History

When Clark Kent came to Metropolis there was a small organization connected to Intergang called the 10. Over the years the 10 grew, and became known as the 100. It kept a firm grip on Metropolis's criminal underground for years by indulging in drug trafficking and racketeering. They began to spread throughout the U.S.A. with branches in many other cities. During the years they have made many enemies, including Thorn (whose parent and godfather they murdered), Halo (who as Violet Harper was herself killed by Syonide of the 100, before becoming Halo, and then her parents killed by the same Syonide), Black Lightning, and of course Superman himself. Tobias Whale, the section leader of the Metropolis branch found that Black Lightning was their most vigilant adversary. Sometime after Tobias Whale had been imprisoned, Senator Henry Ballard rose to be the the Director of the 100. Under Senator Ballard the 100 rose to become the 1000 while attempting to expand their reach to the Oval Office with Director Ballard as the presidential candidate. Ballard was also obsessed with Booster Gold who had thwarted his attempted presidential assassination upon arriving in the present, and would clash with him many times. Their plan's were ultimately foiled and they retreated back to the 100, but have since become the 1000 once again.
