History

The Persuader is a super-villain who joined the ranks of Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad some eight months after the Infinite Crisis event. Waller manipulated the Suicide Squad into believing that the Black Marvel Family was a threat to National Security. Knowing that the Marvels were last seen in the San Francisco Bay area, Waller sent the Squad to intercept them and bring them in. During the fight, the Persuader injured Black Adam's wife, Isis. Upon seeing his sister injured, Isis' brother, Osiris, lost control of his emotions, and attacked the Persuader. Flying at super-speed, he plunged right through Parker's body, killing him.

The connection between this version of the Persuader and his 31st century counterpart, if any, remains to be seen.
