Video games
- In DC Universe Online, the Secret Society of Super Villains appeared as the villain faction in opposition to the heroic Justice League. They would be responsible for recruiting the villain players with new inductees following one of three mentors either Lex Luthor, Joker and Circe with their headquarters being at the Hall of Doom that served as a central hub for their operations. Other members included Bizarro, Black Adam, Calculator, Doctor Psycho, Gorilla Grodd, Killer Frost, Solomon Grundy, Deathstroke, Cheetah, Giganta, Talia al Ghul and Zoom.
- In Injustice 2, a similar organization known as the Society appeared as antagonists in the video game. It was created by Gorilla Grodd and consisted of numerous supervillains that had escaped in the fall of the One Earth Regime. They were made to aid Grodd's 'silent partner' who was actually the cybernetic alien Brainiac who had made contact with the gorilla and was heading towards Earth. The Society believed that Grodd's ally would aid in their conquest of the planet and fought against the superheroes. Unknown to them, Catwoman who was among their ranks was actually a spy for Batman. They later disbanded after they learnt that Brainiac intended to ultimately destroy Earth.
