The Injustice League is the name of two supervillain teams in the DC Comics Universe.

The original Injustice League was the brainchild of the interplanetary conqueror, Agamemno. Bored of his dominion, he set out to conquer Earth and their champions, the Justice League. Aided by Kanjar Ro, Agamemno contacts Lex Luthor and they recruited other villains to their cause.
Agamemno then engineered a switch wherein the villains' minds switched with those of the JLA. In the true JLA's absence, other Silver Age heroes came to clash with the now seemingly evil heroes. Eventually, Green Lantern used the power of the Oa's Central Power Battery and a Thanagarian weapon called Absorbascon to reverse the mind-swap.
Having spent time in their enemies' bodies, the villains knew their heroic counterparts inside-out. To regain the edge, the JLA used the power of Robby Reed's alien H-Dial to transform themselves into totally different heroes. Then using his power ring through the Absorbascon, Green Lantern removed all knowledge of the heroes' secret identities from the villains' minds.

The second Injustice League was formed to counter Maxwell Lord's Justice League International, and comprised Cluemaster, Major Disaster, Clock King, Big Sir, Multi-Man and the Mighty Bruce. This team proved highly unsuccessful, and eventually underwent a crisis of conscience and requested membership of the Justice League. Lord sent them, as well as the incompetent Green Lantern G'nort, to become Justice League Antarctica. Later, they volunteered to the Suicide Squad. In a mission, Big Sir, Clock King and Multi-Man died (the later survived thanks to his powers) and Cluemaster was seriously injured.
The Hellfire League of Injustice are a combination of DC Comics' Injustice League and Marvel Comics' Helfire Club, and made their true debut in JLX Unleashed #1 (1997), though their first appearance in the Amalgam Comics universe is still unknown.
