for Thinker in Task Force X: The Suicide Squad
Suggested by bighero616
With the Justice League and the international crisis caused by interference in the Atlantis conflict, the US government begins to question the limits of the autonomy of these self-proclaimed superheroes and what they can do about it. Waller doesn't have a definitive answer, but she has something, the beginning of something. Obviously, these "heroes" wouldn't simply follow government orders; they see themselves as far above the law, above those chosen for their positions either for their competence or by popular vote. This means the government needs its own squad, its own task force. One that would faithfully follow its orders without hesitation, that would do the dirty work these heroes weren't willing to accept. And she knew exactly where to find it. And so Task Force X was formed. Using super-criminals with neural implants that would explode their brains at the first sign of disobedience, to do the secret and dirty work that most heroes can't and aren't capable of doing. All this under her command, of course. However, the US government seems reluctant to proceed. Well, that is until they need your help and your task force to clean up their mess when a simple experiment not only spirals out of control, but becomes a threat to the entire city of San Francisco. To clean up this crisis, eliminate the threat, and erase any evidence that it ever happened, Amanda Waller assembles the worst of the worst. Things are about to get ugly, and fast.
