Suicide Squad
One of theSuicide Squad’sdeadliest members has a hole-and-corner weakness : Harley Quinn!The Thinker , played by Peter Capaldi in 2021’sThe Suicide Squad , is a master manipulator , using his vast intellect to manoeuver citizenry like bit on a chess board , but as date in 2014’sSuicide Squad # 25 , he can not report for the helter-skelter nature of histeammate Harley Quinn , making her his primary impuissance .
There have been multiple incarnations of the Thinker , stretch back to comics ’ Golden Age . The first Thinker was a baddie of Jay Garrick , the first Flash , who used a exceptional twist call “ the Thinking Cap ” to advance his genial powers . A later variation , Cliff Carmichael , used a variant of the Thinking Cap to terrify Firestorm ; this would be the first avatar tojoin the Suicide Squad . Still another edition was introduce during the New 52 era . Far more insensate than his herald , this Modern Thinker has a fantastic version of the Thinking Cap , with metal prongs stick out of his brain ; this version also served as the model for Peter Capaldi ’s depiction of the part inThe Suicide Squad . However , in the comedian , this Thinker was not a member of the team , and instead antagonize them during the crossover eventForever Evil , which view the Crime Syndicate of America overrun Earth . The Thinker wassail his allegiance to the Syndicate , which led to a face-off with the Suicide Squad . The issue was write by Matt Kindt and illustrate by Patrick Zircher .

As a side effect of his intellect , the Thinker ’s trunk is aging prematurely , and now he need to steal OMAC ’s trunk for himself . The Thinker rig a group of heroes , including Power Girl , Steel , and Unknown Soldier , into fighting Harley Quinn and the ease of the Suicide Squad . While the battle blossom forth as he design , the Thinker reveals that he see Harley riveting , because while he can on the nose call everyone else ’s move , Harley Quinn eludes him . Ironically , the Thinker actually like this , as he rarely ever feels awe of the strange . Harley is a wild card in his eye , and even though he relishes it , he still feels it inexpedient to trust her .
villain like the Thinker pride themselves on their cold-blooded intellect , or their ability to predict the actions of others . Harley Quinn , who is chaospersonified , is a blind patch for the Thinker , potentially throw a imp wrench into his architectural plan . While this was a small-scale secret plan point in the issue , it has ramifications for the Thinker moving onward . Should he reemerge , the Thinker will have to avoid Harley Quinn , as she could seriously disrupt any schema he might dream up . Furthermore , how might the Thinker come against other such “ madcap ” characters , such as Harley ’s ex-wife The Joker , or the fourth - wall - breaking Ambush Bug ? Each of these could also circumvent any plans the Thinker hatch .
Harley Quinn’schaotic nature has made her one of comics ’ most popular characters , but it also is a serious weakness for theSuicide Squad’sthe Thinker .
