The members of the secret Su*cide Squad are considered expendable because they are given extraordinary powers in exchange for the chance to carry out a life-threatening task (or perish attempting).
Even if Superman can’t be ki!!ed off in the story, any number of B- and C-list supervillains can. James Gunn’s new reboot/soft sequel to the much-maligned Su*cide Squad, The Su*cide Squad, features a large cast of minor characters that meet an untimely end.
If you’re going to see The Su*cide Squad in cinemas or on HBO Max on August 6, when some of these individuals meet their grisly ends, shouldn’t you at least take the time to get to know them?
Many of them are some of the lesser-known members of the DC Universe (though the first on this list will be familiar to even the most casual of superhero movie fans, and a few of them were in the 2016 film), and they probably won’t all get that much screen time here or in the future.

Cast Of The Su*cide Squad
Harley Quinn, Played By Margot Robbie
Only a few DC characters, including Harleen Quinn, have made their debut in media other than comic books. Harley Quinn debuted in the early 1990s on Batman: The Animated Series as the Joker’s henchwoman; she eventually became the archvillain’s favorite squeeze, despite the fact that he showed no romantic interest in her, as reported by Vulture.
Harley Quinn, a psychologist turned criminal clown, was an instant hit and quickly moved into the regular comics chronology. Her persona shifted as her fame grew. She is less of a Joker sidekick and more of a self-sufficient antihero in her own right.
Amanda Waller, played by Viola Davis
Not only does Harley Quinn return, but so does the rest of the Su*cide Squad. Viola Davis is back in her role as Amanda Waller, the head of Task Force X (the government agency that employs the Su*cide Squad). Waller has been one of the most formidable non-superhero figures in the comics since his debut in the middle of the 1980s. A hero, villain, or shark won’t be able to intimidate this woman. Given that she and Task Force X don’t always work toward the same ends as DC’s superheroes, she’s an intriguing, ethically problematic character.

Rick Flag Played By Joel Kinnaman
Amanda Waller is the head of the company, however she is not the active type. In steps Rick Flag, another familiar figure from the film released in 2016. His son, Rick Flag Jr., would go on to become the much more popular character and work with Task Force X as the government’s on-the-ground team leader/babysitter to all the enlisted supervillains. The character first appeared in the late ’50s as a member of a WWII task force known as The Su*cide Squad.
Flag’s tenure as squad leader during writer John Ostrander’s famed Su*cide Squad run, from which this upcoming film is rumored to draw extensively, was one of his most memorable. Joel Kinnaman, who played Flag in For All Mankind, reprises his role in this film.
Captain Boomerang Played By Jai Courtney
The gun-toting character played by Idris Elba in Bloodsport may remind you of the gun-toting character played by Will Smith in the 2016 film Deadshot. The original plan was to have Elba take Smith’s place, but in the end, he’ll be playing a completely new role. Bloodsport has a longer history in comics than the more well-known Deadshot. Bloodsport, whose true name is Robert DuBois, is a character from Superman comics who goes a little crazy after his brother gets injured in Vietnam. He first appeared in the 1980s.
Polka-Dot Man Played By David Dastmalchain
The Su*cide Squad was intended for obscure joke characters like olka-Dot Man, a comical figure from Batman’s zany Silver Age. Abner Krill is a criminal who first appeared in Detective Comics in 1962. His costume is covered in removable multicolored dots that he can use as tools or weapons. Can you explain how the outfit functions?
Put your mind at ease. (The film’s depiction of his history and his abilities alter, but the message remains the same: you shouldn’t fret over it.) The comics have always treated Polka-Dot Man with the zero regard he deserves, but James Gunn’s film has a chance to change that.

Peacemaker Played By John Cena
The Peacemaker is a fascinatingly complex individual. The character debuted in a Charlton Comics publication in the mid-1960s, but with DC’s acquisition of Charlton, he was incorporated into the DC canon. Christopher Smith, better known as Peacemaker, is just a guy who loves peace so much that he is willing to use deadly force to maintain it.
King Shark Played By Slyvester Stallone
There’s more to King Shark than meets the eye. As far as sharks go, he is a god. The character is the offspring of the so-called Shark God and first appeared in Superboy comics in the mid-1990s before transitioning to the role of Aquaman adversary. His heavenly lineage was initially up for debate in the comics, but later storylines solidified it.
Inquiring minds want to know, what exactly are King Shark’s extraordinary abilities? Everything a shark can do, he can do better, plus he can walk and talk. In The Su*cide Squad, he provides the crew with some stupid muscle and is voiced by Sylvester Stallone. On-set motion capture was handled by Steve Agee for King Shark.
The Thinker Played By Peter Capaldi
In the original Flash comic from 1943, The Thinker was a villain named Clifford DeVoe who used a “thinking cap” to transform his ideas into physical force. In the late 1970s, a new incarnation of the Thinker named Clifford Carmichael appeared as an adversary of the hero Firestorm. The new Thinker has replicas of the old cap surgically inserted in his skull. In the film adaptation of “The Thinker,” neither of these two people exists.
Double Down Played By Jared Leland Gore
Double Down, a villain from The Flash comics who made his debut in 2001, is perhaps the least significant antagonist in the film. His whole schtick is that he can use the cursed deck he’s bonded with to remove playing cards from his skin. Even though he was born in this century, he has all the hallmarks of a goofy, gimmicky villain from the Silver Age of comics, making him an ideal candidate for a surprise cameo in The Su*cide Squad.
T.D.K. Played By Nathan Fillion
T.D.K. is not the name of a fictional superhero. The role Nathan Fillion plays in The Su*cide Squad, however, is unmistakably a tribute to another DC hero who is notoriously stupid: Arm-Fall-Off-Boy. In 1989, he made his first appearance in comics when he applied to join DC’s future-saving Legion of Superheroes.
His ability to rip off his own arms and wield them as blunt weapons led to his rejection. Arm-Fall-Off-Boy isn’t canon anymore thanks to multiple reboots of DC Comics continuity, but he could become so thanks to The Su*cide Squad and T.D.K.
