Synopsis:
While traveling in the desert, the Suicide Squad sees a mirage of an oasis. However, when they expect it to disappear, it does not. The team is soon trapped by an alien mirage maker who has come to test them. If they fail the test, he will unleash chaos on the world with his mirages. The Squad is confused by his mirages and is forced to battle a mirage Suicide Squad. However, they quickly realize they are not mirages, but their fellow teammates. Having uncovered the alien’s trick, the squad is released, and the alien leaves Earth.
