The Legion of Black Orchid was formed modeling themselves after their inspiration, the superheroine of the same name. When race car driver Ronnie Kuhn was nducted into the Legion, she quickly became tied to their criminal schemes. The other members were astrophysicist Stefanie Tower, Olympic gymnast and acrobat Barbie Henders, criminologist Janet Grant, psychologist and martial artist Lisa Patrick, and their leader molecular chemist Karen Jensen. These fearsome five females planned to stage a crime at the World Bank.
Realizing that Ronnie's father was the bank's president, they use her to gain inside information in accessing the World Bank Building. Once inside, she's quickly tied up by her fellow Legionnaires once she realizes they're carrying explosives on them. Thankfully, Lisa Patrick had been captured by the real Black Orchid, who disguised herself as Patrick. Together with Ronnie, the true Black Orchid defeats the Legion. Patrick would later seek revenge.
The Sacred Order of the Crimson Crystal was formed by a mysterious "swami" who enlisted wealthy women in thefts. Black Canary became involved when she found a murdered woman in the flower shop of her alter ego, Dinah Drake. When her frequent partner and budding romantic interest Larry Lance was kidnapped, she pursued the cult. During the course of battle with the women, Canary freed the private investigator and discovered this Order was formed under false pretenses, revealing its swami to be racketeer Bullet Benn.
