PersonalityEdit

Rick is a smug and arrogant person. He likes to harm his hostages. His personality is identified as malicious.

Season TenEdit

Rick was among the the members of a mysterious group that attacked and abducted Oliver Queen at the satellite station. He interrogated and tortured Oliver for information about his team and his involvement in the recent alien attack. He later released Oliver, but warned him that he wasn't through with him yet, and traded him for another hostage, Chloe Sullivan.

Rick had Plastique and Deadshot track the heroes, as he encountered Oliver who was searching for Chloe. After getting into a fight with Oliver, in which he grazed him with a bullet, tagging him with the mark of the Suicide Squad, He told Oliver that she had killed herself by ingesting cyanide pills. He and Plastique later broke Deadshot out of prison.

Rick Flag targeted General Sam Lane for his support and contribution for the vigilante registration law. He aims to eliminate those who would force heroes and super-powered people to come out of hiding. Later to justify his assassination attempt on the general (he fired a missile that was meant to eliminate Sam Lane and those in his company), he said he did so to keep the Act from being passed, however it almost killed Lois Lane, had it not been for the Blur saving her and showing General Lane that some heroes like the Blur need to be "in the shadows". With the Act had finally passed, Flag was forced to make his move by having his Squad members take down Anti-Vigilante support areas.

Rick Flag and Suicide Squad member, Deadshot, joined forces with Chloe Sullivan to save the Justice League from the VRA's abduction and experimenting of their special abilities. It was revealed that Chloe had threatened to turn him over to the government after his attempt to murder General Lane in exchange that him and his squad follow her orders.

In the ComicsEdit

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. In the end Flag sacrificed himself to stop an old Blackhawk nemesis called the War Wheel but not without leaving behind a son. 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. 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. During a mission Rick Flag set off a nuclear bomb in a Jihad stronghold, the result of the explosion was his death but this was not the end for flag. One year later Rick Flag is revealed to be alive 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.
