The Cabal is an organization comprised of the world's greatest supervillains and enemies of the Avengers. They serve as the main antagonistic faction of Season 1, and they are led by the Red Skull, and in Season 4: Secret Wars, they are led by Loki.

History

Formation

After being beaten by the Avengers, the Red Skull believed that the only way to achieve his victory over the heroes was through a united effort. So he called upon Doctor Doom, Attuma, and Dracula with a proposition to join forces in order to take over the world. Doctor Doom turned down membership to the Cabal, while Justin Hammer failed twice to get into the group. The Cabal fought the Avengers numerous times. After The Final Showdown, Red Skull betrays the Cabal, and the rest of the team splits apart after that.

Prior to the events of Avengers No More, Leader assembled a new incarnation of the Cabal, consisting of Kang the Conqueror, Executioner, Arnim Zola, and Enchantress.
