The Death Squad is a highly trained and well-equipped squadron of mercenaries who specialize
in assassination (as if the name didn't clue you in). They first appeared when they attempted to
kill Tony Stark, CEO of Stark Solutions, for an unknown client. They later fought Iron Man, Stark's
armored bodyguard on behalf of Vittorio Silvani, nephew of Count Nefaria. The Count seems to have
been behind both attempts.
The Death Squad appears to have been in operation for some time, as they work extremely well together
as a unit and have a high degree of individual skill.
Using the Death Squad in Your Game: The Death Squad is most appropriately used to try and kill
someone near and dear to the characters, perhaps a team sponsor or even the secret identity of one of
the characters.
