welcome to watchmojo.com and today we
will explore the comic book origin of
suicide squads Amanda Waller we’ve got
business Waller as with most comic book
characters they’re often reimagining and
different versions to a character’s past
we’ve chosen to primarily follow the
storyline which unfolded in 1987 secret
origins number 14 which was expanded
upon in 2011 Suicide Squad number 0 and
2012 team 7 number 0 the wall as Amanda
Waller is frequently called doesn’t
possess metahuman powers what she does
possess is steely ruthless determination
and a willingness to do anything
necessary to achieve her desired ends if
that means a few lives get sacrificed in
the process well so be it greater good
am i right I heard with loss plastic yes
ma’am
you’ll have my full report bio 800 right
that’ll be all
Waller first appeared in 1986 as an
integral part of DC’s legends miniseries
a government official with military ties
she put together the second iteration of
the Suicide Squad
I’m Amanda Waller I’m here to
indoctrinate you convicts into our
Special Forces codenamed Task Force X
this group was made up of a mixture of
heroes and villains with the ladder
tending to outnumber the former the
villains were given the opportunity to
have their sentences commuted after
their time with this one provided they
survived and to ensure that they didn’t
try any funny business the members were
fitted with explosives that would
detonate if they tried to go AWOL
anyone else the origin of Waller was
told in 1987 as part of the official
origin of the Suicide Squad in secret
origins vol 2 number 14 Waller was
appearing before the President of the
United States to justify the squad’s
existence after telling a retcon story
about the first Suicide Squad which
started in World War two Waller told the
president her story Waller had lived in
Chicago’s tough cabrini-green section
she and her husband were poor but
hard-working they raised a family of
five children trying to keep them on the
straight and narrow as they strove to
get out of their bad neighborhood there
would be no happy ending however after
thugs gunned down to their oldest son
and their oldest daughter was brutally
murdered shortly afterwards when the
cops couldn’t do anything about this
while her husband sought justice on his
own and died in the process Waller made
a vow to help the rest of her family
escape the madness of her neighborhood
she made sure her children got through
college then she got her own college
education after graduation she became
the campaign manager for an idealistic
congressional candidate and she put him
in office I’m sorry miss Waller no one’s
allowed mr. president the whole
country’s in a state of panic and
they’re ready to take you out behind a
barn and
after his successful election Waller
served as his aide she came upon a file
about the old Suicide Squad and she
realized that this was something that
could be useful to the current
administration a covert team that could
take on sensitive and dangerous missions
and the swaller gave birth to the new
Suicide Squad in her original
incarnation Amanda Waller was a
physically imposing woman and one who
took new gruff from anyone when the new
52 project was adopted in 2011 readers
were introduced to a Waller that was
physically very different not a great
deal is known about the new Wohlers
early history but she did come to the
job from a different background when
metahumans first started appearing in
the new DC Universe the government put
together a special unit called Team 7 to
handle them Amanda Waller was an NSA
analyst working with the Army when she
was recruited to be part of this new
team something happened during her time
with Team 7 that soured Waller on her
activities she went AWOL but was found
in Malaysia by an old friend and
colleague named Durham Duren needed help
stopping villain by the name of Regulus
who they thought was going to blow up a
nearby village in fact Regulus was
actually detonating a bomb that was
intended to create metahumans that he
could control himself instead it caused
horrible deformities and mutations among
those continents blast including Durham
Waller had no choice but to shoot her
friend to put him out of his misery
after witnessing this Waller approached
the government with the idea of forming
the Suicide Squad essentially so that
good people like her comrade Doran
wouldn’t have to be sacrificed anymore
want to assemble a task force of the
most dangerous people on the planet who
I think can do some good
they’re bad guys exactly Amanda Waller
has proven to be a very popular
character despite the fact that she’s
often as much of an antagonist of
superheroes as she is an ally her
ruthlessness and duplicity make her
someone who really can’t be trusted and
she has often been an enemy of the
metahumans yet she’s still a fascinating
character one who has made memorable
appearances outside of the comic book
pages I’m done with waiting somebody’s
got to do something about this are you a
fan of the manipulative and callous
Amanda Waller for morons firing comic
