| In-story information | |
| Type of organization | Terrorist |
| Leader(s) | Dragon King[3][4] |
TheBlack Dragon Society is a non-fictional Japanese secret society, also known as the Kokuryūkai, which appears inDC Comics. The publisher first used the name in 1942'sAll Star Comics issue #12 (August 1942) as Japanese saboteurs. They were created byGardner Fox andJack Burnley. The same name and concept was also used by several other 1940s comics publishers that were later bought out by DC. A modern reimagining of the group asecoterrorists was presented inJLA.
TheBlack Dragon Society is based on a realWorld War IIorganization of the same name. As such, three separate comics companies (National Comics,Fawcett Comics, andQuality Comics) used them as villains.
The Fawcett Comics version debuted inMaster Comics #21 (December 1941), it hadMinute-Man fighting against the Society, and was created by Bill Woolfolk andCharles Sultan. The DC Comics version debuted inAll Star Comics #12 (August 1942)[5] and was created byGardner Fox andJack Burnley, in the story "The Black Dragon Menace" in which a Japanese spy ring called the Black Dragon Society of Japan steals eight American inventions and kidnaps their inventors. Quality Comics' version debuted inMilitary Comics #24 (November 1943), and was created by Ted Udall and Vernon Henkel.
TheJustice Battalion are given orders to retrieve eight stolen military weapons, and subdue the agents of the Black Dragon Society who had orchestrated the thefts. Starman took on a huge dirigible which acted as a flyingaircraft carrier and the planes it housed. The Society, loyal toImperial Japan, was to use the planes to attack an American city but Starman prevented this. Because ofJohnny Thunder's bumbling, the whole Battalion was transported to the American HQ of the Black Dragon Society. After a quick fight and a call to the US Army, the threat posed by the Black Dragons was over.[6]
The Black Dragon Society as an anti-U.S. organization also fought Minute-Man,[7]Atom,[8]Black Condor,[9] the Sniper,[10] and Johnny Everyman during World War II.[11]
TheDragon King was a Japanese national and scientific genius who struck off from the Society early on. It was the Dragon King, using a combination of the occult andsuper-science, who created the forcefield that protected theAxis countries from the superhuman operatives of theAllies. He somehow was able to combine the energies of theSpear of Destiny with those of theHoly Grail to accomplish this. At some point after the war he develops an immortality serum that transforms him into a reptilian humanoid.
The modern versions of the Black Dragon Society show up in the pages of an issue ofJLA. This version appears to be made up of fanatical, east Asian eco-terrorists with the stated intention of putting an end to the exploitation of Pacific oil fields by the west. They take the executive board of thePetroil oil company hostage, and kill all of their security and support staff. A superteam known as thePower Company shows up and shuts down the Black Dragons[12] before they can kill their hostages. At the end of the story, it is revealed that the entire incident was only part of making a TV commercial for the Power Company, with the Black Dragon members being dressed-up actors on a set. Whether the commercial was based on a real incident, and if the Power Company ever battled the real Black Dragons, is not known.[13]

Galaxy Communications is a fictional Americanmultinational media corporation in theDC Comicsuniverse. It is owned and run by businessman and crime lordMorgan Edge.
Galaxy Communications is one of the world's leading telecommunications companies and a major economic engine of both Metropolis and the United States. It has a broadband division that supplies Americans with digital television, internet and phone services, and also produces several periodicals and books through its subsidiary Galaxy Publishing.
Originally spearheaded byMorgan Edge, an article byDaily Planet reporterClark Kent revealed that Edge was also in command ofIntergang, one of Metropolis's most notorious criminal organizations. This eventually led to Morgan's fatherVincent Edge taking over Galaxy Communication. However, he too was ousted from the corporation, as it was exposed that he continuously madeCat Grant the victim of repeated sexual harassment.
Galaxy Communications shares a loose alliance with theDaily Planet, as they are two of the leading centers for truth and accuracy throughout the city's media. They are aggressively opposed byLexCorp, which operates WLEX-TV, a major television station in Metropolis; and LexCom, an internet site that serves as a digital news center. As it is offered over the internet, LexCom has a great access to mainstream America, minus the costs of publishing. LexCorp's owner,Lex Luthor, manipulates nearly two-thirds of Metropolis business. Galaxy Communications stands as the leading major media empire which provides the citizens of Metropolis with information and entertainment.
WGBS-TV, flagship station of theGalaxy Broadcasting System (GBS) television network, both subsidiaries of media conglomerate Galaxy Communications.[24] Popular shows includedThe Midnight Show Starring Johnny Nevada (a fictional version ofNBC'sThe Tonight Show, with Johnny Nevada being ananalogue ofJohnny Carson).[25] There was a real-life WGBS-TV, in Philadelphia from 1985 to 1995; the call letters stood for Grant Broadcasting System, the original owners. The call letters were changed in 1995 to the currentWPSG, after acquisition by theParamount Stations Group and conversion into aUPN outlet; it is currently an affiliate ofThe CW and is owned byCBS Television Stations.
Between the early 1970s and mid-1980s, both Clark Kent and Lois Lane worked for WGBS after Galaxy Communications purchased theDaily Planet in a 1971 storyline, with Clark as theanchorman for the WGBS evening news.[26] He was eventually joined byLana Lang as a co-anchor.[26] After John Byrne's revamp of Superman's origins, though, Clark and Lois were reverted to working at theDaily Planet once again. Galaxy Broadcasting and WGBS-TV still existpost-Crisis, however, and are usually used in any story where a television station or network is needed or shown. Post-Crisis, Clark, Lois and Lana never worked for the station. During the 1990s, bothJimmy Olsen and Cat Grant did work there.
With thereboot of DC's line of comics in 2011, theDaily Planet was shown in theSuperman comics as being bought by Morgan Edge and merged with the Galaxy Broadcasting System, similar to the Silver/Bronze Age continuity.[27] InAction Comics, it is revealed that in the new history/universe, Clark Kent begins his journalism career in Metropolis roughly six years before Galaxy Broadcasting merges with theDaily Planet even taking on a criminal scandal involving the so-called "Mr. Metropolis"Glen Glenmorgan, CEO of Galaxy Broadcasting. Glenmorgan was spotted by the police after Superman dropped him off a tall building. However, Glenmorgan managed to avoid being arrested and later appeared on television where he expressed his belief that Superman is an alien and a danger to society. However, Kent's reporting later exposed him, and the intervention rove him to madness.[28] Along with being a writer for theDaily Star, partly because editor George Taylor was a friend of his adopted parents, Clark is an active blogger who speaks against political corruption and reports on the troubles of everyday citizens who are not often the focus of news media. While working at theStar, Clark meets Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen and the two become friends despite working at rival publications. Clark is also a great fan of Lois Lane's work at theDaily Planet, eventually meeting her through Jimmy. Months after Superman makes his public debut, Clark leaves theDaily Star on good terms and accepts a position at theDaily Planet.
After the merger with Galaxy Broadcasting, Lois was promoted to run the TV division, with Clark acting as an on-the-scene reporter for the TV division. Clark is later assigned the "Superman beat". But after rising tension between himself and Lois, as well as with Galaxy Broadcasting head Morgan Edge, Clark concludes that theDaily Planet is now more concerned with ratings and internet page views than actual journalism. He quits and goes off to begin an independent, internet news site with fellow journalist Cat Grant. Though Lois and Jimmy consider this to be a bad and risky decision, they continue to act as Clark's friends and confidants, offering aid when they can.

TheRed Hood Gang is a fictional organization appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. They first appeared inBatman (vol. 2) #0 (November 2012) inThe New 52 (a 2011 reboot of the DC universe).
The young Bruce Wayne has recently returned toGotham City to start a crime-fighting career with the Red Hood Gang as an early target of infiltration. To Bruce's dismay, the Red Hood Gang's leader knows the group has been infiltrated and manages to weed out the disguised Bruce. The Red Hood Gang attempts to kill, but Bruce manages to escape into the sewers after theGotham City Police Department show up to break up a robbery. The Red Hood Gang follow into the sewer system, but a prototype motorcycle hidden in the tunnels allows Bruce to escape. The Red Hood Gang is later seen outside of Bruce's apartment, scoping it out for their next hit.[49]
The Red Hood Gang subsequently reappeared in the "Zero Year" event's first story arc "Secret City", where Bruce gets involved with the Red Hood Gang to spoil their plans to sink a pickup truck full of men who refused to join their ranks. It's revealed that the Red Hood Gang's ranks have expanded and their leader has blackmailed innocent Gotham citizens into joining the group, threatening violence if they refuse to be henchmen.[50] They eventually steal an airship belonging to thePenguin, several weapons fromWayne Industries, and also killLuca Falcone. Bruce discovers that the Red Hood Gang has been doing business with his uncle Philip Kane who has been selling them weapons after being forced to join the gang. Bruce discovers his uncle's affiliation and goes to tellAlfred Pennyworth, but a bomb from the Red Hood Gang to "welcome [Bruce] back to the city" which blows up the apartment.[51]
The Red Hood Gang's motivation comes to light where it's revealed that they had been inspired by the impact that the murder ofThomas andMartha Wayne had upon the city, making Gotham residents fearful as no one's safe from crime since the rich and powerful could be gunned down by arandom criminal. Embracing nihilism, the Red Hood Gang killed, robbed and caused suffering to make the average citizen know their lives are worthless, and they can and will be murdered at any given moment.[52]
The Red Hood Gang's campaign of terror is a plan to take over the Axis Chemical Plant's resources to create a flesh-eating bacteria.Batman lures the Gotham police to the plant, resulting in a raid to which a battle ensues where Kane is mortally wounded by the leader who accuses him of betrayal. Most of the gang is arrested, while Batman goes after the leader who ultimately falls into a container of chemicals rather than be taken alive. A few days later, police discover Liam Distal as the gang's dead leader stuffed into a barrel of lye. The lye has dissolved Distal's remains, meaning there's no way to tell when he was killed. Bruce surmises that the Red Hood Gang's leader (Philip's killer) was an impostor who killed Distal and took his place, but there's no way to confirm this nor know when the impostor murdered Distal.[53]

TheWeaponers of Qward are a fictional organization appearing in American comics published by DC Comics.
The Weaponers of Qward are a group of Qwardian smiths and engineers that seem to have a military structure. Their most noteworthy warriors are the Thunderers, flying warriors that are equipped with throwable weapons shaped like lightning bolts that turn into a form of energy called "Qwa" when thrown. This energy is the Weaponers' primary weapon and can harm evenSuperman. They also have yellow shields. The Qwardians have legends of fierce energy-creatures called Qwa-angels; whether these exist or not is unknown. It is mentioned in one of their earliest appearances that the Chief Weaponer is called Kalmin. The Weaponers also possess advanced technology, the development of which was motivated over the centuries by their attempts to develop a weapon powerful enough to open a mysterious artifact called the "Golden Obelisk of Qward". They created a yellow "power ring" for the supervillainSinestro, a former Green Lantern who had been exiled to their universe for using his power to take over his world. He was their ally against their long-time foes, theGreen Lantern Corps from the positive-matter universe, who have opposed their attempts to conquer their universe several times (including kidnappingOlivia Reynolds on more than one occasion, in attempts to harness her U-Mind to access the Ergono power). The Weaponers have also clashed with theJustice League of America and other DC Comics superheroes.[68]
The Weaponers of Qward appear inGreen Lantern: First Flight with one of them voiced byRob Paulsen. This version of the Weaponers are an insectoid species rather than humanoid and appear to function as a group mind.
