A [[Legion of Doom|team of supervillains]] in [[The DCU]], there have been several incarnations of the '''Secret Six''', with the current{{when}} team created by [[Gail Simone]] and Dale Eaglesham. This incarnation is made up primarily of villains who are cooperating for personal and commercial reasons, working as a team to commit crimes and perform services for an exorbitant fee.
This version of the Six first turned up in ''Villains United'' #1 (July, 2005), fighting against the Society of Supervillains. After all, just because they are all evil [[Evil Is One Big Happy Family|does not mean they get along.]] They had a mini-series (''Six Degrees of Devastation'') before finally getting their own monthly title. [https://web.archive.org/web/20130928030721/http://www.606studios.com/bendisboard/showthread.php?208178-Okay-About-Secret-Six The series was cancelled] as a part of the ''[[New 52]]'' relaunch and replaced by a reboot of the [[Suicide Squad]] featuring a few key members, such as Deadshot and King Shark.

Nicola Scott, one of the artists who worked on the book, also gleefully [https://web.archive.org/web/20170415040842/http://stormantic.com/3673/art/catman-and-deadshot-by-nicola-scott drew a fan a picture] of Catman and Deadshot in bed together.
