DC Universe's upcoming series Stargirl already has its hero, but it's now time for the Justice Society of America's rivals, the Injustice Society, to fill out its ranks.

Ahead of DC's latest project on its dedicated streaming service, Stargirl has signed on three villains in the form of Tigress, Sportsmaster and Dragon King.

Is there a comic book baddie with a name more haunting than Sportsmaster? We doubt it.

Deadline is reporting that the Injustice Society's first three members will be played by Joy Osmanski (Santa Clarita Diet), Neil Hopkins (Lost) and Nelson Lee (Blade: The Series), respectively.

The Injustice Society made their comic book debut way back in the 1940s, as a volatile collective of master criminals pitched as the underworld's foil to DC's first superhero team, the Justice Society of America.

Teasing fans with what they can expect from Stargirl's fearsome villains, official descriptions promise a hunter in "the world's most dangerous game" in Tigress, and a competitive and ruthless killer in Sportsmaster.

Perhaps the most villainous of all, however, is Dragon King, "a deadly and mysterious hooded man [who] has been experimenting on himself and his victims since the 1940s".

As confirmed this summer, 19-year-old Brec Bassinger will take on Stargirl's lead, Stargirl (natch).

The series will follow her character, teenager Courtney Whitmore, as she navigates her new life in Nebraska – and the unexpected responsibility of wielding her stepfather's Cosmic Staff.

Stargirl is set to launch in 2019 on the streaming service DC Universe, which, at the moment, is not yet available in the UK.
