History
Suicide Squad
Working for Joker
Jonny Frost had been working for Joker sometime before the events of Suicide Squad. He first appeared when Joker broke of Arkham Asylum, holding down Harley Quinn as Joker electrocuted her. He later appears as Joker's body guard at the Strip Club. He is approached by Monster T who wanted to meet with the Joker. Frost tells him to "Sit down and have a drink." While Monster T and Joker talk, Frost is seen watching with a cold interest.
Tracking Harley Quinn
- "You're lucky.
Yeah, maybe, but why do you think so?
Yo slick, what's up?
Griggs, and you are?
You might want to keep you're mouth shut." - ―The Casino Manager, Jonny Frost, and Griggs[src]
After Harley Quinn was captured by Batman, Joker went into mourning and painted a black line around his mouth. Under Jokers' orders, Frost was able to discover that Harley and several other prominent Gotham criminals had been taken to a black site, Belle Reve. After telling the Joker this, he is told to bring the car out for a drive. Frost and Joker go to a casino that Belle Reve guard Griggs frequented. They pay off the casino manager, who brings Griggs to them for Joker to interrogate. Frost and Joker learn from him that Harley has been inducted into Task Force X: a team comprised of supervillains who go on Black Ops missions for the government. They also learn that members are injected with Nano-Bomb implants to control them.
Assaulting Van Criss Laboratories
Frost accompanies Joker and the rest of his gang to Van Criss Laboratories, a branch of Wayne Industries that manufactured the Nano-Bombs. While there, Frost tricks a security guard by giving him a gift basket for Dr Van Criss. In actuality, it contains a bomb that kills the guard, allowing the gang to enter the laboratory. While Joker's Gang assault the lab, murdering numerous employees, Frost guides his boss to Dr. Van Criss. Joker is able to blackmail Criss into working with them when he shows him a live feed of his wife being tortured. To ensure that he doesn't rebel, the Joker implants one of his own Nano-Bombs into Criss' neck.
Rescuing Harley
- "Boss, we've got a problem!"
- ―Jonny Frost, just before Savior 10 crashes[src]
Frost, Joker, and Van Criss are able to capture a military helicopter named Savior 10, which was to be used to rescue Amanda Waller. Rick Flag and the Suicide Squad wait for the helicopter, Edwards repeatedly asks for contact. When there is no response, Flag realizes that Savior 10 has been hijacked and informs his crew to take down the bird. Jonny Frost and Joker open fire on Flag and the Suicide Squad while Dr. Van Criss disables Harley Quinn's neck bomb. With Harley free, Joker sends her an SMS telling her to come immediately to the helicopter. Deadshot warns Harley not to go but she happily gets up and starts walking to the helicopter. Frost continues firing while Joker spots Harley and throws a rope out for her to hang on and climb up. Harley jumps onto the rope and is reunited with Joker. However, Frost informs Joker that Savior 10 has been hit. Joker tells Harley then it's just him and her, however, Harley slips out of the helicopter and lands on rooftop below.
