Suicide Squad
2016’sSuicide Squad , while a commercial hit , was not met with the critical success that DC had hoped the film would hit . Fans of the prop disliked the scratchy tempo , tonal issues ( stem from a drone house cut the film instead ofthe director , David Ayer , resulting in many deleted scene ) , and the legion plot hole concern logistical issues . But certain elements could have been far spoilt . Had the film adaptedSuicide Squad # 5,written by John Ostrander with art by Luke McDonnell and Bob Lewis and people of color by Carl Gafford , devotee would have leave the theater stunned as to the Squad ’s primary method of stopping theEnchantress .
The Enchantress , appearing early in John Ostrander ’s run , is frequently one of the most powerful villain on the Squad . Armed with a variety of legerdemain - based force , including the power to vanish , misrepresent others and even copy appearances , the Enchantress is a regular hazardous card who is n’t easily controlled . Turning her back into June Moone , her alter eg0 / schism personality is the only surefire method acting to reign in the witch - but when the Enchantress refuses to leave , other - slightly more rude - methods are needed .

In the previous issue in the serial publication , the Suicide Squad undertake a severe mission to the Soviet Union to recollect a Russian dissenter and take out her safely to the United States . Unfortunately , the mission goes terribly wrong - the objective never actuallywantedto move to the US , prefer to do her work in her home country and become a martyr if she must . The Enchantress laughs maniacally and soars into the air , causing loss leader Rick Flagto declare the Enchantress has sound out of control and must be dealt with . Deadshot subsequently shoots her in the psyche .
Deadshot did n’t actuallykillthe Enchantress- he just " wing " her , get her to come down - but this is an fantastically mundane method to control the most powerful fellow member of the Suicide Squad . In the 2016 film , Amanda Waller control the Enchantress through a briefcase in which her heart is store , and threatens to destroy the heart if she develop beyond her control ( she actuallydoesstab the heart subsequently on , but the effort to toss off the Enchantress fails ) . Attacking one ’s heart and soul is hardly an otherworldly method for overcome a scoundrel - she has the same impuissance as all humans , after all - but simply shoot her certainly takes the wind out of her sails .
The Enchantress would only raise in office as the serial continued . Thus , this method of keep in line the magician fall out of favor quickly . Nevertheless , when it comes tothe firstSuicide Squadfilm , Enchantresscould have been defeated in an incredibly anti - climatic fashion .
