Line 38:
The Suicide Squad made an appearance on ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' under its original name of Task Force X, as the word "suicide" was considered off limits for the young audience. Therein the team consisted of [[Adam Baldwin|Rick Flagg]], Deadshot, Plastique, Captain Boomerang, and Clock King, working under the purview of Amanda Waller.
It has also been mentioned on ''[[Smallville]]'' as part of their version of [[Checkmate]].
In 2016 a [[Suicide Squad (film)|live-action film adaptation]] was released to less than stellar reviews and mixed audience reaction.
Not related to [[Monty Python's Life of Brian]].
Line 89 ⟶ 91:
** Also the General, which is why Waller finds it so satisfying to keep him under her thumb.
* [[Circle of Shame]]: Captain Boomerang experiences a hallucinatory one when Mindboggler unleashes his greatest fear in an early issue. He hallucinates that he surrounded by the superheroes who have defeated him the past; all laughing at him.
* [[Clingy MacGuffin]] / [[Instant Allegiance Artifact]]: The Thinker helmet. It has no will of its own, but it's suggested it amplifies the negative aspects of the personality of the wearer. Combined with the massive intellect boost, most people are likely to get very easily hooked. Amanda herself, not the most shining example of morality, wore it briefly to locate the second Thinker and began developing the addiction, and proposed using it as a piece of her personal arsenal. However, she was broken out of it by an old friend, who asked whether he was speaking to Amanda... or to the helmet. She was so ''pissed'' at being ''manipulated'' by a non-sentient ''thing'', [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|she shatters the helmet]], [[

* [[C-List Fodder]]: Pretty much all the characters who weren't created specifically for the series, though some of them got promoted to B- or A-list during or subsequent to their use in ''Suicide Squad.''
** Even then, nobody was safe. One arc memorably ended with the bulk of the supporting cast dead in a mission that was suicidal, even for the squad. {{spoiler|Only the goddamn Batman should try pulling a gun on Darkseid.}}
