The Suicide Squad wasn’t always a group of supervillains forced to go on missions for the United States government. While the movies in the DCEU are based on the comic books published by DC Comics, the origins of the team were very different. The team started its existence in 1959 and it had nothing to do with villains at that time.
However, when DC revived the Suicide Squad in the 1980s things changed. While one member from the original team remained on board, that is when the team began to utilize villains going on suicide missions for a chance at some time taken off their sentence if they survived.
10 Rick Flag
The first member of the Suicide Squad in DC Comics was Rick Flag. He was a second-generation soldier and his father led a similar group in World War II. As for Rick, he was there when the team first formed in The Brave and the Bold #25 by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru.
At this time, the team was not villains and they were all fighting for the United States in what they joked was suicide missions. Rick ended up returning when Task Force X reformed the Suicide Squad, a soldier leading the villains on their missions.
9 Karin Grace
Karin Grace was part of Rick Flag’s original Suicide Squad team. She was the flight medic for the team and she was secretly attracted to Flag. She not only worked with the team when they were soldiers working for the government, but she returned later when the Suicide Squad began working with villains.
Karin Grace was in a romantic relationship with Rick and the two ended up together when the team disintegrated. She eventually betrayed Rick in the later stories when she joined up with the Manhunters, but she finally sacrificed her life to save Rick in the end.
8 Jess Bright
Jess Bright was an esteemed nuclear physicist who worked with the Suicide Squad when they first formed. This was the first team with Rick Flag. There was controversy from the start as Bright fell in love with Karin, even though she loved Rick Flag. He was part of the team’s final mission fighting a Yeti, and he was left behind and thought dead.
However, Jess didn’t die and swore vengeance against Rick Flag for leaving him behind. He returned in Suicide Squad Vol. 1 #50 looking for vengeance under the name Koshchei the Deathless.
7 Dr. Hugh Evans
Dr. Hugh Evans was the final of the four members of the original Suicide Squad. Evans was an astrophysicist who joined the team along with his close friend and contemporary Jess Bright. Much like Jess, he also liked Karin, but it was unrequited love.
In the Suicide Squad’s final mission as a team, they fought a yeti in Action Comics #552. The only two who left the mission alive was seemingly Rick and Karin. Jess survived the mission but was thought dead. Hugh did not survive and died in the battle.
6 Amanda Waller
Amanda Waller revived Task Force X in The Brave and the Bold #25 by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru. At this time, Waller was a congressional aid who revived the program and chose to use supervillains to go on missions. Original Suicide Squad leader Rick Flag volunteered to lead the team.
Waller ended up controlling the team from this point on. She would place devices in the criminals so she could kill them if they got out of line and as time went on, she became independent of oversight committees and took the team in dark directions.
5 Bronze Tiger
While Rick Flag volunteered to lead the team when Amanda Waller took control, she also brought in Bronze Tiger in Legends #1 by John Ostrander, Len Wein, and John Byrne. He would serve as a leader at times as well. Bronze Tiger is considered one of the world’s greatest martial artists and was at one time brainwashed by the League of Assassins and turned into a villain.
However, he resisted the brainwashing and became a superhero. Waller brought him in as security for the team and she used him to keep all the inmates in line and work with Flag on leading the Suicide Squad on missions. Bronze Tiger was one of the Suicide Squad’s most heroic characters.
4 Deadshot
The first supervillain that Amanda Waller brought onto her Suicide Squad team was Deadshot. The Flash arrested Deadshot after a robbery in Manhattan and he ended up in prison, which put him in the position to accept a spot on Waller’s new Task Force X team.
He was offered a pardon if he worked with Task Force X, but when he finished their first mission, he decided to keep working in the Suicide Squad. He remains a solid member of the team to this day.
3 Captain Boomerang
Captain Boomerang joined Suicide Squad after Deadshot, but he was not as easy to control. Amanda Waller offered him the same pardon and prison release she did Deadshot if he accepted the mission. He had to wear an explosive bracelet that would kill him if he disobeyed any orders.
When Boomerang realized this was actually a suicide mission, he wanted out. Amanda Waller tried to go back on the deal at the end of the mission, but Rick Flag forced her to keep her word. Boomerang ended up back in jail and rejoined the Suicide Squad.
2 Enchantress
The Enchantress was one of the strangest members to join the Suicide Squad along with Deadshot and Captain Boomerang. Unlike the other two, she volunteered to work with the team for personal reasons when Amanda Waller recruited her. The problem was that she went in to have the opportunity to betray the team, which she failed at when Bronze Tiger got the better of her.
As a result of her betrayal, she did not leave prison when Captain Boomerang and Deadshot left. After this first mission, Waller promised she would help Enchantress control her evil side so she remained a member of the Suicide Squad.
1 Blockbuster
The first villains in the Suicide Squad all succeeded at their first missions and none of them died. While that seemed to make the team name a misnomer, that changed with new members after those original villains. The first of the villains joining the team to die was Blockbuster, the 10th member of the Suicide Squad and the first to die on his first mission.
An obscure Suicide Squad villain, Blockbuster was invulnerable and has superhuman abilities, a villain from Batman comics. In Legends #3, Amanda Waller invited him to join the team and was sent to stop a villain known as Brimstone. Brimstone killed Blockbuster in battle, but this allowed Deadshot to take out the target.
