The original Rick Flag was the leader of the first Suicide Squad. His son, Rick Flag Jr., led the second incarnation of the Suicide Squad, or Task Force X.
Rick FlagThe 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. In the end Flag sacrificed himself to stop an old Blackhawk nemesis called the War Wheel but not without leaving behind a son.
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. Two members of the team along with the yeti fell into a crevice. One survived bitter and angry for being left behind by his teammates. That man survived his life saved by the Chinese and healed by them, and soon after was transformed into the cyborg Koshchei the Deathless. Rick's 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.
One Year Later
One Year Later Rick Flag is revealed to be alive (not the result of the "retcon punch", simply his own skill) and rescued by Bronze Tiger from a secret Quarci prison after imprisonment for 4 whole years until Amanda Waller learned he was still good and well and had Tiger break him out. Later on in his epic adventure of a life Flag is transported to Skartaris with old friend turned enemy Rustam after killing Rustam and returning home it is revealed that the man who thought he was Rick Flag Jr is really a soldier named Anthony Miller who was brain washed by Wade Eiling into believing he is Rick Flag Jr. After getting rid of the implant that was keeping him brain washed Miller stays on the Squad as Rick Flag commenting that it will always need a Rick Flag.
