In some ways, Wildstorm’s StormWatch: Team Achilles looked at what happened when you had talented but ‘normal’ people acting as a team against super-powered opponents.

Or for superheroes and spies, Wildstorm’s Sleeper did a great job of mixing the two.

If I recall correctly, when Truman dissolved the OSS the surviving members became the first incarnation of Task Force X, later to be known as the Suicide Squad.

So that’s what Hunter S. Thompson was doing during the war…

I seem to recall an Unknown Soldier backup where Control decided to take a mission himself. (For whatever reason: info only he had, unwillingness to see anyone else die on his orders, or death wish.) I wanna say he parachuted into occupied France, still with his pipe clenched in his teeth.

After the war, apparently Control created Argent, sort of a higher authority or arbiter to the world’s espionage agencies, intended to keep the playing field level. (I guess.) Control does make an appearance in Ostrander’s Suicide Squad…but he’s looked better.

So does this mean we’re going to get a “Why I Should Write The OSS” series of posts?

Something that has probably been said before: “Why is Michel Foucault playing with that man?”
