Amanda Waller
[ranking: 14]

As Director of the Advanced Research Group for Uniting Superhumans (A.R.G.U.S.), she assembled the Suicide Squad and assigned them to tasks no sane person would take.
Ruling with a cold heart and iron fist, Waller was also trusted with creating a new Justice League of America. Amanda has even met with (and convinced) the former President of the United States, Barack Obama, of the necessity of the Suicide Squad. Now that's impressive!
