Their existence over time came to be considered myth with them occasionally being used by imitators and con artists. (Legion of Super-Heroes v3 #44)

Overview
In appearance, the Luck Lords appeared as humanoid beings who had a giant green eyeball as their head and covered in robes. (Legion of Super-Heroes v3 #44)
There were various principles of luck believed by them which included:
- First Principle of Luck : all events were random and could not be predicted by any system. (Legion of Super-Heroes v3 #44)
- Second Principle of Luck : all events were ordered and could be predicted by a system. (Legion of Super-Heroes v3 #44)
- Third Principle of Luck : the first two principles were true. (Legion of Super-Heroes v3 #44)
One example of Venturan technology was the Luck Dial that altered events in the favour of the user. Casino bosses on Ventura used them to rig probability in their favour. (The Green Lantern v1 #1)
Ventura's was held as a sacred place whose ziggurat was considered holy to the principles of luck. (Legion of Super-Heroes v3 #44)
