Countdown Day 2 - Justice League Villain (SSoSV)

2 Days to #JusticeLeague for me, so I will Countdown my Top 3 Choices for a future Justice League Villain - Secret Society of Super Villains (SSoSV).  
The Society was the idea of writer Gerry Conway and  Pablo Marcus did the art for the first appearance of the group in the May-June 1976 issue of their own self-titled series.  This Secret Society was formed to battle an android Darkseid.  It consisted of Lex Luthor, the Wizard, Gorilla Grodd and others.  
By 1980s the Secret Society of Super-Villains (SSoSV) had Rag Doll, Cheetah, Killer Frost, Signalman, Brain Wave, Psycho Pirate with the Ultra-Humanite as their leader and they almost completely defeated both the Justice League and Justice Society.
The next group in DC's New 52 universe had Black Adam, Lex Luthor, Deathstroke, and the Calculator.  Then came the version of the team, just called The Society, lead by The Outsider and this Society had over 500 super-villain members around the globe and was to assist the invading Crime Syndicate from Earth-3, as The Outsider turned out to be the Earth-3 Alfred Pennyworth, butler of Thomas Wayne, Jr., Crime Syndicate member Owlman.
