Leadership

    Amanda Waller 
Voiced by: EileMonty, DustyOldRoses

  • Bad Boss: Her minions may be Boxed Crooks, but threatening them with Your Head Asplode for sassing her is too much.
  • Formerly Fat: Is reduced to one-third of her original body weight in the second movie. While there are several explanations for this (the two source movies are in separate continuities, and Waller has cancer in the second) the explanation she gives is that she ate the rest of her.
  • My Greatest Failure: Working with Vandal Savage and allowing him to nearly wipe out the Justice League. She's not going to allow something like that to happen again.
  • Sassy Black Woman: In the first movie. By the second, she's devolved into a Deadpan Snarker.

Members

    Deadshot (Floyd Lawton) 
Voiced by: Midgettoe2000, Frank Todaro

    Harley Quinn 
Voiced by: TallestSilver

  • Affably Evil: She’s as cheerful and funny as Harley usually is, but she’s still a dangerous criminal who turns on the squad the second the Joker shows up.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: She's the wild card of the Squad, one meant to trip up their enemies with how unpredictable she can be.
  • Dumb Blonde: But as Batman tells her, she's not dumb because she's blonde, she's dumb because she fell for the Joker.
  • Hidden Depths: She retains Harleen Quinzel's psychiatric skills, and shows it by pegging most of the Squad's issues in a few seconds. She's also the only member of the squad that realizes Black Spider is really Batman.
  • Only Sane Man: She claims that she and Deadshot share this role.

    Killer Frost (Crystal Frost) 
Voiced by: RedMiel

  • Card-Carrying Villain: She’s set out to be known as the villain who makes puns, because there’s nothing more evil than puns.
  • Pungeon Master: It's a rare occasion when she can't make an ice pun about something.
  • The Starscream: Betrays the Squad and Zoom to get her hands on the Get Out of Heck Free card.

    King Shark 
Voiced by: Takahata101

  • Affably Evil: He’s really sweet for a murderous shark man.
  • Expy: Of Groot, being The Big Guy with a limited vocabulary who dies towards the end.
  • The Heart: Of the squad, with Killer Frost even calling him this in anguish after his death. Once he's dead, it's not long before infighting breaks up any cohesion they had.
  • Hulk Speak: He can only say the words “I”, “am”, and “a shark”, exclusively in that order. He gets better from the Riddler’s electroshock done to defuse the bomb, though it fails to actually defuse the bomb inside his head.
  • Morality Chain: Mostly for Killer Frost. After he dies, she becomes more ruthless.
  • Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: In his Inner Monologue, he’s quite eloquent.

    Black Spider 
Voiced by: LordJazor

    Captain Boomerang (George Harkness) 
Voiced by: Starbeastrave

    Bronze Tiger 
Voiced by: Malcolm X. Ray

  • Butt-Monkey: He's capable enough to not be as disrespected as Captain Boomerang, but the rest of the Squad treats him like he's Batman in disguise. It's only when he dies that they believe otherwise.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Black guy with a tragic backstory, great martial arts skills, and a disdain for criminals and killers? After Black Spider pulled it off the first time, it's understandable why the rest of Squad thinks Tiger is Batman.
  • Thou Shalt Not Kill: He has a vow against killing, which only serves to make the rest of the squad think he’s Batman even more.

    Copperhead 
Voiced by: Demongrocerystore

  • Affably Evil: He’s a friendly guy who is hardworking and eager to be a part of the Suicide Squad, and is also a total psycho who tries to rip out Killer Frost’s heart.
  • The Heart: He really wants to take up King Shark’s role as this, but nobody’s having any of it.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: He tried to be this to King Shark, but nobody’s having any of it.
