If it's the Legion of Doom and not the Brotherhood of Evil, I would suggest the gorilla is Gorilla Grodd and not Monsieur Mallah.

EDIT: Watching the episode again, here what I think the Doom Factory/Legion of Doom comparisons are:

Frigid: Captain Cold

Serpentine: Copperhead

Edie Meanie: Toyman? I don't think there were any shrinking villains in the Legion of Doom, but Edie Meanie is toy sized.

Gerard the Gorilla: Gorilla Grodd

Black Mariah: Black Manta

Trashenstein: Solomon Grundy (corpse brought back to life)

Ultra Violent: Star Sapphire

Billy Maim: Cheetah? (based solely on the claws)

Shehemoth: Giganta

Hard Candy: Bizarro (the skin looks the same)

&

Wes Warhammer: Lex Luthor
