7) Bronze Tiger
Probably the most significant member of the Suicide Squad in the comics who is not yet in the film version is Bronze Tiger AKA Ben Turner. Created in the 1970s by Dennis O’Neil, Jim Berry and Richard Dragon, TV viewers may remember him from his stint on Task Force X in Arrow’s second season where he was played by Spawn’s Michael Jai White.
In a Suicide Squad sequel, Bronze Tiger could fill the role left by El Diablo, as the squaddie who is repentant about his past crimes. While Turner is sometimes a member of the League of Assassins, originally he was one of the good guys – acting as Rick Flag’s second-in-command. A former member of Ra’s Al Ghul’s elite squad of martial artists gone good would make for a really interesting addition to the team, don’t you think?
6) Killer Frost
There are no shortage of ice-orientated villains in the DC universe – Mister Freeze, Captain Cold, Icicle Sr,, Icicle Jr… However, the one who needs to appear in the Task Force X line-up next is Killer Frost. The character has served on multiple versions of the team, and was only removed from the squad for The New 52 reboot in 2011.
Though you might think Killer Frost is currently locked in on the TV side of things, as she recently appeared on The Flash, this isn’t quite the case. That show features the Caitlin Snow version of the character, but the incarnation who is usually associated with the Suicide Squad is Louise Lincoln. Lincoln previously appeared in the Batman: Assault on Arkham animated movie as part of the team and she even had an eyebrow-raising flirtatious relationship with King Shark.
