Crime Syndicate Of AmericaThe Crime Syndicate of America are a group of supervillains from one of DC Comics' universes. Hailing from Earth-Three, a world where the heroes are villains, the Crime Syndicate are the evil version of the Justice League, who rule their world with an iron fist. Their motto is "Cui Bono?" ("Who profits?"). The membership of the Crime Syndicate is Ultraman (Superman), Superwoman (Wonder Woman), Owlman (Batman), Johnny Quick (The Flash) and Power Ring (Green Lantern). Their archenemy is Alexander Luthor (Lex Luthor), who is that world's first and only superhero. Although Earth-Three and its inhabitants were destroyed in Crisis on Infinite Earths #1, a post-Crisis version appeared in JLA: Earth 2. Here their name was respelled to Crime Syndicate of Amerika. In a later issue of Superman, the new Ultraman and Superwoman had a child together. The JLA/Avengers crossover written by Kurt Busiek, confirmed that the anti-matter universe of Earth 2 was the same one the Weaponers of Qward (the evil counterparts to Guardians of the Universe) inhabited. The story seemed to involve the destruction of that universe, but this was later reversed when the series' villain, Krona, was defeated. The Crime Syndicate reappeared in Busiek's run on JLA. A team called Justice Lords, who combined elements of the Crime Syndicate and The Authority, appeared in an episode of the Justice League animated series.
