[2] Like all major intracompany events, this series ties in with several monthly DC Comics titles, including: Lex Luthor assembles the Secret Society of Super Villains, a massive alliance consisting of Talia al Ghul, Doctor Psycho, Deathstroke, Black Adam, and Calculator, among others.

They are opposed by the Secret Six, who consist of Catman, Cheshire, Deadshot, Scandal, Ragdoll, and a Parademon and are supported by the mysterious benefactor Mockingbird.

The Six are assigned to steal Thanagarian weaponry from Gotham City, during which they are captured and tortured by the Crime Doctor.

The Six infiltrate a Society base in Brazil, where they discover the group's plans to erase the memories of Earth's superheroes.

Meanwhile, Scandal reveals that she is Vandal Savage's daughter, and the Six learn that Cheshire has been acting as a double agent.
