The Society battled the League one last time in full view of the packed stadium, but the League rallied together and soundly defeated the Society, cheered on by thousands of fans. J'onn freed his teammates, who by now had become aware of Grodd's manipulations. The plot was foiled by J'onn J'onzz, who had tricked the villains by impersonating Clayface (while the real Clayface had shapeshifted into J'onn's form and been mistakenly frozen solid by Killer Frost).

During the mission, Killer Frost murdered Morgan and the Society successfully liberated Clayface. Grodd's final recruitment plan was to rescue Clayface from Morgan Edge's mansion. Upon its formation, Grodd took pains to encourage a more cohesive organization in order to avoid the infighting of Lex Luthor's Injustice Gang.

The Secret Society was a supervillain team formed by Gorilla Grodd with the sole purpose of destroying the Justice League.
