Red Hood and Superman Should Switch Teams In DC Comics
In DC Comics, Red Hood and Superman differ immensely in their world views, but they would be perfect as the leader of each other's teams. Currently, Superman leads the latest iteration of the classic WildStorm team, The Authority, while Red Hood leads Task Force Z, a dysfunctional zombie group. And while it may seem inappropriate for Superman to lead Task Force Z on the surface, switching places with Jason Todd would provide a powerful commentary on his character's trajectory within the past thirty years of comics.
Task Force Z is a team of zombified villains who had originally perished in the A-Day attacks on Arkham Asylum at the beginning of DC's Infinite Frontier era. Currently, the team includes Bane, Deadshot, KGBeast, Sundowner, Man-Bat, Zsasz, and Arkham Knight, (previous members include Mr. Freeze and Mr. Bloom) with the entire operation overseen by Two-Face. The villains have been reanimated thanks to doses of the Lazarus Resin, a substance that also curbs their cravings for human flesh. Thus far, Matthew Rosenberg and Eddy Barrows' series has revealed that Jason has been passing intel to Batman throughout the operation, but Red Hood's alliance with the Bat-Family has been under thin ice in recent issues. Likewise, Superman's Authority team includes iconic WildStorm duo, Midnighter and Apollo, alongside Natasha Irons, Enchantress, Manchester Black, Lightray, and Omac, featured in Action Comics by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Riccardo Federici after they debuted in Grant Morrison and Mikel Janín's Superman and the Authority.
