Doctor Rodriguez is a member of Rick Flag's Suicide Squad.
History
Doctor Rodriguez was a medic working for Amanda Waller and advised her on medical matters regarding the team's condition.
She was responsible for locating Swamp Thing on Waller's orders[1] and was responsible for monitoring Match's condition during his missions on the field.[2]
She often expressed doubts abouts Waller's extreme methods but recluctantly kept working for her despite her misgivings.[3]
She discovered that Talon wasn't as crazy as he pretended to be but kept his secret as it worked against Waller and later revived Culebra after her death.[4]
When Waller started her plan to take over Earth 3 Rodriguez revealed her true allegiance by helping Rick Flag gain access to the structure that the Suicide Squad was using as a base and deactivated the bombs inside the Squad's heads.[5] Despite being wounded in the attempt she still managed to do her duty and later injected herself with a serum that turned her in a metahuman with sand-based powers. She came to Flags' Squad rescue after they were attacked by the Clayface of Earth 23 and quickly defeated him by turning him into stone.[6]
She later helped her team when they followed Amanda Waller to Earth 3 where she faced against the mighty Ultraman but was defeated when the Kryptonian used his heat vision to turn her into glass, but not before telling her teammates to use her glass body to get away with the help of Mirror Master.
She was then taken prisoner by Waller who expressed ammiration to her for her betrayal and told her that she would execute if not for the fact that she had no idea how, she was then rescued by her teammates.[7]
After their defeat on Earth 3 she helped attacked a military base under Flag's orders but was discovered and forced to fight against the local garrison.[8]
She later helped the rest of her team in their attempts to kidnap Lex Luthor but like all other her attempt on him failed and was vacuumed by one of his guards after attacking him in his gold course.
When Culebra managed to temporarily possess him she then faced against the genius after he got loose and managed to don his Warsuit before being ultimately defeated when Ambush Bug showed up with an army of Bizarros.
Impressed with their perfomance Luthor agreed to hire them and she later celebrated the success of the mission by having a toast with the rest of her team.[9]
