For the most part, the Suicide Squad is an all around villain-fest, but some of the greatest members have actually been heroes! Heroes have regularly joined the ranks over the years to assist the team with missions involving direct conflicts with either America, or the Justice League. Often times, the heroes that are recruited have ties to the government or very specific abilities that could aid in a certain mission. Some examples of government influenced roster additions have been Sergeant Steel, Unknown Soldier, and Power Girl.
Perhaps the most notable and important hero squad member was Barbara Gordon as The Oracle. After Barbara was paralyzed from the waist down by The Joker, she couldn’t maintain her spot as Batgirl. This is why she then put her hacking skills to use by becoming The Oracle. She would often run the technical sides of ops for the squad, allowing them access to servers and buildings. She remained on the team for some time, but later moved on to aid Batman in his crusade once again. Her time on the squad was not only a great shake-up, but her contributions were invaluable.

Most people know Deadpool for constantly breaking the fourth wall and talking directly to the readers (or even the writers and illustrators).

In fact, there have been several times in which Deadpool has addressed the existence of the fourth wall as something emotionally crushing. As we see in Deadpool Kills The Marvel Universe and Deadpool Roasts The Marvel Universe, Wade is unbelievably depressed by the weight of knowing that he exists only as a means of entertainment for all of us.
