great posting Shag! i had no idea Cliff was a character in Firestorm before he showed up in the pages of the Suicide Squad. i’ll be having a posting in the near future on my Suicide Squad blog that will feature him and show one of his best sadistic moments.

I keep forgetting about all the stats snuck onto random stuff like these team entries. Maybe I'll make an Adam Cray character card in 2011. He must have had quite an extensive early G.I. Joe/Captain Action/Big Jim's P.A.C.K. wardrobe selection. It hadn't occurred to me that Firestorm and Martian Manhunter had a villain in common, but J'Onn and Brimstone had a rematch almost as lopsided as their first in the Justice League Task Force tie-in issue to Underworld Unleashed (setting aside the fact the whole series was retconned into a tie-in.)

“The New Thinker” should be the guy always suggesting something which is “outside the box” and is a total “paradigm shift” and other buzzword nonsense. “We need some New Thinking for this operation!” “*groan*”

So sad that they killed Carmichael off so quickly after he fought Jason Rusch….

I’m dreaming of a white Mayfairstivus! Another great post in this quirky yet fun series, this may be my favorite. I have always been fond of Cliff Carmichael but mostly I remember him from the FOF days. He was the guy you love to hate, a perfect foil for Ronnie Raymond, and a 1st class jerk. I never knew much about his time with the Suicide Squad, but enjoyed his appearance in the Jason Rusch Firestorm series.

@Luke – I think his name was simply “The Thinker”, but he was often referred to as “The New Thinker” in reference material.

I’m not sure if the word “Thinker” loses all meaning or not. I try not to think too much.

His codename is actually The New Thinker? Or was he just referred to as The New Thinker in the game to differentiate him from The Thinker?

I’d love to see a three-way dance between The Thinker, The New Thinker, and The Mad Thinker.

You ever notice that if you say certain words too often, then lose all meaning? “Thinker” is such a word.
