## History

### The Formation of Task Force X

In 2025, Waller put together Task Force X, and had Colonel Flag be the team leader. She led Flag around Belle Reve, and introduced him to each member of the team. When he met Skruu, he questioned how stable he was, and if he was okay enough to be put on the team. Waller continued her tour, and introduced him to the rest of Task Force X. During the tour, Flag questioned many of the members abilities, and was shocked to hear the reasons some of them were in Belle Reve.

None were more shocking to Flag then Donald Trump, who he had confused for New Earth's Trump. Upon hearing he was a multiversal hero, he quickly questioned Waller's reasons for him being in Belle Reve, to which Waller explained the real reason he was in prison. After being introduced to Task Force X, Flag proclaimed that this was the worst team he had ever seen, to which Waller agreed.

### The Jet Ride

While the members of Task Force X spent their time arguing in the jet, Flag stayed up front, until they were five minutes away from the drop zone. Once they were close, he came to the back and let them know they were five minutes away from landing. During this explanation, he referred to the team as 'freaks', which made Pistachio upset. Pistachio then claimed that he would kill Flag's family, and have sex with his mother as he killed her. This left Flag speechless, and he went back to the cockpit.

The team landed, and Flag told FunnyMan that he would meet the team back at that exact location in three hours. FunnyMan nodded, and the jet took off.

### Checking In

While Task Force X stopped at a Burger King outside of Central City, Flag eventually noticed that their bilps on his radar stopped moving, and talked to them through their earpieces. He asked them why they had stopped there, and Skruu lied and told him they thought they heard a noise inside. Flag told them he didn't really care, and that they needed to hurry up. They all agreed, and Pistachio called him a 'Fuck Face'.

After Task Force X had stayed at the Medical Center for a bit, Flag contacted them, to let them know that Eobard Thawne had arrived at Izzie's Palace. He told them to make their way over to the bar, and they did so.

During Skruu's confrontation of Gru and Gloo, Flag talked to Skruu through the earpiece, and asked him how things were going. Skruu told Flag that he found the brothers, and the weapon. Flag congratulated Skruu, and told him to take the weapon from the brothers. Skruu thought about it, and shut off his earpiece.

### Meeting Gru and Gloo and The Beacon

When Flag went to pick up Task Force X, he saw Gru and Gloo, and confused Gru with Skruu. Gru corrected him, and showed that Skruu had become a minion. Flag just went with it, and brought the Gru brothers to Belle Reve.

After Gru and Gloo left Belle Reve, Flag noticed a blip on their radar. He ran to Waller and showed it to her. When she questioned it further, Flag told her it was a beacon, and when Waller asked where it was coming from, he told her it was coming from Hell.

### The Attack on New York

Sometime later, Flag talked to Waller about the random explosions that happened during Task Force X's mission. His question was answered when a guard came in and told them to turn on the news. When they did, they saw that New York was under an alien invasion, as Thanos rampaged the city. Not long after this, Waller and Flag were called by Doctor Strange, who asked they put a team together to go and rescue Gobby from the Chitauri. They agreed to help, and Flag and the rest of Task Force X made their way to the city.
