The Advance Research Group United Support (A.R.G.U.S.), it's a U.N. sponsored organization, created first to monitor the activities of metahumans, "superheroes", and "supervillains" and prepare reports for the United Nations, but when the Justice League was reformed under the U.N., ARGUS took a more direct role as not only a support organization for the Justice League, but also as a police force meant to assist the Justice League in the pursuit, capture, and detainment of "super-criminals".
In General
- Rank Scales with Asskicking:
- Big Good: At least in theory. They try, anyway.
- Cloak and Dagger: Operate primarily on this trope.
- Fun with Acronyms: Advance Research Group United Support.
- Good is Not Nice / Good Is Not Soft: Both tropes apply in equal measure to different members of the agency.
- Government Agency of Fiction: One certainly hopes that there's no real-life equivalent.
- Meaningful Name: Argus of Classical Mythology is a creature with a hundred eyes, and A.R.G.U.S. is an organization charged with watching over the Earth.
Administration
Maxwell Lord
Possessing the power of extreme mind control, Max Lord is one of the greatest masterminds on Earth. He has been closely associated with Checkmate, and later with A.R.G.U.S.
- Anti-Villain: He is kind of extreme, but he wants to make the world a better place.
- Charm Person: Lord's powers allowed him to telepathically influence people's minds, typically in the form of pushing a subconscious suggestion to others.
- Control Freak: The most underlying essence about Max's character, his origin, and his villainous motivations are his obsession with control.
- Deadpan Snarker: He has a crass remark ready for every situation.
- Insufferable Genius: The man is a technological genius and he will not let you forget it.
- Psychic Nosebleed: Maxwell Lord in Earth 27 has mind control abilities that aren't telepathic in nature. It is the reason he hasn't been outed yet. Mind controlling several people at once or particularly powerful minds causes his nose to bleed. Sometimes he bleeds from his ears and eyes too.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Possibly. Max certainly talks a big game about saving humanity, and at times it does look like that's genuinely his aim.
Amanda Waller
Deputy Director of A.R.G.U.S. with an almost completely classified record, Amanda Waller is the ruthless creator and director of Task Force X - better known as the Suicide Squad.
- Bad Boss: To the Suicide Squad: she puts freaking bombs in their heads, in case they get any ideas about escape. However, this is justified, in that the Squad is made up of murderers and other criminals.
- Black Boss Lady: Amanda Waller, in any organizations, is widely recognized as one of the few people who can make Batman think twice about messing with her.
- Control Freak: She has a definite domineering streak to the point it functions as a strength and a character flaw.
- Demonic Possession: She had been controlled by a Daemonite for a decade until she was freed by The Monitor.
- The Dreaded: Despite having no powers, she's not above capturing villains, sending them to death trap planets, putting bombs in them, recruiting them into the Suicide Squad, and using the bombs if the crooks step out of line. She also goes against heroes in addition to the bad guys and as the picture quote points out, even Batman, another example of this trope, is afraid of her.
- Foil: To Batman. Both are extremely pragmatic and intelligent manipulators who don't trust anyone else to get the job done, but one is a rich white guy who inherited a fortune that adheres to a higher moral code of protecting civilians from criminals and compassion towards human life while the other is black woman who came from poverty, clawing and scratching her way to power, but abides by a Machiavellian moral code and is willing to make whatever sacrifice is needed for her greater good.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: She started off a housewife before her family died. Now she's one of DC's premier Chessmasters.
- Good is Not Nice: Nominally she wants to keep the world safe, but she's abrasive, domineering and many times unsympathetic towards other people.
- In-Series Nickname: The Wall.
- Iron Lady: You have to be commanding and have a temper when your job consists in leading a squad of superpowered lunatics and broken heroes.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: She has no recollection of what she did while possessed by a Daemonite for at least a decade.
- Manipulative Bitch: While in her better days she's simply magnificent, she can stoop pretty low if if will get the mission done.
- Nerves of Steel: Keeping her cool under most situations is why she's called 'The Wall'.
- Noble Demon: If she's feeling charitable, having a good day and there are no crises in the horizon.
- Outliving One's Offspring: Her eldest son Joe Waller Jr. and her eldest daughter Damita were killed on separate incidents with her being unable to do anything about it. That and losing her husband Joseph is one of the main reasons for her abrasive personality.
- Scary Black Woman: And how!
Rick Flag
A special operations officer who acts as the field commander of Task Force X.
- Badass Normal: No special powers, but can exchange blows with Batman.
- Colonel Badass: His military rank is stated to be colonel, and Waller calls him the best special forces officer the United States has ever produced.
- Dating Catwoman: He used to be in a relationship with June Moone, aka the host of Enchantress. Amanda Waller thinks this can help to keep Enchantress on a leash. She's quite wrong.
- The Dragon: He serves as Waller's right-hand man.
- Patriotic Fervor: Downplayed. His bio states he "bleeds red, white, and blue". This turns out to be more of an informed trait.
- Straight Man: Used a lot, given all appearances paired with the Large Ham of Hellequin and Boomerang, and the neverending snark by Deadshot.
- Token Good Teammate: For a given definition of "good" considering he works for a government black ops agency.

Operations Division
Harbinger (Lyla Michaels-Diggle)
Click for Harbinger
The Chief of Operations member of ARGUS and ex-wife (later remarried) of John Diggle. After working with the Monitor for several months, Lyla finally agreed to become the true Harbinger and was granted an endowment of cosmic power so potent that it would likely have killed any being who had not been truly chosen. Now, as the Harbinger of the Monitor, Lyla oversees the Challengers and acts as the Monitor's right hand in his upcoming war against the Anti-Monitor.
- Action Mom: She and John have a daughter, Sarah Diggle.
- Amazonian Beauty: Here she's tall and muscular, and undoubtedly beautiful, especially as Harbinger.
- Barrier Warrior: Lyla can generate and manipulate Force Fields constructed of Cosmic Energy for a variety of effects such as protection or containment of hostile forces.
- Chest Insignia: A pink circular "E27" logo on her chest.
- Composite Character: Harbinger is combined with Lyla Michaels from the Arrow TV series.
- Energy Absorption: Lyla can manipulate the forces and elements of the universe and generate cosmic energy from her eyes and hands.
- Kryptonite Factor: Magic is magic. It may be possible to use powerful occult methods to interfere with her cosmic energy manipulation.
- Lethal Chef: Watches cooking shows when home alone, but is herself a horrible cook.
- Logical Weakness: As Harbinger, Lyla's cosmic powers are at the mercy of the Monitor's discretion. As a result, she cannot use her powers to defy him. If she were mind controlled to against the Monitor, her powers would not respond. Likewise, when the Monitor is significantly weakened, this effect may make Lyla powerless as well.
- Mama Bear: If you were an idiot, you could try to go after Lyla by way of her family, but Oracle would warn you that John Diggle is no slouch.
- The Mentor: Served as Charlie Parker's mentor.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: Though not a being usually driven to exert herself physically, Lyla's strength, resilience, and durability scores all appear to be in the realm of at least Class VI.
- Official Couple: With John Diggle.
- Over-the-Top Christmas Decorations: Lyla is a huge Christmas fan, going overboard with decorations for the holidays and usually taking her vacation around this time of year in order to spend as much time as possible with John and Sara. Even Lyla's favorite drink is, of course, egg nog.
- Physical God: Lyla holds more potential power than that of a mature Apokalyptan, Genesisian, or Kryptonian; and the primary source of this immense power is the ability to shape cosmic energy. Lyla is only a novice with with power, however, and her skill with it is rather basic.
- Power Dyes Your Hair: Her brunette hair turns blonde as the Harbinger.
- Prefers Going Barefoot: Lyla hates shoes and socks. Often works barefoot in her office in A.R.G.U.S. or puts slippers on to walk the halls.
- Self-Duplication: Lyla can literally be in several places at once through creating cosmic duplicates of herself. However, when doing so, her original form and each duplicate only contains a fraction of her power.
- Super-Senses: Lyla has very sharp cosmic senses, which allows her to see the unseen, hear transmitted frequencies, and even gift another with insight through touch.
- Telepathy: Though still learning how to use this ability, Lyla can glean telepathic insights from those around her.
- Teleporters and Transporters: By opening cosmic rifts, Lyla can "teleport" through space at hyper-light speeds. This ability also seems able to cross all dimensional thresholds at will.
- Time Stands Still: As a cosmic being, Lyla is theoretically able to halt the flow of time, but has yet to demonstrate this ability or even a passive immunity to time disruptions like other cosmic beings.

- Colonel Badass: Steve is the ARGUS agent assigned to oversee the Justice League and make sure they stay on the up and up.

Other Operatives
The Phantasm (Andrea Beaumont)
Click for Civilian Look
Once the daughter of a well to do Gotham business man, and ex-girlfriend of Bruce Wayne, Andrea Beaumont becomes a grim reaper for those involved with organized crime in Gotham City as the methodical Phantasm.
- Anti-Villain: The Phantasm falls somewhere between "Well-Intentioned Anti-Villain" and "Vicious Anti-Hero".

- Big Damn Heroes: Saved the Terrible Trio from Bane, Phosphorus and Talon when they were about to be killed.
- Blade Below the Shoulder: Wields a bladed weapon over the right hand.

Suicide Squad/Task Force X
In General
- Affably Evil: The squad's members are all convicted criminals with blood on their hands, yet they have a true sense of camaraderie.
- Anti-Villain: The Squad is full of hardened criminals, hitmen, and psychopaths but that doesn't mean they aren't willing to save the world if pressed. Then again, it's the very world they are part of and they want to stay alive so it makes sense for them to save it.
- Cannon Fodder: One of the main "selling points" of Waller's idea is that, as criminals, most of which without any formal military training or proper equipment, they're very expendable, unlike the expensive well-trained soldiers who the government very much would like to keep alive.
- Composite Character: They're mostly based on their Suicide Squad (2016) incarnation, with some members from the Assault on Arkham and Arrowverse.
- Explosive Leash: As usual they have nano-implants that will explode if they try to go rogue, or Waller gets displeased with them.
- Fire-Forged Friends: They only know each other by reputation, but in the end they have become this. Bonding over their screwed-up lives help.
- Meaningful Name: Since they're a group of criminals, it'll be easy to dispatch them via Explosive Leash and use them as scapegoats should the mission fail.
- Multinational Team: The group is quite diverse.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Suicide Squad. Yeah, that's not good.
- Nominal Hero: The Squad is made of hardened criminals, hitmen and psychopaths but that doesn't mean they aren't willing to save the world if pressed (ganged).
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: They are usually a very colorful bunch; on this case there's a hitman with Improbable Aiming Skills, a ditzy Psycho Psychologist, a humanoid crocodile, a Jerkass Awesome Aussie, a woman with ice powers, a Mexican with fire powers, a Harley Quinn copycat who was originally a "secret weapon" of Waller to spy the Joker, a deranged stalker of Green Arrow, a sorceress with a Split Personality and a Token Good Teammate with shadow powers.
- Reformed Criminals: Heavily enforced. Literally enforced, in fact.
- Suicide Mission: Amanda Waller plans to send them on missions deemed too dangerous or politically sensitive for normal soldiers. Hence the team's nickname.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: The threat of exploding is usually what keeps them from trying to kill each other.

Click for Civilian Look
An expert marksman and assassin. A mercenary by day and a concerned father by night, Deadshot is a conflicted criminal who enjoys the hunt, but is still trying to do right by his young daughter.
- Abusive Parents: His father was not a nice man. His mother was even worse.

- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: His daughter, obviously.
- Friends with Benefits: He's the unattached lover of Jeannette Halmi.
- Guns Akimbo: His wrist mounted guns, or just two pistols.
- Improbable Aiming Skills: The master of this in the DC Universe (in regards to guns, at least). If you want to get an idea of how skilled he is, he can shoot other bullets that have already been fired out of the air.
- Knuckle Tattoos: Has 'Deadshot' tattooed on his knuckles.
- Professional Killer: A lot of his jobs are mercenary gigs, but he generally tries to stick with hitman work. Batman once managed to save a witness Deadshot had been hired to kill by freezing his employer's bank accounts, suspending Deadshot's pay.
- Super Wrist-Gadget: His trademark weapons, which are automatic and silenced.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With Catman. He and Thomas know one day they might kill each other, but for the most part they're friends.

Click for Civilian Look

- Action Mom: She's the mother of Lucy Quinzel and despite becoming more anti-heroic in recent years, she's still just as skilled as ever.

- Allegorical Character: She serves as one to toxic relationships.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys Or Girls: Justified. Despite her sympathetic portrayal, she's very far from being innocent and virtuous herself. She dated the Joker and is in a polyamorus relationship with Poison Ivy.
- Badass Adorable: She is a very adorable, attractive blonde-haired woman with a bubbly personality. She also happens to be a psychotic nutcase who is perfectly willing to shoot you and hit you with her mallet.
- Became Their Own Antithesis: From a prim and proper psychiatrist to a prancing clown who's self-admittedly crazy.
- Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: She, Selina and Ivy formed the Gotham City Sirens and they still work together on occasion.
- Beware the Nice Ones: She is, by far, the nicest, sweetest member of Batman's rogues gallery. However, do not think her lovelorn origin and bubbly demeanor means she isn't a homicidal psychopath.
- Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: The blonde to Catwoman's brunette and Ivy's redhead.
- Book Smart: Enough to become valedictorian of her highschool and get a scholarship.
- Broken Ace: She was so gifted both physically and mentally (and extraordinarily attractive) that she labored under immense pressure to be perfect. She jumped so eagerly into her role as the Joker's dumb blonde sidekick because it freed her from people's expectations. If she's a dumb, clumsy blonde, or the Joker's mentally broken victim, no one expects anything out of her.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: She's a ditzy goofball, who's also a master manipulator and gymnast.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Even when she does get declared sane, she's still weird.
- College Radio: She was a radio DJ in college and a popular one. It's where she first made contact with The Joker.
- Combat Sadomasochist: She is noted to possess masochistic tendencies and part of why she dated The Joker is cause his abuse of her feeds those tendencies.
- Critical Psychoanalysis Failure: Granted, Joker does this a lot, but none of his other doctors wound up in love with him. She once wrote up a report on the Joker claiming that he was perfectly sane, but simply faking it to avoid the death penalty, and because he was enjoying his own maniacal behavior.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Despite her ditzy personality, Harley is a competent fighter and is unstable enough to be unpredictable. She's even gotten the drop on Batman once or twice.
- Cute and Psycho: Cute as a button and more than willing to murder.
- Dark Action Girl: She is a very spectacular gymnast. Her skills rival those of Catwoman and Nightwing.
- Depraved Bisexual: Subverted. While she is both depraved and bisexual, one is not implied to have anything to do with the other; indeed, her relationships with the Joker and Ivy are more humanizing and sympathetic than anything else.
- The Dog Bites Back: When working with the Joker, she takes a lot of abuse. But there's only so much she'll take before she turns on him and hits back hard.
- Domestic Abuse: Perhaps the poster child for this trope in the Superhero universe. If you were going to give the Joker a girlfriend, it really couldn't go any other way.
- Dumb Blonde: She's really psychopathic, but still a ditzy, kinda sweet girl. Though this personality can be either genuine, Obfuscating Stupidity, or both.
- Empowered Badass Normal: Although this is rarely brought up, Harley is mildly superhuman, with enhanced strength, healing, and an immunity to most poisons, because of being dosed with a herbal Super Serum by Poison Ivy.
- Even Evil Has Standards: She has a soft spot for animals and does NOT take kindly to people who abuse them.
- Everyone Went to School Together: She went to the same school as Barbara Gordon a few years ahead.

- Florence Nightingale Effect: Like most incarnations, she falls for The Joker and becomes his sidekick.
- Fluffy Tamer: Her pet hyenas Bud and Lou.
- Friends with Benefits: One way to describe her relationship with Ivy.
- Genius Ditz: She may act ditzy and insane, but she's still an accomplished psychologist.
- Genki Girl: Hyper cheerful all the time.
- Girlish Pig Tails: When out of costume she usually has her hair in pigtails. Fitting considering how childish she is.
- Glass Cannon: Even though she definitely can fight, she isn't very resistant and is often easily knocked-out when things get physical.
- Grade Skipper: She skipped a grade in high school.
- Happy Harlequin Hat: Completing her harlequin inspired outfit is her iconic red and black hat, though it has two flaps and no bells.
- Has a Type: Redheaded women. Harley has been a romantic partner to Poison Ivy and has expressed attraction toward Batwoman.
- Legacy Character: Ends up being this when Marian Drew took her place as the Joker's sidekick.
- Love Makes You Crazy: She fell in love with The Joker. Crazy doesn't even begin to describe it.
- Mad Love: The Trope Namer. The Joker saw her immediately as a tool to be used, and manipulated her into becoming a henchmen.
- Mood-Swinger: Diagnosed with a bipolar disorder, and her mood changes at the drop of a hat.
- Morality Pet: Oddly, not just for the Joker or Poison Ivy; almost all the other inmates at Arkham seem to have a bit of a soft spot for Harley.
- Most Common Super Power: Harley has huge busty buxom breasts.
- Ms. Fanservice: She often wears a tight jester suit and switches it out for what can best be described as a biker outfit designed to resemble her former appearance. She even wears a one piece swimsuit in a summer drawing.
- The Nicknamer: She lovingly calls the Joker "Mr. J" and "puddin". She also refers to Poison Ivy as "Red", Catwoman as "Kitty", and (occasionally) Batman as "B-Man".
- Obfuscating Stupidity: While she is a bit ditzy, she often acts more stupid and airheaded than she is to fool people or for the sake of a joke.
- Of Corsets Sexy: Her outfit features a red tiny, barely closed corset.
- One Degree of Separation: She was neighbors with Barbara Gordon as a kid and went to the same school.
- Perky Female Minion: She's an unrepentant murderer, but so cheerful and so absolutely devoted to "Mistah J" that one can't help but pity her when he slaps her around and/or threatens to kill her.
- Polyamory: She tends to bounce between Joker, Poison Ivy, and Deadshot... depending on hers and their incarceration status.
- Positive Friend Influence: Her friendship with Ivy and Selina is noted to have done more for her reform than any stay at Arkham.
- Psychotic Womanchild: It's all but established that she's detached from reality and now sees the world like one big cartoon, and that her actions are like a game. As a result she often acts, and sometimes thinks, like a sugar-high kid.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: She wears a black and red playing card motif.
- She-Fu: She studied to be a doctor, but can do Olympic-level gymnastics, and received superhuman abilities from Poison Ivy.
- Smart People Wear Glasses: She wears them whenever she's not in costume, and are a good reminder she's actually really intelligent.
- The Sociopath: Narrowly averted. While she does have some of the symptoms (need for excitement, poor impulse control), she is capable of showing love and compassion, and sometimes feels remorse after doing something really awful, things true sociopaths don't do.
- Steven Ulysses Perhero: Harleen Quinzel.
- Villainous Friendship: She's on genuinely good terms with Poison Ivy and Catwoman.
- Villainous Harlequin: Her name and costume is based on a Harlequin.
- Weapon-Based Characterization: Harley's weapon is her iconic huge mallet, representing her wacky personality.
- Woman Scorned: She's none too please to find out Mister J has replaced her with a younger model. Luckily she takes it out on him and not on Marian.
Killer Croc (Waylon Jones)
Waylon Jones was born with a genetic mutation giving him a reptile's skin, sharp claws, and teeth; due to genetic atavism. Croc became a circus wrestler who would rise to conquer the Gotham Mob racket only then to become one of Batman's most physically imposing rogues.
- Absurdly Spacious Sewer: Often finds himself in one of these.
- Ax-Crazy: He is a cannibalistic Serial Killer, after all.
- Beast Man: Just look at him.
- The Berserker: His fighting style more or less revolves around completely overwhelming the opponent with his sheer speed, strength, and resistance to harm.
- Blessed with Suck: Croc's condition gives him the power of a crocodile, but also the monstrous appearance and animalistic impulses of one, which prevents him from ever living a normal life.
- Book Dumb: He's not good with big words, but very cunning.
- The Brute: Packs the biggest physical punch in the current Squad.
- The Dreaded: In the streets he may just be a brute but in Arkham he is the scariest inmate.
- Fangs Are Evil: His razor-sharp teeth are quite fearsome, to say the least.
- Healing Factor: Croc can recover from anything that doesn't outright kill him. Little injuries supposedly heal near instantly and he can even grow back lost limbs.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: He had some sort of relationship with Baby Doll, who is already much smaller than a normal person, thanks to her condition.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: There is a part of him that wishes he didn't have powers and could live a normal life.
- I'm a Humanitarian: His Arkham profile reminds us he's anthropophagus (man-eater).
- Immune to Bullets: Croc's skin is thick enough to ward off even high caliber bullets.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Homicidal tendencies aside, Waylon can be surprisingly nice and protective to those he cares about.
- Lizard Folk: Killer Croc used to be just a big strong guy with a skin condition, but he's become more lizard-like over time.
- The Mentally Disturbed: Croc is atavistic, and when intelligent, has the mindset one would expect of an alligator or similar reptile. As a result his moral agency is seriously questionable, and he's one of the few Batman rogues who legitimately belongs in Arkham.
- Mutant: Possesses an atavistic mindset, coupled with a skin condition not unlike epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, and a metagene. The end result is the crocodilian monster we all know and love.
- Never Smile at a Crocodile: He's the Killer Croc, so it comes with the territory.
- Odd Friendship: He and June Moone/Enchantress get along pretty well.
- Scary Black Man: While it's not really noticeable thanks to his mutation, but Waylon Jones is a black man.
- A Shared Suffering: His friendship with June Moone is due in part to their shared hatred of their powers.
- Super-Strength: His strength crosses the line into superhuman, making him very difficult to stop. He can even trade blows with Solomon Grundy.
- Super Swimming Skills: Killer Croc is an adept swimmer due to living in the sewers for so long.
- Then Let Me Be Evil: Waylon has been mistreated his whole life because of his deformities, and while his mutation was already doing a number on his sanity, his treatment didn't exactly help.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: He usually doesn't bother with a shirt.
- Wolverine Claws: Killer Croc's fingers are sharpened and white like bones. He uses them to cut open doors or crush skulls.
- Wrestler in All of Us: He was originally a wrestler, and he still fights like one. Makes sense, since crocodiles already grapple their prey (albeit with their mouths).

Click for Civilian Look
An ice-powered supervillain and archnemesis of Firestorm and Coldsnap.
- Alliterative Name: Louise Lincoln.
- An Ice Person: Louise has the ability to absorb heat from external sources and transmute it into waves of cold. Using these powers, they can create an ice-sheen across her entire body that grants her increased durability, cause intense blizzards that can instantly freeze the target and generate objects composed completely of ice, such as projectiles in the form of ice shards and defensive walls or shields.

- Interspecies Romance: She's a metahuman who's in a relationship with a shark demigod.
- Kill It with Fire: Averted. Contrary to others who share her power set, heat does little damage to Killer Frost. In fact, heat is essential to her continued existence. Attacking Killer Frost with a heat based-weapon would only serve to strengthen her.
- Kiss of Death: A favored tactic of hers is to kiss men and absorb their heat/freeze them from the inside.
- Manipulative Bitch:
- She manipulated the Tragic Villain Mr. Freeze into a relationship with her, only for her to reveal that she had never truly loved him and was using him as a pawn the entire time while they were being carted off to prison.
- Took advantage of Caitlin Snow's low self-esteem at the time and her desire to prove herself to manipulate her into believing she could be rehabilitated and even let her think she was her friend, until the moment Caitlin took off her inhibitor collar and stabbed her with an icepick.
- Official Couple: Currently the lover of King Shark.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She's only 5'3" in height, but she's one of the deadlier members of the Suicide Squad.

- Asian Babymama: Cheshire (Vietnamese/French) is both Arsenal and Catman's Babymama.

- Dating Catwoman: She acts like she and Roy have this relationship during his time with the League of Assassins.
- Deadly Scratch: Due to her status as a Master Poisoner, she often fights with the aim to inflict these, as most of her weapons are coated with poisons, as it is all she needs to inflict her deadly toxins on her opponents. Her most iconic weapon is actually her nails, which allows her to subtly scratch people, poisoning them without them even noticing it.

Through her great-uncle John Blake Jr., she's related to most of the Blake family. And through her great-aunt Mabel "Millie" Blake, she's second cousin of the Winchester brothers.
- Slasher Smile: It's how she got her name.
- Smoke Out: One of Chesire's favorite tricks.
- Statuesque Stunner: She's 175cm tall and undoubtedly beautiful.

Cupid (Carrie Cutter)
Click for Civilian Look
An obsessed admirer of Green Arrow, and has taken it upon herself to hunt down his enemies to prove her love to "her man". She nurses an extreme hatred for the Black Canary.
- Abhorrent Admirer: Green Arrow isn't really interested in her, though this has less to do with her being ugly and more with her being a completely insane Yandere.
- Alliterative Name: Carrie Cutter. Her full name is actually Carolina Christine Cutter.
- Bare Midriffs Are Feminine: She wears a midriff-baring tank-top as Cupid and she's quite feminine, if mentally unstable.
- Collared by Fashion: Wears a choker with a heart in it.

- Has a Type: She apparently falls for anyone who saves her life.
- Mad Love: Green Arrow clearly isn't interested in her, but try explaining that to her...

- Older Than They Look: The COBALT formula rejuvenated her physically and gave her enhanced senses.
- Redhead In Green: Has red hair and dresses in green to imitate Green Arrow.

- Shell-Shocked Veteran: The trauma from her time as a special ops soldier was what caused her to volunteer for a Super-Soldier progam.
- Statuesque Stunner: As Oliver can attest, she might be bonkers, but she's gorgeous and is 5'9"/175cm tall.

El Diablo (Chato Santana)
Click for Civilian Look
A former street gang member who's possessed by an entity who can summon flames.
- Afraid of Their Own Strength: He is very reluctant to use his fire powers because of how much damage they can cause. In prison, we see him getting beaten repeatedly by affiliates of his old gang, but he never fights back, afraid of letting the spirit take control of him again. He's in the infirmary recovering from injuries when Waller pulls back the curtain to look at him.
- The Atoner: When he is recruited, he regrets using his destructive powers in the past and is very reluctant to use them again, until Deadshot pushes him over the edge amidst a battle.
- Composite Character: Takes most of his characterization from his Suicide Squad incarnation.
- Cursed with Awesome: He's easily one of the most powerful members of the team, but due to his traumatic past he's too scared to cut loose.
- Demonic Possession: He refers to his powers as a curse, as he's actually the new host of the Spirit of Vengeance entity. He even refers to "El Diablo" as a separate entity.
- Gods Need Prayer Badly: A related case. The more wealth and respect he won as a street criminal, the stronger his pyrokinetic abilities became, as if feeding on his success.
- Gratuitous Spanish: Given he has a Latino background, he has many lines when he speak or curse in spanish words either.
- Legacy Character: He's the second person to take the El Diablo identity after Lazarus Lane.
- Martial Pacifist: He avoids fighting whenever he can, but Deadshot motivates him to the point where it is necessary.
- Not Wearing Tights: Unlike everyone else at the Squad, as El Diablo he simply wears casual clothes.

- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's the shortest male on the Squad at 5'6"/165cm tall, but in terms of sheer destructive power, he's only surpassed by the Enchantress.
- Playing with Fire: He possesses pyrokinesis, to the extent he's basically a walking flamethrower.
- The Quiet One: He doesn't talk a lot on the field and tries to keep his unwillingness to use his powers under the radar as long as possible.
- Tattooed Crook: His body is covered in tattoos, both images of death — like the Sinister Scythe on his forehead — and words.
