History: Alexander Luthor impersonated Lex Luthor to organize the world's supervillains into the Society. The real Lex Luthor couldn't let this slight stand, so adopting the persona Mockingbird he formed the Secret Six, a team of villains who all had a grudge against the Society. After the Society fell and Mockingbird was exposed the Secret Six decided to stay together to function as a team of mercenaries.

(Secret Six III #30, Doom Patrol V #19) - Scandal learned that Bane had never been on a proper date in his life, so she asked Liana K to hook him up with one of the dancers at Superior’s Gentleman’s Club. Bane was extremely uncomfortable, but agreed nonetheless. The dancers were wild for Bane, and his date Spencer liked him even though he had no idea how to go about dating, presenting her with flowers and telling her they were bargaining tokens in hopes off him mating with her. When one of the regulars harassed Spencer, asking her for a dance even though she was off the clock, Bane shattered his face, and asked if etiquitte demanded he break his spine. Liana knew the cops would come, and hurried Bane and Scandal away from her club, but Spencer asked bane to please call her. The Secret Six were hired by the newly formed criminal organization C.R.U.S.H., run by Eric Fine, the grandson of one of the founders of the 100. They wanted the sovereign nation of Oolong Island as their new headquarters, and told the Secret Six to dispose of Oolong’s protectors the Doom patrol. The Six only agreed after Jeanette and Scandal made it clear they wouldn’t kill any civilians, but Deadshot thought they were acting like babies. The Six engaged the Doom patrol in combat, but Eric decided to double-cross them, and sent suicide bombers to ignite Oolong’s dormant volcano. The DP wanted to call off the fight, but Bane insisted that the disaster meant nothing. DP member Elasti-Woman diverted the lava, and Oolong’s president uncloaked C.R.U.S.H.’s helicopter, which was observing the proceedings. C.R.U.S.H. fled, and the Six realized they wouldn’t be paid for the job, so the conflict ended, and the Six peacefully left Oolong, but Catman admitted he was itching to tussle with the DP again.
