S.T.A.R. Labs
In the comics, Polka-Dot Man is named as such because the polka-dots on his costume can turn into different weapons and vehicles. In The Suicide Squad, Abner Krill was instead exposed to an interdimensional virus that caused him to grow multi-colored polka dots and pustules from his body, requiring him to expel the dots from his body at least twice a day, or they’d consume him. Abner was exposed to the virus by his mother, who worked as a scientist at S.T.A.R. Labs and was desperate to turn her children into superheroes, though Abner was among the few who survived her experiments. S.T.A.R. Labs has been one of DC Comics’ most important institutions for decades, and Dr. Silas Stone was head of S.T.A.R. Labs in the DCEU continuity until the events of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, using its resources to save his son, Victor, and turn him into Cyborg.
