''Writer’s Note: Inspired by DC Comics’ Convergence storyline, am consolidating the various mythologies related to the Legion of Doom into a coherent description for use in the Icons game campaign. As with all write-ups I’m doing, am basing this off of the various animated series and films such as Challenge of the Superfriends and Justice League: Doom.''

Team Information

The Legion of Doom is a vicious group of supervillains whose objective is the destruction of all superheroes and to rule all of Earth. Unlike the Justice League of America or Teen Titans, the Legion of Doom is not a cohesive unit and is more comparable to a loose network of villains that work with each other temporarily towards a common objective. Although there is no official leader of the organization, most of the villains affiliated with it consider either Lex Luthor or Gorilla Grodd as their leader since it was they who founded it and provide the majority of the technology and other critical resources.

The Legion of Doom is filled with personal grudges, rivalries, and competing agendas that are often resolved only through Gorilla Grodd or Lex Luthor, who themselves are rivals in terms of controlling the organization.

In addition to the Legion of Doom led by Lex Luthor and Gorilla Grodd, there has also been more than one incarnation of the Legion of Doom, one of which was formed by the immortal megalomaniac Vandal Savage who recruited Cheetah, Malefic, Mirror Master, Metallo, and Bane for a brief period of time.
