It was always going to be tough for Suicide Squad to balance its pretty sizeable ensemble cast – after all, it had to introduce us to these mostly unfamiliar characters and then make sure we actually liked this bunch of criminals and murderers.

It might seem odd to rank such a low grade villain as El Diablo over a pop culture icon like the Joker but, within the confines of the film, the pyromaniac is actually the more compelling character.

El Diablo stands apart from his Task Force X teammates because he actually repents his previous crimes – which involved accidentally murdering his wife and daughters with his uncontrollable fire powers – and tries to stay out of combat situations. In a Hulk-esque way, Diablo is a man who struggles with anger management issues rather than an outright monster.

Kudos to Jay Hernandez for giving such a committed, moving performance while being in a movie as wacky and uneven as this one. It results in Diablo being one of the film’s best characters – only beaten by Suicide Squad’s core three.
