But if they refuse to carry out an order or attempt to flee, Waller flips a switch and they lose their head. If they accept, a microchip is inserted in their brain and they are set free to complete the mission. In order to receive time off their prison sentences, select criminals from Arkham, Black Gate, and Belle Reve are offered a chance to join Task Force X to do the government’s dirtiest work. ![]() Ruthless and cutthroat, Amanda Waller runs the Task Force X program that is more frequently referred to as the Suicide Squad for its grisly reputation. ![]()
