Overview
Summons made by the Society were not to be ignored and if it was then they sent one of their number to forcibly bring the person to the meeting. Per Society by-laws, the council was a place of non-aggression with no fighting allowed. A call could be made for any Society member if it was deemed that the had switched to becoming a superhero. During such times, a trial was held with a council sitting in judgement. In addition, the council was a place where grievances between members were brought and judgements for compensation were decided. (Deathstroke v4 #25)
At one point, their headquarters was a base known as the Sinister Citadel that was once situated as a corporate building in San Francisco. (Secret Society of Super-Villains v1 #2)
