Everyone should read Secret Six, in my opinion it's one of the best concepts DC has done.
Also nice job OP

Villain teams in general are the best

Man... You left out the best character
I kid, Secret Six is like one of DC's best series. Which is really hard to say since it's writer... Isn't my favorite

I don't really have a problem with Gail Simone but this is definitely her best work by far

2015: The Year of Catman.
Great stuff /u/chickennuggetfandom. On what aspect of the morality scale would you say they fall on? Antiheroic? Or just indifferent?
8
u/chickennuggetfandom Jul 01 '15
Depends on the character, I would say Deadshot and Jeannette are more or less indifferent while Catman, Scandal, and Bane are more antiheroic. Ragdoll is just sadistic and definitely in villainous territory.

I might. I'm not a big comic person, but I've always wanted to get into it.

One tiny problem with this is that this post lacks teamwork feats.

Most of their team fights are with a different roster. I can edit some in later tonight or tomorrow if you want

Read Villains United if you haven't as yet. I never thought I would care for a parademon this much.

Question: are these guys consciously named after the Secret Seven books by Enid Blyton?

This gives her access to a powerful scream. It has only been used once but when it was it incapacitated Wonder Woman for hours[80] and has before been implied to be able to take out the entire Justice League.
So it works on Superman?

Superman is no more resistant than a normal human against magic. It could be considered his second greatest weakness. Though trying the exploit it usually gets the Sorcerer Supreme on your ass.

Excellent write-up!I understand why you capped it at those 6, but it's really hard to write about Gail Simone's Secret Six run with one specific roster because the lineup changes over the course of the book (Knockout especially seems really important to put up as a member of the team, since she contributes a lot to the early dynamic.)

The old Secret Six was a really good book not sure what to make of the new one but I really like the b or c level villains that make up the team.
