DC Releases New Character Designs for Suicide Squad
DC Comics is launching a new version of Task Force X, aka The Suicide Squad. Acclaimed writer Tom [...]
Deadshot & Harley Quinn
Grounding this outlandish version of Task Force X are the "The Old-Stagers" as Redondo labels them: Harley Quinn and Deadshot! These ar the two characters fans will be most familiar with (if the only ones).
prevnextAerie
This new villain character looks like a spin on DC or Marvel's flying characters (Angel, Hawkman), so it'll be curious to see what the origin of his wings is.
prevnextChaos Kitten
"Chaos Kitten" looks to be in the same lane as DC brawlers like Wildcat or Black Canary, which raises question if she'll be one of the most badass Squad members - or an early corpse.
prevnextDeadly Six
Deadly Six is an intriguing-looking guy. We'll be eager to learn about the powers that go with the six-digit clock thing on his chest (and corresponding headpiece).
prevnextScale & Finn
These two characters look like Atlanteans that could be related to Lagoon Boy. It will definitely give the Suicide Squad a nice aquatic component.
prevnextJog
Aside from the sneakers and what looks like an oxygen tank (or fire extinguisher), it's hard to get a bead on who Jog is. A speedster would be my best guess.
prevnextLok
(Photo: DC Comics) Lok looks like he is the new leader of Task Force X after Amanda Waller, the question is: who is he? The only "Lok" in DC Lore is amphibious Green Lantern - this guy looks more like a government suit, who wasn't always a suit. Could it be someone like Lyle Bolton (aka Lockup)?
prevnextOsita
Osita looks pretty interesting: a Latina strongwoman with cybernetic enhancements? Can't wait to see where this goes.
prevnextThylacine
Thylacine references an Australian carnivorous marsupial that's now extinct, and the character above looks like a possibly Aboriginal Australian could definitely take that metaphor and run with it.
prevnextT.N.Teen
This character looks like he'll take the whole "teen angst" metaphor to some pretty explosive places.
prevnextWink
No idea what kind of power set this character might have (beyond the obvious winking tease...). Liking the punk rock vibe though. Will be interesting to see how she fits in with the likes of Harley Quinn.
Suicide Squad #1 hits shelves on December 18th, 2019.
