Done by the familiar team of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, it re-introduces the CSA as from an anti-matter universe in which they rule the entire Earth. JLA: Earth 2: For me this is the key text to the Crime Syndicate, combining the elements of earlier versions into a more cohesive force inside the DCU.

With Geoff Johns recently revealing that the upcoming Forever Evil event series will feature DC’s villains versus these villainous versions of the Justice League, we’ve pulled together the best CSA stories from the past 49 years to create a bible to better know your heroes born bad. Created back in 1964’s Justice League of America #29 by Gardner Fox and Mike Sekowky, there have been several iterations of the team (some going by other names like the Crime Syndicate of Amerika or the Crime Society) that have plagued DC’s heroes individually and on entire team-wide battles. In comics it seems that every government in the world worries about heroes going bad, but what if all the heroes were bad? That’s the conceit of DC’s Crime Syndicate of America (Crime Syndicate or CSA, for short), an alternate universe version of the Justice League where justice has turned into “just us” with names like Ultraman (Superman), Superwoman (Wonder Woman), Owlman (Batman), Johnny Quick (Flash) and Power Ring (Green Lantern).
