Is This Absolute Suicide Squad In Absolute Wonder Woman? (Spoilers)

Is this the Absolute Suicide Squad appearing in Absolute Wonder Woman #12? With a very different membership (Spoilers)

As promised on Bleeding Cool (not once, not twice, but thrice), we got one big Absolute debut in today's Absolute Wonder Woman #12. In her newsletter, Kelly Thompson says "ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #12 is out next week and it is a BIG ONE with not just the debut of an exciting character… but I think, conservatively a tease of FOUR characters. And more than that, in fact. I think it's a big issue for hinting at a lot of what's in our future" Okay, so who, what, when and where?

We've already seen the Absolute Doctor Poison, kept imprisoned by Veronica Cale, the Director of National Security of the US Government, in Area 42. Who is very upset about her wardrobe options. And she might get what she wants…

…just not where she wants it. As we get our first glimpse of Area 41 and Project SS-1. Is this the new Absolute Suicide Squad? It could be…

Another cache of characters is making their Absolute debut, as Thompson promised. Who is in the tanks? Well, from the left, that is Cuca, as created by Joelle Jones for Wonder Girl #1 with Yara Flor, an evil humanoid alligator sorceress from Brazilian legends. In the DC Universe, she was a Brazilian princess, Andira, who became a crocodile deity courtesy of Anhanga, the protective spirit of the forest and god of the underworld, to enact revenge on her sister.

Then there's Giganta, a classic Wonder Woman villain from the golden age, who recently popped up in the Tom King/Daniel Sampere run, Doris Zuel as her magnifying screen reads, as she seems relatively small instead of rather large here. No news on the tank full of notes pinned to the walls. And is that an Absolute Nina Mazursky of S.H.A.D.E. and the Creature Commandoes? And while we have already met an Absolute Barbara Minerva elsewhere, that does look like Cheetah's tail… and, of course, there is the Absolute Hannibal Lecter Zatanna…  Absolute Wonder Woman #12 is published by DC Comics today.
