James Gunn, the co-head of DC Studios, is the writer and executive producer of the series. The official logline states the show “tracks a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans. When all else fails… they’re your last, worst option.”

The Creature Commandos series will begin the new DCU or DC Universe, with the upcoming Superman movie in July 2025 set to be the first live-action movie. You can read more about the rest of the planned movies and TV shows in the DCU by heading over here.

Also, head on over here for our breakdown of the latest Superman movie trailer.

We Learn The Origins Of Nina

She was born as a human but with a medical condition (her lungs formed outside of her body).

In the comics, Nina transformed herself into an amphibian woman as an adult scientist.

The DCU version became an amphibian because of her father’s efforts to cure her, by infusing her with elements from aquatic animals.

She was bullied at school for her strange appearance.

This resulted in her running away from home.

Bride Makes A Surprising Marvel Reference, Comparing Doctor Phosphorus To Marvel’s Ghost Rider

It’s funny because Doctor Phosphorus’ design does look similar to Marvel’s Ghost Rider.

That being said, there is also another DC Comics character who looks like Ghost Rider and that is Superman villain Atomic Skull.

To put the contest to rest, Marvel’s Ghost Rider did make his debut first in 1972 before Doctor Phosphorus in 1977 and Atomic Skull in 1978.

Star City Reference, Where Green Arrow Is From

Nina ran away to Star City.

That’s interesting because Star City is where Green Arrow resides and comes from.

Sadly, that is where Nina gets captured and her father dies while trying to save her.

Amanda Waller Discovers That MacPherson Was Dead All Along And That Clayface Took Her Place

What this means is that Circe planned this all along so that Amanda Waller and the Creature Commandos would kill Princess Ilana Rostovic.

Princess Ilana Stabs And Kills Nina

Nina’s assassination attempt is unsuccessful as Princess Ilana retaliates by stabbing and killing Nina.

The Truth Reveals That Clayface Was Working With Princess Ilana, Not Circe

Caught on tape.

That means that Circe was speaking the truth about Princess Ilana.

The Bride Kills Princess Ilana

For revenge, since Ilana killed Nina.

The Only Surviving Creature Commandos Left

The Bride, Doctor Phosphorus and Weasel.

The New Creature Commandos Team

Amanda Waller gives the Bride a new team of Creature Commandos, including Doctor Phosphorus and Nosferata.

That’s Khalis, a member of the team from the comics.

Weasel.

A new and improved GI Robot.

King Shark returns. This is probably the same version of King Shark from 2021’s The Suicide Squad. This time, he’s voiced by Diedrich Bader and not Sylvester Stallone.

Post-Credits Scene

There’s a post-credits scene and it shows Frankenstein still alive with a different old woman. Let’s hope that he doesn’t kill this one.

There you have it, folks, Creature Commandos Season 1 is over with its seventh and final episode.

The next DCU project to be released will be the highlight-anticipated Superman movie in July 2025, so stay tuned for our coverage on that.

Until then, excelsior!
