 * "Universe of Evil", an episode of the 1970s animated series The Super Friends featured the team encountering an evil version of the team from an alternate universe.


 * The Justice League Adventures comic issue #6 featured a story of the Justice Leaguers assuming the identities of villains Chronos (Batman), Solomon Grundy (Superman), Catwoman (Wonder Woman), Parasite (J'Onn J'Onzz), The Warp (Flash), Roxy Rocket (Hawkgirl) and Count Vertigo (Green Lantern). They would keep those costumes in the Watchtower after that. The JLA: Earth 2 special featured those costumes in the CSA Watchtower, three of them labeled "Doctor Noon", "White Cat" and "Spaceman".


 * In the animated series Justice League, a team called the Justice Lords, who combined elements of the Crime Syndicate and Wildstorm Comics' the Authority (a morally-ambiguous take on the Justice League concept), appeared as the League's counterparts from an alternate universe. The Justice Lords' counterpart of the Flash had been killed in their world. Unlike the Crime Syndicate, the Justice Lords were not simply evil opposites of their good counterparts; rather, they ruled their world with an iron fist in order to end war and crime. The death of their Flash set a chain of events in motion that ended with the death of the alternate Lex Luthor at the hands of the alternate Superman. The United States government, fearing that the Justice League might one day become like the Justice Lords, secretly began Project Cadmus in case they did. The Justice Lords' first appearance was in the 2 part Justice League episode "A Better World".  Robotic doubles of the Justice Lords are created as a diversion by the newly combined Lex Luthor/Brainiac in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Divided We Fall".


 * "A Better World" was originally going to be a Crime Syndicate story.


 * A Justice League DTV was planned, called Justice League: Worlds Collide, in which the Crime Synidicate would have been the main villians and would have taken place during the gap between seasons 2 and 3.
