Amanda Waller first mentions the "Suicide Squad" (Season 2 Episode 12- Tremors) while visiting Ben Turner in Iron Heights prison, stating she needed someone with his "singular qualifications." When he asks her what the team she is recruiting is, she replies that "It's more of a Squad."

When Waller tells him he has to get his team in she introduces a confused John to "Task Force-X" consisting of three of both his enemies and enemies of Arrow, Ben Turner (Bronze Tiger), Mark Scheffer (Shrapnel) and Floyd Lawton (Deadshot.)
