Crime Syndicate

History
The Crime Syndicate is an organization of supervillains from a parallel Earth. Relative to the main universe, they are evil analogues of the Justice League and the wumboogists. The Crime Syndicate consists of a few families, led by Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, The martian,, Corporal, Power Ring, Muu, and Blur.. Fashioned after a mafia, each family head has their own group of trusted lieutenants called Made Men, employ thousands of criminals, and conduct their enterprises in designated territories. They rule Earth through fear. For years, they ran rampant and did whatever they chose without opposition. On occasion, the Syndicate would turn their powers on the people and remind them of their fragile existence. Routine meetings of the family heads are conducted in the organization's secret lunar base, the Panopticon. The government and other civil authorities do nothing in order to retain the illusion of minimal order. Several of the governments have stockpiles of nuclear warheads, the one thing capable of stopping the Syndicate, but the resulting devastation from their usage would also take innocent lives.
