Colonel Flag is the field leader of Task Force X, a black ops government unit composed of super criminals that takes on missions with the lowest success rates for a commuted sentence. Even Flag is implanted with a nanite bomb in his head to prevent insubordination. Task Force X was deployed to Gotham Zoo to retrieve their AWOL comrade, Killer Croc. They found him with Harley Quinn and demanded his return. Harley pretended to be a hostage and drop kicked Captain Boomerang. Colonel Flag ordered Deadshot to capture Croc without killing him after he woke up Boomerang. Deadshot pointed out he only had live rounds. Flag implored him to be creative and prove he wasn't a mindless killer. He managed to knock Croc out. When Harley arrived and checked his pulse, Flag shot a tranquilizer dart into her neck. Boomerang realized she was Harley Quinn. They speculated why Harley was meeting with Croc when Boomerang discovered a stolen gem in her handbag. Harley came to and kicked him in the crotch. Flag was at a loss for the reason she was standing. Harley explained she had an immunity after years of being exposed to toxins and potions. Boomerang gave chase and refused to use non-lethal means.
Croc grabbed Flag's arm and destroyed the device used to trigger the nanites then crushed Flag's tranquilizer rifle. Croc explained he needed time off to be an animal or he would go crazy. Flag countered that wasn't how the task force worked and they all had to follow orders, even him. Harley caught up to them and Deadshot shot her handbag. She kicked him in the face and realized the gem was shattered to pieces. Harley was annoyed and declared she had to stop trying to do the right thing. Flag told her to step aside but was back handed. Harley tried to take Croc with her but he resisted. They were surrounded by a tactical team led by Amanda Waller, the task force's supervisor, and Croc complied with her orders.
