The '''Suicide Squad''' is an [[antihero]]/[[supervillain]] team appearing in [[American comic book]]s published by [[DC Comics]]. The first version of the Suicide Squad debuted in ''[[The Brave and the Bold]]'' #25 (September 1959) and the second and modern version, created by [[John Ostrander]], debuted in ''[[Legends (comics)|Legends]]'' #3 (January 1987).

Various incarnations of the Suicide Squad have existed throughout the years as depicted in several self-titled comic book series, from its origins in the [[Silver Age of Comic Books|Silver Age]] to its modern-day post-''[[Crisis on Infinite Earths|Crisis]]'' re-imagining, to the [[New 52]] version and the current version that was introduced during [[DC Rebirth]] in 2016.

''Suicide Squad'' (vol. 4) debuted as part of DC Comics' line-wide [[The New 52|New 52]] continuity reboot in 2011. The relaunched book was written by Adam Glass, with art by Federico Dallocchio and Ransom Getty. Amanda Waller directs the group from behind the scenes; Deadshot, [[Harley Quinn]], and [[King Shark]] feature prominently in this version of the Squad. The volume concluded in 2014, with issue #30.

''New Suicide Squad'' was launched in July 2014. Written by Sean Ryan with art by Jeremy Roberts, the new series continues to feature Deadshot and Harley Quinn, with [[Deathstroke]], [[Black Manta]], and the [[Duela Dent#The New 52|Joker's Daughter]] also featuring.

==Publication history==

Line 331:

The World War II Squad of ''Secret Origins'' (vol. 2) #14 was a means of tying the Silver Age Suicide Squad to the war-era Suicide Squad (also called the Suicide Squadron) created by [[Robert Kanigher]] for his "[[The War that Time Forgot]]" tales in the pages of ''[[Star Spangled War Stories]]''.<ref name="WarStories">''Star Spangled War Stories'' #110–111, 116–121, 125, and 127–128</ref> This Suicide Squadron is described as a "top-secret [[United States Army Rangers|Ranger]] outfit" whose members were trained to tackle missions from which ordinary volunteers were not expected to return alive. It is unclear whether this team is part of the modern Suicide Squad canon or if the Squad introduced in ''Secret Origins'' was intended as a replacement for them in DC continuity.

Another classic version of the Squad (Rick Flag Jr., Karin Grace, Jess Bright, and Dr. Hugh Evans) appears in the non-canon 2004 miniseries ''[[DC: The New Frontier]]'' by [[Darwyn Cooke]]. The group is briefly shown undertaking the sorts of dangerous missions the Squad is known for, and Flag eventually drafts [[Hal Jordan]] onto the team to assist in preparing a [[Human spaceflight|crewed space flight]] to [[Mars]]. The experimental rocket's test runs quickly goes south and the group (sans Jordan) dies in the explosion.<ref name="NewFrontier#1-4">''DC: The New Frontier'' #1–4</ref>

In the ''[[DC Comics Bombshells]]'' continuity, the World War II-era Suicide Squad is led by Francine Charles and consists of Killer Croc, Enchantress, Rose Wilson, and Barbara Gordon (who in this setting is a vampire). In the final issue of the comic, it is revealed that after the end of the war, this Suicide Squad became a "[[Justice League Dark|Dark Justice League]]" defending the world against magical threats.

Line 383:

====="Serpent of Chaos"=====

This storyline ran through ''Suicide Squad'' #45 - 47. Amanda Waller and the Squad covertly sneak into Jerusalem seeking to capture or kill [[Kobra (DC comics)|Kobra]]. However, the squad's arrival is detected by the [[Hayoth]], and their Mossad liaison Colonel Hacohen takes Waller and Vixen into custody in order to show them that the Hayoth has already captured Kobra. Amanda figures out that Kobra allowed the Hayoth to capture him but is unsure of why. Judith follows Vixen to a meeting with the Bronze Tiger and Ravan, critically wounds Vixen, and is nearly killed by the Bronze Tiger. Meanwhile, the Atom discovers Kobra's true plan all along was to corrupt [[Dybbuk (comics)|Dybbuk]] the Hayoth's artificial intelligence team member. Kobra "corrupted" Dybbuk through a series of philosophical conversations about the nature of good and evil; he then attempts to use Dybbuk to start World War III. The day is saved by Ramban, the team's kabbalistic magician, who has a lengthy conversation with Dybbuk about the true nature of good and evil, choice, and morality. Meanwhile, Ravan and Kobra have their final battle which results in Ravan's supposed death via poisoning.

====="Mystery of the Atom"=====

[[Batman]] is working to solve the murder of Ray Palmer,the [[TheAtom (Ray Palmer)|Atom]]. He hears that Waller possibly knew about the explosion that killed him. Superman is told by a CBI agent that the Suicide Squad would be attempting to rescue [[Qurac]]'s former President Marlo. Adam Cray confronts Deadshot about killing his father, Senator Cray.<ref>Suicide Squad #59, November, 1991</ref> Golem, of the [[Hayoth]] enters the facility holding Marlo on Blood Island. The Hayoth mistakenly believe they would be allowed to take President Marlo into custody. This misunderstanding caused the Hayoth to become embroiled in a four-way conflict with the [[Justice League]] ([[Superman]], [[Batman]], and [[Aquaman]]), who were there searching for Ray Palmer (the Atom), as well as the Suicide Squad, and the Onslaught. After a series of skirmishes, Superman ends the free-for-all with a shockwave caused by clapping both his hands together. The League confronts Ray Palmer, and he tells them about Micro Force and their murder of Adam Cray, the man who had been impersonating him as a member of the Suicide Squad.<ref>''Suicide Squad'' #59–62</ref>

{{Main|Superman (comic book)}}

[[Lex Luthor]] organizes another Suicide Squad during his term as [[President of the United States]] so that they can recruit [[Doomsday (comics)|Doomsday]] to battle the alien [[Imperiex]]. This version of the Squad consists of [[Chemo (DC Comics)|Chemo]], [[Mongul]], [[Plasmus]], and Shrapnel; it is led by [[Manchester Black]], under the supervision of [[Steel (John Henry Irons)|Steel]]. Doomsday seemingly kills most of the Squad upon his release, but all of the characters turn up alive in later comics.<ref name="AoS" />

===''Suicide Squad'' (vol. 2)===

Line 454:

The First issue details the former [[Injustice League]]'s terminally botched attempt to extract a kidnapped scientist from an Icelandic facility. With all but one team member ([[Major Disaster]]) presumed dead by issue's end, Sgt. Rock forms a new Suicide Squad for the missions ahead.<ref name="SSv2#1" /> Major Disaster, [[Deadshot]], and [[Killer Frost#Louise Lincoln|Killer Frost]] are mainstays of the field team. For his part, Rock is every bit as ruthless as Amanda Waller was (though far more affable), remorselessly sending his agents to die for the good of their country.

The Squad's missions involve eliminating an out-of-control colony of bio-engineered army ants,<ref name="SSv2#2"/><ref name="SSv2#3">''Suicide Squad'' (vol. 2) #3</ref> and investigating the mysterious island of [[Kooey Kooey Kooey]] to discourage its telepathic inhabitants from declaring war on Earth.<ref name="SSv2#6"/><ref name="SSv2#7">''Suicide Squad'' (vol. 2) #7</ref><ref name="SSv2#8">''Suicide Squad'' (vol. 2) #8</ref> Havana is revealed to be Amanda Waller's daughter,<ref name="SSv2#9">''Suicide Squad'' (vol. 2) #9</ref> and the final story arc revolves around an all-out attack on the Squad by the members of [[Onslaught (DC Comics)|Onslaught]], led by the son of longtime Squad enemy Rustam. Onslaught kills Modem and captures Rock, Havana, and Waller.<ref name="SSv2#11">''Suicide Squad'' (vol. 2) #11</ref>

Upon learning that the Squad has been compromised, Waller's office drafts the [[Justice Society of America]] to counterattack Onslaught alongside the Squad, but they arrive too late to save Havana from Rustam's wrath. Deadshot discovers a discarded Sgt. Rock mask inside an empty holding cell, which prompts Bulldozer (who is monitoring the situation remotely via Deadshot's video camera) to stand from his wheelchair and announce "Oh, boy!" before leaving. Back in her office, Amanda Waller reviews Bulldozer's file, and states that he and Sgt. Rock died in 1945.<ref name="SSv2#12"/>
