The Legion of Super-Villains is a team of supervillains who appear in comic books published by DC Comics, primarily as enemies of the Legion of Super-Heroes.

The creation of the Legion of Super-Heroes was part of that plan, and in the Legion's fourth appearance ("The Army of Living Kryptonite Men" in '' Superboy'' #86, Jan 1961), it was suggested that Lex Luthor would someday lead a group of super-villains. This would come to fruition seven months later, in ''Superman'' #147's story "The Legion of Super-Villains". Fictional team history In pre-'' Crisis on Infinite Earths'' continuity, the Legion of Super-Villains was founded by Tarik the Mute, who had suffered irreparable damage t ...
