Villainy Inc.

Pre-Crisis

Villainy Incorporated consisted of eight villains individually sentenced to prison on the Amazon penal colony. They were freed of their imprisonment and their talents pulled together by the evil Saturnian slaver, Eviless. Under her leadership they attacked Wonder Woman, but were defeated and returned to .

The team consisted of:

• Blue Snowman (Byrna Brilyant) - A woman disguised as a man who uses the invention of "blue snow," a special form of precipitation that freezes everything it touches.

• Cheetah (Priscilla Rich) - A debutante and thief, whose terrible feeling of inferiority periodically causes her Cheetah self to seize control of her personality.

• Doctor Poison (Princess Maru) - Leader of a Nazi spy ring whose ultimate goal was to wreak havoc in the US Army by contaminating the army's water with "reverso," a drug that "confuses the brain center, making soldiers do the exact opposite of what they’re told."

• Giganta - An ape who is artificially evolved into a human strongwoman by Professor Zool.

• Hypnota - A stage magician who conceals her gender via masculine costume and false facial hair, who has the ability to mesmerize others with a glance.

• Queen Clea - The cruel blonde monarch who is the ruler of the Atlantean nation of Venturia - a subsea realm situated somewhere beneath the bottom of the ocean.

• Zara - Priestess of the Crimson Flame.

Later, Hippolyta's daughter Diana traveled back in time and discovered Queen Clea and her mother in battle. Clea was defeated by Diana (who disguised herself as Miss ) with help from Clea's own daughter, Ptra.

Queen Clea was not seen again for many years, save once. With a host of other villains, she allied with King Kull against the Justice league and Justice Society. She and her subjects fought alongside Blockbuster, but were easily defeated. [it has not yet been revealed if this event has remained in continuity.]

Post-Crisis

Due to the retcons springing out of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the group's history began when they first menaced Hippolyta, who traveled back in time and became the Wonder Woman of the Golden Age. Cheetah, Zara, Doctor Poison and Hypnotic Woman (formerly Hypnota) were assembled by Queen Clea [It has not been revealed if Eviless or Blue Snowman were members, and Giganta was retconned into a modern-age villainess who joined later].

Atlantean monarch of the city Venturia enlisted the others to conquer her rival city, Aurania. They were repeatedly foiled by Hippolyta.

In recent times, when all of Atlantis disappeared from the Earth, Clea again set out to conquer a land to rule. She assembled a new Villainy, Inc. consisting of:

• Cyborgirl (LeTonya Charles) - The niece of Dr. Sarah Charles, who required emergency surgery after a reaction to the "super-steroid" Tar. Her cybernetic implants give her all the same abilities as Victor Stone (Cyborg), but she has none of his sense of responsibility.

• Doctor Poison - The grandchild of the original Doctor Poison who continues her grandmother's grudge against Wonder Woman, though she holds her grandmother in contempt.

• Giganta (Doris Zuel) - A scientist whose mind was transferred first into the body of an ape, and later into the body of a circus strongwoman. She has the ability to grow in size, and she is now a modern-age villainess and did not exist in the Golden Age.

• Jinx - An elemental sorceress whose powers include the ability to command elements such as air, the manipulation of magical energy that she can manifest as offensive force bolts and green flame, the ability to dissolve matter, and create ground tremors.

• Trinity - A woman with three faces which are Time, War, and Chaos with each face possessing its own power.

Together they descended upon the other-dimensional Skartaris. Queen Clea used Cyborgirl to take control of the entire dimension. Her entire plan, however, was commandeered by Trinity. Trinity was in fact revealed to be a virus, engineered by the founders of Skartaris. When the "Trinity Virus" was reintroduced into Skartaris' governing computer system, the whole land began to regress and "devolve" to its origins. Wonder Woman managed to stop the process from becoming permanent, but still, some of Skartaris' inhabitants (including Clea) were lost in the de-evolution .

Villainy Inc., as a group, has not appeared since then and do not exist in the post 52 world as far as we know bar Giganta.
