Harley Quinn

*"Recently, I made a promise to myself that the next time I got a boyfriend, I'd be on the lookout for red flags. And if I saw any, I would do the healthy thing and I would murder him. And killing kids? Kind of a red flag. When your taste in men is as bad as mine, they don't just go away quietly. They slash your tires and they kill your dogs and tell you that the music you like ain't real music at all. And all the cruelty... tears you apart after a while."*
―Harley Quinn to Silvio Luna[src]

## Biography

#### Early Life

Harleen Quinzel was born in Canarsie, Brooklyn, New York, the oldest of four children and the only girl. Her interest in criminal psychology grew early in her childhood, and blossomed when she met a boy named Bernie Bash, who turned out to be troubled enough to commit murder as a way to prove his love for her. Despite his crime, Harley later broke into his house and stole a stuffed beaver from his father's taxidermy shop as a memento of their relationship that she would keep with her into adulthood.

She was an Honor Student and a Gymnast. She attended Gotham University and initially went to college for Veterinary and Biological Science, but for some unknown reason she left that field to pursue Psychiatry. She excelled in her field, eventually earning a place as a psychiatrist at a prominent hospital, but her interest in criminal psychology led her to transfer to Gotham City's famed Arkham Asylum. Soon discovering that the other doctors could not penetrate the minds of their patients, Harleen went undercover as a patient herself. The Joker - whom she had thought was misdiagnosed by his previous doctors - saw through her disguise, and opened up to her. Her confidence and savvy in the face of the Joker's madness impressed him. On their tenth session, he revealed to her that he knew about the fact that her father had been killed by a drunk driver who had had the connections required to get off without any punishment. As a gift to her, he presented her with the driver's finger as proof that the man had been brought to justice. He then promised that he could teach her how to become as powerful as he had, by failing to care about life's rules.

Unfortunately, Harleen's supervisor, Dr. Sterano, discovered her crush on the Joker after stealing her psychiatric notes with the intention of publishing them as her own. In a rage, Harleen tried to kill Sterano, but was interrupted by the guards. Rather than surrender, she killed a guard and broke the Joker out of his cell. That night, the Joker took her to the Ace Chemical Processing Plant where his persona had been born, and promised that this would be *her* birthday. Realizing his intention, she had struggled, but he shoved her into one of the chemical vats and watched her sink to the bottom. Afterwards, he drained it and found her inside, alive, but changed. She had lost touch with reality, which meant that she could do whatever she liked. He dubbed her Harley Quinn, and the two of them were together - until he grew tired of her.

Freed of the constraints and strict regiment of her former life, Harley chose a uniform for herself, forming a mosaic of *all* of the people she was or wanted to be. Any guilt for the crimes she committed as Harley Quinn was repressed along with Harleen Quinzel.

### Mission in Corto Maltese

#### Meeting the New Suicide Squad

"*Hey, guys! Sorry I'm late, had to go number two.*"
"*Good to know.*"
—Harley Quinn and Rick Flag[src]
Months later, Harley was recaptured after crashing her vehicle into a bank, and was sent back to Belle Reve, among other crimes of which Quinn was accused, such as vigilantism, extortion, kidnapping, species trafficking, attempted murder and destruction of property. Harley then re-joined Task Force X after agreeing to join again and a new nano-bomb has been implanted. She was assigned as part of a strike team led once again by Rick Flag, containing returning member Captain Boomerang, and all-new members Savant, Weasel, Mongal, Blackguard, Javelin, and the Detachable Kid. She was arranged to help them infiltrate in the country of Corto Maltese, and destroy the Nazi-era prison and laboratory known as Jotunheim and the mysterious and dangerous Project Starfish in the process.

A few days later, the Sheba helicopter prepared to take the squad to the mission, Harley would have been late because she was in the bathroom. Entering with a bag, Quinn greeted Flag and Boomerang, the latter being surprised that Harley was captured again. As she walked, Quinn accidentally hit Savant with her bag. The helicopter finally departed, as she sat next to Javelin and listened to him speak to the other members, Quinn fell in love with Javelin's German accent. When Blackguard thought that Weasel was a dog, Quinn proposed that he was a werewolf, instantly scaring him.

#### Battle on the Corto Maltese Beach

*"You... are the only one... fit to carry my javelin. Carry it for..."*
―Javelin's last words to Harley Quinn[src]
Finally Rick Flag announced the arrival on the island, so Harley Quinn and her companions prepared to land in the water near the coast, Quinn, like the rest of the members, began to swim to the shores. Upon arrival, Quinn got into a hidden position on a stone next to Mongal, so she excitedly prepared to open her bag with a bazooka hoping to use it as soon as given the opportunity.

Blackguard got out of his position betraying the team to give a signal to the Armed Forces of the arrival of the squad, but was instantly killed by them, the soldiers then began to attack the team. Flag would ask Waller to withdraw the squad, however Waller would deny it by telling him that the mission was very important, Harley Quinn then quickly accepted Waller's words and launched a rocket with her bazooka screaming with excitement, but worrying Flag who tried to stop her but failing because she didn't hear him.

Harley then decided to run to another stone risking in the middle of shots and jumping from an explosion, but arriving with success, Rick Flag followed her to the same stone while shooting several soldiers. When Flag ordered T.D.K. Attacking with his arms, Harley was surprised by his strange abilities. Seeing that Pitzner's abilities were useless, Flag began to frustrate, so Mongal tried to help by stopping an Armed Forces helicopter by swinging over it.

However this ended up dying and killing Captain Boomerang when trying to land. Harley Quinn saw scared how the plane killed her friend and screamed by being unable to do anything about it. Things got worse for her strike team which failed with the death of most of her companions, so Harley decided to run to survive into the Maltese jungle, while running Quinn found her partner Gunter Braun about to die on the ground by the shots he recieved.

When approaching, Braun would pronounce his last words to tell Quinn that she would be the one to carry his armed javelin, however Braun died without finishing saying the purpose of the weapon, leaving in doubt Quinn who struck Braun. In that, the soldiers of the Armed Forces arrived to capture Harley Quinn, so Quinn had no choice but to surrender while frustrated at unknowing Braun's final phrase notifying to the soldiers.

#### Love affair with Silvio Luna

*"Harley Quinn's fire and rebellion in the face of American opression is something which my entire country aspires."*
―Silvio Luna to Harley Quinn[src]
After she was captured, Harley was taken to a well leaving her alive because Presidente Silvio Luna had intentions to meet her and manipulate her, the next morning, some soldiers approached Quinn's well who was very angry at the time, the soldiers gave her a red dress to Quinn and asked to put it on. Later after putting it on, she was taken in a limousine to Luna's palace, where some make-up artists were in charge of decorating her, she was surprised since she looked like a princess upon seeing on a mirror.

Upon arrival, an employee received her on behalf of the entire palace staff, Quinn thanked him for the welcome and proceeded to enter the palace accompanied by a guard who brought her shoes. Inside her, she Quinn began to walk until she saw Silvio Luna who had finished showering, Luna welcomed her and revealed that he, along with all other Corto Maltese citizens, viewed her as an anti-American icon and hero. Quinn was confused and flattered, so Luna also revealed that he was infatuated and proceeded to invite her out for a romantic evening, that Quinn acepted.

Quinn and Luna spent an afternoon eating, watching the sunset, and Luna inviting her to meet his birds. At night, Luna proposed to Quinn, who initially thought he was joking, so Luna explained that there were people who considered him a bad leader, making Harley laugh who considered him an excellent person. Luna went on to explain being a romantic, so Quinn accepted the marriage and they quickly began to have intense sex, smashing a shelf containing weapons on display.

After making love, Luna explained how the Nazis created the base for asylum after World War II, later it would be used for experiments where the Starro creature was kept, Luna then said his plans to send all opponents of his government along with their relatives to be eaten by the beast, accidentally revealing his fascist and authoritarian way of governing his people. After hearing the red flags, Harley immediately shot Luna in the heart with an antique gun on display in his bedroom.

She revealed to him that although drastic and over-the-top the reaction was, she couldn't let Luna live as all the men in her life always came back to torment her with their cruelty, Luna would listen as he died as Quinn would kill the next toxic boyfriend she had after her relationship with the Joker. After Luna finished dying on the floor, Harley was immediately detained by the soldiers of the Armed Forces, as a consequence of Luna's demise, the General Mateo Suarez assumed the role of presidente, and slaying the birds of Luna.

Harley Quinn was imprisoned and taken to a torture chamber that night, so that the next day, President Mateo Suarez would arrive and begun to interrogate Harley to get information on the remaining Task Force X members on Corto Maltese, while she was electrocuted. Harley responded ironically to Suarez, making him angry and withdrawing from her place, while tasking the torturer not to lose sight of her. Meanwhile and after having captured Thinker, the second strike team of Task Force X diverted their efforts to rescue Harley Quinn from the palace.

#### Escape from Silvio Luna's palace

*"What are you guys doing?""You. W-we're here to save you.""You were gonna... save me?""It was a really good plan, too."*
―Harley Quinn and Rick Flag[src]
While Harley pretended to be fainted, the torturer distracted by sending a message on his phone, so Harley took the opportunity to murder him with her legs, gasping his breath, and breaking his neck. Harley would then grab the torturer's body keys with her feet and take them to the padlock where she would open it. Upon breaking free, she would grab a pair of boots and a gun off a table; with the gun, she went out to the doors of the torture chamber killing all the guards who were surprised to see her, Harley grabbed a gun from the guards on the ground and continue on her way.

Harley then came to a room that joined many doors, in this many wars began to appear that Harley began to shoot while turning to avoid them, once they were all attended, Harley would run out of ammunition leaving the guns on the floor and running to a door. Quinn began by knocking out a soldier with his head while kicking some bars that had guards breaking their arms. Then a guard with a knife would arrive to attack Harley.

Harley would tear off part of her dress to hang it and throw it on top of another soldier, another soldier with a knife would arrive to try to kill her, but Harley would dodge with a fence, with which she would start hitting him when approached. More soldiers with knives would arrive, so Harley would snatch one from them, and she would start stabbing them. Having killed them all, Quinn withdrew from the room.

Harley then grabbed two rifles from the ground, with which she would start walking to the exit, shooting scared soldiers who tried to evade her, while she began to imagine blood as colored roses. Suddenly, Harley Quinn was amazed to see the weaponized javelin that she had given Gunter Braun before dying, for which she began to use it to kill all the soldiers who tried to shoot her. Finally, Quinn opened an exit door through which she escaped.

When leaving, Harley called a taxi that was passing by on the street, when entering the taxi driver he would ask her where to go, however Quinn would see Rick Flag with a partner crossing the street, so she confused. The squad began a rescue mission led by Flag to rescue Harley. Then Quinn surprised them by approaching Flag to ask what they were doing, so Flag surprised saying that they were about to rescue her, Quinn proposed to go back and let them rescue her, but Bloodsport said that she was co-descendant.

Harley happily hugged Flag since missing him, then Harley Quinn and Bloodsport would introduce themselves with a handshake. Now leading a second Squad strike team consisting of Bloodsport, the Peacemaker, Ratcatcher 2, King Shark, and Polka-Dot Man, all leading a mission to rescue her. Still under orders from Waller, Harley joined the group on their mission to destroy Project Starfish, aided by their captured enemy, the Thinker.

The team then took Thinker over a building where they explained their mission and how they should help them enter Jotunheim, Flag and Bloodsport began to threaten Thinker about how he would die if he didn't help them, in that Harley began to threaten to die if he had license plates If your clothes didn't match or you coughed without covering your mouth. Flag interrupted her saying that this wasn't part of the mission. After the talk, the team set out on their journey to Jotunheim.

#### Destruction of Jotunheim

*"I don't think so. I think I would have noticed if a guy named Milton's been with us."*
―Harley Quinn to Polka-Dot Man[src]
The team forced Thinker to drive them to Jotunheim by using Milton's truck pretending to go to work, while Harley and the rest hid inside, the soldiers let Thinker in and he parked. Going down, Quinn observed a rain that she liked for looking like angels that ejaculated on top of them, the squad then proceeded to walk towards the entrance taking advantage of the rain so that they would not see them, while Harley ate an apple and looked at Flag happily.

Her teammates took it upon themselves to kill the guards at the entrance, while Harley and the rest hurried inside. Harley and her team split up into teams with Bloodsport, Polka-Dot Man, and King Shark to place bombs around a military building, while having to face some guards. Harley like the rest of her teammates carried bags with explosives and went to the second floor to implant them, however, seeing that more troops were approaching through a window, the team began to rush into a room.

At that, some soldiers began to attack scaring Harley and Bloodsport, however Abner Krill stopped them, a scared Krill began to cry for the death of Milton, however Harley got her memory refreshed about Milton since she didn't remember it at all making Krill angry who showed her the corpse, when seeing it Quinn remembered while laughing at the name Milton.

When Harley and the team get up from their hiding spots, more guards showed up. Polka-Dot Man threw some moles, but Harley Quinn screamed for the explosives but it was too late, Krill's moles touched the explosives causing a massive explosion in chain. Once the bombs get detonated accidently, Harley saves Polka-Dot Man from the explosion, and the others swim and try to make it out. The soldiers tried to shoot Bloodsport who was about to fall but Harley helped him.

Seeing that the floor where the squad was about to fall on them, the soldiers began to escape, while Quinn, Krill and DuBois ran to the top to survive, jumping to grab some rubble, Harley and Polka-Dot Man saw Bloodsport fall who was barely holding onto a hook, but surviving by falling. After going down too After going down also but in a safer way, Harley and Polka-Dot Man meet up with Bloodsport, Ratcatcher 2, and King Shark.

Bloodsport just stopped Peacemaker who killed Coronel Rick Flag and tried to kill Cazo, while Cleo Cazo alerted to escape due to the liberation of Starro, the creature arises destroying the Jotunheim base completely while the remaining squad members run, Harley Quinn was running to survive but tripped over a debris falling to the ground, where she saw Starro emerge while being surprised by its size.

#### Battle of Valle Del Mar

*"I know why I'm carrying the javelin for."*
―Harley Quinn[src]
Starro began to spread spores that began to control the Armed Forces soldiers, after Cazo warned the team to cover their faces, Harley tries to cover her face to avoid being controlled by the starfish. After surviving, Harley realized that a soldier with the spore got up, confused she warned her companions while protecting herself with the javelin. At that, all the soldiers began to get up so Harley and the team prepared to attack.

However, after Starro warned that the city of Corto Maltese belongs to it by using the corpse of Mateo Suarez, Harley and the team watched as Starro proceeded to attack Valle Del Mar. At that Amanda Waller contacted the squad after regaining communication. When the team asked Waller to defend the city, she replied that it was not a problem as Project Starfish records linking the United States government, along with the Jotunheim base, had been destroyed.

The squad prepared to retreat, however Bloodsport revealed himself to save the city, when King Shark and Ratcatcher 2 followed him, Harley follows with the others after realizing what she has the javelin for, finally Krill followed Quinn, and happily Harley headed on to save the city from Starro. Because the team did not heed Waller's threats, she was about to explode the nano-bombs, starting with Bloodsport, however she was knocked out by her companions who prepared to guide the squad.

Harley and the team then ran to the street where Starro was, then Quinn protected herself with the javelin while Bloodsport shot Starro, seeing that Starro was approaching, the squad began to fall back. Later, Harley was asked to get the higher ground from Bloodsport, she then climbed on top of a roof until King Shark got slammed by Starro into a building close where she was on, start to run for survival but the destruction caused her to fall down, Harley falled to the ground but surviving.

After Ratcatcher 2 sends in swarms of rats using her rat communicator, Harley raised on a building again and rushed towards Starro jumping and managing to stab him in the eye by sticking her javelin. Harley's breach into Starro's eye allows Ratchatcher's rats entry and they immediately swim to eat away at the eye's veins and lens, exposing the optic nerve.

Upon entering, Harley was left bewildered by her surroundings. In that, several rats also swam into the eye to bite his veins that began to spread blood, Quinn looked happily at the nature of the rats that killed Starro while a large amount of blood began to spread inside the eye. Once Starro falled on the ground dying, Harley emerged from the eye and gave Bloodsport a thumbs up hinting that the mission was successful.

Harley soon after heard how Bloodsport contacted Waller to strike up an agreement for the freedom of the team once back in the US despite having disobeyed her, having using the drive Flag stole of Project Starfish as blackmail. After seeing that King Shark also survived, DuBois and Harley had a talk about Bloodsport’s name being Milton and how they both were friends with Flag, as Harley tried to be Bloodsport’s friend due to him not having many.

Harley was shocked that Bloodsport's name wasn't Milton after all the conversations about that name as they walked along with the rest of the squad, finally the team saw that the Sheba helicopter was coming back to the squad's rescue from Corto Maltese. Harley, Bloodsport, Ratcatcher 2, and King Shark very tired boarded the helicopter back to America. On the trip, Harley slept from exhaustion after happily seeing Bloodsport, now as a free woman again.

## Personality

Even after having a traumatized childhood, Harleen Frances Quinzel was supposedly once a highly intelligent, calm, and compassionate young lady who worked at Arkham Asylum, but it was really in college where her darker side began to manifest, ultimately causing him to kill for her as well as lose his life in the process. Through the shock therapy and the Joker's manipulation, her mind and emotions were twisted to the point where she transformed into a person barely recognizable from the woman she once was, fracturing her psyche and causing intense psychological trauma. Thus resulting in her severe mental instability, becoming a homicidal, sadistic, childlike, and somewhat psychopathic villain, who would use sexuality and her playful personality to achieve her goals or to entertain herself, usually harming others in the process. She followed the Joker in whatever he demanded of her, blindly smitten with the ruthless psychopath, affectionately referring to him as "puddin'," prior to their final breakup. She also demonstrates a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome, as she was unable to see through the Joker's abuse and genuinely believed it was the Joker's way of showing love. After the end of the relationship and her emancipation, her Stockholm Syndrome disappeared completely, not only being able to perceive the abuses, but she also starts to hate the Joker and be more careful before relating to someone.

After realizing that her relationship with the Joker was extremely toxic, Harley Quinn is shown to be severely traumatized by the Joker's abuse, so much so that as soon as she notices Silvio Luna's troubled personality, her first action is to kill him while remembering her previous relationship with extreme suffering and hatred.

Harley carries almost an innocent persona, wide-eyed and bright, finding humor in otherwise dark situations, much like Joker himself. After attacking Belle Reve guards and seriously injuring a couple before finally being restrained, she maniacally began giggling to herself in a sinister way, happy and pleased with how funny she found it, showing how fractured her psyche had become. However, behind the smiles laid a very depressed, broken and melancholic woman with poor self-esteem suffering from her dependence on the Joker to the point to obviously she is hurt emotionally than being truly happy, despite claiming otherwise. In fact, Joker treated Harley more like a piece of property than someone he truly loves.

Harley also displays an extroverted, charismatic and playful attitude. This trait of herself makes capable of befriending almost anyone she meets. She quickly formed a genuine friendship with her teammates of the Suicide Squad, notably Deadshot and Captain Boomerang, and years later with Rick Flag and Bloodsport. She also shows concern about those she sees as her friends, she showed great horror when Captain Boomerang died in a cruel way and mourned Flag's death. She also seems to have some moral standards, she shot and killed Silvio Luna after hearing his capacity of sending children to death.
