Notes:
Rick Flag Sr. is the grandfather of Rick Flag, the late former leader of the current version of the Suicide Squad.
Argent is the name of a sister agency to the original Suicide Squad, which is part of Task Force X, and also the name Rick Flag Sr. and Karin Grace have given to an extra-terrestrial that is on their team.
The original Task Force X faced the Red Wave Monster on their first mission in The Brave and the Bold (DC, 1955 series) #25. In that issue it was referred to as the Beast from the Red Wave, and it was left in orbit around the sun. Presumably later it was retrieved and imprisoned on the Moon.
