12. Sameer: Blackhawk

DC Comics Blackhawks Leader

Though Steve Trevor's special team aren't really drawn from the comics, they're important supporting players and they help sell the idea of the multicultural stakes in Diana and Steve's mission.

But it seems that Saïd Taghmaoui - who plays Sameer - actually has a link to the Blackhawks from the comics who were important characters in years gone by. They were created in World War II as a means to fight the Axis Powers, and Sameer is one of their number, as confirmed by Taghmaoui, who revealed he's based specifically on Andre Blanc-Dumont.

Now, if we can just get a period-set Blackhawks movie, we'll be all set.
