I thought it was Legion of Dildos
Poison Ivy[src]

The Legion of Doom (L.O.D. for short) is a group of professional "A-list" supervillains. Initially believed to have been assembled by the Joker, it's later revealed that the organization is far more extensive with that just being the Gotham Branch and is owned by Lex Luthor.

Not to be confused with the sex shop named Legion of Dildos.

in Harley Quinn: The Animated Series - Legion of Bats!, Poison Ivy after being made the new CEO of the Legion of Doom by Lex Luthor decides to make her own version of the Group called the Ladies of Doom.

History[]

Season 1[]

The Legion of Doom was a team of the world's leading supervillains. They worked together to commit crimes, take on superheroes, and host parties such as the bar-mitzvah for Joshua Cobblepot.

While they are evil, they do not tolerate misogyny and have been known to make televised PR statements as seen in "So You Need a Crew?" when Doctor Psycho gets kicked from the group after calling Wonder Woman and Giganta which "does not represent [their] brand of evil".

In "You're a Damn Good Cop, Jim Gordon", KGBeast was nominated for a spot on the Legion of Doom. In "L.O.D.R.S.V.P.", Harley Quinn received a nomination as well although Poison Ivy soon discovered that was just part of Lex Luthor's plan to get Ivy to join, saying he would only elect Harley if Poison Ivy joined as well. Despite refusing, Harley was chosen over KGBeast.

Joker blew up the Legion of Doom headquarters in "Devil's Snare" and had his Joker's Tower rise from the ground in its place. Joker talks about the Legion like it's been destroyed, but no bodies are shown, or specific deaths confirmed, so any number of the Legion's members could have survived or just been out of the building at the time.

Season 3[]

In "The Horse and the Sparrow", Lex Luthor, having become very impressed by Poison Ivy's latest scheme to turn Gotham into a forest, offers to let her lead a new version of the Legion of Doom in exchange for killing the Joker who had inadvertently ended up raising the group's taxes as part of his mayoral campaign. Though the assassination attempt ultimately failed, Ivy was still given the position.

Trivia[]

  • All of their members are completely open about their villainy.
  • Early on, the Legion of Doom had frequently propositioned Poison Ivy to join them but she rejected their invitations 148 times.[3]
  • There was a lot of politics involved in the hiring of Bane for the group.[3]
  • The higher-ups in the Legion display some pretty sexist behavior, as the scarcity of female supervillains in their ranks can attest to, yet apparently, Doctor Psycho saying the C-word is the line they're not willing to cross.
    • Doctor Psycho is expelled for calling Wonder Woman and Giganta the C-word as it does not represent the Legion's "brand of evil".[1]
  • In this show, being a supervillain is like a career path, and the Legion is a fancy big-time corporation that villains aspire to join. They have meetings to discuss evil plans, have a pool of henchmen they can request or be loaned out for schemes, and even have a coffee lounge where they gossip like co-workers. Also, they have politics like any corporation.
    • On special ocasions, the L.O.D headquarters is used for parties [8], baby showers, celebrations when a superhero is killed [6]. They even do cocktails when a supervillain is accepted as a new member of the Legion.[3]"
    • There is also a company dedicated to scout potential henchmen for any member of the Legion.[1]
    • Once they are accepted, every villain receives a card that allows them to pay for meals or activities which are funded by the Legion.[9]
    • When a member wishes to do an evil plan, such plan needs to be approved by the rest of the members and the leader of the Legion.[9]
    • According to Bane, there is a credit card line safed by all the members but is strictly used only for emergencies.
    • Every villain who wants to hire a fellow member's goons or henchmen they have to do some paperwork and bring those documents to HH.RR, something that Bane did in order to use Harley's crew members for an evil plan he wanted to do.[9]
    • There is also an insurance safed for any member's widows in the case that member dies, such as Nora Freeze after Mister Freeze died sacrificing his life in order to save Nora.[10]
