Red Hood's New Team Just Hit the Disgusting Limit of Their Healing Factor
Warning: contains spoilers for Task Force Z #5!
New team Task Force Z is starting to fall apart in more ways than one, and Red Hood can't keep them together. While getting his team members to follow his commands has always been a struggle, Red Hood has always been able to keep them relatively in line. However, new developments threaten the very existence of his team going forward.

The undead criminals (Man-Bat, Deadshot, Arkham Knight, Mr. Bloom, Sundowner, and Bane) have varying degrees of cogency, but are effective weapons under Red Hood’s command. The one living villain on the team, Mr. Bloom, is kept in line through the dampening of his powers, but his motivations for being on the team are mysterious. However, both the living and dead parts of Task Force Z seem to be coming undone in the latest issue.

Red Hood’s dead teammates aren’t the only ones who seem like they will have issues
