After the events of "The Suicide Squad" and "Creature Commandos," Amanda Waller sends out Task Force X (the Suicide Squad) to Transylvania to stop a mad scientist (a descendant of Victor Frankenstein) from creating artificial soldiers from dead human parts. Some of his "soldiers" are fallen members of Task Force X, who slowly regain their memories from when they were alive (examples: TDK, Rick Flag Jr., Captain Boomerang). The current members of the Suicide Squad are Harley Quinn (as always), Bloodsport, King Shark, The Bride, Weasel, G.I. Robot, Katana, and led by Rick Flag Senior. There will be moments when Flag Senior is conflicted of having to kill his zombified son, and there will be origins of certain members, like Katana, King Shark, and Weasel. The villains include Frankenstein's descendant, Count Dracula, the Wolf man (who later becomes an ally) and... The JOKER!
