It is unknown under which circumstances the Injustice Society was formed. The group first appeared in the second half of the 1940s decade.

• Wizard
• Brainwave
• Gambler
• Per Degaton
• Thinker (Clifford DeVoe)
• Vandal Savage

The second formation appeared in the late 1940's, with the following additional members:

• Fiddler
• Sportsmaster
• Tigress (Paula Brooks)
• Icicle (Joar Mahkent)
• Harlequin (Molly Mayne)

• Shade - was an addidional member when a third formation formed during a teamup between the Justice Society and the Justice League.

• Solomon Grundy - joined a fourth formation led by the Icicle.

During what some described as the "anti-costumed-hero mania", (as chronicled in the DC mini-series Legends [1986]), the Wizard gathered both old comrades and new super-criminals into a new Injustice Society which he called Injustice Unlimited. The adventures of this incarnation were written in the pages of Infinity, Inc. #32-37 (1987) and #51-53 (1988), indeed, the criminal group seemed to be a mirror image of Infinity, Inc. which itself was an offshoot of the Justice Society. Later, this team returned to the original name.

• Wizard
• Fiddler
• Shade
• Artemis
• Hazard
• Icicle (Cameron Mahkent)

Recruited after the Wizard was believed dead and both the Fiddler and the Shade were imprisoned.

• Dummy
• Harlequin (Marcie Cooper)
• Solomon Grundy

In the late 1999, another incarnation of the Injustice Society was led by Johnny Sorrow.

• Johnny Sorrow
• Count Vertigo
• Icicle (Cameron Mahkent)
• Geomancer
• Tigress (Artemis Crock)
• Blackbriar Thorn
• Killer Wasp

Later recruits included:

• Rival
• Black Adam
• Shiv
• Thinker (A.I.)

The demon Legacy, the Wizard in disguise, formed another version in the JSA All-Stars mini-series.

• Kestrel
• Rag Doll
• Tigress (Artemis Crock)
• Icicle (Cameron Mahkent)
• Solomon Grundy
• Shiv

The Injustice Society has resurfaced again in November 2005, in the pages of JSA Classified, composed by:

An alternate version of the Golden Age Injustice Society appears in the Justice League episode entitled Legends. The group calls itself the Injustice Guild, and opposes the Justice Guild of America (an analogue for the Justice Society). Its members are:

• The Music Master, patterned after the Fiddler
• The Sportsman, patterned after the Sportsmaster
• Dr. Blizzard, patterned after the Icicle
• Sir Swami, patterned after the Wizard

The Justice League's counterpart group of enemies is known as the Injustice Gang.
