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).
Aerie

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.
Chaos 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.
Deadly 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).
Scale & 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.
Jog

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.
Lok
![DC Suicide Squad 2020 Characters By Bruno Redondo - Lok DC Suicide Squad 2020 Characters By Bruno Redondo - Lok](https://media.comicbook.com/2019/11/dc-suicide-squad-2020-characters-by-bruno-redondo-lok-1195965.jpeg?auto=webp&width=600&height=763&crop=600:763,smart)
(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)?
Osita
![DC Suicide Squad 2020 Characters By Bruno Redondo - Osita DC Suicide Squad 2020 Characters By Bruno Redondo - Osita](https://media.comicbook.com/2019/11/dc-suicide-squad-2020-characters-by-bruno-redondo-osita-1195968.jpeg?auto=webp&width=600&height=632&crop=600:632,smart)
Osita looks pretty interesting: a Latina strongwoman with cybernetic enhancements? Can't wait to see where this goes.
Thylacine
![DC Suicide Squad 2020 Characters By Bruno Redondo - Thylacine DC Suicide Squad 2020 Characters By Bruno Redondo - Thylacine](https://media.comicbook.com/2019/11/dc-suicide-squad-2020-characters-by-bruno-redondo-thylacine-1195969.jpeg?auto=webp&width=600&height=674&crop=600:674,smart)
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.
T.N.Teen
![DC Suicide Squad 2020 Characters By Bruno Redondo - T.N. Teen DC Suicide Squad 2020 Characters By Bruno Redondo - T.N. Teen](https://media.comicbook.com/2019/11/dc-suicide-squad-2020-characters-by-bruno-redondo-tn-teen-1195970.jpeg?auto=webp&width=600&height=670&crop=600:670,smart)
This character looks like he'll take the whole "teen angst" metaphor to some pretty explosive places.
Wink

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.
