The Lords of Chaos and Order are a complementary group of fictional supernatural entities appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. While alluded to since 1st Issue Special #9 (December, 1975), the group would make their first physical appearance in DC Special Series #10 (1978). While the group is commonly associated with Doctor Fate titles, they also appear prominently in other comic titles. Depicted as powerful beings of magic representing concepts of order and chaos, both groups eternally struggle for supremacy. The Lords of Chaos are plotting to invoke kali yuga (a period where chaos dominates existence) while the Lords of Order work to prevent it. Both groups are also sometimes depicted as being balanced by entities known the Balancers (also referred to as the Lords of Eternal Balance), disallowing both sides from destroying each other. All sides can empower agents to act on their behest. The group has been adapted in media, having made appearances in the Young Justice animated series, featuring a roster of members consisting of different and pre-existing characters in the DC Universe serving as members or affiliates. The group is also mentioned heavily in the Injustice 2. Publication history The Lords of Chaos and Order would first be alluded to in 1st Issue Special #9 (December, 1975).

According to Hindu philosophy, the age of the universe and mankind is divided into four different cycles of ages in which the first age marks order ruling with perfection. In the second age, chaos begins to spread its subtle influence so that in the third age, chaos can go to war with order. In the final era, chaos triumphs and ushers in an age known as the "Kali Yuga". After this age, the cycle restarts when the age ends and the universe
