Redemption Squad

The Redemption Squad is a group of "reformed/reforming villains" in the Gargoyles Universe, set up and controlled by the Director. They are the protagonists of the Gargoyles spin-off, Gargoyles: Bad Guys, which was released as a comic book mini-series.

Characteristics

Its field leader is Robyn Canmore, and its other members consist of Dingo, Matrix, Yama, and Fang. The Redemption Squad's purpose is to battle various figures which the Director views as a threat, including minions of the Illuminati; its members were chosen since, as "bad guys," they were considered expendable by him. Its headquarters are in Paris.

Trivia

The concept of the Redemption Squad was inspired by the movie The Dirty Dozen. There could also be some influence of DC Comics' Suicide Squad, an older team of imprisoned supervillains offered clemency if they participate in extremely dangerous black ops missions as expendable agents.
