The modern Suicide Squad (created by John
Ostrander in the aforementioned Legends #3) is an antihero team
of incarcerated supervillains who act as deniable assets for the United States government,
undertaking high-risk black
ops missions in exchange for commuted prison
sentences. The group operates out of Belle Reve
Penitentiary, under the directorship of Dr.
Amanda Waller. Thus, the Suicide Squad's existence helps to explain why many
convicted villains in the D.C. Universe roam free without having heroes
tracking them down—until they, inevitably, attempt or commit another crime.
