Task Force X, or the Suicide Squad, were barely used in "Justice League Unlimited," but boy, did they make an impact. But just who makes up their ranks, and why should you care?

Vanishing Point Idea: Since Katana never appeared, who has Rick's back in the DCAU?
“This is the Clock King, he’s got my back!”
Katana sort of existed, at least a differently named similar character that appeared in Fury. The one who may or may not have had a thing for Areisha depending on how you interpret the dialogue.
He’s ruthless he don’t need a back up agent
We need Katana in a sequel man
Shrimpy Bebo “I’d advise you to be timely around him. He kills people for being late which is why he is called the Clock King and part of Task Force X!”
“So we’re some kinda ‘Hoopicide Squad’?”
Wait clock king, CLOCK KING got an action figure but plastique didn’t!?
Will N also she’s too hot to have a toy huh huh
Well, he did appear in more than one episode at least
you guys should make a top 10 fridges in the DCAU
Number 1: Kyle Rayner's.
@@bacsilva this comment is how I love my coffee: cold and dark
B. Catão Ouch that was so dark
B. Catão That’s a low blow
@@bacsilva Jesus you beat me to it
Does Condiment King have an action figure? If not, then DC really needs to ketchup. Without him, their figures just don't cut the mustard. I for one, would really relish his inclusion. And... I think I ran out of condiment puns. Slag it!
running out of condiment puns sounds like quite a pickle
ok i will take the hint and cheese it
Your channel is the most underrated thing ever
True man true
Hoop squad v. Suicide squad: dunk of justice
Static's expression at 47 is the look of a man who does not want to return to madness for he cannot embrace that wicked consequence, he cannot risk it, he cannot comprehend it he cannot HE CANNOT.
Is that Kingdom Come Lex Luthor I hear?
@@michaelandreipalon359 If it is I don't know I think was just stereotyping/mocking the concept of Lovecraftian Horror even though I never read a single book from the man due to the concept of madness in the face of the alien but I have heard about his influence on DC Marvel, Evil Dead, Souls, D&D and Berserk.
and to think, Plastique was only 2 days from retirement
Very awesome, always love seeing the Squad around. A DCAU set Squad series or short would be cool.
Tentacle Corner we did have Justice League vs the Fatal Five, so a DCAU Suicide Squad movie could be possible
@@autobotproductions1244 Anything and everythings on the table in my mind, its just a matter of if WBHomeEntertainment sees an opportunity or not.
Because It Is Thursday It's Pudding Day On Thursday And The Clown Likes Pudding
She was so close to freedom, but then Deadshot... *Blew* it... Up...
Preston K. Productions did she die or was her face sacred?
@@srstriker6420 How should I know?
Preston K. Productions just saying
Throat probably got shrapnel, in my headcanon. Sure sounded like it, considering her gurgling.
Ignoring the characters that DID get figures, but were so poorly distributed as to be impossible to obtain without spending a fortune, my vote is for a Granny Goodness figure.
Yeah, it got difficult in the end. One of these days i plan on getting back to trying to find the likes of Shadow thief and Atomic Skull.
@@falleneldor, I'd buy all the ones I missed if I could get them for reasonable prices. There was a 4th World box I never did find and I really could use a Lightray to go with my other New Gods figures. Then there's Volcana ...
@@lynnwalker5576
The thing about lightray though, was he was very dingy gray-ish tone instead of a bright white. Kind of like the black & "gold" booster gold. I swear Mattel f'd up on purpose to make us buy the corrected version later.
4:32 I feel attacked after my comment on the Catwoman hair video now.....
Oh crap, that crossover between static and cadmus arc sounds good.
I remember being on the playground talking about the episode of Static Shock with the hoop squad.
Okay when the hoop squad visor popped up all I could hear is the omntrix sound effects
I still need a Joker figure from the Beyond era
Top 10 times katana had flags back
I have a question for EVERYBODY in this comment section? If you could have any show in the DCAU either picked up or just 100% created, what would it be?
For me, I’d either want a show on the Flash in JL or one simply called Rogues: basically, they’re self contained episodes that delve deep into the origins of the villains of the DCAU. Sure, we had Two-Face in BTAS, but what about how he grew up and became a district attorney, and the end of that episode could be the start of when we first see him in BTAS. The end of season 1 *finally* shows us the origins of Hamill’s Joker, and season 2 starts with the Superman villains
It has to be a Blue Beetle Booster gold buddy cop movie through time, or just a Shazam series when he is too young to be on the justice league or teen titans, and makes a c list team to show the league whats what
OXOTNHK aka D3ath Patr0l
Not gonna lie, both sound pretty cool
I would like a shazam series or justice league beyond show!
9:53 my sentiments towards every character in the DCAU who doesn’t have a figure 😩
#JusticeForPlastique
Ebon is high on my list for action figures I want. Also Static and Gear. Lil Romano Static. African Spider. The snake guy from that episode. Rubber Bandman. Hotstreak, Talon and Finally Ebon-Streak from the last episode sadly.
action figure: Rubber Band man... that comes with his DJ mix tape.
More batman beyond characters and superman tas characters would be cool.
Oh oh and She-Bang and that Scientist who could turn things into sand.
0:14 Had me in the first half not gonna lie
I'll go with b2k figures since static shock was talked about and b2k are canon
How about a Legion of Doom/Secret Society roster break down?
Give us a Zeta figure!
Yay birthday vanishing point! If only I was a patron earlier so I could have gotten a shout out oh well maybe when I get a job soon *foreshadowing€
I agree with your comment on static,the plot about the quantum jice and bangbabies would have fit so much with the cadmus arc
bashenga the black manta well it appears to be it’s own thing
@@srstriker6420 yeah originally static wqs not conceiv to be part of the dcau
bashenga the black manta and It was probably for best, but do you know who should have been part of Cadmus arc, the ultra Humanite because he really wasn’t a bad guy in the DCAU really should be the league ally
More videos about -Hoop Squad- Static Shock guest star episodes and their implications, please.
Top 10 times they where going to use charecter x,y or z but didn't or couldn't.
Thank you Matty.
I had to wait for the drive home from vacation to watch.
I don't know why you made a video on these chumps and not the Hoop Squad.
As for characters who need figures I'd say the sewer king. I think he does have one, but we need a set with his orphan army. All of them. #JusticeForSewerOrphans
Here here!
Egg Baby: could be life sized.
Where was the hoop squad during the apocalypse of 09. Is that how Ras was stopped? Did they unleash their full b-ball power? We need answers
Spellbinder needs a figure
They really need to make Ten more episodes of Justice league unlimited just to put Bloodwynd , Black Lightning and Blue Beetle along with Firestorm
@09:35 "Then this happened."
H&R Block ad: "Right now, she's doing her taxes."
I’d want a Cat Man figure. He’s the only Justice Guild member that doesn’t have a figure.
Merchue, Grandmaster Thorton of the Triple Fat Goose Mattel was notorious for starting and not finishing groups/teams 😭
I always wanted a young Static figure. Also Gear.
I don't remember ever seeing Zeta figures and from what I remember Batman Beyond lacked in villains even though he had a wide array of interesting rogues.
My list of characters that deserved an action figure:
-Solovar.
-Green Lantern Kai Ro.
-Sandman (Wesley Dodds).
-Starfire.
-The Riddler.
-Jason Blood.
-Ra's and Talia Al Ghul.
-Blight
-The Phantom
-Metron
-Granny Goodness
Those would be the characters. Maybe I could think of others. But those are quite essential for me, and I really love them
And Clayface from The New Batman Adventures
Lock-Up deserves a figure
Honestly, I really want a Spellbinder figure, as well as an older "Future Shock" Static.
2:00 some kinda,suicide squad
Mattie: Most of you guys know by now that I follow politics very closely.
Me: *sweats in gamer*
Gamers don't stop sweating.
I have idea for vanishing point Damian wayne
I watch these and realize my DC geek cred is lacking. But, I’ve got a Masters in Star Trek, so it balances out.
(What I’m saying is the attention to detail in these is amazing!)
Yea dude Ebon for sure. I always thought Ebon was the guy that recruited Virgil to go to the docks in the origin episode. Am I wrong?
Nah, different guy. That’s Wade. Different characters.
Epic Adrian 3D Ebon and shadow thief, it’s pretty confusing isn’t it

Oh boy a new video
I'm sure that this Suicide Squad has stopped or diverged several dangerous threats. Another interesting and entertaining video. Keep it up!
I watch your channel enough that you were in my recommended feed
Nice! That Subscribe button will help us out in more ways than one... 😘
0:35 to 0:49 video ends
we need a figure for Shelby the Smooth Collie
also great vid. loved it!
Clock King being absent could be explained away as... If not disposed or whatever, he's either released or he's one of those behind the scenes types. He is a tactician after all, an intellectual and planner. It'd be a waste for him to be on the front lines.
You’re one of the only youtubers I watch that can actually say “The only show that...” lol Idk if I’m happy or sad about that
Mattie Washburn I hope there is and I’m glad you did, keep up the great work
I want a series about the suicide squad in the dcau
Watching this after hearing the sad news on Arleen Sorkin... her well renowned Harley Quinn may have never become an official Task Force X member in the DCAU, but dang, she would have nailed the voice role again regardless if she retired or not.
Anyhow, abstaining on the action figures 'biz. Am not that into collecting those anytime soon, for books exist.
Thinking about Duane McDuffie today. Monumental talent, inconceivable lose.
What I do not get is why trust a pair of villains
I'll go with it. #JusticeForPlastique
Was reading new suicide squad when I saw this notification.
You have to be the only person in the year 2019 to be looking for a Project Zeta action figure revival.
So was the Suicide Squad a part of Cadmus or was it a separate entity that Waller oversaw like in the comics? I always thought Lexcorp was involved with the gas from Static Shock but Waller and Cadmus makes a hell of a lot more sense.
Literally watching Static Shock for the first time all the way through on DC Universe. Where do you rank it in the DCAU?
If we include The Zeta Project on the ranks, I'd say it's sixth place out of seven. Even then, however, it's only because it's easily eclipsed by the Batshows, Superman, and the League.
Hey it's my birthday!!! 19 and proud to be a watch tower database fan!
Happy birthday!
@@dcauwatchtower thank you!
I've watched Justice League Fatal5 and if it is cannon to the DCAU could Green Lantern the animated series be part of the DCAU. With Fatal 5 confirming Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner being lanterns in the DCAU could the GL animated series possibly be the unofficial tie in?
Harvey Bullock, Rene Montoya, Batwoman, Mayor Hill, Perry White, Jimmy Olson, Kyodai, Ubu, Bride Of Man-Bat, Tygress, Romulus, Roland Daggett, RUPERT THORN!
Speaking Of... Wouldnt it of been cooler if instead of a brand new character in Sonia Alcana as the "cop" batwoman, just had it be Montoya?.. you'd have to change the ending a bit but whateves
Batman his villains are all insane so cant be put on trial. So they go to arkham. Villains like boomerang are not insane so they go to a normal jail and can be put on trial. If joker was sane he would have been sentenced for life
DCAU Suicide Squad > DCEU Suicide Squad.
You should make an episode by episode comic by comic timeline for dcau
Oh we will! Gotta break it all down first though!
we do need Static figures!!
I want to believe that Plastique (barely) survived the explosion thanks to Captain Atom, and this eventually led to them getting hitched in the DCAU sometime down the line.
Also, where's my Mophir action figure??
Fargoth Ur so she sacred for life then
@@srstriker6420 Captain Atom has a tinfoil tan, so they're made for each other
Rory Scott 😂
Why did I laugh?
3:20 - 3:27
The one time I was down unda in the Australia country, there wasn't a video...
Has it been two weeks already
Mattie you;re funny.
A teenage static from his actual show
Yes! A Plastique figure. Action figures are now cannon. Please, for your own sake, accept it.
we are some kind of task force x?
Top ten critters? I'm not sure the fans of Critical Role will be happy if you rank them.
Any tips on using the Blue Yeti mic to it’s fullest potential?
Awesome
Just a quick question I was wondering if you guys think that justice league action could fit into the dcau
Nah, different universes. But we’ve heard from one of the writers that the writing team often referenced DCAU continuity as a way to pretend to play in that sandbox.
Watchtower Database oh ok
do you have a full timeline list we can se?
I think you’ve taken the X designations too literally. I think they get assigned mission by mission. The same goes for who is recruited for which missions. Hypothetically Waller could have dozens of incarcerated recruits. She simply drafts who she needs for the mission. Some members may get more missions due to familiarity, reliability and versatility.
It’s likely we as an audience only see the most relevant missions and clearly for a comics continuity it makes sense to show us a core group of characters to develop the continuity that builds an invested readership.
There’s often a few new rotating characters and for all intents and purposes they are mostly red shirts. Can’t really build up the idea of how dangerous the missions are or how serious Amanda is about enforcing the brain bombs she had implanted in squad members without having us lose people along the way.
So I think this could also explain clock Kings absence too. He has kind of a limited ability. Making a great coordinator, remote leader instead of a field leader. Another guy who’d easily fill that role would be Calculator.
Mostly agreed, but the bombs-in-the-neck thing was never established in the DCAU. It’s more implied they’re forced to participate or they’ll just be sent back to their normal sentences. And with the X’s thing, I would think changing the numbers per mission would get pretty confusing. “X-4, did you do the thing? ... X-4?” “Oh, sorry, that’s me this time isn’t it? I was X-2 last time.” “Wait, I thought I was X-4!” And then something explodes.
Watchtower Database not sure if you’ve ever watched a movie like the Dirty Dozen but oddly it’s not a terribly different plot. Military degenerates are recruited to participate in a suicide mission of sorts. Rag tag group of losers, crazies and of course a few earnest types we can root for. They go over the plan relentlessly. A similar scene is shown with clock king running them through the steps and where they need to be so the timing is flawless.
I think you review it per mission you won’t forget your job and assigned designator .
But seriously this is unlikely a job that they do daily Just as needed.
@@ontapmedia Right on Terrence St. John! You said it better than I ever could.

We don’t really have a canon explanation for Croc’s change in appearance, but we DO explore the idea in our webcomic, “Legacies of the DCAU”! legaciesdcau.com
Thanks:D
Hey everyone
...I want to know which severely-underpaid intern at Mattel made the executive decision to give an action figure to the non-combative (at least in JLU) Clock King instead of Plastique, who actually gets to fight with the Squad on the show.
If I had to hazard a guess I'd say that it was either the classic "our male demographic doesn't want to play as female characters" bullsh*t or them not knowing how to toyify her bomb-making abilities without making some stiff-lipped parents really mad.
@@mattiesavannahpahl9934Oh, okay then. Interesting. He seems like a very random character to through in with those three, but I guess they just needed someone to fill in that last slot and he happened to fit with them nicely.
Also, since I didn't answer the question earlier, I guess that it would've been cool to get a figure for the Post-Mutation General Eiling because as far as I know he only got a figure in his human form.
In Fugate's defense, he did do some pre-Homura Akemi (from Puella Magi Madoka Magica) time manipulation awesomeness in his second/last Batman: The Animated Series in "Time Out of Joint".
Since when did power rangers join DC?
Power Rangers crossed over with the live action TMNT in the 90s. Those Turtles I think crossed over with the 2003 Turtles. 2003 Turtles crossed over with the CGI Turtles and THOSE Turtles crossed over with BTAS. So assuming they're in the same multiverse I say they joined in the 90s. Or if you want to make it simple The Red Hood Fan Series on youtube crossed over with some kid Power Rangers thing on youtube
@@ashtraysonsundays4274 yea I know all this I was just joking btw I read comics
@@davidogundipe808 Thats good cause I barely read any :)
@@ashtraysonsundays4274 so basically just the live action and animated movies and games you watch and play
The squad? More like La Squadra.
So here’s two mysteries, penguin’s and what happened to the royals flush gang the teen titans ones?
If you’re talking about the Titans members we show in the Vanishing Point intro, we wound up doing that one as a Sunday video: ua-cam.com/video/mJMkl5cWazM/v-deo.html
Watchtower Database no, the voice cast of the royal flush that are the teen titans, we know what happened to Ace the child but what about the other members ?
Speaking of Ebon, do you think there’s a connection between him, shadow thief and the shade?
2:42
Uh huh
Any chance I can join?
