The Super Villain Girls are a group of female super villains in the second generation of the DC Super Hero Girls franchise that causes mayhem across the city of Metropolis.
Development and design[]
According to Lauren Faust, each of the villain girls is associated with a deadly motivation in a similar vein to the seven deadly sins[1]:
- Catwoman: Greed

- Livewire: Sadism
- Poison Ivy: Hate
- Star Sapphire: Envy
- Harley Quinn: Chaos
Livewire is the only one that does not have a real counterpart in the original 2015 web series. Giganta is the only member who shares the same villain role as her first generation counterpart.
History[]
The team was formed after the Super Hero Girls thwarted Catwoman's robbery. When Supergirl realized that she couldn't do it all alone, she called her friends to help her stop Catwoman. Finding herself outnumbered, Catwoman leaves her bag with the stolen gems behind, and she thinks that the best thing is that she has to get new friends. And so it happened: in "Frenemies", Selina managed to befriend four other students, Doris Zeul, Leslie Willis, Carol Ferris, and Pam Isley. Then Harleen Quinzel, an old friend of Barbara Gordon's before she met her new friends, also moves from Gotham City to Metropolis, and Barbara wants Harleen to join her new circle of friends, and though Diana, Kara, Jessica, Zee and Karen do their best to cheer up Babs, realize that Harleen is a bit annoying, and reject her. After that, Selina invites Harleen join their team by revealing that she and the other four are villains. Harleen assumes her identity as Harley Quinn and joined them.
In the crossover movie Teen Titans Go! & DC Super Hero Girls: Mayhem in the Multiverse, the Super Villain Girls were recruited by Lex Luthor to join his newly formed team of villains, the Legion of Doom, to get rid of all superheroes. However, Harley Quinn realized that the Legion was going too far, so she left both teams and helped the heroes save the world. And when the Super Hero Girls gave each other a victory hug, they accepted Harley into their team.
