She attempts to betray the team during their second field operation in Qurac (under the command of Amanda Waller), but she is stopped by Nemesis and subsequently brainwashed to suppress all memories of her membership in the Squad.

[6] In Forever Evil, the Crime Syndicate sends Plastique, Black Bison, Hyena, Multiplex, and Typhoon to attack a hospital to finish Gorilla Grodd's work in Central City.

[10] The character of Plastique has been portrayed in diverse ways in its various appearances: considered "a classic DC villainess" by Tierney Bricker,[17] "she has flirted with good on occasion".

[18][19][20] Reviewers Scott Von Doviak, Brianna Reeves and Felix Böhme found Plastique’s appearance in The Flash TV series interesting and nuanced, both in comparison to other representations of the character as well as other comic antagonists: she is shown as a victim, but still as a dangerous and uncontrolled force, making how to deal with her a moral conundrum for the team of the titular hero.

[21][22][23] Reviewer Rachel Paige commented on the impact of Plastique's changing backstory: she found the idea from the comics, that the character got her supernatural explosive abilities by "some handy genetic engineering" terrifying, but getting her powers from the S.T.A.R.

[20] Brent Frankenhoff included Plastique in his list of Comics' Sexiest Bad Girls due to the accentuated depiction of her body,[24] while the character was still portrayed with a sense of shame when unclad in public.
