1 Day to #JusticeLeague for me, so I will Countdown my Top 3 Choices for a future Justice League Villain(s) - The Crime Syndicate of America (CSA)
Writer Gardner Fox, the creator of so many iconic characters and villains, and artist Mike Sekowsky created the Crime Syndicate of America for Justice League of America issue 29 in 1964, the original volume 1 of that comic. Now since then, various reboots have gone on including in 2000, 2007, and 2013. The original members were from Earth-3, a multiverse version of our normal superheroes world where all the super-powered beings are evil and rule as dictators, and the original team was Ultraman, Superwoman, Owlman, Power Ring, and Johnny Quick.
On their world, their are no heroes. They try to invade several times, are bound in deep space, are wiped from existence, return, and the plot gets much thicker as 21st Century comic book writing takes on more of a soap opera, very onion like multi-layered stories than the simple stories of the 1960 and even 1970s.

Since it's inception and in various multiverse realities, there have been an expansion to the original members including Grid, Deathstorm, Atomica, and Sea King. The main Trinity, though, Ultraman, Superwoman, and Owlman were involved in a tense love triangle with Lois Lane (Superwoman) both married to Ultraman (who kryptonite makes stronger) and having an affair with Owlman. Pregnant when her team makes an invasion in the latest storyline, telling both Ultraman and Owlman that they are the father of her unborn child. But, the only superhero from their world, Alexander Luthor, has become the anti-"Captain Marvel" or Shazam (known on Earth-3 as Mazahs) is revealed to be the father of her child, who is kidnapped at birth by Grail, the daughter of Darkseid born to an Amazon the same night as Diana, Wonder Woman, to become the vessel for a reborn Darkseid and whose parent, Superwoman is destroyed. Owlman was still at large as of the end of that story and has yet to resurface. A great, complex storyline that would see Superman vs evil Ultraman, Batman fighting Owlman (his big brother that never existed from the Affleck Batman), Sea King verses Aquaman, Wonder Woman takes on Superwoman. I'd pay $10 to see that on the big screen a few times and get the DVD, digital download version plus some swag.
