    Default Create a super VILLAIN team based on the Pantheon of the Gods...

    I'm kind of obsessed with Morrison's Pantheon of the Greek Gods take in the JLA. So it hit me it might be interesting to apply the same thing to the Legion of Doom/Injustice League/Injustice Gang/Secret Society of Super Villains (which ever name you prefer).

    So come up with a super villain team where each member is a stand-in for the Olympian gods:

    Zues
    Hera
    Poseidon
    Hades
    Hermes
    Apollo
    Artemis
    Hephestus
    Aphrodite
    Dionysus
    Ares
    Athena
    Demeter

    I few that pop into my head immediately are:

    Zues = Black Adam (or maybe Luthor)
    Poseidon = Ocean Master
    Hermes = Reverse Flash
    Ares = Deathstroke
    Demeter = Poison Ivy

    I'm still thinking about the rest.

    Anyway, look forward to your takes. Thanks!

    I'd use more from the pantheon of the underworld:


    Hades King of the Underworld, God of the Dead
    Macaria (Makaria) leader of the blessed dead daughter of Hades.
    Charon Ferryman of the Dead
    Cronus the King of Elysium
    Erinyes Goddesses of Vengeance
    Hecate Goddess of Magic & Ghosts
    Chthonic Hermes Guide of the Dead
    Hypnus God of Sleep
    Moirae Goddesses of Fate
    Nyx Goddess of the Night
    Persephone Queen of the Underworld, Goddess of the Dead
    Thanatus God of Death
    Cerberus the Hound of Hades
    AEACUS (Aiakos) Judges of the dead
    Askalaphos Underworld Daemon
    Lamiai Underworld Daimones vampires in the forms of beautiful women.
    STYX goddess of the underworld river of hate
    Lethe The goddess of the river of oblivion (forgetfulness, despair)
    Tartaro[u]s god of the dark pits of "hell"

    I was thinking of something like this, but my Greek Gods knowledge stops at junior high. Feel frree to enlighten. I like learning.

    Right after I posted I was thinking Black Adam should be Hades! I'd thought of Talia al Ghul for Hera, and then realized how well 'The Society' line up was handled.

    Why Metallo as Apollo, btw?

    So for me, I'm going with:

    Zeus - Lex Luthor
    Hades - Black Adam
    Hermes - Reverse-Flash
    Artemis - Cheetah
    Ares - Deathstroke
    Demeter - Poison Ivy

    And I'll add:

    Aphrodite - Star Sapphire/Nol-Anj

    I started thinking of King Shark for Poseidon just because outside of stories about Atlantis, Orm always seems a bit useless. Plus, the team does need a 'Big Guy'.

    For Hera I'd thought of Talia Al Ghul or Circe, but then started really liking the idea of Granny Goodness. Then I thought Granny Goodness might make a better Athena, but I like the idea of Lady Shiva for Athena. So, now I have to think.

    For Hephaestus I originally thought of Dr. Sivanna, but I wanted someone who'd be out in the feild. Then i thought of Cyborgirl, but I don't think she invents her own stuff, so now I'm leaning towards Gizmo.

    Dionysus and Apollo are stumping me.

    I was trying to think of "sun villain" and struggling so I went with Metallo since he's kind of anti-Apollo in that he can weaken a being who derives their power from the sun (Superman).
    Aphrodite - Star Sapphire/Nol-Anj
    Can't believe I didn't think of Star Sapphire for Aphrodite. She makes way more sense.
