Suicide Squad

Suicide Squad

The Suicide Squad is a fictional black-ops unit appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. While the original version debuted in The Brave and the Bold #25, the second and modern iteration, created by John Ostrander, debuted in Legends #3. Since the team's creation, various incarnations have existed and depicted in several self-titled comic book series and spin-offs. The original version of the unit consisted of expendable members, who were soldiers with felonies, in service to the United States government, performing high-risk missions, and were led by Captain Rick Flag during World War II. Several decades later, the idea would resurface from Amanda Waller, a political operator who altered the idea to include known and lesser-known supervillains as expendable assets to allow the government plausible deniability and, in return, a reduced prison sentence.
