The vials came from the group SANCTUS who later had their partnership dissolved from the Agency. They later encase the Riddler's deceased body in a container after learning he survived the virus. Their interference causes a clash with <a href="/wiki/Jim_Gordon_(character)" title="Jim Gordon (character)">Commissioner James Gordon</a> and the GCPD; depending on the player's choice, Batman can either come to trust and ally with Waller and the Agency, straining his relationship with Gordon or continue being at odds with them, stand with Gordon and prefer his help. Regardless, Waller blackmails Batman to act as a double agent within the Pact upon somehow finding out his true identity and learn their motives and stop them from stealing the vials containing the virus by threatening to reveal his secret identity if he does not cooperate. The showdown between the Agency and the Pact occurs at the hideout of SANCTUS which ended with Harley Quinn getting away with the virus and Mr. Freeze getting infected. In the end if the player chooses the path where Doe becomes the vigilante Joker, Waller will feel betrayed and the Agency begins attacking both Batman and the Joker with Waller even having Bane, Quinn, and Catwoman under her control and forcing them to fight Batman and the Joker, during which the Agency suffers losses and many members are killed. Regardless, Waller will later pull the Agency operatives out of Gotham City. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="A.P.E.S.">A.P.E.S.</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_government_agencies_in_DC_Comics&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: A.P.E.S."><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b>A.P.E.S.</b> (short for All-Purpose Enforcement Squad) is a semi-independent U.S. governmental division within the D.E.O., possessing government IDs for multiple agencies ranging from the FBI to Scotland Yard and SMERSH; an agent has described the organisation as possessing more clearance than God.

During season one, a faction of the A.S.A. led by Martin Proctor (portrayed by <a href="/wiki/Gregg_Henry" title="Gregg Henry">Gregg Henry</a>) has been abducting emerging metahumans and having them stored in pods so that he can build an army. He even planned to expand it by arranging for <a href="/wiki/Black_Lightning" title="Black Lightning">Black Lightning</a> to be abducted so that they can harvest his DNA. By the season finale, A.S.A. agents assault the Pierce family and Peter Gambi at a house in North Freeland which led to where Black Lightning, <a href="/wiki/Thunder_(DC_Comics)" title="Thunder (DC Comics)">Thunder</a>, and Peter fought some of them which ended with most of the agents dead or retreating when <a href="/wiki/Inspector_Henderson" class="mw-redirect" title="Inspector Henderson">Deputy Chief Henderson</a> and the police were approaching. During a confrontation at one of the warehouses storing the metahuman stasis pods, Martin is briefly attacked by <a href="/wiki/Lightning_(DC_Comics)" title="Lightning (DC Comics)">Jennifer</a> and shot by Gambi. The news media broadcasts the information that exposed Proctor's rogue operation. As for the briefcase, it falls into the hands of <a href="/wiki/Tobias_Whale" title="Tobias Whale">Tobias Whale</a> following his, Syonide, and <a href="/wiki/Painkiller_(comics)" title="Painkiller (comics)">Painkiller</a>'s raid on an A.S.A. base where he had Proctor's thumbs salvaged by his coroner ally. In season two, Lynn Stewart works with the A.S.A. agents that work for Agent Percy Odell (portrayed by <a href="/wiki/Bill_Duke" title="Bill Duke">Bill Duke</a>) in preserving the pods to the point where they even enlisted convicted scientist <a href="/wiki/Helga_Jace" title="Helga Jace">Helga Jace</a> to assist in it. As one of the contents in the briefcase, Tobias Whale's latest ally Todd Green cracked the code contained in it which revealed that the A.S.A. was developing metahumans for Project <a href="/wiki/Masters_of_Disaster_(comics)" title="Masters of Disaster (comics)">Masters of Disaster</a>. At the same time, Agent Odell secretly has the Pierce family under surveillance when he gets suspicious of them. By the end of season two, Agent Odell visits the Pierce family with his knowledge on Jefferson, Anissa, and Jennifer being Black Lightning, Thunder, and Lightning. He mentions that the metahuman pods have attracted the attention of the Markovians who have reclaimed Helga Jace and would like Black Lightning, Thunder, and Lightning to help the A.S.A. when the Markovians turn Freeland into a battleground. In the third season, Agent Odell starts having the A.S.A. soldiers round up any young metahumans and have Deputy Chief Henderson impose a curfew to keep the young metahumans from falling into the hands of the Markovians. Odell is assisted by Commander Carson Williams (portrayed by <a href="/wiki/Christopher_B._Duncan" title="Christopher B. Duncan">Christopher B. Duncan</a>), Major Sara Grey (portrayed by <a href="/wiki/Katy_O%27Brian" title="Katy O'Brian">Katy M.

It was also revealed by Tobias Whale to Issa Williams that Martin Proctor worked for Odell and Odell works for the <a href="/wiki/President_of_the_United_States" title="President of the United States">President of the United States</a>. The A.S.A.'s motives have often clashed with a resistance that is secretly led by Chief Henderson. By the season three finale and after the Markovian invasion on Freeland, Carson Williams is killed by Lynn Stewart in self-defense, Sara Grey is killed by <a href="/wiki/Technocrat_(comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Technocrat (comics)">Technocrat</a> during his and Gambi's shootout with her commandos, Gardner Grayle sides with the rebels, and Odell is wounded by Khalil and arrested. During the congressional hearing where Black Lightning exposed the A.S.A.'s experiments as well as Markovia's experiments using the decrypted briefcase they have, Representative Nagar states that Odell will be prosecuted and the A.S.A. will be disbanded. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="B">B</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_government_agencies_in_DC_Comics&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: B"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="B.A.A.">B.A.A.</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=List_of_government_agencies_in_DC_Comics&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: B.A.A."><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <b>B.A.A.</b> (short for Bureau of Amplified Animals) is a U.S. government agency that monitors and deploys enhanced animal super-operatives.
