Amanda Waller

Amanda Waller is a powerful political figure who has been involved with several espionage and law enforcement agencies. Her nickname is "The Wall" for how aggressive and stubborn she is to deal with.

A high-level government bureaucrat with an almost completely classified record, Amanda Waller is the ruthless creator and director of Task Force X - better known as the Suicide Squad.

Little is known about Amanda Waller's personal history. Raised by her grandmother who turned her out of her home when Amanda was a teenager, she at some point joined the United States Army, where she acquitted herself well as a soldier. She was assigned to Team 7, a black ops unit which met with a disastrous end, and briefly retired. Following a final mission in which all other agents, including a close childhood friend, died in defence of American interests she formulated a plan to create a black ops team composed entirely of expendable members, primarily super-villains. She was placed in charge of the newly-created Task Force X, otherwise known as the Suicide Squad.

Amanda Waller has no known superhuman powers or abilities. She is very intelligent and manipulative, with a keen tactical skill and leadership ability. As a former soldier she has received extensive training in armed and unarmed combat. She is also trained in espionage.
