Soon after four Justice Leaguers and one Teen Titans of Earth-One formed a team to train youngsters to become heroes, five supervillians followed suit. And so were born the Super Friends and Super Foes. Super Friends Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Batman and Robin mentored Wendy Harris and Marvin White.
Meanwhile, each of the Super Foes took an adolscent under his or her wing. For Penguin it was Chick, for Toyman it was Toyboy, for Poison Ivy, it was Honeysuckle, for Cheetah it was Kitten and for the Human Flying Fish it was Sardine.
Unlike the Super Friends, who successfully guided not only Wendy and Marvin but later Zan and Jayna to become junior superheroes, the Super Foes were failures. Given their wicked tendencies, the adult Foes were ultimately attacked by their young sidekicks.
On Earth-Two, that world's Penguin and Cheetah also attempted to recruit junior minions, who likewise rebuffed those criminals. The golden age Toyman never explicitly trained a sidekick, although he employed Kid Kale to assist him. As for Poison Ivy and the Human Flying Fish, these two also aspired to train a second generation in Honeysuckle and Sardine, while this lass and lad had equivalents on Earth-Two who were henchwomen of Princess Maru, also known as Doctor Poison.
The Super-Foes had a corresponding gang known as Villany Inc. They were formed when Eviless, leader of a female militia from the planet Saturn-Two, were captured after attempting to subjegate the inhabitants of Earth-Two. Sent to the Amazon's Transformation/Reformation Island in order to be rehabilitated, Eviless feigned death to enable her to take control of her captors including Wonder Woman and her mother Hppolyte. Soon, she learned of other fellow prominent prisoners, all former foes of Wonder Woman.
Declaring their loose-knit group would be called Villany, Inc., its membership included Cheetah, Doctor Poison, Giganta, Queen Clea, Blue Snow Man, Hyponta, and Zara. These eight femme fatale were a formidable opposition to Princess Diana and her fellow Amazonians, as they along with Eviless' fellow Saturnians overpowered Diana's sisters. Only four of their number ultimately escaped the island and returned to America, and all of them eventually were defeated by Wonder Woman and her Amazonian allies.
Of note is that both the Super Foes and Villany, Inc. had among their number their world's version of Priscilla Rich aka the Cheetah, as well as counterparts Poison Ivy and Doctor Poison. This would be the final appearance in costume of the Earth-One Cheetah, as her alter ego would succumb to an illness ending her life, with her successor Debbi Domaine replacing her as the Cheetah. As for the Earth-Two Cheetah, she would return again and again for rematches with Wonder Woman throughout the 1940's.
Poison Ivy abandoned the Super Foes for two other criminal organizations in the Injustice Gang and the Secret Society of Super-Villains, seeking revenge against her old foe Batman and new foe Wonder Woman. Doctor Poison retired from villany, apparently rehabilitated on Transformation Island as she never donned her green smock again. Both worlds' Penguins and Toymen continued to operate, while the Human Flying Fish and his counterpart the Seaman of Earth-Two were one-hit-wonders.
