Hm, I though I saw him later in something else. Oh, well.

Ya, that was the mission where slipknot ran off and lost his hand (the
explosive bracelet he wore) Plastique was on that mission too. (I think she
managed to escape while on that mission as well only with all her body
parts).

True could be a follow up or turning point in a game. Have the players be
Defiants for awhile then latter when they get caught, make a "Suicide
Squad". (Basically Delta Squad only with the really low survival rate
missions, you could also use this to go around the world more while still
keeping the messed up US as the center piece.

Heh, most things remind me of the Suicide Squad, they did it all. The Squad
was kinda like a alternate for Arkarm (sp). "Oh, this guy got beat by the
Batman, and he's not insane just mean, we have a place for you. Allow me to
introduce you to Amanda Waller." She even won a stare down with Batman,
Boomer (Boomerang, the villain) was terrified of her and she had no powers
(or gimmick weapons etc...).
