Squad Stories: Task Force X #3
“Alright, listen up out there, because I’ve got a story for you. This afternoon, in our very own Hub City, a thirty-foot robot went rampaging down forty-second street. And not just any robot, mind you, but one with a Lexcorp logo stamped on it. “But Vic!” you cry, snug in your armchairs, disbelief on your lips; “Lex Luthor was a bona-fide hero for a time, and then he just disappeared! This couldn’t possibly be his work!” Well, to that I say; you may be right, But I think there’s something else going on. Who’s to say that Lex Luthor isn’t planning something bigger? That this was just a distraction to keep the likes of Big Blue occupied?
Well, if it was, I’m sure ole Lex was upset that the Man of Steel couldn’t even be bothered to show up to his robotic weenie-roast. Instead, we got the newly synthesized, child-friendly and government sanctioned Task Force X, or as they sometimes refer to themselves sardonically as "The Suicide Squad", a team who’s been proving their mettle pretty considerably lately. With surprisingly little effort and some controlled EMP blasts, our merry military band brought down that robot in just a matter of hours.
Now, what I wanna know is, are these guys just franchising the name Suicide Squad, from the now infamous band of ex-super-criminals the government was parading around? Or is there a deeper connection? Sure, their official title is Task Force X, but who’s to say that wasn’t the official title of the original Suicide Squad as well? I think there’s something deeper afoot here. Could the devious and despicable criminal Squad still be out there, running disastrous missions while this flashy and competent Squad provides cover for journalists like myself, and lull us all into a sense of false security? I’m sure you, dear watchers, would like to know as much as I do.
Well that’s all for tonight folks. Tune in tomorrow night as we dig into the mystery of why one cheesy, mostly-forgotten show from the 60’s played on every television screen in the world for eleven solid hours.
Stay safe out there viewers, and keep asking Questions.”
