While the more well-known organizations opposing the Justice League and Justice Society, the Injustice Gang and the Injustice Society, had long established histories opposing their opposite numbers... they weren't the first. Or the only allied antagonist association which faced their Worlds' Greatest Heroes. Beside the Secret Society of Super-Villians, there was the Anti-Justice League and Degaton's henchmen, as well as various costumed criminals preceding their more famous successors.
Doctor Destiny and Per Degaton created proto-Injustice organizations assembling individual adversaries of each member of their worlds’ Justice alliances. Neither team gave itself a name and only operated together out of mutual convenience on one occasion. Degation’s minions included the one-time crime lord, the geneticist Elmer Pane aka King Bee, who’s counterpart Zazzala aka Queen Bee was the monarch of the Korrl. She would maintain her need for dominance, when she formed a rival to the Gang with her own League.
Indeed, years later Queen Bee and the Wizard developed their own distinct versions to their more famous crooked cadres of contemporaries. While the Queen’s Anti-Justice League formed only scant months after the evil Libra recruited his Injustice Gang, the Wizard’s first incarnation of the Injustice Society debuted a few months before its more enduring successor. And yet another version of this sinister society, also led by Wizard, appeared decades later to bedevil the children of the Justice Society known as Infinity, Inc. This one-time gang was known as Injustice Unlimited, mirroring the newer incarnation of the New Teen Titan’s foes.. the Brotherhood of Evil… who themselves lasted longer than its correlating team on the other Earth known as the Monster Society of Evil.
