In a story set between the first and second appearances of Libra's Injustice Gang but published more recently, another version of the group appears.<ref>''JLA 80-Page Giant'' #2 (November 1999)</ref>  The members of this Gang include:

* [[Captain Boomerang]] 
* [[Floronic Man]]
* [[I.Q. (comics)|I.Q.]]
* [[Shark (comics)|Shark]] (Karshon)
* [[Ocean Master]] 
* [[Abra Kadabra (comics)|Abra Kadabra]]

Despite being seen destroyed in an earlier story, the Injustice Gang's satellite later reappeared during the ''[[Identity Crisis (DC Comics)|Identity Crisis]]'' miniseries, now a shabby clubhouse for villains in-between schemes.  It is also a place of business for a gang of mercenary supervillains headed by [[Calculator (comics)|Calculator]]. In the miniseries, [[Merlyn (DC Comics)|Merlyn]], the criminal nemesis of [[Green Arrow]], openly states his derision of the name Injustice Gang, saying, "Some try to be a bit more professional"." The satellite also appeared in the first DC/[[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] [[intercompany crossover|crossover]], when Lex Luthor and [[Doctor Octopus]] used it as the location from which they would blackmail the world, with Superman and [[Spider-Man]] only just managing to defeat them.
