Vandal Savage is the groups founder and effectively their leader, but theyre otherwise an alliance of equals.
The Light as a whole act as a Legion of Doom between seven individual villains at a time, with an enforcer to do their dirty work. Badass Crew: They are all among the most powerful and influential individuals on Earth, although Luthor, Queen Bee, the Brain and Baazovi are non-combative (though no less dangerous for it). The exceptions are Klarion, Queen Bee, and Ocean-Master which are depicted as psychopaths, and even then the latter simply didn't get more relevant screen time. Anti-Villain: Although still horrible people, its individual members are portrayed far more sympathetically than their comic book counterparts, being both more well intentioned visionaries and more human, some of them shown to have sincere concern about certain people. Affably Evil: Vandal Savage, Lex Luthor, Ra's Al Ghul, The Brain and Black Manta are all relatively polite to their enemies, when they're not just being smug. Adaptation Name Change: In the comics, the organization is called the Secret Society of Super Villains, something hinted at in "Revelation" when Batman refers to it. This version is more of a Well-Intentioned Extremist whose aim is to make Earth an intergalactic superpower.
Adaptational Nice Guy: While they're not heroes by any normal sense of the word, their motives at least go beyond "world domination" or "kill the Justice League". The credits referred to the original seven members as L1 - L7 before their faces were shown, but these are not official in-universe designations they use among themselves. While they control a large number of minor baddies from DC lore who do their bidding and dirty work, the group itself is a mere seven members. The last scene of season two shows that they also know Darkseid. Their alliances even extend off-planet - Desaad has supplied them with the technology of the New Gods, and they add the Kroloteans' "Competitor", the Reach, to their contacts in season two.
