History
Origin
The Monster Society of Evil were a group of supervillains gathered together by Mister Mind.
Among the recruits into his organization included Doctor Sivana, Ibac, Nippo and Mr. Banjo. Bringing together his Monster Society, he enlisted the aid of Captain Nazi and tasked the villain with stealing the magic pearl from the Indian Princess Dareena Rajabuti. (Captain Marvel Adventures v1 #22)
Afterwards, Mister Mind approached the Sivana Family about re-organising the Monster Society to enact a new scheme against the Marvel Family. This saw Ibac join their ranks as the villains looked to use special tools against the superheroes. (Shazam! v1 #14)
Mister Mind came to reform the Monster Society that now included Oggar amongst their ranks as they made a new plot against Captain Marvel. (World's Finest v1 #264)
Post-Flashpoint
Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
Originally, the Monster Society consisted of a group of villainous beings from the different parts of the seven Magic Lands who rallied under Mr. Mind. Long ago, they battled the Wizard only to be defeated and imprisoned where they were chained in cells for all eternity. (Shazam! v3 #11)
After being freed, Mr. Mind formed an alliance with Dr. Sivana who made his way into the Magiclands in order to free the Monster Society. Once freed, they emerged into the Earthlands in order to battle the Shazamily. (Shazam! v3 #11)
In the fight, the Society looked to overwhelm the heroes when Superboy-Prime arrived at the scene where he killed the Goatman. He then turned his attention to the other members of the Monster Society. This in conjunction with the Shazam Family fighting the villains led to their defeat. Meanwhile, Shazam himself had used magic to shrink himself and fight Mister Mind within the head of C.C. Batson where he defeated the worm by breaking his electronic voice box thus preventing him from casting anymore spells. Upon being restored to his original size, Shazam then went about restoring the Magiclands back to normal whereupon the defeated members of the Monster Society were imprisoned at the newly established Rock Falls prison facility that was made to contain magical supervillains. (Shazam! v3 #14)
