[edit] Later members
- Shade - was an addidional member when a third formation formed during a teamup between the Justice Society and the Justice League.
- Solomon Grundy - joined a fourth formation led by the Icicle.
[edit] Injustice Unlimited
During what some described as the "anti-costumed-hero mania", (as chronicled in the DC mini-series Legends [1986]), the Wizard gathered both old comrades and new super-criminals into a new Injustice Society which he called Injustice Unlimited. The adventures of this incarnation were written in the pages of Infinity, Inc. #32-37 (1987) and #51-53 (1988), indeed, the criminal group seemed to be a mirror image of Infinity, Inc. which itself was an offshoot of the Justice Society. Later, this team returned to the original name.
