Suicide Squad: 28 WTF Moments

26. The Accidental Marvel Character Cameo

Joker's gang's costumes are great - to the point that I'd quite happily watch a straighter heist movie starring them and directed by Ben Affleck (possibly with the Joker on some calming medicine though). There's a cheeky Batman in there, a horrifying baby-headed man and a Panda: it's all great.

But surely someone in the Comic Book Expert Consultant department (because all of these films made "not for critics" MUST have one, right?) must have noticed that they accidentally put a cosplay of a Marvel character in there?

The eye-ball headed guy in red couldn't look any more like Ghost Rider villain Orb if he tried. Yes, the ruffled shirt has been replaced by a boiler suit, but it's incredibly distracting for anyone even remotely familiar with the character.
