At some point, Katana became a member of Amanda Waller's Task Force X, a black ops team of super criminals who work off their prison sentences. Dispatched to Gotham City, Muscle and Katana attacked Straightman in an alley outside Simon Trent Theater after he was darted by Deadshot. Muscle slugged him then Katana kicked him into a pile of trash. Straightman was still conscious to Muscle's surprise. Katana stressed patience. Joker threw out smoke bombs and fled the scene with Straightman. Task Force X returned to their local headquarters. Batman arrived and fought the team. Deadshot raised his gauntlet to the back of Batman and teased it would be a shame to blow his head off after he saved his sorry butt. Batman already deduced Deadshot was the marksman who fired a dart into Straightman at the fight prior. Katana found Batman as charming as ever. Muscle and Batman exchanged words. Katana asked Batman if he was walking out peacefully or if it was going to be messy. King Shark liked messy. Amanda Waller told the team not to bother since there were only five of them against one of him and he would not leave until he was ready so she wanted to hear him out.
Katana was part of the team that accompanied Waller to Taqueria Tiki to recruit Harley Quinn. Harley quickly declined. Waller ordered King Shark, Captain Boomerang, and Katana to take Baby Doll, Roxy Rocket, and March Hare instead. Before March Hare could blast Katana, the tops of her ears were sliced off. Harley caved and agreed to do Waller's dirty work once it was revealed Poison Ivy was being held hostage. After a long night, Task Force X arrived at the Pizza Clown Family Restaurant. Katana asked Harley if there was an arcade or funhouse she and Joker didn't use as a hideout. Harley feigned amusement and but replied there wasn't. Deadshot asked for the skinny on the place. Harley warned the team she and Joker booby-trapped all the games and clowns to explode just in case Batman came to investigate. King Shark saw a whoopee cushion and sat on it. Harley could not warn him in time and a bomb was detonated, taking everyone out. Joker used the Psi-Ber Helmet on everyone except Harley and King Shark and made them his personal army.
They commandeered a S.W.A.T. van and stormed the south entrance of Camp Finger. Batgirl, Robin, and Colonel Haslett took cover behind a giant satellite dish. Robin saw Deadshot with a bazooka. Batman swung and and kicked Deadshot. The bazooka went off and the explosion took out Muscle and Boomerang. Robin warned Batman Katana was behind him. Harley fired a tranquilizer dart into Katana's neck. Harley apologized and promised she was welcome to join the next Girls Night. Katana and the rest of the team were restored to normal with the helmet thanks in part to being under Joker's control for only a short time.
