Highlights

  • Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League introduces iconic villains and tasks players with taking down DC Comics' greatest heroes in an alien invasion.
  • The game will feature four playable villains at launch, with more intended to be added as DLC in the future.
  • While leaks point towards certain DLC characters already, Rocksteady should consider adding characters like Bloodsport, Parasite, Polka-Dot Man, Bronze Tiger, and Count Vertigo.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is bringing Task Force X to the world of video games in a way that's never been done before. Not only will players get to embody iconic villains such as Harley Quinn and Deadshot, but they'll be tasked with taking down some of DC Comics' greatest heroes amidst an alien invasion. Four playable villains in total will be available in Suicide Squad: KIll the Justice League at launch, and developer Rocksteady has already shared that more will be introduced at launch. Thanks to some leaks, fans also have a loose idea of whom those additional villains may be.

With its live-service format, the sky is the limit for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's DLC villains. The team has historically been comprised of dozens of notable characters over the years, making the base game's Task Force X a bit small by comparison. There's no telling at what rate Rocksteady will add these new villains, but the wide world of DC Comics gives the developer a lot of room to work with. The recent Kill the Justice League leaks already suggest that quite a few villains are in the pipeline, but if the game receives serious long-term support, there are a few other villains who should be strongly considered.

Zsasz Would Be an Entertainingly Morbid DLC Character in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's Task Force X could debut a true degenerate wild card by reprising Zsasz as a playable DLC character.

Bloodsport

Bloodsport recently rose to prominence thanks to his appearance in the 2021 film The Suicide Squad, but Kill the Justice League could introduce a version of the character that's slightly more accurate to his comic origins. He historically has a close connection to Superman, as he's been tasked by Lex Luthor to kill the superhero in the past. Kill the Justice League could introduce the villain by touching on this history, while ensuring he has the lethal arsenal of firearms that makes him so dangerous.

Parasite

Another Superman villain, Parasite could serve as a similarly brutish character to King Shark in Kill the Justice League. Often depicted as a monstrous creature, Parasite can absorb the powers of other heroes just by touching them. While it may be difficult to apply this ability to Kill the Justice League's action-shooter gameplay, he would nonetheless be an iconic inclusion with a heap of narrative and gameplay potential.

Polka-Dot Man

Another villain who was featured in The Suicide Squad, Polka-Dot Man is an incredibly strange villain who gets more mileage out of his absurdity than any actual acts of villainy. He could still prove to be a dynamic and visually striking DLC character in Kill the Justice League though, using his polka dots to dish out damage just as Captain Boomerang does with his namesake projectiles.

Bronze Tiger

If Rocksteady wants to add some martial arts flair to Kill the Justice League, Bronze Tiger could easily fit the bill. A recurring member of Task Force X in the comics, Bronze Tiger is a skilled fighter and tactician who also has the ability to transform into a bi-pedal tiger. He may not be the most popular, but the Suicide Squad is known for uplifting unknowns into the spotlight.

Count Vertigo

Another low-level villain in the DC Comics hierarchy, Count Vertigo has been a frequent member of the Suicide Squad in the past. His power to create a sense of vertigo and disorientation in his opponents is a bit strange, but Rocksteady could find potential in using it as a way to counter enemy attacks.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's DLC characters have a lot of potential, especially if the Killer Croc and Deathstroke leaks are to be believed. Time will tell just how many villains work their way into the game after launch, but there's no denying that Rocksteady has more than enough to choose from.
