The Suicide Squad Cast Reveal - Predicting EVERY Character

2. Julio Ruiz - Doctor Light

Up until Identity Crisis (which we'll just ignore for the sake of, well, ignoring it), Doctor Light was a villain played exclusively for laughs. He was a joke character, deployed against the Teen Titans more often than not, and years spent in that role eventually led him to the employ of the Suicide Squad.

In a mission to Apokolips, Light gets shot to death by a bunch of Parademons, soaring to the sky in what readers expected to be the figure's big turning point... only for it to be played ever-so-slightly for laughs and for the character to quite literally get sent to Hell.

Julio Ruiz, like others on the Squad's cast-list, doesn't exactly boast the most extensive filmography. However, he does have a similar beard to Light and it wouldn't be out of the question for Gunn to mimic this particular moment from the comics, given it happened around a similar time to the Ostrander-helmed books the director is said to be taking inspiration from.
