The fun aspect of Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League Captain Boomerang's traversal method is his ability to aim where and how far the speedforce boomerang is thrown. He can also make three speedforce dashes mid-air which, combined with the gauntlet, make his traversal method an ability with a high skill ceiling.

He can also make high vertical leaps in the air with his dash when players don't hold down a direction key while pressing his dash button. Even though Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League Captain Boomerang cannot hang mid-air like Deadshot or Harley Quinn, his unique traversal method makes him a perfect choice for his hit-and-run playstyle as he dominates the battlefield with high mobility.
