The first Rick Flag led a small squadron of men in World War 2 called the Suicide Squadron. It was a disaster as only Flag survived the first mission the rest of the members died, with this Flag's success increased but at a price of his mortality. Soon after World War 2 Flag married Sharon Race and a few years later when the Justice Society of America disappeared Flag was called into Task Force X by the President. The Task Force X had two divisions: Argent (which dealt with civilian matter) and masked villains, the second division dealt with national crisis.

Rick Flag Jr

After the first Rick Flag's death he was replaced by his now grown up son, Rick Flag Jr who was leader of a public team but one mission in Cambodia went horribly wrong as his team was pursued by a Yeti.

girlfriend also secretly had his son giving him up for adoption far before Flag even had an idea. Flag worked covertly until being placed in a new squad, formed by Amanda Waller which much to his dismay he resumed. He loathed working along with former criminals and killers such as Deadshot and refused being alike with them in any way whatsoever.

It was revealed that other Squad member Nightshade had feelings for him but it was never revealed to Flag. Flag also befriended Squad members Nemesis and Bronze Tiger, the whole relationship inside the squad was a complicated mess but loyalty was no object as the missions continued. In a terrible mission with a different squad all members but Flag were killed thus causing Senator Clay to threaten to reveal the Suicide Squads existence thus causing Flag to go on a mission of his own to kill the senator although in the end it was Deadshot who shot and killed the Senator and the Squads existence went public.

During a mission Rick Flag set off a nuclear bomb in a Jihad stronghold, the result of the explosion: his death but this was not the end for flag.
