I thought he was still floating around, first as a member of the Squad when 
they went up against Superboy mk. 2, and then as one of the escapees during 
the whole Gotham/earthquake thing.  However, I'll concede I haven't kept up 
on recent history much.

Actually, the whole Suicide Squad thing strikes me as a very BNW-esque 
concept.  For those not familiar with it, it involved the U.s. government 
taking psychologically damaged heroes, and non-psychopathic villains, and 
using them on "suicide missions" for the government.  The villains were kept 
in line with exploding bracelets, and the promise of an eventual pardon if 
they completed the mission.  The heroes were at the lower-end of the DC 
Heroes scale.  One wonders if Matt was familiar with the series.

Oh, and on their first mission, they had Plastique as a member, who was also 
(eventually) a Bomber-type DC character.
