I recently read Infinite Crisis, and in one scene, Chemo says gg just before being thrown out of a plane and literally destroying the city of Nightwing, dying as well. Chemo's last words were Gg. Chemo is a true gamer. be like chemo
F.A.Q. • What about Daniel West?: He lost a LOT of speed before joining the Squad. He literally blew out his knee just trying to run. • What about Polka Dot Man?: He wasn't on the Squad in the comics.
True story: King Shark is a shark, and Solomon Grundy was born on a Monday. Also, there's a nice reference to the actual strongest DC character at 14:58.
With the release of Venom: Let There Be Carnage could we have a video on the Klyntar? This thought came to me cause they can do a lot of things people don’t talk about, like being able to fuse into a new Symbiote with Hybrid, or how they can take powers from their hosts (like if they attached to electro would they get electrokinesis?)
Galaxy-Brain Idea: James Gunn will guest-star as himself in the next Suicide Squad movie. There will be no explanation for his presence and he will die in the first five minutes.
About characters in comics breaking the fourth wall: Over at Marvel She-Hulk was already breaking that thing in the 70's, so Deadpool wasn't even their first character to do that.
So did She-Hulk or Ambush Bug come first with the whole fourth wall breaking comedy bit? As far as I can tell it was Jennifer but I wouldn’t mind second opinions!
Looks like Ambush Bug was created in Dec. 1982, and She-Hulk was created in Feb. 1980. She-Hulk didn't start breaking the fourth wall until John Byrne's run in 1989 (Sensational She-Hulk). Ambush Bug has few appearances when he's first created, but his first two issues that he appears in have no fourth wall breaks; it's not until his third appearance, Action Comics #560 in Oct. 1984, that he mentions the writer of the comic by last name (Giffen). So, Ambush Bug was created later, but he broke the fourth wall first. However, She-Hulk's breaking of the fourth wall is more iconic and better-written.
@@nathancarter8239 I have runs of both She Hulk and Ambush Bug. I'm not sure I can agree with "better written". They were written with different intent. She Hulk was a fourth wall breaker within a relatively serious narrative. Ambush Bug was the outsider pointing out the absurdity of his world (Meepo, anyone?). There was almost no narrative intent. Different kinds of stories.
Who will be the next strongest Suicide Squad member... You... YOU will be the next strongest! (Not me, the last West who was kept having horrible leg injuries)
13:36 He's sort of like when Arale from Dr. Slump was brought into Dragon Ball Super lol. Well, aside from the fact that Vegeta quickly realized what was going on himself, pointing out several times that she's a comedy manga character. Wasn't the best-written episode... (didn't help that Goku completely forgot that he and Arale met in the General Blue saga of the original Dragon Ball)
4:09 Ah yes I remember this ahole from Superman vs the Elite and CW Supergirl. Though he didn't really have powers of his own in the later, aside from somehow turning J'onn's one-way telepathy into a two-way communication. Instead he used a Legion Flight Ring and a powerful magical Martian artifact called the Staff of H'ronmeer.
I remember back in 2016-2017 when I first saw Zod cut his head open with his laser eyes to take the bomb out of his brain. It was so cool and so metal.
I absolutely love the fact that Amanda Waller had to literally PAY Lobo to be on the suicide squad which also means that he’s the only member on the team who is “technically” a free man with the actual salary amongst a whole roster full of supervillain convicts!!🤣👌
As someone also annoyed by Deadpool, I'd like to share a character from Marvel whom I like, who has a comedy shtick but is actually funny: Slapstick, basically a living clown. He had two very short series that I quite liked, and in between he was also on some team comics (buthey'renotverygoodsodon'treadthem).
@Comic Drake btw Manchester Black didn't block probes from Martian Manhunter, he had Lex Luthor dodge them. This is actually shown to be through erasing Lexs memory of the event in question in a different comic. So Manchester neeve actually blocked Manhunter, just evaded the probe by eleimating the information the probe was looking for. Superman later confirmed that he believes Martian Manhunter's telepathy capable of blocking out Manchester.
THANK YOU thank you thank you! for pointing out Ambush Bug's precedence as the fourth wall breaking comment character. I have said for years and years that Deadpool is the spiritual descendant of Ambush Bug, not Deathstroke. DP's name and occupation may be Wade Wilson homages, but his zeitgeist is 100% Irwin Schwab.
I hope you do the weirdest members of the Suicide Squad in the future (especially with the Banana Split being a part of the squad, i'm not making that one up)
I swear in the comics that every Killer Frosts are all heat vampire and not just Catlin Snow, especially Louise Lincoln who was thrown into the sun and was able to not only survive it, but literally enjoy it due to the heat and even Firestorm states that Louise Lincoln could destroy the sun.
Wow I learned a lot from this video. Like I thought Manchester black was originally made for the direct to DVD movie cuz I could never find any comics about him aside from that one superman rebirth comic where he becomes a cow. I also didn’t know about match or that much about parasite.
With the laws of thermodynamics, I'm pretty sure the very nature of kinetic energy is the only reason Captain Cold is even remotely a match for The Flash, even after the Speed Force became a thing. I'm not really awake enough to wrap my head around the fine details though...
This was an impressive vid (god reading all those comics ugh) but i have one who should have been there, one extra, one teeensy lil ad and thats the goat himself Black Adam. Like dude took one the whole jsa/jla once hes serious business and hes in here, 12:48, Hes right there. xD Anyway outside of that little thing i enjoyed this vid keep em coming Drake :)
In terms of being effective. Captain cold. The flash comics show he just did mission after mission with almost no sleep and most of the time was the only survivor
That Parasite dude would make a killer villain in a Superman film. Maybe it'll be like Spiderman3's Sandman but with radioactive blob monster experiment
at this point, a list of the most unlikely survivors list for the team, like the characters that despite being the least expected to survive, managed to
I'm still pretty new myself, but any comic, really. Find a hero you like and go from there. I started with The Flash and Suicide Squad. Eventually you'll see a cameo of another character and be like "wow, they're cool. I wanna read more about them" and pick something up about them.
Pick a character and then search up their best comics/easiest comics for beginners to get into. I started with Batman: Year One and just went from there!
If you’re into suicide squad specifically, I’d say ostranders run is a great place to start. If your just taking about comics In general, it’s really up to you
Go to your public library. They almost certainly have trade paperbacks, which tend to collect the more iconic stories. Thumb though a few to find things that appeal to you. Easiest and least expensive way to dip your toe into the pool, er ocean.
Isn’t Caitlin Snow the only Heroic version of Killer Frost unlike the other first 2? Did they just turn her into a villain because of the Suicide Squad?
Ok what about Red X? Idk if he won but he came the closest to actually destroying everything Amanda Waller has built so that makes him powerful in some way or another Yo I didn’t know black manta was in the Suicide Squad, he’s awesome
Idk but for the past years or so the suicide squad has become my favorite team of all of dc as of recent for I mostly like the new 52 run to their rebirth run as well
I think it’s the 4-star Dragon Ball. He also has the Ouroboros mark from FMA in column 2, between the Lantern logo and Wonder Woman. Comic Drake, with a splash of manga for good measure.
Although a Superman villain only suicide squad sounds cool, it implies that Manchester black and Zod somehow got the bomb in brain treatment. How do you put a implant that kills you into people with literal invincible brains? Even if Zod is on kryptonite he’s still super strong
@@RickReasonnz I think they're asking how strong the bombs would have to be to harm Zod once implanted, since Kryptonians' invulnerability isn't skin-deep. Yeah, you cut into him with Kryptonite and implant the bomb...which, when triggered, presumably gives Zod a mild headache. Unless it's a Kryptonite bomb? It's also strange to me that the bomb isn't tripped by Zod's attempt to remove it. I haven't read the comic, but I assume it's addressed there? Idk. I also wondered how you "kidnap" a telepath as strong as Manchester Black. Again, I assume it's addressed in the comic.
Wait, if Killer Frost creates ice by absorbing heat... Then shouldn't she become less.... icey, the more she absorbs? Why does draining Superman and all his vast energy cause her to create more cold? I would have thought that her draining Superman would lead to her skin turning more human and her actually not being able to create ice at all, because she is already 'full'.

You're the reason why I started reading comics again 😊
Can u give a link to all the issues or where u found them
tthe one time polka dot man was in the squad was in injustice and he was deemed so weak he was killed instantly by jason lmaoo
Isn't it pronounced Chem O like Chemical but with an O?
@@DarkZeroNova I don't. I pronounce it Key-mo as in Chemotherapy.
Detail about the Zod bit: the Squad actually spent an entire issue breaking into Lexcorp to get the Kryptonite needed for Zod’s brain bomb.
True story: King Shark is a shark, and Solomon Grundy was born on a Monday.
Also, there's a nice reference to the actual strongest DC character at 14:58.

Went to the comments looking for El Diblo and was not disappointed.
I’d defo say Mongul needs a mention too as although he is just big punching dude he is still an interacting and damn powerful character
About characters in comics breaking the fourth wall: Over at Marvel She-Hulk was already breaking that thing in the 70's, so Deadpool wasn't even their first character to do that.
And she Hulk's way to break the fourth wall was better in My opinion
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't she-hulk start breaking the 4th wall during John Byrne's run back in the 80s?
@@mikejohnson1765 You're right, I thought it was earlier, my bad.
@@Panthror it's cool, man.
No love for my boy Howard the Duck doing it before either?
I'm reading the 2021 Suicide Squad now. Legit thought Match was some Superboy made with Bizarro's DNA when I saw him break down.

Damn glad you brought up Parasite. Ever since I rewatched Superman the Animated Series a while back, he's definitely started to grow on me
Like a parasite
Pretty cool vid, it does say "El Diblo" tho
There are some Superman villains that need some love. Just a new spin or development on these guys, like Batman’s rogue gallery regularly gets.
For a second I really thought today's sponsor was geology, the science of studying minerals

Everyone should definitely watch Manchester Black in the animated movie Superman vs The Elite. I think its better than the live action Superman films

The bomb wouldn't do anything anyway.
Ambush bug needs more attention, I always thought he’s costume was kindve cool
10:25 Sounds like a better story than Batman: Shadow of the Bat #56 with its cannabinoid Flornic Man at least.

Great video Drake! As always, the hard work you put into your videos is very evident!

great video I didn't know about most of these ambush bug? if you hadn't shown panels I would have said you made that up
Actually ghost rider gets his power from an angel of justice
It's ME! I am the strongest Suicide Squad member!
Keep it up on your work and this channel
You should talk about Radiant Black again! So much has happened in the series since since you last covered it
Hey Drake, do you know how the JLA with Killer Frost on it was? I never hear anyone talk about it.
I swear in the comics that every Killer Frosts are all heat vampire and not just Catlin Snow, especially Louise Lincoln who was thrown into the sun and was able to not only survive it, but literally enjoy it due to the heat and even Firestorm states that Louise Lincoln could destroy the sun.

i didn’t know that diablo could resurrect himself hopefully he will come back next film?

Grant Morrison really said 'If DC won't create enough gender-defying characters in their comics, I'll just add myself.' Good for them, hell yea.
Is that ambush bug as captain boomerang
Can u give a link to these comics or where u got them drake pls
If you want to see something about Manchester Black, watch Superman Vs The Elite
Parasite can be a major threat. Such a underrated villain
