Black Adam: The Suicide Squad could do what the JSA couldn’t
By Mark Lynch
The x-factors
There are three characters that could be keys to defeating Teth-Adam. They’re King Shark, Rat Catcher 2, and Polka-Dot Man. King Shark would likely die in this fight. He’d attempt to bite Black Adam and get ripped in half. However, his jaw and teeth may break Adam’s skin.
When King Shark fails, whatever Polka-Dot Man dots are should be able to break Adam’s skin. At the very least they’ll at least hurt him. Ratcatcher 2’s rats would just annoy Black Adam. Even a hundred rats aren’t going to stop a god. Nevertheless, all of that is enough of a distraction for the next member of the Suicide Squad.
Peacemaker
Unlike Bloodsport, Peacemaker isn’t much of a planner. He usually just runs into fights. The good thing here is he doesn’t have to plan. That’s what Amanda Waller is for. She knows how easy it is to manipulate Christopher Smith (Peacemaker). All she’d have to do is give him a weapon to kill Adam and tell him it’ll keep America safe. Unfortunately, Waller isn’t going to tell him everything. Just enough to keep him on her side. While everyone is risking their lives, Peacemaker would wait and get the kill shot.
The only problem here is when this would happen. If it happened after season 1 of Peacemaker on HBO Max, then Christopher doesn’t let his teammates risk their lives for him. He learned a lot about himself and what it means to have friends. If it’s prior to The Suicide Squad, he’d look at everyone on Task Force X as cannon fodder.
