Suicide Squad: 10 Characters Who Could Steal The Show

6. Tattooed Man

After months of speculation about which character the rapper, Smokin€™ Aces star and Selma songwriter Common would be playing in Suicide Squad, it recently became obvious that he€™s Tattooed Man €“ a villain who boasts the ability to manipulate the tattoos on his body and use them as weapons. He's normally seen fighting Green Lantern in the comics, so it'll be interesting to see if the movie weaves that into his backstory. Some believe that the black sludge that the Squad are seen trying to tackle in the trailers is in fact ink, and therefore the handiwork of Tattooed Man. If this is true, perhaps Common has a far larger role than we expected. Maybe he€™s the big bad that the Squad has to bring down. If this is the case, Warner Bros. and David Ayer will surely have tried very hard to make sure that the filmic Tattooed Man is a truly menacing and fatality-causing foe. In a film full of villains, he€™d need to seriously stand out if he€™s going to be the biggest threat. If they€™ve put enough effort into the script, then, perhaps Tattooed Man will steal the show. He could be the baddie that even the baddies fear. The mass-murderer that has forced the government to put its trust in the "worst of the worst." He must be super scary, right?
