Everybody loves superheroes. Both Marvel and DC Comics have an abundance of characters, ranging from conceptually brilliant figures such as DC Comic’s The Endless to geeky, innocent characters; for example, Marvel’s Squirrel Girl.

Since they are reputedly notorious, the government can deny all associations with the members if discovered. Additionally, Suicide Squad is motivated by bribery. If successful, the members are given better treatment, shorter sentences, and less punishment by wardens in the prison. If they fail or attempt to escape, they die by biologically implanted bombs. Therefore, if judged by morality, the Avengers are leagues above any superhero faction. But if judged by accuracy of human nature, Suicide Squad is verisimilitudinous.

The first on my list of criteria to hit is Characters. Although I know that this was not created by Marvel as a story as a whole, what I really looked for was the cannon aspect; other wise known as how accurate the characters are to the comics.

Lastly she chose the X-Men in the end knowing that was and will be the right choice.
