The Masters of Disaster is a fictional supervillain team in the DC Comics universe.
The Masters of Disaster were enemies of Batman's Outsiders, Infinity Inc. and the Justice Society. All of their powers based on elemental forces of nature.
One of their earliest defeats of the Outsiders was neutralized with the emergence of the heroine known as Looker. She manages to defeat the Masters and free the others.
They assist Baron Bedlam and his Soviet-backed invasion of the country of Markovia. This would result in the deaths of many Markovian soldiers. The Outsiders attack an enemy camp and encounters the Masters. Learning from a previous encounter, the team manages to defeat the Outsiders.
Tensions arise in the team as Windfall has developed sympathetic feelings for the Outsiders and works from behind the scenes to keep them alive. Her sister, New Wave, naturally does not like this and Shakedown simply wants the team to work in peace. New Wave kills Shakedown, and Windfall leaves, joins the Outsiders, then joins the Suicide Squad where she is killed on a mission by Chemo.
