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

4. Amanda Waller

Amanda Waller is ruthless, cunning, and aware of far more than she let on, Viola Davis did the same in her performance: perfect. As the members of the Suicide Squad learn Waller isn’t really a good guy either, she would likely rather the whole squad be killed once the mission is over than help them. Although some sympathy does seep through and at the end of the film each character has a slightly better imprisonment. Viola Davis’ portrayal was spot on and I look forward to seeing more of her character down the road–possibly butting heads with Batman and the soon-to-be-assembled Justice League. Oh and as if it had to be mentioned, DCEU Waller is far better than The CW incarnation as every character to appear in both so far (although aside from looks The CW Superman could change that).

3. El Diablo

El Diablo was a character, probably the only character aside from Incubus, that I knew nearly nothing about going in to the film. As such it’s a testament to Suicide Squad’s strong characters that I resonated so much with him, if only some of the ones lower on my list could have received similar treatment. From his tagic backstory of being unable to control his powers or temper resulting in murdering his wife and children to how reserved he was against using his abilities. Diablo seemed like the nicest guy on the team and it felt great to unleash his demon against Incubus even if it was another ugly CGI beast. Like seriously DC needs to get a new CGI department, the Hulk looks really good, I want to believe DC can get the same level of quality. Another interesting bit was the idea of Diablo’s demon making him able to resist the Enchantress’ charm and magic, unfortunately that both characters are now dead we’ll never get to explore that though. Speaking of, his death was pretty damn sad for me as I liked his character a lot.
