Opps wrong explosion. And yes she (Plastique) was not on the team long as I
recall either. I totally forgot about the Jihad (this stuff came out while I
was in the Marines, did not get too many comics in Japan and Africa so
missed a few here and their. It (the series) was gone by the time I EAS'ed.

Oops missed this.

I was just pointing out about how most of the Squad were at one time or
another defeated by Batman.

Another Idea similar to this would be if someone had it in for JFK and was a
high up insider. They might be able to set up a sort of Squad type team and
sort of back them and send them to mess up JFK's plans here and there.
Especially if this Insider was around when Supreme took JFK to the hospital
;) This way you could still do SS and still fight the Delta Prime/Squad.
