From the horribly beautiful mind of writer/director James Gunn and including an all-star cast, The Suicide Squad has been getting rave reviews and is currently DC’s highest-rated film – with an astonishing 96% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Releasing in South African cinemas this Friday, The Suicide Squad is one of this year’s most highly anticipated (anti)hero films, so what better time to celebrate than with a giveaway?

Pfangirl.com, together with Empire Entertainment, has five The Suicide Squad hampers to hand out to our readers. All you have to do is comment below with which two Suicide Squad members you’d want by your side for a risky mission, and you’ll be entered in the draw.

All set? Then let’s meet The Suicide Squad so you can make your choice:

Bloodsport is a world-class marksman specializing in brutality—his hands, and anything he wields with them, are deadly weapons.  Trained by his mercenary father from the moment he was born, this hardened criminal has but one soft spot…which, of course, Amanda Waller uses to persuade (i.e. blackmail) him to join the Squad.
Harley Quinn, re-incarcerated for making a cash withdrawal with her car, buys her freedom once more by joining the Squad.  This colorful, cheeky, cheerful psychotic still has all her deadly dynamic moves, and the single-and-ready-to-mingle rogue is as eager as ever to show them off…much to Amanda Waller’s dismay.  But Harley, in her signature, ladylike style, isn’t afraid to manhandle anyone who comes her way.
Colonel Rick Flag, a career military man whose ongoing assignment keeps him in harm’s way—and in Amanda Waller’s good graces—returns to keep tabs on the Squad and keep as many of them in line as he can until the mission is complete.
Like his weapon of choice would imply, the devilishly handsome, Tasmanian devil-may-care  Captain Boomerang is back for another death-inducing mission, courtesy of his continuing bad behavior and Amanda Waller’s ongoing need for expendable Super-Villains.
A brute in black armor,  Blackguard regularly employed his super strength to wield an energy mace and shield…before being thrown into Belle Reve prison, where Amanda Waller recruits him for the Squad.
Daughter of the Ruler of Warworld, Mongul the Elder, Mongal is a malevolent, muscular alien with orange skin who doesn’t play well with others.
Blond, brawny and exceedingly handsome (especially if you ask him), Javelin is the most classically attired Squad member, wearing form-flattering tights-and-mask suit of blue and yellow that shows all of his muscles to their advantage while—as his name suggests—proudly swinging his weapon of choice: a very impressive, very powerful projectile.
Retrieved from solitary confinement for a position on the Squad, furry, cross-eyed Weasel looks more like a werewolf…or an Afghan Hound. 

His weaselly ways give him great agility in combat, but don’t hire him to babysit your kids.
An expert in weapons and hand-to-hand combat, Savant is muscular, with a shock of long, straight white hair.  Even more shocking are the many scars that cross-hatch his body.  Like most prisoners called to join the Squad, he’d really rather not—but he’ll do anything to get out of the utter boredom of Belle Reve prison.
T.D.K. is broad-shouldered and attired in a teal, black and yellow suit and cowl but, despite his traditional Super-Villain-like appearance, precisely what his super-villainous powers are is as much a mystery to his fellow Squad members as his name—go ahead and ask them; they don’t know.
A huge, hulking specimen with muscles on his muscles, Peacemaker is a world-class marksman—just like his fellow Squad member, Bloodsport, but if you ask him, better.  He’s more than willing to fight, kill, and even start a war, but of course it’s all in the name of keeping the peace.
When she’s not catnapping, Ratcatcher 2 – who learned everything she knows from her dad – is cuddling with her four-legged companion, a rat named Sebastian.  He is just her nearest and dearest of many feral friends who, with just a flick of her jerry-rigged electronic wand, will come out of the woodwork and to her aid.
Dourly dispirited Polka-Dot Man wears his rainbow-pustuled dermis with all the shame of an acne-riddled teen going stag to the prom.  But when he ejects his deadly inter-dimensional polka-dots from his body, he can turn even the smoothest criminal into Swiss cheese.
The enormous King Shark is half-human and half-shark, with a childlike naivete that belies the teeth beneath.  Add to that a bite that far outcries his bark in this genetic experiment gone way awry, who is far more brawn than brains and always in the mood for his next meal, no matter who is on the menu…nom nom.
