**ECHO Squad** (**Enhanced Combat for superHuman Operations**) is a counter-terrorism and special ops team that was created by the CIA after the secret battle between the Soviets and the Guardians in the mid-80s. Each member of the team is given a special enhancement serum, which gives the user superhuman strength, as well as putting them in peak human performance. When the Department of Superhuman Affairs was created, after the Superhuman Civil War, ECHO Squad was transferred and became a DSA task force.

## History

### Creation

After the Secret War between the Soviets and the Guardians, the CIA decided they needed more superhuman-focused strategies, so they created the Enhanced Combat for superHuman Operations Unit, more commonly known as **ECHO Squad**. They were given an experimental performance enhancing serum, which gave each member superhuman strength, and put them in peak human condition. CIA Agent Jackson Scarrow, close friend of Sparrow, was selected to be the first leader the team.

For the next few decades, the squad saw a large amount of action, mainly against terrorist threats and political assassinations.

### Working with the Human Jet

ECHO Squad was assigned to assist Lucas Hughes, the Human Jet, in taking down the terrorist leader known as the Silverback, located in the Middle East.
