Harley Quinn: The Wild Card of Suicide Squad

Initially referred to as Dr. Harleen Quinzel, Harley Quinn began her career at Arkham Asylum as a psychiatrist and was tasked with treating the Joker. But in the end, her obsession with the Joker made her his lover and accomplice, taking on the identity of Harley Quinn.

Harley Quinn is usually portrayed as a complicated person with a difficult history. Her change from Dr. Harleen Quinzel to Harley Quinn represents a plunge into insanity and an acceptance of chaos. Harley is frequently presented as sympathetic even though she has evil tendencies because of her turbulent relationship with the Joker and her need for validation and belonging.

Harley Quinn joins Task Force X, also referred to as the Suicide Squad, in the Suicide Squad television series. The government enlists a group of supervillains in prison called Task Force X to carry out risky operations in return for shorter prison terms. Because of her membership in the Suicide Squad, Harley’s character may now be examined in a new light as she works through the difficulties in her relationships with the other members of the squad and her own moral dilemmas.
