Later, Rick Flag Jr. stepped in his father’s shoes to form the team again and a congressional aide named Amanda Waller found the classified files of the program and Task Force X resurfaced as Suicide Squad. Initially, members with reputation like Bronze Tiger, Deadshot, Blockbuster, Captain Boomerang and Enchantress signed up as expendable agents for the team who will go on life-threatening covert missions assigned by Waller.

In the prison of Belle Reve, Louisiana, the Squad set up its base of operation and they were quite instrumental on the Manhunter invasion during “Millennium” as well as fighting the Female Furies of Darkseid from Apokolips. Batman eventually discovers the existence of the team and threatens Waller to expose the truth in public but she also made him leave by threatening to reveal his identity.

When General Frank Rock run the team, many of the members dies but over time, villains like Bane, Harley Quinn, Mindboggler, Plastique, Nemesis, Nightshade, Killer Frost, Slipknot, Heat Wave, Count Vertigo, Doctor Light, Shrike, King Shark, Knockout, Chemo, Plasmus and Shrapnel has joined the ranks of the team with President Luthor and General Lane in charge.
