OK, now who would be the members of a Marvel version of DC's Suicide Squad if it were up to you?Rules
1. Team must consist of 6 members
2. Team must be composed of villains who'd likely be in jail on Earth at any given time(no one like Thanos or Dr. Doom who don't actually end up in jail)
3. Members of team should be able to function as a group(so no one who's overly hostile towards people in general).
4. Members should be villains who might actually go along with the deal and not try to run at the first opportunity.
Ever read this?

The members of the SS are really nasty people (at least the majority of them), they aren't "super friends". They have to work as a group by necessity, not because they like it. And, damn! they hate people in general. They even hate each other (deadshot and capt. boomerang for example).
4. Members should be villains who might actually go along with the deal and not try to run at the first opportunity.
The members of SS, would try to escape at any given choice. The explosive dispositive they have implanted in their bodies dissuade them to do it.
I was going to say most of this.
Deadshot shot Enchantress, creased her brow. when he was chastised over it just said "she'll live" When she came too she tried to kill him.
Boomerang convinced Slipnot that the bomb thing was bogus so that he could check for himself. Slipnot made a run and his arm blew off. Digger decided to think better.
There are hundreds of other examples.
GABRIEL JONES as Rick Flag
Throwaway military character who now gets a chance to be fleshed out in as the unlikely leader of a new team book.
PSYLOCKE as Katana
Hardcore MA hottie w. her own backstory, she’s there to watch Jones’ back.
WHITE RABBIT as Harley Quinn
Cute, quirky psycho who brings the funny to the team.
CLEA as The Enchantress
The way too powerful to be on this team magic user/big gun.
CROSSBONES as Deadshot
Cool looking shoot ‘em type who gets a chance to do his thing while not fighting his arch enemy.
KANGAROO as Captain Boomerang
Stereotypically designed Australian bad guy sure to become a hit character on the team.
CHANGO as El Diablo
Who? Exactly. But now ppl will at least sort of recognize him from being on the Squad.
DEATH ADDER as Killer Croc
Aside from the name correlation (killer+croc death+adder), he’s not The Lizard, which most ppl would pick.
CENTURIOUS as Slipknot
Obscure Native American character just there to be killed off quickly.
