Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, is known for chaotic behavior that more often than not somehow yields amazingly effective results — something proven true in one of her latest adventures where she uncovers Superman’s secret identity in the sickest way possible.

Due to the severity of the situation, and the potential weaponization of whatever killed the Man of Steel, Amanda Waller calls in the Suicide Squad to bring this creature down in this out-of-continuity Black Label miniseries.
