The Thinker is a villain with an enhanced brain that allowed him to predict events before they even happened. His schemes caused him to become a target of the Suicide Squad.
History
Somehow, he predicted the invasion by the Crime Syndicate, and got himself committed to Belle Reve Penitentiary.
Thinker's incredible brain came at a price: his brain drained energy from the rest of his body, prematurely aging him. He predicted that he would be dead within a decade.
When the Crime Syndicate arrived on Earth, just as he predicted, he agreed to serve the villains in exchange for a new body; specifically, the body of OMAC. When they agreed to his terms, he pretended to be Amanda Waller and organized a rival Suicide Squad team of his own that interfered with that of the original.
