History: (Machine Man I#16) - The Satan Squad was gathered by the fake sorcerer Baron Brimstone, who needed allies within the underworld as part of his plot to mass-produce the Sol-Mac device he had stolen. Initially, some of the criminals gathered, including Duke Dawson, refused to follow Brimstone. Brimstone's top two lieutenants, Snake Marston and Hammer Harrison, roughed up those who opposed their orders.
The Satan Squad aided Baron Brimstone in his plots to collect the parts he needed. When Duke Dawson tried to go Delmar Insurance's Pamela Quinn about Brimstone's plans, he was killed by Snake Marston, and Pamela was taken captive. As they collected a golden bell from the cathedral of St. Gabriella of the Highlands, Machine Man interfered with their operations and defeated the entire Satan Squad, then went on to defeat Baron Brimstone as well.
(Machine Man I#17) - Stragglers from the Satan Squad tried to escape the police with a hallucinogenic grenade, but Machine Man returned to deal with them and quickly bested their numbers.
