Deadline has reported that Tigress, Sportsmaster, and Dragon King will be joining the villain roster of the DC Universe exclusive Stargirl live-action series. The trio are apart of the Injustice Society, who are group of master criminals, which debuted in All Star Comics #37. The team also served as the evil counterpart to the Justice Society of America. 

Joy Osmanski will be portraying Paula Brooks, aka the second Tigress. Paula Brooks was created by Mort Meskin and debuted in the comics with Sensation Comics #68, which was released in August 1947.

DC Universe provided a description for all three characters.

 “Protecting and providing for her family, Paula Brooks hunts the world’s most dangerous game – humans – as Tigress.”

“Lawrence ‘Crusher’ Crock is a longtime enemy of the Justice Society of America. He sees his criminal pursuits as a game to win — and his competitors as targets to kill. The only thing more important to Crock than ‘the game’ is his family.”

“A deadly and mysterious hooded man known only as ‘Dragon King’, this controversial scientist has been experimenting on himself and his victims since the 1940s.”
