The Suicide Squad, also known as Task Force X, is a team of supervillains appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The team was created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru and first appeared in The Brave and the Bold #25 in 1959. The team typically consists of imprisoned supervillains who are offered reduced sentences in exchange for carrying out high-risk missions for the government. The team has gone through several iterations and has been led by various characters over the years, including Amanda Waller and Rick Flag.
The Suicide Squad has been a popular concept in comics, and has also been adapted into other media, including television shows and films. The 2016 film adaptation, directed by David Ayer and starring Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Viola Davis, was a box office success and helped to bring the characters to a wider audience. The concept of the Suicide Squad has also been used as an inspiration for several other comics, movies and TV shows.
The Suicide Squad has also been a controversial concept, with some criticism aimed at its premise of using imprisoned criminals as disposable assets, and the team's portrayal of violence and morally gray characters. Despite this, the Suicide Squad has remained a popular and enduring concept in comics, and continues to be a fan favorite among readers.
