Who's Who in the Superman Comics

The Crime Syndicate

From another dimension, The Crime Syndicate is an evil consortium of Earth's most powerful super criminals. Consisting of a roster that mirrors the heroic Justice League of America, its membership includes:

Ultraman, who possesses ultra strength and ultra speed. He can also fly, and gains a new power whenever he is exposed to Kryptonite.

Superwoman, a renegade Amazon warrior, whose powers and abilities match those of Wonder Woman. The Evil Amazon even has her own magic lasso.

Owlman, a brilliant criminal strategist. His great mind has allowed him to craft some of the greatest devices and vehicles used to counter good.

Johnny Quick, an arrogant super speedster, who can easily race with The Flash.

Power Ring, who uses his evil mystical green ring to dominate his foes. Given to him by an insane holy man, Power Ring is an evil counterpart of Green Lantern.

The Crime Syndicate has battled both the JLA and the JSA to standstills. If not for powerful members like The Martian Manhunter, Dr. Fate, and Starman, The Crime Syndicate would have defeated both heroic alliances.
