Why should they use the Suicide Squad

The Suicide Squad is supposed to be the group you send on missions so the U.S. Government can have plausible deniability. However, in Black Adam Amanda Waller sent a team to a foreign country with the name America in it. That alone should have made them a secondary option. Because of this overtly loud battle, Waller may have to have a talk with an international council.

There are other reasons to send the Suicide Squad in, though. First, if they die, they’re criminals that escaped prison and were killed. Second, when there’s collateral damage, they’re a bunch of villains running amuck. That’s par for the course, especially with Harley Quinn. Plus, the Suicide Squad is supposed to go on the missions too public for the big heroes. If the fight with Black Adam on international soil doesn’t warrant that kind of team, who qualifies? Sure, season 1 of Peacemaker concluded with the world finding out what Amanda Waller is up to, but let’s be honest: She’s untouchable and Task Force X probably still exists.

You’re probably thinking, “What chance does the Suicide Squad have? They’re not a team full of powerhouses.” To that, this writer says they have a better chance than the JSA did.
