(Secret Six III #30, Doom Patrol V #19) - The Secret Six were hired by the newly formed criminal organization C.R.U.S.H., run by Eric Fine, the grandson of one of the founders of the 100. They wanted the sovereign nation of Oolong Island as their new headquarters, and told the Secret Six to dispose of Oolong s protectors the Doom patrol. The Six only agreed after Jeanette and Scandal made it clear they wouldn't kill any civilians, but Deadshot thought they were acting like babies. The Six engaged the Doom patrol in combat, but Eric decided to double-cross them, and sent suicide bombers to ignite Oolong s dormant volcano. The DP wanted to call off the fight, but Bane insisted that the disaster meant nothing. DP member Elasti-Woman diverted the lava, and Oolong s president uncloaked C.R.U.S.H. s helicopter, which was observing the proceedings. C.R.U.S.H. fled, and the Six realized they wouldn't be paid for the job, so the conflict ended, and the Six peacefully left Oolong, but Catman admitted he was itching to tussle with the DP again.
