LSH's foes: The Fatal Five

There's only 5 of 'em. How can this band of supervillains be a match for the 25+ member Legion of Super Heroes?<br />
<br />
Well, you've got (clockwise from bottom) the half-robot Tharok, the genius leader. Mano, whose antimatter touch can destroy planets if he's charged up enough. Validus, the giant berserker with the strength of Hulk and psychic lightning. The Emerald Empress, mistress of the nigh-all-powerful Eye of Erkon and able to kill 1000 species with her bare hands. Persuader, super-strong criminal from a high-gravity world and master of the Atomic Axe, which can cut through anything. <br />
<br />
Yeah, the Five can and have given the LSH quite a tussle.
