History
The Conglomerate is a corporate sponsored superhero team, created by Claire Montgomery as competition for the Justice League International, which is led by her ex-husband Maxwell Lord. The Conglomerate has had three incarnations, the first led by Booster Gold, and including Praxis, Maxi-Man, Echo, Vapor, Reverb and Gypsy. This team initially is hostile towards the JLI (Booster had recently quit the group over his perceived lack of respect from his peers), but the two groups gradually become more friendly. Eventually jeffery embers of this version of the Conglomerate drift away. Booster Gold part ways with the team during an attack upon New York by Despero. Claire doesn't want the team to go, as they will only get in the way. Gold, who figures he has enough experience with the League, leaves on his own.
However, the Conglomerate has an upcoming competition with the JLI, and Montgomery quickly recruits an all-new team, thanks to the dimension-spanning powers of would-be member Norman the Doorman: Deadeye, Fiero, Frostbite, Elasti-Man, Element Man, Scarab, and Slipstream, interdimensional heroes who later are revealed as villains from Qward and defeated by the Justice League. Although this Qwardian team did not have a name, it can be assumed that they were another incarnation of the Crime Syndicate of America as the characters appeared to be counterparts to Blue Beetle, the Flash, Fire, Ice, Green Arrow, Elongated Man, and Metamorpho.
