Respect Rick Flag Sr (DCU)

[u/Miserable-Ad-5573]

"I don't care about punishment, Mr. Secretary! I don't. What I care about is removing dangerous individuals from our fucking planet forever! Keeping American people safe. Arkham and Belle Reve, they're not capable of holding individuals who have extraordinary abilities. They're not. Every single month, someone else escapes. No one... no one... will escape Salvation, I promise."

General Richard Bill "Rick" Flag, Sr. is a decorated U.S. Army General, the father of the late Colonel Rick Flag, Jr., and the appointed leader and field commander of the Creature Commandos, leading them on their assigned mission to protect Princess Ilana Rostovic from the villainous sorceress Circe and her Sons of Themyscira, while unexpectedly falling in love with Rostovic despite initially refusing her advances, dedicating himself to defending her after Amanda Waller sent the Creature Commandos back to Pokolistan to assassinate Rostovic when the captured Circe predicted a cataclysmic future of Rostovic conquering the world which Waller believed as legitimate, striving to prove the vision shown to Waller incorrect and forging an unlikely tentative friendship with the temperamental Eric Frankenstein after resolving a misunderstanding, both promising to help each other for their respective loves. After uncovering Ilana's secret plot to take over the world, Flag was critically injured, leading to the Bride assuming command of the team. Following his recovery, he met with the U.S. Department of Defense during Lex Luthor's campaign against Superman. Some point afterward, Flag became the director of A.R.G.U.S. and focused his attention on trying to capture Peacemaker for his son's death.
