Top 5 most wanted Injustice Society members in DC/CW's Stargirl vol 2
The CW's Stargirl tv show is a couple episodes in at this point and I am loving it just as much as I did season one! It is a really fun show with lots of great easter eggs to the golden age of DC comics and as a JSA fan I'm thrilled to see the source material embraced so well! The villains of the series are some of my favorite parts of the show, with the Injustice Society of America being fantastic foes for the show's premier season. This team is one of my favorite villain teams in the comics as well, with so many stand out members through the years. From my previously list of the Injustice Society members I wanted to see on the show, we got Wizard and Gambler in season 1, with Blackbriar Thorn being mentioned in the first episode of season 2 (and likely not showing up due to what Pat said about what happened to him) along with a picture being shown! So with the show's love of villains continuing, here are the top 5 members of the Injustice Society from the comics I'd like to see become part of Stargirl's television universe next!

We got to see this villain on The Flash tv show already, but he was a fun member of Johnny Sorrow's Injustice Society in the comics that I wouldn't say no to seeing again on the screen! His powers of vibrations could really cause a problem for the heroes of the show, and if they utilize the movie-loving personality of the latter Geomancer I would adore hearing him spout obscure movie references!
Season 2 so far is definitely taking a darker, scarier tone than the first season thanks to the inclusion of Eclipso! Going along with that scarier theme, this could be the perfect time to utilize the Dummy in some capacity as well. A living doll (a catalyst for many horror plots), the Dummy served on Wizard's ISA in the comics against Infinity Inc, and most recently was seen in the Monsterlands in Shazam's "Seven Magic Lands," series.
Not to be confused with Harley Quinn, the Harlequin was an old foe of Alan Scott who existed in the comics long before Joker's girlfriend. Harlequin even joined Wizard's ISA alongside Dummy, and in a turn of events she joined into a romantic relationship with Alan Scott in their older ages. With Green Lantern looking to be a central character in this season with Jennie being his daughter, it could be a great time to bring in Harlequin as well as another character tied to Alan Scott.
Hailing from the more modern interpretation of the ISA, The Rival was a short lived member of the team who took part in a scattered attack on the JSA during Geoff John's "JSA" run. This character has one of my all time favorite comic book moments of all time: enacting super speed murders across the country; and when the dots of the murders are linked across a map it spells out his name! I really enjoyed the version of Rival we saw on the Flash tv show, but a more classic inspired version that hopefully pulls off his act from the comics would be so cool.
I was convinced that this villain would appear at the end of season 1! Season 1 followed the original Stargirl comic so closely, with obvious added differences and details but overall it was the events from the comic to a tee. So when the series closed with Cindy on the run, I thought Johnny Sorrow would be the one that she would run across; however, I'm still very excited to see Eclipso on the show. Hopefully Johnny Sorrow will get to play the big bad later on, and he is one of my all time favorite JSA villains with his creepy voice, eerie design, and a major tie to Stargirl in one of his outings as leader of the ISA that would make his transition to villain of her show easy from a source material stand point!
