Superiors (Earth-339)

Foundation
The Superiors were founded as a secret organisation that wanted superhumans and supergeniuses to rule the world. It was started by Mr. Sinister as an alternative to Apocalypse his Clan Akkaba. However Sinister did not want Apocalypse to know he started the group. Therefore he found others to work with him. His first recruit was Baron Mordo, a powerful sorcerer. Mordo could provide an army of demons and Mindless Ones that could be use for the Conquest. Sinister also considered asking Magneto to join him, but understood that Magneto only cared about Mutants. Therefore he recruited Mystique instead. Mystique also focused on Mutants, but could live with sharing the world with other superhumans, understanding that mutants would eventually rise to surpass the other superhumans. Mordo and Mystique then sought a Hydra infiltrator. They found Grim Reaper. Williams was the brother of hero Wonder Man. They were then also joint by the Living Pharaoh who completed the Inner Circle of the Superiors. However there was a sixth member of the Inner Circle that Grim Reaper and Living Pharaoh were unaware of, Destiny. Lower ranking members included Abomination, Dr. Octopus, The Hood and Lizard.
