☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the six-issue Villains United miniseries, a key prelude to DC's 2005-2006 Infinite Crisis event. Written by Gail Simone with art by Dale Eaglesham, the story follows the formation of the Secret Six, a team of reluctant villains—including Catman, Deadshot, and Scandal Savage—who rebel against the villainous society known as the Society, led by Lex Luthor. It sets the stage for the larger Countdown to Infinite Crisis storyline by exploring the fractured loyalties among DC's rogues gallery.
In "And Empires in Their Purpose," the Society’s growing influence draws ever more villains into its fold, while Mockingbird orchestrates a high-stakes strike against H.I.V.E. with his Secret Six. When Fiddler falls during the mission, Catman steps in—shifting the team’s dynamics just as tensions escalate across the battlefield.
In "A Fire in the Steppes," the Secret Six are drawn into a deadly trap at a remote weapons stock, only to be ambushed by a ruthless coalition of Society villains. With Catman captured and the Crime Doctor closing in, the team must survive a brutal interrogation that hinges on a mystery tied to Mockingbird—before the fire in the steppes consumes them all.
In "Privileged to Spill Her Blood," the Secret Six are captured and subjected to brutal individual torture by the Society, their suffering meant to break them and deter any wavering loyalty among the villains. When Catman escapes, he frees the others, turning the tables in a swift, brutal uprising that leaves the Society reeling. The Six make their point with a chilling act of retribution—demonstrating they are no longer just pawns, but a force to be feared.
In "A Weapon to Unify," the Secret Six launch a high-stakes assault on a Society stronghold in Brasilia, where the villainous collective is harnessing two powerful superhuman energy sources to execute a devastating plan: erasing the minds of every superhero on Earth. With Catman, Deadshot, Cheshire, and the rest of the team pushing through deadly defenses, the mission becomes less about destruction and more about confronting the chilling scale of the Society’s ambition—and the uneasy alliances it forces.
In "Victims of Aggression," the fractured Secret Six—Catman, Deadshot, Scandal, Ragdoll, and the departing Cheshire—teeter on the edge of collapse, their trust shattered by betrayal, when a massive horde of Society villains descends upon the House of Secrets. With tensions high and loyalties in question, the team must confront not only their enemies but the growing rift within their own ranks.
In "At the End of All Things," the Secret Six face their deadliest challenge yet as the Society unleashes a final, overwhelming assault. With Cheshire's betrayal leaving them short, Scandal’s unexpected alliance with Vandal Savage—and the shocking reveal that Mockingbird is Lex Luthor of this Earth—tests their resolve. As Parademon falls and the Six barely escape, their survival becomes a warning: the war isn’t over, and the truth behind the Society’s plan is just beginning to unfold.
