15 Characters That Nearly Appeared In The Suicide Squad

3. Livewire

Deathstroke Suicide Squad
Warner Bros.

Prankster, Leslie Willis, tried to steal all the electricity in Metropolis by using her own volt-sapping invention. After Superman tried to stop her, she grabbed the device and make a run for it. However, since her gadget was in the middle of absorbing the city's electricity, she received a massive shock and was left in a coma.

When she awoke, Willis discovered she had been transmutated into a being of living electricity. Blaming Superman for her situation, Willis rebranded herself as Livewire and vowed to destroy the Last Son of Krypton.

Even though Livewire has appeared in live-action in Supergirl and Smallville, it's a shame the electrifying supervillain has yet to appear in a film. Even though James Gunn toyed with the idea of including her in The Suicide Squad, she was removed for unspecified reasons.
