History Characters / DCEUTaskForceXNewTeam

* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler:The intro deliberately frames them as the main squad only to be on the receiving end of a comical CurbstompBattle only minutes later, clearing the way for the real protagonists in Team B, with Flag and Harley as the only survivors of the first assault.]]

* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler: Team A, who after being [[CurbStompBattle utterly massacred on the beachhead]] are revealed to have just been a diversion so that Team B could land without drawing attention.]]

* ImprobableAimingSkills: He manages to hit all the targets across the walls of his cell with a bouncing ball.

* {{Gonk}}: He's just a disgustingly hideous creature.

** Bloodsport is a downplayed example as he's very dismissive of his daughter whom he finds annoying and doesn't find anything wrong with cursing her out. He even admits she shouldn't be hanging around him. His confrontation with Waller after Tyla's visit also shows he wasn't even aware of how old his daughter is. That being said, anyone aiming harm at her in any way sets him off.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Inevitably, due to the setting update, he's no longer a delusional man who believes himself to have been a Vietnam War vet but a genuine veteran who is perfectly stable.
* AdaptationalBadass: His comics counterpart only believed he was a war veteran due to his severe mental illness. Here, he genuinely did serve in the military and is extremely capable as a result.

-->See [[Characters/DCEUPeacemaker his character page]].

* The Stoic: He's generally gruff and inexpressive, giving him the air of having SeenItAll. [[spoiler:The "tough badass" act goes away after the military confrontation.]]
* SurroundedByIdiots: He deems his teammates "amateurs" after tried and seemingly failed to save Weasel, and he blamed that on their incompetence and the squad mission control.

* EuropeansAreKinky: Flirts with Harley during the helicopter ride.

* JokeCharacter: While not as pathetic as TDK, his only apparent gimmick is that he fights with a Javelin. [[spoiler: Unlike TDK, who at least gets to demonstrate his skill-set before being killed, Javelin is shot the minute he comes out of cover to throw his weapon. [[NeverBringAKnifeToAGunFight Turns out it's a bad idea to bring a guy who needs to be standing upright and out of cover to use his weapon in to a firefight]].]]

* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler: Although he is one of the casualties in the opening sequence, his javelin allowed Harley to injure Starro, giving the rats the opportunity to finish him off from the inside.]]
* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler:Passes his weapon on to Harley as he dies. She uses it to tear open Starro's eye, allowing Ratcatcher's rats to come in and finish the job.]]

->''"My mother was a scientist at S.T.A.R. Labs, and she was obsessed with turning me and my brothers and sisters into superheroes. She infected me. Now if I don't, you know, expel the dots twice a day... They'll eat me alive."''

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, Polka-Dot Man had [[FatBastard a pot belly]] and [[BritishTeeth a mean overbite]]. Here he's played by the slender and [[UnkemptBeauty unkempt but still considerably better-looking]] Creator/DavidDastmalchian.

* AmbiguousSituation: The reasons for why he was locked up is unknown by the end of the movie. It is strongly implied that he did kill his abusive mother, but this is never confirmed. [[spoiler:A deleted scene between him and the Thinker confirms that Krill did in fact kill her, which he claims was out of self-defense.]]

* ForcedIntoEvil: He's not a naturally violent man (readily admitting he doesn't like killing people), disapproves of alcohol based on the number of deaths drunk driving causes, actually enjoys helping others, and we don't know what -- or even if -- he did anything that justified him being locked up in Belle Rêve aside from killing his mother, which considering what she did to him, should be basis for leniency.

* HatesTheirParent: Despises his abusive mother; he can only kill people if he imagines them as her.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: [[spoiler:To the X-Force from Film/Deadpool2, an AntiHeroTeam that only exist to [[JokeCharacter show off a collection of weird and ridiculous obscure characters the filmmaker has the rights too]] and to [[UndignifiedDeath be comedically killed-off]] [[CListFodder early into their first mission]] leaving only the two characters with plot significance.]]

* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler: The intro deliberately frames them as the main squad only to be on the receiving end of a comical CurbstompBattle only minutes later, clearing the way for the real protagonists in Team B, with Flag and Harley as the only survivors of the first assault.]]

* AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, her family can stand toe-to-toe with Superman; [[spoiler:here she is killed when she is caught in a helicopter crash. Even her actor [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] that Mongal should be powerful enough to survive this.]]

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:She is trapped in the wreckage of a crashed helicopter and graphically burns to death.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: Her misguided attempt at taking down the Corto Maltese helicopter not only gets herself killed, but inadvertently kills Captain Boomerang as well, who up to that point had been holding his own in the ambush.]]

* WomanOnFire: [[spoiler: She dies by being burned alive.]]

* AdaptationalJerkass: While Savant in the comics was still a villain, he was unfailingly [[AffablyEvil polite and snarky with everyone]] and geniuenly respected Oracle and Black Canary. Here he is rather gruff and abrasive.

* AdaptationalWimp: Savant in the comics was a scarily professional expert hacker and blackmailer, and a martial artist on par with Black Canary or Green Arrow II, two of the best martial artists in DC. [[spoiler: Here, as soon as danger appears, he runs away.]]

* ImprobableAimingSkills: He is able to hit all the targets across the walls of his cell with a bouncing ball.
* KickTheDog: Needlessly kills a bird. Later on [[spoiler:after getting his head blown for ditching the mission, a bird [[TheDogBitesBack of the same species]] is seen eating his brains.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: [[spoiler: After witnessing his team get massacred by the military, he gets overwhelmed with fear and runs back into the sea. Despite telling him multiple times to turn back, Waller kills Savant for desertion.]]
* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:He is usually quiet and stoic until all of his teammates are killed, then he panics and flees.]]
* MilesGloriosus: Downplayed. [[spoiler: The team is getting decimated as Savant surveys the carnage, we expect for him to burst into a furious rage and go full LeeroyJenkins to avenge his team... [[AllForNothing but instead, he runs back into the sea and tries to swim to safety]]. Not even Waller's demands for him to turn back can stop him... [[YourHeadAsplode until she blows his head apart for going [=AWOL=].]]]]

* TheStoic: He's generally gruff and inexpressive, giving him the air of having SeenItAll. [[spoiler:The "tough badass" act goes away after the military confrontation.]]

* DamnedByFaintPraise: While everyone else on the team, even TDK, has powers or skills with at least ''some'' utility, Weasel is just kinda...there. The highest praise Rick Flag can think of to give to him before the mission begins is "[[NotHelpingYourCase I think]] he's agreed to do this."

* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod is Gunn based him on Bill the Cat from ComicStrip/BloomCounty.
* FishEyes: Has unfocused, bulging eyeballs to complete his scraggly, mangy appearance.
* {{Gonk}}: Just a disgustingly hideous creature.
* FullFrontalAssault: He is a naked weasel man.
* InformedAttribute: He's apparently a highly dangerous prisoner and a serial child killer, but within the film itself he comes off as too stupid to actually be an effective threat.
* JokeCharacter: The weirdest member of the team in appearance and demeanor, he is immediately incapacitated without contributing anything to the team because it turns out he can't swim.
* KillerRabbit: He seems to be a pathetic and not mentally there animal person, when Blackguard gets terrified at the prospect of sitting next to him (thinking he might be a werewolf), Rick Flag says that A:he's not a werewolf and B:he's harmless. Flag then [[VerbalBackspace corrects himself]] and notes that Weasel has killed 27 children.

* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: [[spoiler:When he wakes up after his seeming death, Weasel opts to run off into the jungle and go off the radar rather than partake in the mission.]]

* EmbarrassingNickname: It's revealed just before [[spoiler:his supposed-death]] that TDK is short for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVKhBZCAOP8 The Detachable Kid]]. Barely better than his original comic-book codename of "Arm-Fall-Off Boy", and bad enough that Rick Flag and Harley Quinn immediately hang a lampshade on it.

* LethalJokeCharacter: An InformedAttribute to be sure, but he's apparently been on enough successful missions that the control room is surprised he hasn't worked with Harley before.
* TheLoad: Gains this title because of the fact that his superpower does not help out his team very much at all. The only thing it does is annoy several Corto Maltese soldiers by slapping them repeatedly

* NiceGirl: She's the one member of Task Force X who isn't some form of murderer or supervillain before coming to Belle Reve, and as a consequence she's easily the most moral and friendly of the team. She's the one member of Task Force X to go out of her way to try and befriend everyone else from the start (even after King Shark tries to ''eat her'').
** Notably, while it's implied or openly stated that everyone else on the teams has killed or attempted to kill someone, Ratcatcher 2 was in prison for ''bank robbery'' because the prosecution argued that her rats counted as deadly weapons.

* OddFriendship: With Bloodsport as he views Cleo as a daughter-like figure. This is despite how Bloodsport is ''terrified'' of rats.
** Also, with Nanaue, who, once again, ''tried to eat her''.

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/TheSuicideSquad''

* AdaptationalUgliness: Savant is a young, attractive man in the comics, but [[AgeLift an older man]] with an unflattering hairstyle and outfit here.

* [[NiceGuy Nice Rat]]: He is incredibly friendly and affectionate, happily waving to everyone he meets.

* FlatCharacter: Aside from being an alien warrior, [[spoiler:she doesn't survive long enough to get any character development.]] If one were to pause the movie at the scene showing her criminal record, they could see that Mongal is in Belle Reeve for war crimes, crimes against humanity, mass homicide, destruction of property, aiding & abetting, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking threatening an official]].

* LongerThanLifeSentence: As revealed in her criminal record, Mongal was serving a sentence of over 200 years in Belle Reeve with the crimes justifying such a sentence being war crimes and crimes against humanity. Given such a long sentence no normal human could serve, it’s understandable that Mongal joined Task Force X in order to get that sentence reduced.

* AdaptationalDumbass: There is only one mention made of him being an expert blackmailer like in the comics through his criminal record, which states that he is in Belle Reeve for an extortion charge. These skills are never shown onscreen as he is portrayed as gruff and co-dependent instead.

* AlmightyJanitor: Robert [=DuBois=] is introduced cleaning the Belle Reeve penitentiary, picking up the trash of other inmates like Blackguard and Savant, and he's also one of the deadliest assassins in the DCEU. Bloodsport has [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu hospitalized Superman]] with a Kryptonite bullet (although WordOfGod is that Superman recovered), packs enough weaponry to briefly overpower King Shark, and is a marksman capable of out-dueling [[TheAce Peacemaker]] in a gunfight by shooting through Peacemaker's hollow-point rounds dead center with his own, smaller, armor-piercing bullets.

* NobleDemon: Bloodsport is open about being an assassin and a killer, telling his daughter that she's better off without him as a father. And unlike the other Squad members who readily (though sometimes reluctantly) take the offer of a suicide mission if only to get out of Belle Reeve for a week, Bloodsport categorically refuses to join Amanda Waller's taskforce until she threatens to throw his daughter in prison with him, despite working as a janitor for presumably far less than a decade off his sentence. [[spoiler: Bloodsport also risks his life to defy Waller by helping to save Corto Maltese from being destroyed by Starro when his orders were to do nothing.]]

* ForcedIntoEvil: He's not a naturally violent man (readily admitting he doesn't like killing people), disapproves of alcohol based on the number of deaths drunk driving causes, actually enjoys helping others, and we don't know what -- or even if -- he did anything that justified him being locked up in Belle Reeve aside from killing his mother, which considering what she did to him, should be basis for leniency.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Bloodsport is essentially this to ComicBook/{{Deadshot}} from the first movie. Both men are elite-level assassins and {{Notorious Parent}}s with [[HitmanWithAHeart hidden hearts of gold]] who end up being dragged into Waller's suicide mission for the sake of their children. But where as Deadshot is the doting father of a [[CheerfulChild cheerful young girl]] who loves him despite of his career as a hired gun, Bloodsport is a [[AbusiveParents terrible father]] to a [[{{Delinquents}} juvenile delinquent]] who are both [[DysfunctionalFamily constantly at each other's throats.]] Whereas Deadshot is motivated to join the Squad by his need to be back in his daughter's life, Bloodsport wants nothing to do with his kid, but is coerced into joining the team or else his daughter will be sent to Belle Reve by Waller to die. Where Deadshot was consistently at odds with Rick Flag during their mission in Midway City and had to overcome their grievances with one another to get the job done, Bloodsport and Flag are [[FireForgedFriends old war buddies]] who are far more cordial to one another during their operation in Corto Maltese. Deadshot was snarky yet fairly cordial with his teammates (aside from Flag), whereas Bloodsport is more antagonistic (ironically he's the most consistently friendly around Flag) and takes longer to shed his weary, self hating and aggressive attitude. And where Deadshot's skillset is defined by his ImprobableAimingSkills, Bloodsport's skillset showcases a bigger emphasis on him being both a WalkingArmory and a MultiMeleeMaster who's capable of mowing down entire armies with his [[MoreDakka superior firepower.]] And more strikingly, [[spoiler: where Deadshot completed his mission but is still entrapped as Waller's asset, Bloodsport succeeded in obtaining freedom for both himself and the surviving members of his squad via blackmailing Waller with the data collected from Jotunheim.]] Even their superhero adversaries are contrasting, with Deadshot being a Franchise/{{Batman}} villain who was eventually appended by the Dark Knight during a night out with his daughter while Bloodsport is a Franchise/{{Superman}} villain who [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu put the Man of Steel in the ICU]] before he was arrested.
