Third Council
Still another criminal organization called The Council debuts in Daring New Adventures of Supergirl #3 (1983), as a group of supervillains. The Council maintains a hidden headquarters in Chicago from which they are able to fight the business world. The Director (a mysterious hooded figure), Matrix-Prime (a robot), and some super-powered humans known as the Gang are members of the Council. Supergirl finds their underwater complex hidden in Lake Michigan. They appeared a few times in Supergirl comics.
While this version of Supergirl is no longer part of current DC continuity, some of the Council's agents such as Matrix-Prime and the Gang have appeared in current canon, in titles like Grant Morrison's JLA and Phil Jimenez' Wonder Woman, so it seems that some of their history is still intact.

“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Parental attitudes have greater correlation with pupil achievement than material home circumstances or variations in school and classroom organization, instructional materials, and particular teaching practices.”
