Secret Six brings a freshness to DC’s live-action series
There are some members of the Secret Six who were also part of Suicide Squad. But, DC and CBS have an opportunity to bring lesser used DC characters to the light. The original group of villains was made up of Parademon, Ragdoll, Fiddler, Scandal Savage, Cheshire and Deadshot. The majority of the villains haven’t been depicted in live-action, so they’ll bring some much-needed freshness to the series.

Parademon is a warrior from Darkseid’s army who was likely left on Earth. He ultimately became a hero and joined the team. His close friend was Ragdoll who has been around since the late ’40s. He’s a former Flash rouge with a psychotic personality. He’s also able to contort his body in extreme and unnatural ways. Fiddler is a British villain who uses the sounds of a deadly violin to commit his crimes.
Scandal Savage and Cheshire are two female villains of DC Comics fans are very familiar with. The former is the daughter of the immortal Vandal Savage. Unlike her father, she’s honorable and more of an antihero than a villain. Equipped with Lamentation Blades, similar to Wolverine, Scandal is an immensely skilled fighter who nearly defeated her father.
Jade was born out of wedlock to a Vietnamese woman and an American father. As a child, she was separated from her mother and forced to wander Asia for a decade. Her lonely journey led to her being sold into slavery. Jade would later kill her owner to earn her freedom. She later trained under We’Ch’ang to become an elite martial artist. At 16, she married an African assassin and master of poisons. She learned everything she could before poisoning her husband. As Cheshire, she went on to become one of DC’s deadliest assassins.
