Behind the Scenes

• John Ostrander is the creator and original writer of the Suicide Squad comics. His run on the title has been cited by James Gunn as the main influence for The Suicide Squad.
  • This is both in contrast and accordance with David Ayer's 2016 film, which took inspiration from Ostrander's Nightshade Odyssey storyline for its plot, but with an atmosphere that more resembled the Adam Glass run.
• Doctor Fitzgibbon is named after a personal friend of James Gunn, Larry Fitzgibbon. Gunn includes a character named Fitzgibbon in all of his films, including Slither and Super. Gunn also included a character named Doctor Fitzgibbon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe production Guardians of the Galaxy.
