Summary
The Suicide Squadisa group of DCvillainswho are brought together to solve problems deemed too dangerous for other organizations to handle. Each member is forced to comply with a bomb placed in their necks. Therefore, anyone who goes off-mission will be killed.
While some of the members ofThe Suicide Squadhave performed some heroic actions in the movies, comics, and video games, these characters are only put in place to do so because of the villainous acts they have been part of in the past. However, some of these villains are less heroic than their allies.
6Amanda Waller
While Amanda is never seen fighting in the field with the Suicide Squad, this government agent is responsible for recruiting each member of the team. Also, she is the one who has control of the bombs that can kill off any member of the team at a moment’s notice. Therefore, any villainous acts performed by the team on a mission are a direct result of Waller’s actions.
What’s more, there are probably civilians in the DC universe who have been the victims of the crimes committed by members of The Suicide Squad. Amanda Waller willingly ignores the justice system to put these criminals back on the street to serve her own purpose or administer the death penalty if things do not go her way.
5Captain Boomerang
A Man Motivated By Money And Nothing Else
George Harkness began his criminal career as a villain for The Flash. He used his technological abilities to craft a series of boomerangs to help him commit bank robberies and other thefts. Motivated purely by money, Captain Boomerang is often shown going toextreme villainous lengthsto obtain vast quantities of wealth. Such acts include assault, theft, and even murder.
Captain Boomerang may appear to only be a silly comic book character, but he is no less heroic when he is on a team as part of The Suicide Squad. The character constantly makes it clear that he is only performing well for the team as a means of self-preservation. As a result, there is little doubt that Boomerang would go back out and rob the innocent as soon as there is a chance to escape, and perhaps, even worse than just a robbery.
4Deadshot
The Man That Never Misses
In many ways, Deadshot and Captain Boomerang are very similar. They are both willing to commit obscene crimes for the chance to receive money. However,as a hitman for hire, Deadshot’s crimes are much worse than his teammates. Deadshot is willing to take a life so long as the person paying him offers the right price. It doesn’t matter who the target is, Deadshot is even willing to use his expert marksman skills to take out the innocent for a quick paycheque.
Often fighting Batmanand Green Arrow, this criminal is constantly being shown a better path. There is no reason why Deadshot could not use his skills to be a hero or work for the military. However, this villain is willing to cross a villainous line that others aren’t, which makes him a great asset to The Suicide Squad. Yet, that doesn’t mean Floyd Lawton is without his own sense of morality, and he will often disregard Waller’s orders, but still, his pay and his daughter come before anything else.
3Black Manta
Aquaman’s Arch Rival Who Will Do Anything To Hurt Him
Revenge is a powerful motivator. In fairness, Black Manta’s hatred for Aquaman is justified as the King of Atlantis failed to save the old pirate’s father from drowning. However, the villainous actions that Black Manta uses to get back at his rival are far from justified.
In the past, this diver and former pirate have put the lives of innocent people in danger many times,caused Aquaman to lose a hand, and was even responsible for the events that led to the death of Aquaman’s son. As a member of The Suicide Squad, Black Manta is a capable and effective team member, but his one-man war against Atlantis is too dark for him to ever be given the spotlight as a hero.
2Weasel
An Animalistic Serial Killer
The version of Weasel seen inThe Suicide Squadmovie in 2021 is a very different character from the one who debuted and joined the team in the comics. Weasel began his life as a meek scientist called John Monroe. However, an ill-fated lab accident turned him into the super-strong rodent/human hybrid known as Weasel.
Instead of searching for a cure, though, Monroe used these newfound powers to go on a killing spree. He hunted down and murdered any colleagues who made fun of him, and continued this spree until he was finally caught by Firestorm. With his scientific intelligence still intact, Weasel is still used by Amanda Waller for his unique killing abilities.
1Killer Croc
A Superpowered Cannibal
The origin of Killer Croc is not his fault. The giant crocodile man was born with the strength and many attributes of an amphibious crocodile. However, unlike the similar villain, King Shark, Killer Croc maintains many of the same cognitive skills as an ordinary human. As such, he is less likely to be pushed into villainy and commits a lot of his misdeeds knowing that they are evil.
Manyother villains in Gotham Citymay seek to use Killer Croc as a henchman. This means that the monster is willing to steal, fight, and kill for his pay. However, Killer Croc also enjoys the taste of human flesh. Therefore, this villain spends his time luring innocent civilians into the sewers, so he can eat them. Not heroic at all, even if part of this isinflicted by society, as Killer Croc’s mutations make him isolated and outcast.
