseid shall be mine.
In the Darkseid War story in Justice League , Cyborg and Jessica Cruz, who has partially learned to harness Power Ring's Ring of Volthoom, seek out Superwoman in her maximum security prison for guidance on how to deal with the Anti-Monitor, who has killed Darkseid and now threatens all of existence. Seizing the opportunity to reunite the Synidcate, Volthoom seizes control of Jessica's body and when Cyborg attempts to interface with the ring, has the "Grid" personality reuploaded and placed in control of his armor. As the trio plot to reunite with Ultraman, the heretofore-missing Owlman shows up and declares that the League and Syndicate must work together to stop Anti-Monitor.
The following five members founded the original Crime Syndicate of America and have appeared in all additional iterations of the team:. The CSA's post- Crisis world is primarily governed by the "favor bank"; the only rule that is not consistently broken. If any person should grant a favor for someone else, that person is entitled to compensation whenever they see fit, no matter what the cost or hardship to the latter. Failure to pay back a favor results in inordinately harsh consequences; as seen in the beginning of "Syndicate Rules".
A mobster, Jackson "Rat-Eyes" Drake, who failed to follow up on a favor owed, was put on "trial" by Owlman, who then had him incinerated by Ultraman as a favor. A team of Qwardians based on the then-current Justice League International roster appeared on the post- Crisis , pre- Zero Hour Earth, although they did not call themselves the Crime Syndicate even through their predecessors Qwardian versions of the original Syndicate did.

It is not clear if any of these characters exist in post- Zero Hour or post- Infinite Crisis continuity. In addition to the five founding members, The New 52 version of the team introduces four new members:. The Crime Syndicate appeared in the Justice League: This version of the Crime Syndicate is based on actual crime syndicates , consisting of different families and bosses.
Below them are lower-tier villains called the Made Men who were granted superpowers by the "Bosses" in exchange for joining the Syndicate. Surviving members briefly seen in the film include Jester this Earth's version of Joker , and Harley the Jester's pet monkey.
World's Most Dangerous, Chapter Three: The Forest and the Trees
The President of the United States in this world is famed war hero and former government agent Slade Wilson who is depicted as missing his left eye rather than his right. President Wilson is reluctant to speak out against the Syndicate due to being afraid of what they would do to his daughter Rose and it is implied that his wife was killed by the Crime Syndicate for similar reasons.
During one of Rose's speeches against the Crime Syndicate, the Crime Syndicate sends Archer to assassinate her, only to be defeated by Martian Manhunter and arrested by the authorities. The Crime Syndicate leaders were not pleased with the news of Archer's arrest. Following the deaths of Owlman and Johnny Quick, the Syndicate's remaining leaders are arrested by the Marines led by President Wilson, who sees to it that his world's law enforcement hunts down and arrests the remaining Crime Syndicate members.
Although the Syndicate itself does not appear in the Teen Titans television series , a similar team, the Teen Tyrants , appear in issue 48 of the comic spin-off. Their costumes are all colored with black and red to show their violent, gothic, corrupt nature and willingness to kill. There appearances are similar to their counterparts with a few differences. Red Robin's eyes are red, and he sports a red version of his counterpart's costume albeit with a large grey "R" across his chest ; Tempest wears a costume that his counterpart wears much later, has a hook in place of his left hand and has shorter hair; Arsenal has an "A" on his belt buckle and has a goatee; Red Raven wears a red version of her counterpart's costume and has pink hair; Blackfire wears red instead of purple and has black hair.
There are no evil counterparts of Cyborg or Beast Boy despite both of them being part of the Teen Titans. The Teen Tyrants appear when Raven attempts to send Killowat back to his own time, but he is accidentally sent to the Teen Tyrants' dimension where they have conquered Jump City.
He is held captive after being assumed of being part of the Brotherhood of Justice the parallel Earth Brotherhood of Evil but non-villainous. The Teen Titans travel to that dimension to rescue him, but once they step through the portal, they fight the Tyrants and are defeated. The Teen Tyrants attempt to conquer their counterparts' universe until Blackfire reveals that she is working undercover for the Brotherhood of Justice, whom she summons, and they help the Titans defeat the Tyrants.
Killowat is then freed and sent back to his dimension.

Tower of Babel " " JLA: Act of God JLA: Age of Wonder JLA: Elsewhere, Vibe has arrived early at A. His call with his brother Dante is interrupted by the arrival of the beautiful young Stargirl , who makes him nervous by her presence alone. The latter makes Vibe uncomfortable, as he is covered in blood, which he insists is not his.
Soon, Trevor arrives, and explains that they will all be meeting with the president soon, with Stargirl as their spokesperson - all except for Catwoman, whose criminal record has not yet been fully wiped, and as such, she must remain an unofficial member of the team. The absent Green Lantern , meanwhile, is off-planet, and will not be joining them either. As they leave, Trevor warns Catwoman to be good while they're gone, and in response, she kisses him on the mouth - for luck, she claims. Annoyed, Trevor warns her not to do it again, while she simply smirks. Unbeknownst to him, she stole his wallet, and inside it, she finds a photo of him with Wonder Woman.
The photo reminds her that while Wonder Woman ended her relationship with Trevor, Batman had similarly warned her that their relationship would never work, either. From his mansion, the man who saved the Scarecrow watches the JLA's meeting with the president, in which Stargirl's speech centres around the story of American hero John Chapman - aka Johnny Appleseed. He is interrupted by a call from Professor Ivo , explaining that Scarecrow has been returned to Gotham, but the intruder at the mansion - the disguised Green Arrow - managed to escape.
Later, Steve has the Martian Manhunter enter Green Arrow's subconscious to retrieve what information they can about the Secret Society. Oliver's subconscious tries to fight him at first, but eventually he manages to access the memories. Oliver had taken on a disguise, posing as a criminal. Someone had been searching for the perfect thief for an impossible job, and he had presented himself as the candidate for that job. He was kidnapped and greeted by a strange man in an empty room. Using a hidden arrowhead, he managed to escape his bonds and ran, but he was attacked by the Justice League, who seemed as though they were made of metal.
Oliver wakes to find Steve Trevor standing over him, having overheard Steve say the word "team. Unfortunately, Oliver cannot be a part of that team; all spots are full.
Collapsing back against his pillow, Oliver claims that Steve has sold out. Leading the team through the Kielder Forest , Steve tries to retrace Oliver's footsteps.
