On the fallen...
Manhunter/Privateer (Mark Shaw) - His book was a very good way for crooks to end up in the squad. Both books alwasys seemed to have to change to survive as long as they did. He popped up later on in the same story as Katana, and neither looked out of place in that version of the team.
Vixen 32 - She joined to get some payback, overcome the death of the JLA and to control her animal aggression. But as good as she was, I preferred her in the JLA. Her arc didn't really seem to pan out in the Squad.
Nemesis (Tom Tresser) - Your standard secret agent. The squad saved him, but he didn't really seem to have an arc of his own.

Most devastating round (for me) yet! I'm not bothering with % as it's just the top 5 heading into semifinals.
One of my favorite characters in DC is OUT. All the folks eliminated have been in the top for most of this game (even #1). And look how the mighty have fallen before the mystical might of ENCHANTRESS

Amanda Waller 28
Deadshot 25

On those with the ticking bracelets...

Bronze Tiger - Not made the squad leader due to his mental instability, there was the undercurrent in an early scene that it was for racial reasons. His arc ended with him back here he started, as an almost brainwashed mercenary. He was less interesting beyond that point.
Nightshade - Eve Eden is a very cool character, who was underutilised. The squad brought her story forward, but didn't establish a niche for her. A little too much time falling for Rick Flag really, and as a love interest for Tresser.
Richard Rogers Flag (Anthony Miller) - Ah, back in the good old days, your driven, hard as nails militaristic hero would have surely won. But here, we see that those traits are those of a man pushed beyond breakdown, whose obsessions would kill him. A lot of the other cast members had more interesting mental issues too.

I find Bronze Tiger a compelling figure. He was the first character I ever read who beat Batman. When I was a kid, I was all WOW. He killed the original Batwoman and that was such a big hit for me (since I adored her in the reprints I found in the library). I thought he was tragic in a way that DC heroes rarely are. Over time, I've actively pursued his appearances, and I even enjoyed the new version of him in Rebirth.

I LOVE Nightshade. I saw her first in her mini-skirt outfit partnering with Captain Atom in an old Charlton comic. She fascinated me. Her turn in Suicide Squad endeared her more to me. I loved learning more about this cypher (she really did not have much personality prior to Suicide Squad, IMO). Her time in the squad enhanced her powers, backstory and profile in the DCU.

Well said. I really wanted to like Flag but from the start, I found him either TOO boy scout or oddly deranged. He was most interesting when facing Karin Grace for me.

Vertigo was one of the first characters I ever came across to deal with depression in comics. He evolved from a traditional narcissistic nobleman villain to a complex character that overcame hardships, from his mental illness, to the raging civil war in his country, to being manipulated and abused first by his countrymen, and then by Ivy. It all culminated in him bravely (and futilely) going one on one with the Spectre over the fate of his country.

I like Nightshade more than most of the other Charlton characters, and wish she got focus equal to what Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, Plastic Man and / or the Question get!

I love Enchantress and Count Vertigo equally so this is a hard one.

...

I'll say Enchantress.
