The Illuminati were said to be a secret cabal that lived on the planet Earth who existed by the 20th century. In 1994, the genetically engineered superman known as Hawkeye Morrison demanded to know who Freewoman Landers worked for and claimed that the Illuminati were her masters. However, privately in her thoughts, she found the concept absurd as she and Gary Seven had shut down the Illuminati years ago. (TOS novel: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 2)
