The Light is a secret Illuminati council of supervillains comprised of seven self-proclaimed enlightened members, led by Vandal Savage. They serve as the archenemies of the Team and main antagonists of Young Justice appearing as the main antagonist of season 1, one of the main antagonists alongside the Reach of season 2 and the one of the main antagonists alongside Darkseid of season 3 and will return in season 4.

Biography

The Light was formed by Vandal Savage, who was then known as the Babylonian demigod hero Marduk, and his daughter Ishtar after saving their city from a Starro invasion. Therefore, for leading their people through their darkest hour, the duo became henceforth known as "The Light".

The current iteration of the group was founded somewhere between 2006 and 2007, after the Justice League was publicly announced, to counteract the latter's role in preserving society's "calcified status quo". According to Savage, the League inhibited mankind by protecting it from disaster, crime, and tragedy, which to The Light are the necessary factors needed for humanity to evolve.

To counteract this, the Light created or co-opted networks of operatives, placed key individuals in key positions, and explored the boundaries of all new technology. Genetic engineering, biochemical engineering, robotics, nano-robotics, techno-sorcery, and all conceivable methods of mind control were all explored by the Light in its quest to accelerate human evolution. The Light's ultimate goal is to make the Earth "take its rightful place at the center of the cosmos"
