## Synopsis

Amanda Waller employs the Task Force X once again, this time is to invade the rogue nation of Corto Maltese to destroy an experimental project and a Gorilla dictatorship.

## Plot

Commanded by Amanda Waller, imprisoned convicts of Belle Reve penitentiary are incentivized to form Task Force X — a black ops group working on behalf of the American Government through A.R.G.U.S.. The task force is sent to the South American island nation of Corto Maltese to overthrow Gorilla Grodd, a gorilla who gained intelligence following an experiment and is a politician. Grodd has recently led a successful coup against the previous dictator. The Thinker, an extremely intelligent metahuman, works with the Corto Maltesean government as the laboratory's scientist, overseeing "Project Titano," involving a chimpanzee.

The team, led by Rick Flag and consisting of Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang (along with new team members Codpiece, Doctor Light, Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man, Virtuoso, and Weather Wizard) are deployed onto a Corto Maltese beach in order to infiltrate the island and overthrow the government. After being ambushed by the regime's soldiers, all but Harley, Flag and Boomerang are killed. Harley is captured while Flag disappears into the jungle. Team 2 arrives, with Deadshot, Deathstroke, Cheetah, King Shark, and Polka-Dot Man, who encounter no trouble from any soldiers due to Team 1's sacrificial distraction.
