Biography

Torture specialist

At some point, Jason Trask joined the U.S. Army and rose to the rank of lieutenant. He specialized in interrogation, using torture and truth serums to get results.^[1]

At some point, Lt. Trask became known to Lt. Rosetti; when Clark Kent brought John Henry Irons to the DOD as a prisoner, Rosetti wanted to call Lt. Trask, but Superman wanted Sam Lane to be there first.^[2]

Death

Lieutenants Trask and Rosetti watched as Superman and Sam Lane interrogated John Henry Irons without results, as John said that he would only speak with Lois Lane. Sam threatened John with the torture Trask would give, but John was resilient.

When Rosetti was ordered to transfer John to his cell, Trask stopped the two and asked Rosetti for time alone with John. Trask was denied and insulted Rosetti about following the rules. Suddenly, Rosetti demonstrated super-strength and slammed Trask against the hallway walls until he was dead.^[1]
