HISTORY
Wielding the powerful Atomic Axe which can cut through any matter or energy, the Persuader was one of the most dangerous criminals of the 30th century. The United Planets President Chu tricked the Legion of Super-Heroes into organizing Persuader and four other infamous villains to help battle the Sun-Eater. As the Fatal Five, the villains instead turned against the Legion and helped Chu with her rogue plans. Since then, the Fatal Five, although an uneasy alliance, have regrouped on a couple of occasions.
