COVID-19 returned in [[The Suicide Squad]], as Milwaukee introduced new quarantine and vaccination guidelines in response to the new COVID-19 variants:
* Beta: Same as the real life variant.
* Gamma: Same as the real life variant.
* Beta+: More contagious than Beta, but less than Delta.
* Gamma+: More contagious than Gamma, but less than Delta.
* Delta: 10 times more contagious than the normal variant.
* Delta+: 100 times more contagious than the normal variant.
* Lambda variant: Mentioned by Mike, but not elaborated on.
* Epsilon Zeta: Mentioned by Jay, and confirmed by Mr. Plinkett.
* Omega: Mentioned by Mike, and confirmed by Mr. Plinkett.

Mr. Plinket explains that he tested positive for every single COVID-19 variant. Mike claims that having all variants of COVID-19 in his body will cause them to mutate into the most contagious and vaccine-resistent form of COVID-19 based on a Buzzfeed article he read. As Mike's latest get rich quick scheme, he and Jay duct tape Mr. Plinkett  to his wheelchair to let the virus ravage his body with the hopes that he will produce antibodies that they can sell to the government. Plinkett escapes ''([[Malignant]])'' and has a doctor diagnose him ''([[The Bruce Willis Fake Movie Factory]])'' revealing it was simply a minor cold, Plinkett had recovered from COVID-19 quickly, and the Omega variant was completely made up by Mike.
