  • Frank Grillo has revealed why he thinks Rick Flag Sr is Creature Commandos‘ most tragic character
  • The titular group’s leader is going through a lot when we first meet him
  • Grillo says events in the R-rated Max series showcase his “vulnerability” as a man

Creature Commandos star Frank Grillo has offered his thoughts on why Rick Flag Sr may be the animated show’s most “tragic” character.

Speaking to TechRadar ahead of the Max series’ debut on December 5, Grillo, who voices Flag Sr, suggested the team’s commander-in-chief is arguably the most vulnerable member of the group. Indeed, Grillo believes that, despite his leadership qualities, Flag Sr’s “humanity” means he’ll be more conflicted than his superpowered DC comrades when asked to make difficult decisions.

It isn’t just Flag Sr’s lack of superhuman abilities that endangers him throughout the DC Cinematic Universe (DCU) TV show. Full spoilers follow for 2021’s The Suicide Squad movie, so turn back now if you haven’t seen it.

As Grillo explains, the death of his son – Rick Flag Jr – in The Suicide Squad is still weighing heavy on his mind; an emotionally devastating event that may also impact the choices he makes in Creature Commandos.
