History

When Earth-Three's Alexander Luthor, in the guise of New Earth's Lex Luthor, created the current Secret Society in order to cultivate crime in advance of Infinite Crisis, the real Lex Luthor, then slightly insane due to heavy exposure to Kryptonite radiation, was outraged. Seeking to sabotage his impersonator, he adopted the persona of "Mockingbird" and began to gather a team of supervillains who he knew would resent the Society. His first recruit was Scandal Savage, daughter of the nearly-immortal Vandal Savage and a genius at organization. Then came Ragdoll III, the borderline-psychotic, hyperjointed son of cult leader Peter Merkel, the original Ragdoll, followed by a nameless Parademon. Mercenaries Deadshot and Cheshire followed, and the group was rounded out by the Fiddler, an aging supervillain who feared being forced into retirement by the Society. On their first mission, the team battled with H.I.V.E.; Bowin proved incapable of hypnotizing the H.I.V.E. agents, and was subsequently killed.

Seeking a new sixth member, Scandal learned through her lover Knockout (who was spying on the Society) that the Society had suffered slight humiliation when the formerly washed-up villain Catman turned them down, having found contentment as a killer of poachers in Africa. Mockingbird sent Deadshot over to slaughter Catman's beloved lions while disguised as Society member Deathstroke. Believing the Society to be responsible, Catman joined the Six.
