Syowing has made a quickie research and now we have this brief character background on these Suicide characters we see here...

Slipknot - His real name is Christopher Weiss. Formerly working for a chemical company, he develops his formula for the durable ropes that he uses. He became a master at the use of ropes and became an assassin. He is best known as a Firestorm arch-enemy.

Captain Boomerang - (or just "Boomerang") is an arch-enemy for the Flash, who is known for using boomerangs as weapons, usually utilizing altered boomerangs which could produce astonishing effects (some would explode, others had razor-sharp edges, etc.), and using them ruthlessly. Boomerang has a grating personality which caused considerable friction among his teammates, and he was considered to be a dangerous, vicious, cowardly and undependable member of the team—dysfunctional even by the Squad's standards and the equivalent of a class clown. Amanda Waller, the Squad's commanding officer, characterized Captain Boomerang as "a jerk and a screw-up."

Enchantress -  is a powerful sorceress who has the knowledge and ability to wield various types of magical spells. She is a misguided character who is known to be an arch-enemy of Supergirl, the Spectre, and Justice League Dark.

Katana - is a superb martial artist and a fully trained samurai warrior, armed with the sword known as Soultaker which has the ability to capture the soul of every being it kills and communicate with that soul, including that of her deceased husband. She is best known as a superheroine rather than a villain. But in several times, she has indeed battled the likes of Batman.

Rick Flag - Not a super-villain and is actually a government soldier, Flag was tapped by the government to lead the Suicide Squad as formed by Amanda Waller, a role he reluctantly assumed.

Harley Quinn - Dr. Harleen Frances Quinzell, M.D. was an Arkham Asylum psychiatrist who falls for the Joker and becomes his accomplice and on-off sidekick. In later adaptations of Harley Quinn, she is shown to be far more dangerous than how she originated to be.

Deadshot - Floyd Lawton is a hired assassin, regularly boasting to "never miss". He is capable of using a large variety of weapons, but is most frequently portrayed as using a pair of silenced, wrist-mounted guns. His skills as a marksman and his disregard for human life serve to advance the objectives of the Suicide Squad. Probably his most defining trait is a desire to die in a spectacular fashion, this being his primary motivation for joining the Squad. He feels he has no reason to continue living, and, while he does not want to commit suicide, he simply does not care if he dies. Deadshot has a cybernetic eye that grants increased accuracy and provides additional mission and target data. He is known as an arch-enemy of the Batman and Green Arrow.

Killer Croc - of the various incantations of Killer Croc in the DC universe, what is certain is Croc is a brutal wrestler, who has superhuman strength, speed, agility, reflexes, stamina, durability, and senses. He is an expert swimmer who has hardened scale-like skin, razor-sharp claws and teeth, and immunity to toxins. He is best known as a Batman arch-enemy.

El Diablo - The original El Diablo is Lazarus Lane, a bank teller from the 19th century in the American Old West. who is nearly killed by a gang of thieves and put in a coma after being struck by lightning. After being revived by a Native American shaman named "Wise Owl", Lane becomes a vigilante and called himself El Diablo. In present day, Chato Santana is an ex-criminal who after being hospitalized, meets a still living comatose Lazarus Lane and had somehow taken over the name.

Directed by David Ayer, and based on the DC comics, Suicide Squad is about an unlikely squad of super-villains coerced by a shadowy faction of the government to work together and accomplish missions and black operations secretly funded by the government. "Suicide Squad" is set for release August 5, 2016.
