Ranking The Characters Of ‘Suicide Squad’ From Worst To Best

6. Katana

Katana served as the muscle for the “good” bit of the team, protecting Flagg in case the villains got out of hand. I must say she was perfectly intimidating and I wanted to see more of her slashing through people. She definitely felt like an outsider from the group as she spoke Japanese for a lot of the film, but I instantly gravitated toward her character. Boomerang’s hots for her also added some nice comedic beats. Only gripe here is I wanted more of her slicing through actual humans so her sould sword could actually make a showing of its power. I don’t know where Katana would show up down the road, but I want more of her.

5. Rick Flagg

As the commanding straight arrow of the group, Rick Flagg had the potential to be one of the film’s most boring members of the Suicide Squad– luckily he managed to overcome that. It’s possible that Flagg ranks so high due to having more screentime to most of his counterparts, but the character was also layered with motivation and heart. His being baited by Amanda Waller into the Suicide Squad added depth to both characters, and Flagg was a very charismatic leader to the team. He was able to begin relating to the villains despite having to kill any of them at a moment’s notice, which was nice to see. Ayer could have easily kept Flagg separate from the villains emotionally, but to being in love with the villain and beginning to tolerate characters such as Deadshot and Diablo he was only fleshed out more.
