Synopsis

Kobra's plans are foiled by the various government agencies as they work together to stop his pulse cannon and destroy his space ark. As Kobra was able to easily manipulate the different government agencies into mistrusting and fighting with each other, President Bush decides a little restructuring is in order. Sarge Steel is put in charge of all covert meta-human operations and Eiling is put in charge of all military meta-human operations. Checkmate is removed from Task Force X and absorbs Project Peacemaker. Waller is left in charge of the Suicide Squad as long as she promises to behave.
