~ Slade while torturing Leslie Willis
Task Force X are the secondary antagonists of the 2023 animated series My Adventures with Superman.
They are a secret government organization that was founded after Zero Day, where a Kryptonian ship, led by Nemesis Omega attacked Earth. They work with another organization called Checkmate.
22 years ago, Nemesis Omega attacked Earth, unaware the rest of the Kryptonian Empire were dealing with Brainiac at the Time. Nemesis Omega's forces, the OMAC drones, effortlessly decimated the US army. After Nemesis Omega retreated, Sam Lane and Amanda Waller, two generals of the army, began to reverse engineer the leftover technology. After years of extensive testing, they began to expand their operations. One location was Area 52, a Cadmus funded lab which they destroyed after failing to produce the desired results.
Season 1[]
A black-market arms dealer named Leslie Willis had stolen several pieces of their reverse engineered tech, keeping an electric generating weapon for herself. Her attacks on Metropolis would start the superhero career of Clark Kent, who would take the name Superman. Noticing the similarities between him and the invasion force, Task Force X made it their mission to track and study the hero, fearing him to be a scout for another invasion force. Over time, several other villains attempted to fight Superman and lose. One of these was Anthony Ivo, a local tech mogul who was designing weapons for Task Force X, including the Parasite armor.
Eventually, their operative, Slade Wilson, led a team of kidnapped Supervillains to fight and capture Superman. Successful, General Lane personally oversaw the interrogation. During the time, Lane expressed doubts that Superman was involved with the invasion, as he would have been a baby at the time. Seeing her comrade's faith waiver, Amanda Waller organized a mass prison break, intent on replacing Lane as leader. During their escape, Ivo lost control of his armor growing to gigantic sizes. The people of Metropolis then shut off the power, helping Superman stop Ivo's rampage.
Season 2[]
Slade and new operative Damage would attack the ship Clark came in, where a digital copy of his father Jor-El, explained the events surrounding his arrival and the events of Zero Day. While failling in capturing Superman, Slade did get a sample of kryptonite.
Sam Lane would go missing, prompting a rescue from Superman and Lois. The two discovered Task Force X had built a secret lab/prison under Stryker's Island Penitentiary. The duo finds Lane, and several captured humans, leading to a fight with another operative, the Atomic Skull. Leading a mass prison break, they successfully escape with the help of Jimmy and Ron Troupe. While Waller is being chewed out by her superiors, Ivo attempts to attack her, only to be stopped by his assistant, Alex, who calls himself Lex, and offers to be partners.
Lex would use his newly created company LexCorp to buy out AmerTek, a local lab that had almost destroyed the city with its unstable core reactor. Lex would add their robotic drones, Metallos, to the forces of Task Force X.
Lex would convince the government, STAR Labs, and Lois's old friend, Hank Henshaw, that Superman is a threat to the people of Earth after he fought Atomic Skull.
