There were various incarnations of the Squad appearing in other titles for a few years, then a new Suicide Squad series began in 2001. Written by Keith Giffen, this version was headed by [[Comicbook/SgtRock Frank ("Sergeant") Rock]], and lasted only twelve issues. The series ended on the cliffhanger that Rock may have been an impostor, and leaving open the question of just who that version of the Squad had actually worked for.

!!This comicbook series provides examples of the following:
* AbortedArc: At one point, it's brought up that Black Orchid has been sneaking into the team's command center after hours in order to view their computer databanks. Why exactly she's doing this is never made clear, and even though Waller talks about wanting to get to the bottom of whatever Orchid is up to, nothing ever really comes of it. The fact that the character was KilledOffForReal in Creator/NeilGaiman's ''Comicbook/BlackOrchid'' mini-series likely contributed to this plot point being dropped, while in the pages of ''Suicide Squad'', Warden Economos simply says that she's vanished and nobody knows where she went.

** During an early mission into Russia, the members of the Squad end up having to steal clothes and passports from some American tourists in order to escape the country. This then causes a problem that is often overlooked in other uses of this trope, as the Squad have no way of reliably detaining the replaced Americans (aside from [[KillAndReplace killing them]], which nobody but Deadshot and Comicbook/ThePenguin will even consider) long enough to reach the border. Nemesis winds up having to stay behind disguised as a Soviet so that he can pretend to arrest the real tourists, which subsequently leads to his own capture.
** In the aftermath of the crossover between the Suicide Squad and the Comicbook/JusticeLeagueInternational, Nemesis escapes from Russia by stealing the clothing and identity of a Russian black market dealer. The logical issue mentioned above is solved when the BoundAndGagged dealer is blackmailed into going along with his own capture and subsequently keeping quiet about what happened even after being freed.
