Love the headdress on Clea.
So according to an article I read, Villainy Inc is the first super-villain team (as in a group of villains made of up of characters introduced individually before bringing them all back as a team). Is there any truth to this claim?
The Injustice Society got there before them in 1947 in All-Star Comics.
And so did Captain Marvel Adventures with The Monsters Society of Evil. But I don’t think every member was introduced separately before appearing in that group.
So I guess you could argue Villainy Inc. was the first villain team to appear in a superhero’s solo comic, where every villain had been introduced in separate stories before forming a team. (Besides them being the first female villain team of corse.)

There was a group called The Hand, iirc, that was an enemy of the Seven Soldiers of Victory that pre-dates Villainy Inc and the Monster Society of Evil (usually the other claimant to the title of first).
Though yes, like I’m a Fish said. Villainy Inc is the first one where everyone on the team debuted before the group coming together.
Of course villains team up/interacting wasn’t entirely new. Joker and Catwoman and then Joker and Penguin had team ups in issues of Batman.
Yup~ I recall back in the golden age Wonder Woman even commenting that Clea was stronger than she was during a fight. Marstons take on the Atlanteans was that they could essentially do anything the Amazons could do.
I think all Jiminez added with his adaption was giving her the ability to breath underwater.

Queen Clea is such a great character - a fantastic foe for Diana and/or Hippolyta.
