There may be an iconic roster, but so many other villains have joined the Secret Six's ranks in one form or another that it's almost impossible to name them all.

Three major villains have all played the taskmaster role of Mockingbird. It may have started with Lex Luthor, but then halfway through the ongoing series, a new Mockingbird pops up to give them missions. This time it's Amanda Waller, head of Checkmate and handler for the equally infamous Task Force X (or the Suicide Squad, as they're more commonly known).

Then there's the New 52 version of the team, which only carried over a couple of characters, which had the Riddler hiding behind the name.

Outside of that though, the field team had also seen some relatively big names. Harley Quinn was involved for a short stint before she left due to them not being used to her kind of crazy. Mad Hatter was given the sixth slot until Ragdoll booted him out, seeing as how there could only be one posh crazy on the team. Following that, a Parademon that had been cut off from Apokolips was one of the roster in Villains United, and the likes of King Shark, Black Alice, Dwarfstar, Lady Vic, and even Giganta, were all members at one point in time.
