#Department of Extranormal Operations

[bonewaryreblogs]

I’ve decided how Batman meets Danny Phantom.

While connecting characters between DC and DP, I came across the DC villain Pariah, who shares a name with DP villain Pariah Dark. I’ve decided that these two are the same person and fighting him will bring Danny Phantom into contact with Batman, or at least get Danny onto his radar as someone to look into further.

But first, some backstory...

Since we don’t know much about Pariah Dark, other than being sealed away a long time ago, I’ll mostly be pulling his backstory from Kell Mossa, a scientist who accidentally brought his universe to Anti-Monitor’s attention and watched it be destroyed as the only survivor, renamed Pariah by his savior, Monitor (Anti-Monitor’s “good” twin brother). He involuntarily watched Anit-Monitor destroy several other universes, blaming himself for (supposedly) releasing Anti-Monitor, though he is later assured that Anti-Monitor was just doing what he had always done and Pariah had simply diverted his path of destruction. Pariah is dropped off in a random universe, where he tried to live a normal life, though he was constantly drawn to impending disasters that he had no hope of preventing, as no one heeded his warnings (like a mix of Pokemon’s Absol and Greek’s Cassandra); he was killed and revived a few times, only to eventually fall through the cracks of reality and driven insane. Instead of being found by Flash and sent to the “paradise world” called  Earth-Flash.1, Pariah became the first inhabitant of the newly formed Ghost Zone pocket dimension and declared himself the Ghost King, sometimes calling himself Pariah Dark. (He may or may not have connections to the cosmic Great Darkness, I haven’t decided)

Pariah decides to use the ghosts of the Ghost Zone to invade the living realm of Earth but now he needs a lieutenant he can trust...

After turning completely evil, Eclipso was replaced as the Wrath of God (yes, THAT God, cuz apparently He exists in DC) by Aztar, who instead calls himself the Vengeance of God, and is bound to a human host to keep him from turning evil like Eclipso did. He’s had many hosts over the millennia and his most recent host, James “Jim” Corrigan, had been the hero Spectre with Aztar since Jim’s “death” around 1940, but he was getting old and had chosen Detective Crispus Allen of the Gotham Police Department as his replacement in 2005. The ritual to transfer Aztar’s host was interrupted by Pariah Dark and Aztar was “recruited” as Pariah’s lieutenant, killing Jim and leaving Cris unpowered and in distress. Pariah convinces Aztar to join him by promising freedom to choose his own path rather than be tethered to some goodie-two-shoes human and Aztar accepts. Danny is called on to defeat Pariah by the ghosts that don’t want to serve the self-proclaimed King (most of whom end up being Danny’s various Rogues Gallery) and is thrust into leading the resistance; meanwhile Cris enlisted the help of Batman and the rest of the Batclan (and maybe some members of Justice League Dark), who join the resistance as well.

I’m thinking this will be the first big crisis Damian will participate in as Robin, though I’m not sure if I want Duke Thomas (Signal) to have been recruited yet or not; if he has been recruited already, he’s still in training and hasn’t become Signal yet. I’ll get my timeline ironed out for my next post.

Various other connections:

There is a Pandora in both continuities, so after she “accidentally” released the Crime Syndicate (evil JL) into this universe, she decided to move and found the new Ghost Zone to be acceptable, as the inhabitants amused her. She recognized the ectoplasm that saturated the pocket dimension as being related to the Fountain of Life but didn’t bother looking into it or telling anyone because she didn’t want to risk them ruining her fun. She let the Box Ghost steal her box and toyed with Danny before agreeing to help him retrieve it. She could probably take down Pariah on her own but that would be really hard and this resistance thing sounds like more fun than she’s had in ages anyways.

DC Cronus is more-or-less the same as the god from Greek mythology but has also been equated with Chronos, the Greek god of time. After Cronus was imprisoned in Tartarus by the Olympian Gods, Clockwork was given his duties as the God of Time by Hera, loosely working with the Quintessence’ Observants.

Speaking of, DP’s Observants seem to fulfill a similar role as DC’s Quintessence, so I’ve decided that the Quintessence are the gods in control but they employ the Observants to catalogue and categorize events for the Quintessence so they don’t have to do everything themselves. The Observants are the ones who decide what deserves the attention of the gods in charge. I’ll probably have the Quintessence decide the fate of the Ghost Zone after Pariah Dark is defeated.

The Guys in White are an obvious reference to the Men in Black. Looking up various government agencies in the DC Comics, the Bureau of Normalcy (formerly Bureau of Oddities) seems to serve a similar function, so I’ve decided that GiW and BoN are both departments of the larger Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO), where the GiW are specifically focused on eliminating threats from ghostly (and similarly paranormal) origins, while the BoN handles cover-ups and convincing the public that everything is “normal” and work both in the field and in cyber security. BoN people often accompany other agencies to run interference so the other agencies are able to do whatever they need to do without fear of being seen or regular people getting in the way. The GiW was beginning to investigate the uptick of paranormal activity in Amity Park and would have contacted SHADE if they ever discovered Danny Phantom was anything more than an ordinary ghost.

Other departments include Knightwatch (general military enforcement), the Suicide Squad (generally works with Knightwatch, enlisting the aid of established heroes and villains alike, the roster constantly changes), Squad K (which is specifically designed to take out Superman if he ever went rogue), the Super-Human Advanced Defense Executive or SHADE (focused on talent acquisition), Project Cadmus (technically Research and Development, but actually trying to clone heroes for SHADE), the Department of Metahuman Affairs or DMA (the public face of SHADE), and probably others I couldn’t find in my quick search.

Revisiting Creature Commandos

With the ending of Creature Commandos, I thought I’d take another look at the fan fic. As I looked over my roster I thought “should I put Cheetah on the Creature Commandos?”

Martian Manhunter Legends: DEO

The Department of Extranormal Operations first appeared in 1998 as a branch of the government specifically dealing with superbeings, aliens, magic, and things like that. They notably cross paths often with the Martian Manhunter, due to his alien status.

In an adaptation, naturally, an origin with J'onn trapped on Earth and trying to get home would have a natural place for the DEO as the "bad guys" so to speak, investigating and hunting this supposed alien invader.

The new chapter of Miraculous World Tour: Gotham is up! Originally, it was going to be all fight but then I was like "do I really want to describe what twenty different people are doing in this akuma battle or do I want to get the fuck on with the real plot?" and I decided to get on with the real plot. Preview after the cut as usual!

-snip-

"What was that about death earlier?" Kate asked, frowning.

"Viperion has the power of Second Chance," Alex said. "Basically, he starts a time loop and keeps resetting it until the team makes it through. Absolutely vital when one of the team members is solely responsible for the successful resolution of the fight. Since Ladybug by nature of her powers cannot be expendable, Viperion's role is to ensure that she doesn't fall, and if she does, to reset the fight until they find a way where she doesn't. Based on the stats he gave, you were on the eighth time loop and the previous seven resulted in four cases where Ladybug and Chat Noir were suborned by the akuma's power and three where one or both of them died."

"And they've been doing this how long?"

"Going on six years now," Jones said. "Wonder Woman has been keeping the Justice League out, but DEO has been monitoring the situation since Ladybug teamed up with the United Heroez in New York a few years ago. Plus there was the attack of the Miraculized last year, during the battle that led to the defeat of the original Papillon."

Kate shivered. "I wondered where those freaks came from," she said. "Were they worldwide?"

"Almost. They predominantly attacked places where Ladybug or Chat Noir had been seen in the past, however: New York, Paris, and Shanghai particularly."

"You can add Rio de Janeiro to that list," Kate said. "I saw a group of them fighting some guys in red robes on the beach there before the robed guys disappeared into a..." She trailed off as the security camera footage she was watching Ladybug console the akumatized victim on showed circle made of pure white light appear in midair beside the two. "...into a portal just like that one."

"Ah," Jones said. "Bunnyx. She's a member of the team, but she's not seen in the field often. Her power allows her to access everywhere in space and time, possibly even alternate timelines. She usually only shows up when things are especially dire."

"What is she doing there?" Alex said, trying to zoom in on the image. Unfortunately, the camera was already at its highest fidelity, so all she got was a pixelated blob. Whatever it was, it was pink and metallic. The akuma victim took it reverently, staring at it for a moment, then immediately tackled the rabbit heroine in a hug.

"All right, so what do you want me to do?" Kate said.

"You just did it," Jones said. "Bunnyx showed up here before the attack and asked me to have you come in and provide assistance over comms to her team."

"And you just believed her?"

"She let him read her mind," Alex said.

"I still have a headache," Jones grumbled. "She has so much information in there."

"All of time and space, huh?"

Jones eyed the bottle of headache medicine bitterly. "They do not make a pill that eases the pain of too much information being processed too quickly. Never read the mind of a demigod if you can help it, Kate."

"I'll uh..." Kate frowned. "I'll try to remember that?"

"In the meantime, the Paris team is likely to be regrouping in Gotham to celebrate their victory and unwind, and I imagine you'll be welcome to join them."

"Wait, in Gotham?"

[stealingyourbones]

Fic prompt, Young Justice era:

Robin(Tim) and Superboy break into the Fenton Ops Center after discovering a faction of the DEO that was created exclusively for dealing with ghosts.

They came across this sub-agency while combing through hacked documents after saving Greta, and found out the Department of Extranormal Operations formed the Ghost Investigation Ward and gets special ghost-hunting weapons from mad scientist inventors in a small Illinois town.

Danny (with his sharper senses) hears the break in and goes to investigate with the Fenton Creep Stick. Robbers get hired on occasion to steal inventions that aren’t patented yet. He hears movement just on the other side of the door and goes in swinging. Hits Superboy in the back and makes him stumble, which causes serious alarm from the two heroes.

“That actually almost hurt!” Superboy says in surprise, staring wide-eyed at the new kid holding a splintered baseball bat.

“You cracked the Creep Stick,” Danny stares at the bat with his mouth open. “I didn’t know it could break.”

“Rob? I think this guy has powers.”

Danny looks up, blinking in shock, “Your name is Rob? And you became a Robber? Dude. You don’t have to define yourself by what your parents named you.”

Superboy tries to hide his laughter while Robin sputters. “I’m not - They didn’t -”

“Oh!” Danny has an epiphany. “Did you name yourself that? I chose my name too, but I’m just Danny. I didn’t go and name myself after an illegal profession. Like, can you imagine if I was an arsonist named Bernie? Or a skeevy car salesman named Otto? I know it’s hard to choose a name when you’re trans, and, I gotta admit, being a robber named Rob is hilarious, but there’s more options out there, I promise. For names and career paths.”

Superboy is wheezing at this point and Robin’s face is near fuchsia. Instead of addressing any of that, Robin gets angry.

“We aren’t robbers! We’re heroes! I’m Robin. that’s Superboy. Your parents sell weapons that hurt people and we’re here to stop that!”

Danny tosses the broken Creep Stick over his shoulder and smiles wide.

“Why didn’t you say so! Oh man, this is great. I’ve been sabotaging their stuff for years. If you’re here to help I’ve got a couple projects you can definitely smash.”

Thinking about Greta Hayes, Ghost Girl Extraordinaire...

How she was trying so hard to escape the DEO (Department of Extranormal Operations)... AND DECIDED TO HIDE IN A CEMETARY OF ALL PLACES.

And then we have this switch up???

It makes sense because she's so used to scaring people into not bothering her in the DEO.

Fortunately, the people that found her though were the Just Boys of Young Justice.

Brazen, fearless, and a bit upset at government agencies who trap kids in a facility to study, run tests, and well... make sure they can never come back.

[demonic0angel]

I am not terribly familiar with Anita or Greta of Young Justice. Can you tell me their deal?

Omg I’d be happy to! They’re some of my fav characters :D

I will say that all of my knowledge comes from the Young Justice (1998-2023) comic series and not much else lmao. DC did them so dirty.

*SPOILERS*

So Greta Hayes (AKA Secret, but also called Suzie before she remembered her name) is one of the original 6 members of Young Justice (1998). Tim, Kon, and Bart met her by saving her from a government organization called the Department of Extranormal Operations. Her life began normally, but after her adoptive brother killed her (by throwing a radio into her bath), she died, came back to life, and was then taken by the DEO to be experimented on.

She joined the Young Justice team after the 3 helped her and the rest is history. She has ghost-like abilities, but is a tad different from the DP ghosts that we know, since she can’t phase through things or hit people. She also can’t control her powers very well. She is called a ‘Warder,’ which is similar to a grim reaper but not? She is something like a door and/or guardian to the underworld and can bring people inside of her for safekeeping/imprisonment, and she helps dead people move on. However, her keeping people inside of her is extremely traumatizing, and bc she accidentally terrified the YJ before, she briefly went to the dark side and joined Darkseid in getting revenge before she snapped out of it and then lost her powers completely after Darkseid grew angry at her, becoming human.

Anita Fite (AKA Empress) is the daughter of one of the agents working with DEO, funnily enough. She was inspired by Arrowette (Cissie King-Jones) who stopped a robber before she joined the YJ since Arrowette left the team. She has a small ability to be able to control people with her voice (from the Anti-Life Equation) and also has knowledge of occultism/vodou. Her mother was accidentally killed by her grandfather and after her father also died (purposefully this time), she and the YJ (with a bunch of other heroes) stormed the country where her grandfather lived and took him down. With Secret’s unintentional help, she was able to get her parents back, but they’re now reincarnated as babies.

She doesn’t have much known about her bc she was an original character and was relatively new to YJ, joining almost halfway through the series after Arrowette left. Since the series got cancelled….. yeah.

With my DPxDC ideas, I like to imagine that Dani meshes really well with them both due to her abilities and backstory as Princess of the Infinite Realms. Sometimes, I stare into the distance and curse the DCU editorials for cutting off this series.

ITEM FILE #2213

ITEM: "Glycon's Grove"

ITEM HISTORY: Broadcast from 1987-1996, Glycon's Grove was a children's puppet show that debuted on public television stations accessible in Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa. After three episodes, the anomalous properties of the show were confirmed, and access to public television wavelengths was restricted. An agreement with Glycon's Grove production team (Oddy See) and the Office was reached wherein Oddy See would receive funding and distribution through OPN-approved channels, while all scripts, dialogue, and visuals were sent to the Parafiction Department for approval and study. After a brief interruption, Glycon's Grove was then broadcast nationwide (and in Canada and Mexico through agreement with RCOE and SER) on thaumic wavelengths decryptable by "analog augury"-compatible television sets, cable TV packages catering to the extranormal community, and distributed via VHS consumer hardware.

Glycon's Grove centered around the adventures of the titular Glycon, referred to as a "snake" despite his crude sock-puppet appearance. Glycon, often the energetic but patient voice of reason, would counsel his friends during common children's show storylines of the time, teaching lessons such as manners, the importance of reading and creativity, and honesty. The idea of snakes as "important, friendly creatures" was a common recurring topic. The show took place in the Grove of Olympus, with the rest of the cast being more typically-constructed puppets of a minotaur, hydra, cyclops, aquatic creatures, and in later seasons, a large "Cerebus" requiring multiple puppeteers to operate. Every few episodes, one of "the gods" (played by one of the human puppeteers in costume) would enter the Grove and provide the cast with that episode's challenge or conundrum. "Dio" was portrayed by actor Kenneth Young as a "surfer dude" always holding a family-friendly can of grape soda. "Heff" (Baker) often cajoled the cast into trying his new inventions, while "Arty" (Brown) asked for help in locating her lost pets.

Numerous interviews and investigations conducted by the Office concluded that while each other puppet in the cast (a list in the image above) was credited to and clearly played and voiced by a human puppeteer, Glycon's puppeteer, if they existed, was never credited or seen at any point. When interviewed, other members of Oddy See insisted that Glycon was "just Glycon" and did not acknowledge any puppeteer. During studio tours, Glycon was observed to move around the studio in ways that would be challenging for a human-puppeted character, EG, in one room and suddenly another, manifesting on multiple parts of a sound stage in rapid succession, always behind a barrier that could have reasonably obscured a human puppeteer from any Office observer. Attempts to isolate all visual angles in a given room often failed, resulting in Glycon appearing from a loose ceiling panel or other improbable locations.

Glycon "himself" always agreed to interviews, providing they could be done on Oddy See studio property, citing his "bum leg" as an inability to leave the property. He was at once forthcoming and evasive, simply repeating that he was "a puppet" when asked about his state, and that he "needed a new gig" as one of the reasons he started Glycon's Grove. Interviewers commonly reported Glycon as "charming" or "funny".

Parafictional research into Glycon's Grove and similarities to a mytho-folkloric figure of the same name are ongoing to this day.

Titans Defeat Volcanic Villain

April 27th, 2025

Written by: Piera Landen

Early this morning, at approximately 5:39 EST, the Titans were called in to investigate a late-night supervillain attack on Kosciuszko Bridge in New York City. What they didn’t know was that the early morning light would soon illuminate a murderous volcanic villain.

The team was reportedly contacted by the Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO), a secretive branch of the United States Government responsible for monitoring people with superpowers and managing those who are incarcerated. Very little is known about the organization aside from that.

In this instance, what is known is that the DEO was transporting an unknown number of powered individuals to Stryker’s Island Penitentiary in Metropolis. The transport was attacked late last night, at an undisclosed time, by a group of supervillains. They succeeded in defeating the DEO security team and freeing at least one prisoner from the transport vehicle before escaping to the wind. All members of the security team survived the encounter, aside from some minor injuries.

The Titans, asked to investigate the attack and determine the potential culprits, were ambushed by one of the villains left behind by the assailants. They fought Volcano Man, a minor supervillain who has previously battled the Challengers of the Unknown and the Doom Patrol. Volcano Man is, as the name implies, a sentient being made of lava. Thankfully, the Titans were able to quickly subdue him by depositing him in Newtown Creek, successfully extinguishing him.

Wonder Girl, in dual posts made to the official Titans pages on WayneSky and L, explained that the extinguished Volcano Man will be collected by DEO operatives and be transported to Stryker’s Island Penitentiary. This time, a member of the Titans will oversee the transport, ensuring the successful transfer of the supervillain.

She did not reveal any further information on the villains involved in the attack on the transport or who they liberated, but vowed that the Titans will hunt them down and capture them. We at the Daily Planet sincerely hope that Wonder Girl’s words will ring true. In the meantime, if you see any wandering supervillains, make sure to contact the proper authorities.

Task Force What? An Incomplete (Yet Still Very Long) Guide to Some of the DCU’s Government Groups [Part 1]

So, you’re reading DC comics and a government agency pops up that you’re reasonably sure doesn’t exist in the real world. Who are they? What’s their deal? Here’s a quick primer on some of the groups that you may encounter.

A few notes and disclaimers: This writeup is primarily based on post-Crisis, pre-Flashpoint/New 52 comic canon. I’ve tried to note every exception to that general rule. Also, several of these groups and comics use historical markers tied to the real world, which makes less and less sense as we-as-readers get farther away in time from when these comics were originally published. DC eventually stopped using real people and events so frequently in comics to help with their timelessness, but I’m going to include the historical figures and times as depicted in the source material, even if that means the same Batman is supposed to have been active in the 70s and also in 2011. Just don’t worry about it.

This writeup is split into three parts, described below. This section is the most dense, dealing with the history of 13 agencies, some of their key players, and the organizations' general missions. Special thanks to my editors and beta readers for helping me shape this up.

Part 1: Organization Descriptions and Histories

Task Force X

Argent

The Suicide Squad

Checkmate

Central Bureau of Investigation

The Agency

Project: Peacemaker

Department of Extranormal Operations

All Purpose Enforcement Squad

Project Cadmus / The DNA Project

Human Defense Corps

A.R.G.U.S.

Spyral

Part 2: Timeline

Part 3: Reading Suggestions

Task Force X

One of the most famous of DC’s government groups, Task Force X is sometimes used interchangeably with “The Suicide Squad.” However, that’s (at least originally) not quite accurate! Task Force X was a government program that housed two clandestine programs: Argent and The Suicide Squad. Task Force X was originally started in the 50s by President Truman to make up for the disappearance of the Justice Society of America after Senator McCarthy summoned them before his House of Un-American Activities Committee and tried to force them to unmask. Task Force X was designed to deal with the “extraordinary” (read: metahuman and alien) threats that might face the U.S. government. Argent was the domestic program, while the Suicide Squad was international. The leader of Argent took his team and disappeared in the 60s, while the Suicide Squad disbanded soon after due to budget cuts.

Task Force X would be revived in the 80s when then-congressional aide Amanda Waller would present to President Reagan a plan to revitalize The Suicide Squad, this time utilizing supervillains for high risk, clandestine missions in exchange for reduced prison time. Waller also envisioned the reorganization of intelligence group The Agency, which would become the intelligence-focused division of Task Force X. The Agency would be led by former Doom Patrol member Valentina Vostok until its reorganization into Checkmate, at which point Harry Stein was named Checkmate’s King. Although Central Bureau of Intelligence leader Sarge Steel had significant reservations about Task Force X, the President ultimately approved the project. 

After an inter-departmental war known as the Janus Directive, Task Force X was dissolved as an umbrella organization. The Suicide Squad and Checkmate were made fully independent of one another, with Sarge Steele assuming direct control of Checkmate from Waller, who stayed on as the director of the Suicide Squad.

Argent

Argent was the U.S. based division of the original, 50’s Task Force X that dealt with domestic and civilian “extraordinary” encounters. Originally led by a man named only as “Control,” Argent went underground after Control killed a man connected with the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963. Control’s vision for this new, even more secretive Argent was an internationally focused spy agency for justice, though little is known about how effective he was. Presumed defunct, Argent was not revived when Amanda Waller proposed her new Suicide Squad. Eventually, the new Suicide Squad made contact with the remenants of Argent, and were witness to the ultimate end of the program.

The Suicide Squad

Originally, the Suicide Squad was the self-given name of WWII platoon with a depressingly high fatality rate. Over the course of the war, the squadron found themselves on Dinosaur Island, which certainly didn’t help those numbers. Richard Montgomery Flag Sr. was brought in to help lead the group, turning the squadron around into a highly decorated division of the Army.

In 1951, after the Justice Society was driven underground, President Truman created Task Force X to be able to combat “extraordinary” threats now that there were no costumed heroes to rely on. Truman requested that Flag Sr. lead The Suicide Squad, which focused on international threats. This group was largely composed of veterans of the WWII Squadron S. This version of the Suicde Squad was disbanded after the death of Flag Sr.

A third version of the Squad was created by General Stuart, tapping Rick Flag Jr. to be its leader. This team continued to deal with extranormal threats, but disbanded after a mission in Cambodia that saw the loss of half the squad. It was also revealed that regardless of the fatalities, budget cuts demanded the end of the program.

The most famous version of the Suicide Squad was proposed by congressional aide Amanda Waller to President Reagan in the 1980s, following the Legends event. Waller envisioned a revival of Task Force X as an umbrella program, with the new Suicide Squad being staffed by incarcerated supervillains. These villains would undertake high-risk, clandestine operations in return for reduced prison sentences. Part of the appeal of this model was the deniability: in the event that an operation went poorly, the government could simply blame it on the supervillain. President Reagan approved the program–Waller was the leader of Task Force X, which included both the Suicide Squad and The Agency, which was soon remade into Checkmate.

This Suicide Squad operated out of Belle Reve penitentiary, which was a maximum security prison specializing in holding supervillains. The initial administration of the Suicide Squad consisted of Amanda Waller as its director, Belle Reve’s warden John Economos, psychologist Simon LaGrieve, bureaucratic assistant Flo Crawley, and pilot Briscoe. Waller brought in Rick Flag Jr. to serve as her field leader and Ben Turner, the Bronze Tiger, as second in command. While the Squad certainly lived up to its name and reputed high mortality rate, notable team members include Eve Eden, Nightshade; Floyd Lawton, Deadshot; June Moone, Enchantress; and George Harkness, Captain Boomerang. I’m not going to spoil the whole Oracle plot for you, but know that Barbara Gordon actually debuted as Oracle in the pages of Suicide Squad, so consider this your sign to go read Suicide Squad (1987).

After the events of The Janus Directive, Task Force X was dissolved as an umbrella organization. While Waller was left as the director of the Suicide Squad, she no longer had any leadership in Checkmate, which had passed into the control of Sarge Steel, director of the Central Bureau of Investigation.

After a number of missions, Waller eventually disbanded the Suicide Squad, finding herself disillusioned with the Squad’s goals. However, because this is comics, the Suicide Squad would not stay dead for long. Waller would periodically create new incarnations of the Squad to address spontaneous issues that would arise, often crossing over with other superheroes' adventures. During Lex Luthor’s presidency, Waller would be appointed Secretary of Metahuman Affairs, taking Sarge Steel’s place.

After Checkmate was rechartered as an United Nations organization, Amanda Waller took a position as the White Queen. To limit conflicts of interest, this effectively meant that the Suicide Squad was permanently disbanded, as Waller was prohibited from operations and could not be involved in the leadership of both organizations. This didn’t stop her, however, and Waller formed a new incarnation of the Suicide Squad that began Operation: Salvation Run. This project involved rounding up all supervillains and deporting them to a prison planet via Boom Tube (yes, really) where they were supposed to stay indefinitely. Waller was eventually ousted from Checkmate, but not before she and her Squad managed to deport the majority of Earth’s villains. The Suicide Squad would have to confront its ghosts during the Blackest Night event, when zombified fallen members of the Squad came after living members, but further adventures were cut off by Flashpoint.

Checkmate

Checkmate started from The Agency, a quasi-independent intelligence focused division of Task Force X led by former Doom Patrol member Valentina Vostok. Vostok brought in former NYPD lieutenant Harry Stein, who soon reorganized the group into Checkmate. Borrowing from chess’ hierarchy, Stein was King, working with his Queen counterpart to coordinate various agents. Bishops oversaw Rooks, who planned missions for support agents–Pawns–and special agents–Knights. Checkmate operated out of Konig Industries in Shelby, Virginia until the events of the Janus Directive. During that event, Checkmate lost roughly 40 Knights and its Konig cover was blown. With only a third of its agents, Checkmate was subsequently forced to relocate to a NORAD base in Colorado.

Harry Stein resigned as head of Checkmate after his son was shot, leading Sarge Steel to promote Phil Kramer to King and Kalia Cambell to Queen. They would lead Checkmate against Jade Nguyen, the assassin known as Chesire, during the time she took control of several nuclear warheads and bombed the nation of Qurac. At some point Checkmate would establish their division between black side, which ran operations, and white side, which was primarily intelligence.

Bishop Jessica Midnight recruited Sasha Bordeaux, Bruce Wayne’s former bodyguard, into Checkmate. Bordeaux had been imprisoned due to suspicion that she was an accomplice to Bruce Wayne's alleged killing of Vesper Fairchild. Checkmate faked Bordeaux’s death in prison and provided her with plastic surgery to assume a completely new life as a Checkmate operative.

After Kramer, former Knight David Said would become the new King of Checkmate. He would lead Checkmate against Batman in Gotham City, a campaign that saw them abduct Helena Bertinelli, the Huntress, and install her as Queen in an attempt to have her share secrets from Batman. This arrangement was actually a plan between Batman and Huntress, however, and Bertinelli ended up serving as a mole for Batman on Checkmate. 

For this next section, I choose to believe that Checkmate was a victim of Superboy-Prime’s altering of reality in the leadup to Infinite Crisis. Checkmate is suddenly headed by Maxwell Lord, Said and Bertinelli are nowhere to be seen, and Lord’s motivations are massively different from any of his previous appearances. Regardless, under Lord, Checkmate amassed information on every metahuman on Earth with plans to eliminate them. To do this, Lord was given access to the Brother Eye satellite, and together they controlled over one million OMACs–civilians that had been injected with nanotechnology to make them unwitting cyborg sleeper agents. When Ted Kord, the Blue Beetle, discovered what Lord had been up to, Lord killed him and instructed Bordeaux to dispose of the body.

Sasha sent Blue Beetle’s goggles to Batman, alerting him of Kord’s death. Once Lord knew that Batman was on his tail, he accelerated his plans, using his mental manipulation powers to take control of Superman and send him on a rampage to keep other heroes occupied. When Wonder Woman caught up with Lord, she bound him in her Lasso of Truth and commanded him to tell her how to set Superman free. The only option he gave her was for him to die, so Wonder Woman snapped his neck. Upon Lord’s death, Brother Eye immediately activated all OMACs and began the King_Is_Dead protocol, which involved killing every current Checkmate agent. Bordeaux, who had been imprisoned by Lord after he discovered her subterfuge, escaped, though not before her own unique OMAC programming activated. Lord had intended for her, as his Knight, to be a special type of OMAC, leaving her somewhere between human and machine. Later, Bordeaux would team up with Batman and other heroes to take down Brother Eye.

After Infinite Crisis, Checkmate was recharted by the United Nations to be an international group with a stronger system of checks and balances. Checkmate operated under a system of twos: two Kings and two Queens, with a Knight and Bishop for all four royals. Most specifically, the U.N. charter set out a Rule of Two: each position had to be balanced with meta and non-metahumans. As before, Black side was operations while White was intelligence. Bishops advised their royals, while Knights were special agents. Rooks were an elite Black Ops unit, while numerous Pawns were standard agents.

At the time of its chartering, the new Checkmate had the OMAC enhanced Bordeaux as its Black Queen, Taleb Beni Khalid as its unpowered Black King, JSA Green Lantern Alan Scott as White King, and Amanda Waller as White Queen. After Scott resigned as White King his Bishop, fellow JSA member Michael Holt–Mister Terrific, took his place.

This Checkmate frequently clashed with Kobra, the international cult intent on bringing a new age of chaos to the world. However, they also had a non-insignificant amount of infighting. Significantly, Waller was forced out as White Queen after she tried to preemptively remove Bordeaux and Holt, knowing that they were getting close to uncovering her illicit Suicide Squad and their Operation: Salvation Run.

After the events of Brightest Day, Maxwell Lord returns from the dead and uses his power to make nearly everyone on Earth forget about him. He immediately begins to try to regain control of Checkmate, beginning a misinformation and discrediting campaign against Checkmate’s leadership.

Central Bureau of Intelligence (C.B.I.)

The Central Bureau of Intelligence is a sort of corollary to the Federal Bureau of Investigation within the DC Universe. The organization primarily focuses on information gathering from domestic and international sources, then utilizing that information for operations. However, while other groups are focused on “extranormal” threats, the CBI is primarily concerned with “normal” missions. When special assignments do come up, special agents are dispatched.

The CBI was known to be active when Task Force X was being revived by Amanda Waller. While Sarge Steel was both known to be involved in the CBI and important enough to sit in on Waller’s meeting with the President of the United States, it is not clearly stated that he was the director of the CBI at that time. However, Sarge Steel would officially be the director of the CBI by the time of the Janus Initiative. Despite the massive reorganization at the time, the CBI was left largely alone. Steel would be promoted to the Director of Metahuman Affairs, a Cabinet level position wherein he would oversee all metahuman related operations for the federal government.

Among the most notable CBI agents are the aforementioned Sarge Steel, King Faraday, and former Teen Titan Roy Harper. After leaving the Titans, Harper would work for the CBI as a special agent–it was during this period he met Jade Nguyen, the assassin known as Chesire, and conceived their daughter Lian.

Eventually, the CBI would be incorporated into the Department of Extranormal Operations.

The Agency

The Agency was a group led by former Doom Patrol member Valentina Vostok that aimed to monitor superheroes. When Amanda Waller presented her plan to reform Task Force X, the Agency was reorganized into Checkmate. Among its divisions was Project: Peacemaker.

Project: Peacemaker

Project Peacemaker was the program that created and maintained Christopher Smith’s activities as Peacemaker. Originally, Project Peacemaker was a division of the Agency. When Task Force X was revived under Amanda Waller’s proposal, the Agency was reorganized into Checkmate, and Project Peacemaker is implied to have been made its own entity. However, when Task Force X was dissolved after The Janus Directive, Project Peacemaker became folded into Checkmate under the supervision of Sarge Steel.

The Department of Extranormal Affairs (D.E.O.)

In terms of real-world publication, the DEO began in 1998 as DC’s effort to begin consolidating all of the various federal metahuman organizations under one umbrella. In this author’s opinion, this was for the better.

The Department of Extranormal Operations is the U.S. government’s most modern and comprehensive agency to assess and combat metahuman threats through intelligence gathering, field operatives, and their own research.

The DEO conducts extensive research on metahumans and extranormal entities, with various degrees of transparency or consent. The DEO has been depicted to hold individuals against their will in order to study them, to the point of sending either their own agents or other affiliated groups to hunt down subjects that escape. This research seemed to be, in its early depictions, its primary focus. However, the DEO would take broader forays into intelligence, using that information for good… and sometimes to blackmail heroes into working for them.

In most depictions, the DEO is led by Director Bones, a former member of Infinity Inc, who reports to the federal Director of Metahuman Affairs. Bones is the direct supervisor of operative Cameron Chase, who has proved herself an exceptional agent. Through Chase, Kate Spencer–the Manhunter–was brought in to work for the DEO for some time.

The DEO is expansive enough to have several subdivisions within it. One such group was the Department of Metahuman Affairs, where Wonder Woman would work after Infinite Crisis. This subdivision would focus specifically on gathering and preparing intelligence on active metahumans, should the government need it. This subdivision would be led by Sarge Steel, who had left the White House upon the election of Lex Luthor and Luthor’s subsequent appointment of Amanda Waller to Secretary for Metahuman Affairs.

Another group known to be active during Luthor’s presidency was Knightwatch, a more militaristic division that responded to possible metahuman attacks on federal personnel and buildings.

The DEO’s research facilities are detailed in various comics across the 90s. It is gradually revealed that the DEO either maintains or sponsors a variety of training camps and research facilities, sometimes called “orphanages,” that hold metahumans under various states of duress. One example is Secret, the Young Justice member who is shown escaping from a DEO orphanage, and later gets Young Justice’s help shutting down similar experimentation programs. A group of metahumans who escape from the DEO collectively get taken in by the Titans. Conversely, some of the individuals who go on to be the Relative Heroes are depicted to be in a more traditional fostering environment, though it is still connected to the DEO. 

Within the continuity of the Supergirl TV show, as part of the Arrowverse, the DEO is a governmental organization that specifically deals with extraterrestrial threats and encounters.

All Purpose Enforcement Squad (A.P.E.S.)

The All Purpose Enforcement Squad is an international, interdepartmental group of highly trained special agents. APES features most prominently in the Young Justice series, represented by Donald Fite and Ishido Maad. 

While APES has connections to international organizations such as Interpol and Scotland Yard, they seem primarily U.S. based, as APES was the primary group trying to recover Secret, a metahuman who escaped from a DEO research facility.

Project Cadmus

Project Cadmus, sometimes also known as the DNA Project, is a government supported genetic research lab. Cadmus is involved with cloning and gene sequencing for the purpose of creating new life, with their most famous creation being Superboy.

Originally led by Director Paul Westfield, Cadmus employed various scientists engaged with genetic manipulation. The most notorious of these scientists was Dabney Donovan, who created “DNAliens” with inhuman powers. These DNAliens include Dubbilex, the grey skinned, horned telepath who would serve as a mentor to Superboy. Cadmus also employed the adult members of the original Newsboy Legion. These adults cloned themselves to create a new Newsboy Legion, and additionally cloned former NYPD officer Jim Harper–the original Guardian. This new cloned Guardian would serve as head of security of Cadmus.

Donovan was eventually fired from Cadmus due to the extremity of his experiments. Donovan would go on to align himself with The Agenda, another genetic lab responsible for their own Superboy clone: Match. Cadmus would also have an enemy in the form of the Evil Factory, led by Mokkari and Simyan, servants of Darkseid.

After a virus affecting clones and DNAliens breaks out, Cadmus began to receive intense scrutiny. A purification by fire was attempted, with missiles aimed to destroy sections of Metropolis and stop the virus. After the missiles were stopped, Donovan revealed himself to be the mastermind of the virus and killed Westfield, leading Mickey Cannon to be named the new administrative director of Cadmus. This scrutiny forced Cadmus to withdraw from the public eye, going deeper underground.

Under Cannon, Dabney would be kept imprisoned in Cadmus to serve as a scientific advisor under armed guard. Cannon also brought in Serling Roquette to be the new head of genetics–Roquette would eventually be responsible for curing Superboy of the genetic quirk that kept him from aging. Cadmus would continue to withdraw from attention, especially under the presidency of Lex Luthor.

Human Defense Corps

The Human Defense Corps was a group started under President Luthor’s administration with the goal of having an entirely non-metahuman taskforce that could respond to meta-level threats. This was in line with Luthor’s goal of reducing dependency on superheroes, and as such only recruited from decorated military veterans.

A specific subgroup within the Human Defense Corps was Squad K, a division specifically armed and trained to take on Kryptonian targets.

A.R.G.U.S.

You may have noticed that I didn’t put what A.R.G.U.S. stands for up above. That’s because sources disagree. According to the wiki, A.R.G.U.S. stands for Advanced Research Group Uniting Super-humans. A.R.G.U.S. was created post-Flashpoint to be a governmental organization associated with the Department of Homeland Security. Specifically, A.R.G.U.S. aims to support super- and meta-human endeavors, rather than having an antagonistic relationship with the superhuman community.

A.R.G.U.S. took on a life of its own within the TV Arrowverse shows, where it’s called the Advanced Research Group United Support. There, A.R.G.U.S. is the de facto government agency for dealing with metahuman threats. It was formerly led by Amanda Waller before leadership passed to Lyla Michaels. 

Spyral

Before I start to give the details on Spyral, I have to disclaim a few things about it. Spyral was first mentioned in the New Earth timeline, during Grant Morrison’s time with Batman Incorporated (2011). This was immediately before Flashpoint and the New 52 reboot. However, this run of Batman Incorporated kept going within the New Earth continuity past when Flashpoint happened, meaning that the comics had to disclaim that they were still the old continuity, even though the reboot happened. But then! Batman Incorporated (2012) was a direct sequel to the New Earth run, even though this Volume 2 explicitly happens in the post-reboot continuity.

All of this to say, Spyral is an organization that has roots in the New Earth continuity, but was largely fleshed out in the post-Flashpoint universe. Because of the relative lack of information in the pre-Flashpoint continuity, however, we can assume a lot of the later established details can be retroactively applied.

Technically, Spyral is not a U.S. agency. Originally, Spyral was founded during the Cold War to be a United Nations affiliated spy group. The U.N. made former Nazi spy Otto Netz, under the pseudonym Agent Zero, the head of the organization. He was subsequently tasked with recruiting Spyral’s agents and building the organization for the U.N.

Spyral continued into the 80s, at which point Netz was revealed to be a double agent and imprisoned in a lighthouse. Though the organization seemingly collapsed at that point, Spyral’s operations continued. At some point before his imprisonment, Netz recruited Gotham City socialite Kathy Webb Kane into Spyral and tasked her with discovering the identity of the Batman. Kathy developed the Batwoman persona to get close to Batman, though the revelation that Netz was her father caused her to break off contact with both Batman and retreat from Spyral. Kathy Webb Kane was believed to have been killed by Ben Turner, the Bronze Tiger, during his period of being controlled by the League of Assassins.

Netz would be broken out of his imprisonment by the Leviathan Organization, which is a militaristic group led by Talia al Ghul, after her estrangement from her father Ra’s al Ghul. Leviathan seeks to undo much of modern society in order to rebuild the world in a “better” way. Talia set Netz up as Doctor Dedalus to combat Batman and his Batman Incorporated initiative, designing elaborate traps across the globe to keep Bruce Wayne and his operatives occupied. Netz was eventually killed within one of his traps by Damian Wayne, who was attempting to save his father.

It was revealed after Netz’s death that Kathy Webb Kane was still alive, and had faked her own demise in order to become the secret headmistress of Spyral. After Netz’s death, the U.N. officially reactivated Spyral in order to combat Leviathan’s continued growth.

Spyral operates out of St. Hadrian’s Finishing School for Girls. Initially in the New Earth continuity, the school had been a Leviathan facility, training young women as infiltrators and assassins. It was the site of Stephanie Brown’s mission as Batgirl on behalf of Batman Incorporated, and she and Batman managed to stop the Leviathan plot. In the post-Flashpoint continuity, St. Hadrian’s is Spyral’s base, where elite students are trained as spies. It’s assumed that Spyral just took control after ousting Leviathan.

After Dick Grayson was publically unmasked as Nightwing, he joined Spyral to investigate the organization. During this period, he worked with Helena Bertinelli, who was working as the Matron of Spyral. Grayson would continue as Agent 37 of Spyral for some time, until his identity was restored. At that point, he and Bertinelli both returned to Gotham to take up the mantles of Nightwing and Huntress, respectively. With Bertinelli’s departure, directorship of Spyral and the title of Patron passed to Agent-1, the operative known as Tiger.

Another Banger by SCP BOT

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures: No active containment of SCP-XXXX is possible or necessary. The Foundation's Department of Epidemiology is to maintain global monitoring for any recurrence of involuntary diaphragmatic spasms (commonly known as "hiccups") in human populations. Any confirmed cases are to be reported immediately to O5 Command and affected individuals should be quarantined pending full neurological assessment.

Medical teams at all Foundation facilities are to document any potential hiccup-like symptoms in personnel and forward reports to Research Site-77's Neurological Assessment Division. Biannual global sampling studies are to be conducted to verify the continued suppression effect.

Description: SCP-XXXX refers to the global cessation of hiccups in humans following the termination of Humanoid Entity-5477 (codename: "The Count") by Global Occult Coalition forces on March 17, 2003. Prior to this date, involuntary diaphragmatic spasms were a universal human physiological response documented across all historical periods and geographical regions, affecting approximately 4.2 billion individuals daily.

Hiccups have been completely absent from human populations since the moment of Entity-5477's termination. This cessation occurred simultaneously worldwide with no reported exceptions. Medical literature now categorizes hiccups as an "extinct neurological phenomenon," with many newer medical professionals unfamiliar with the condition outside of historical documentation.

Analysis of blood samples preserved from pre-2003 human subjects indicates microscopic alterations to vagus nerve sensitivity not present in any humans born after the incident date. Foundation neurologists theorize that Entity-5477 maintained a subtle parasympathetic connection to humanity that manifested as periodic diaphragmatic disruptions.

Recovered documents from GOC Operation "WOODEN STAKE" reveal that Entity-5477 possessed traits consistent with vampiric mythology, including hemophagic tendencies, photosensitivity, and extended longevity. The entity had evaded detection for approximately 600 years by maintaining a diffuse psychic presence distributed across the human population rather than a concentrated physical form. This diffusion manifested partially as the neurological phenomenon commonly known as hiccups.

Addendum XXXX-1: Interview with Agent D██████, GOC Observer

Interviewer: Dr. Thomas Werner, Foundation Department of Extranormal Affairs

Interviewee: Agent D██████, GOC Embedded Observer

Dr. Werner: Can you describe what happened during Operation WOODEN STAKE?

Agent D██████: The Coalition had been tracking unusual blood-related anomalies for decades. Small-scale exsanguinations, reports of enhanced strength and longevity among certain individuals. The pattern pointed to a distributed consciousness using human bodies as temporary vessels.

Dr. Werner: And The Count was responsible for hiccups specifically?

Agent D██████: We didn't know that would happen. The hiccup cessation was completely unexpected. Our thaumatological specialists theorize that the diaphragmatic spasms were actually microfeeding events - tiny moments when the entity siphoned minimal life force from each human host. Not enough to cause harm individually, but collectively providing enough energy to sustain its distributed consciousness.

Dr. Werner: So humanity was essentially serving as a vast farm for this entity?

Agent D██████: That's the current theory. We've been monitoring for any replacement entities attempting to establish similar neurological footholds in the population. So far, nothing has emerged, but several previously common physiological phenomena are now under investigation.

Addendum XXXX-2: Related Phenomena

Following the cessation of hiccups, Foundation researchers have identified three other physiological responses that show statistically significant declines since 2003:

Isolated sleep myoclonus (hypnic jerks) - reduced by 37%

Phantom limb sensations in non-amputees - reduced by 22%

Unexplained goosebumps in absence of thermal stimuli - reduced by 15%

Research into these potential secondary effects of Entity-5477's termination is ongoing.

Note from Dr. Werner: While the GOC considers this case closed, the Foundation remains concerned about the ecological niche left by Entity-5477's removal. Nature abhors a vacuum, and we must consider what might eventually fill the space once occupied by this entity. Continue vigilance for any emerging neurological anomalies, particularly those with rapid global manifestation patterns.

dpxdc needs more Secret (greta hayes) imo. she was a ghost! she had ghost powers and the ability to walk between life and death! she was captured and experimented on by the Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO), which might as well be a more competent parent organization of the GIW.

Greta is probably what young justice members consider ghosts to be, and she was returned to life. Would Tim/YJ assume something similar of Danny? Would they think of how Secret stuck around due to the nature of her murder, not remembering her name when she had been alive and using a different name (Suzie)? What if Dani stopped by in Pennsylvania and met Greta, Cassie, Cissie and Traya, who all went to the same school?

Blease. Bring Me Home. Anything. It's been so long... ;🥺🥺🥺💜💜💜

I guess we can't say that anymore after yesterday, can we?

So one of the fics I want to write between arc 2 and arc 3 that may or may not come to be has to deal with Danny and Tim's relationships with other people.

Danny will still have his short term romance with Valerie. Which will push Tim to start dating Steph.

But there's another relationship I want to write.

There's a Young Justice member called Greta Hayes, code name Secret. She's a ghost who joins the team after they rescue her from an agency called the Department of Extranormal Operations where she was being held against her will (could they be related to the GIW?????).

Greta has a crush on Tim for a while and she and Steph don't get along because of it.

Now, if you were Tim and you knew a ghost like Greta, what would your first instinct be? Obviously you bring her to the only other teen ghost you know to help train her and introduce her to other ghosts. Get her connected to ghost culture so that she doesn't fixate on not being alive so much.

So basically, I want Danny and Greta to both be hung up on Tim, but he's oblivious and tosses them at each other. They shrug and do the whole "if we can't date Tim, wanna date each other?" shtick.

It goes...okay. Like, it's fine. They get along and they like each other. But let's be real, they aren't each others first choice. It gets worse that Danny calls Tim "Secrets" when Greta's code name is "Secret." She'll get mad if she hears a plural on her name and Danny will get defensive.

Eventually they decide it's better for everyone if they break it off and go back to being friends. And they work much better as friends than romantic partners. They keep in touch after circumstances arise that bring Greta back to life and she goes on to live a normal human life.

Tim doesn't get why they broke up and has no idea both of them were crushing on him for their entire relationship.

---

Thoughts about the future: now that I've decided the Young Justice crew is involved with Team Phantom, I've been focusing on what role I want all of them to play. I have the most plans for Kon because he's the character I know the best out of the bunch. But if anyone has some YJ fic they'd like to recommend, please send me the links!
