The Fatal Five are a supervillain team of the 30th century in the DC Comics universe. They were created by Jim Shooter and first appeared in Adventure Comics #352 (1967) as enemies of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
Originally assembled by the Legion to help them destroy the Sun-Eater threatening Earth, the Emerald Empress, Mano, The Persuader, and Validus, led by Tharok, have clashed with the Legion many times.
A later incarnation consisted of the Emerald Empress, Persuader, Flare, Caress and Mentalla, a Legion reject who was secretly working against the Five trying to secure a spot in the Legion.
The first storyline in Legionnaires (1993) had the SW6 Legion face a Fatal Five comprising Tharok, Mano, the Persuader, a new Emerald Empress and a monstous being called Mordecai.
Following the Zero Hour Legion reboot, the original Fatal Five was reintroduced in Legion of Superheroes #78 (1996), again assembled to help fight the Sun-Eater (although it was later revealed that the Sun-Eater didn't exist).
In the Teen Titans/Legion of Super-Heroes crossover, Persuader used his "atomic axe" to bring Fatal Five teams from other dimensions, forming the Fatal Five-Hundred.
