The Suicide Squad movie is just around the corner, and I figured for those who don't know a whole lot about comic books then the squad for the most part is going to be made up of characters you are unfamiliar with. Even for some comic book fans they are a little unfamiliar (I'm sorry, Slipknot). I'm not going to count Amanda Waller, the Squad's government handler, as part of the squad. I am also not going to count the Joker because he isn't technically a part of the squad, he would actually need to stay in jail for that to work Batman.

1. Slipknot

Christopher Weiss, a chemist who created a formula that makes ropes nearly indestructible, as well as a trained assassin. He all of a sudden goes from being a useless guy with ropes to a trained assassin with indestructible ropes, which is a huge difference. The ropes become exponentially more practical in a team setting.

2. Captain Boomerang

Digger Harkness, more commonly known as Captain Boomerang, is a frequent villain of the Flash. Despite seeming useless, he is quite the opposite, a very deadly assassin and incredible engineer, he has a wide array of boomerangs. Ranging from explosive to adhesive, he has a 'rang for every occasion.

3. Enchantress

June Moon was just freelance artist attending a costume party. It is where she runs into a magical being who gives her unlimited magic powers. All she has to say is "The Enchantress" and boom she is ready to kick some butt or be a criminal.

4. Katana

Tatsu Yamashiro may be one of the more tragic members of the squad, her sword consumes the souls of those it kills. One of those souls being her husband as he was killed by his brother. Katana is the most heroic out of the entire squad, doing what she does for justice.

5. Rick Flag

Rick Flag is the leader of the squad and the only one of them who doesn't have a bomb in his neck. The Squad listens to him or they blow up. Something none of them want, well except maybe Harley. Rick Flag acts as their commanding officer and the rest of them follow his orders.

6. Harley Quinn

Dr. Harleen Quinzel was the psychiatrist who was working with the Joker. She volunteered to work with him. She eventually fell in love with him and became everyone's favorite jester, Harley Quinn.

7. Deadshot

Floyd Lawton, the world's most deadliest and accurate marksman alive is a constant member of the squad. He is an assassin who has no regard for human life, especially his own. He doesn't care if he dies, and this makes him a very dangerous man.

8. Killer Croc

Waylon Jones, is a man with a genetic condition that gives him a crocodile appearance. He sometimes has cannibalistic tendencies, but is it really cannibalism if he is basically a crocodile?

9. El Diablo

Chato Santana's tattoo's are more than just for show, they fuel his power. Whenever he uses his fire powers he loses some of his tattoos. He has to constantly get inked in order for him to be strong. Santana is actually the third person to wear the mantle of El Diablo, receiving his powers from the original El Diablo who was in a coma and later died.

There you have it, the members of the Suicide Squad that are set to appear on the silver screen this weekend. It looks like it a lot of the elements of their stories are going to be incorporated in one way or another, and I for one am excited to see their team dynamic. And by that I want to see how a team of criminals try to get along.
