Art by Lew Schwartz, Bob Kane, and Charles Paris. Deadshot is often a hired assassin, regularly boasting to `` Never Miss. '' He is capable of using a large variety of weapons, but is most frequently portrayed as using a pair of silenced, wrist - mounted guns. He initially appears in Gotham City as a new crime fighter, but is revealed to be an enemy of Batman when he attempts to replace the Dark Knight. He is sent to jail when Batman and Commissioner Gordon publicly expose his plot to become the king of Gotham 's underworld. After serving his term, Deadshot begins hiring his services out as an assassin, changing his costume from the top hat and tails he previously wore to a red jumpsuit and distinctive metal face plate with a targeting device on the right side. Deadshot 's past is revealed in subsequent appearances. His real name is Floyd Lawton and he grew up in a wealthy household with his mother, abusive father, and brother Eddie. Eddie was beloved by his parents and the other townspeople, while Floyd was a troubled child and was despised by his parents, but Floyd idolized his brother and always stood up for him during conflicts with the town 's other children. Floyd 's parents were the most powerful people in his town, however, they were known to despise each other. Eventually Floyd 's mother claimed his father had become `` too abusive, '' prompting Floyd to kill him. When Floyd took the shot from his tree house, he missed and killed his brother, Eddie, instead. From that moment on, Floyd swore to never miss another shot again. Suicide Squad Deadshot has been a major figure in the Suicide Squad in its latest two incarnations, where his skills as a marksman and his disregard for human life serve to advance the group 's objectives. Deadshot as he appears without his mask in Suicide Squad vol. 5, # 20 ( August 2017 ). Art by Stjepan Šejić. One of his most defining traits is a desire to die in a spectacular fashion, this being his primary motivation for joining the Suicide Squad. He feels he has no reason to continue living, and, while he does not want to commit suicide, he simply does not care if he dies. Various reasons have been cited for this, but the most common thread in them is his parents ' peculiar hatred for one another. Deadshot almost gets his wish to die when he confronts a Senator who is threatening to expose the Suicide Squad to the world. Having been ordered to stop his immediate superior, Rick Flag, from assassinating the senator, he kills the senator himself, citing his orders as `` Stop Flag from killing the Senator. Exact words. '' After this Deadshot is gunned down by the police on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. He survives his wounds, to continue on with the Squad. Lawton 's uniform is stolen by an airport employee, who uses it to commit crimes and murders. Lawton is forced to kill the man with a bullet to the head. The shooting of his own ' image ' affects him greatly ; for a while, he does not even fix the hole in his own uniform. While the suit has been lost, Lawton has threatened to kill the man he thought had been responsible, his teammate Captain Boomerang. During a mission for the Suicide Squad, Count Vertigo asks Deadshot if he would kill him if asked. Deadshot agrees and the two go off to a secluded area for the decision. Vertigo declines, a decision Deadshot accepts with no argument. After being affected by the supernatural entity Neron during the Underworld Unleashed storyline, Deadshot decides to kill a kindergarten class via a large explosion. An incarnation of the Justice League stops him. Around this time, Deadshot travels overseas to kill the Pope. Wonder Woman stops him at the last minute. After dozens of villains are infected by the Joker venom, Deadshot, Merlyn and Deadline attack the Iron Heights metahuman prison. Deadline is killed and Deadshot rescues Captain Boomerang from medical confinement. Children Deadshot had a son named Edward `` Eddie '' Lawton who appeared in the first volume of the Deadshot series. The character was later sodomized and killed by Wes Anselm. In a second mini-series released in 2005, Deadshot discovers he has a daughter, Zoe, who is being raised in a crime - filled area of Star City. Lawton decides to do right by his daughter, and embarks on a lethal war on the local gangs that plague the area. The series ends with Deadshot faking his death, having realized a normal life is not for him, but also having mostly cleared up the area and convincing Green Arrow to patrol it more regularly. Secret Six During the 2005 -- 2006 `` Infinite Crisis '' storyline, Deadshot is featured in the series Villains United. The Secret Six are banded together by a mysterious, shrouded character named Mockingbird ( who is actually Lex Luthor ) who offers a major reward for committing to the team and a severe punishment for not accepting membership. Deadshot is offered the reward of ruling North America ; his punishment is to be the destruction of the neighborhood in which his daughter and his daughter 's mother live. At the end of the miniseries, the conflict ends in stalemate and Deadshot 's status remains roughly unchanged from the end of his second miniseries. He remains a part of The Secret Six and is shown having reached a grudging friendship with another member, Catman. His share of the payment for the Six ' mercenary work is stated to be sent in its entirety to his daughter and her mother. After the Six disband, Knockout comments in passing that he has returned to the Suicide Squad. Countdown Deadshot and the Suicide Squad are featured in Countdown, rounding up supervillains for removal. The group encounters Pied Piper and Trickster several times, and each time fail to capture them. In Countdown To Final Crisis # 24 Deadshot makes a solo effort to capture them, but the pair again elude him. In issue 22, Deadshot ( breaking orders from Amanda Waller and Suicide Squad protocol ) attacks Piper and Trickster on a train outside of the Rocky Mountains. Given that the supervillains are aware of Project Salvation ( Salvation Run ), Deadshot apparently kills The Trickster, leaving Pied Piper on his own. In Salvation Run # 2, Deadshot is tricked and sent off to the prison planet along with the last batch of criminals. Rick Flag, Jr. tells him as the Boom tube closes that he can not have people like him on Earth. Deadshot vows that if he ever returns to Earth, he would take his revenge on Flag. After helping fight off the Parademon invasion, he escapes with the surviving villains in the teleportation machine. Batman : Cacophony In Batman : Cacophony, Deadshot is seen breaking into Arkham Asylum. He goes to the Joker 's cell and explains that he has taken a contract on the Joker 's life, due to his indirect responsibility for the death of a high school student. Just as he is about to kill the Joker, however, Onomatopoeia arrives and engages Deadshot in a shootout. Eventually, Onomatopoeia gains the upper hand and shoots Deadshot in the head. It is later revealed that Deadshot 's armor saves him, and masks his vital signs to make it appear that he had been killed. He explains what happened at Arkham to Batman, before being turned over to the Gotham Police. Batman uses the technology of Lawton 's mask to later survive an encounter with the Joker and Onomatopoeia. Secret Six volume 2 Deadshot, along with Scandal Savage, Bane, Rag Doll, and Cat - Man reunite the Secret Six, having been hired to retrieve Tarantula from Alcatraz Island, and find a card which she stole from Junior, a mysterious villain who supposedly runs the entire West Coast mob. Junior has practically the entire villain community at her beck and call, all afraid of her, even those in Arkham Asylum. The Six later learn that the card in question was made by Neron, and says `` Get Out Of Hell Free. '' Soon, the Six are attacked by a small army of super-villains, all wanting to recover the card and collect the reward of $20 million for each of the Six, under the orders of Junior, who captures and tortures Bane, whose strong principles and moral convictions, paired with his fatherly fondness of Scandal keep him from betraying his new team. It is later revealed that Junior is in fact Rag Doll 's sister and daughter of the first Rag Doll. She has the ghastly appearance of an old clown, with sliced skin and eyes stitched wide open to give the appearance of a clown. The Six escape, and head for Gotham City, with Deadshot seemingly betraying them and leaving with Tarantula. The Six manage to catch up to Deadshot, only to be attacked by Junior and the Super villains, and the Mad Hatter, who is revealed to be the one who hired them, simply so they would be killed. Tarantula sacrifices herself by pulling herself and Junior in front of the Super villains ' combined attack, seemingly destroying the card along with them. However, it is later shown that Scandal is now in possession of the card. The Suicide Squad re-enter Deadshot 's life when the title returned in January 2010 as a tie - in to the `` Blackest Night '' storyline. While on a mission to Gotham City to kill several of Batman 's allies, Rag Doll insinuates that Deadshot and Cat - Man are friends despite their protestations, something they grudgingly acknowledge. Before this plot thread can be pursued further, the Six are ambushed by an army of superheroes who had come to assist Batman. Deadshot and the rest of the team choose to fight the heroes despite the overwhelming odds, and Deadshot manages to take down Doctor Light before being blasted and rendered unconscious by Green Lantern. The rest of the Six are similarly trounced and defeated soon after. The New 52 This article needs to be updated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. ( August 2017 ) In The New 52 ( a reboot of the DC Comics universe ), Deadshot is recruited to the Suicide Squad prior to the events of the first issue. He still has a daughter and wears a costume similar to the one he wore in the 2000s mini-series, but his son has been erased from continuity. In addition, Deadshot no longer has his trademark mustache ( though he briefly regrows it to cover a scar in issue # 13 ). He is portrayed as a Batman villain and a rival of Mad Dog, a bounty hunter. He also is bitter enemies with Captain Boomerang. Deadshot is arrested for a failed assassination of a U.S. Senator by Batman and was sentenced to life in prison. Later, he is recruited to be part of the Suicide Squad in exchange for early release. Deadshot is made team leader due to his skill under pressure, but quickly grows disillusioned with the group after a planned visit with his daughter, his first since his arrest, is withheld from him and ultimately aborted within minutes of him reuniting with his daughter in order to send him on a mission. Deadshot ultimately sacrifices his life to kill the evil cult member Regulas, who had brainwashed most of the members of Suicide Squad and had recruited Black Spider into his group Basilisk in order to assassinate Amanda Waller. Deadshot is later revealed to have been resurrected, possibly through use of an arm from Resurrection Man, obtained by the Squad for Waller during an earlier mission. During the 2013 -- 2014 `` Forever Evil '' story line, Amanda Waller contacts Deadshot to help her get the Suicide Squad back together after the three Justice League teams are `` dead. '' After his money was wired, Deadshot heads out to get Harley Quinn back on the team. DC rebirth This article needs to be updated. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. ( August 2017 ) During the War of Jokes and Riddles, a story taking place in the early days of Batman 's career, Deadshot sided with the Riddler. Deadshot engaged Deathstroke, who sided with the Joker, in a battle that took over 5 days, killing multiple victims. Eventually Batman put a stop to it and gave both a swift defeat. Deadshot suffered severe head trauma and was hospitalized. Powers and abilities This section does not cite any sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( January 2017 ) Deadshot has no superhuman powers, but is the top marksman in the DC Universe, possessing superhuman - like precision, and regularly boasting to `` never miss '' his target. The character once shot an apple off of Captain Boomerang 's head with his eyes closed. He also intentionally grazed the skull of Enchantress while she was flying, since he was asked to take her down non-lethally. Deadshot has access to a vast array of weaponry, most notably his sniper rifle, and twin machine guns mounted on each arm. Deadshot is allegedly bilingual, and learned to speak Russian as a youth, and also claims to have been a Card - carrying Communist. Personality This section does not cite any sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( January 2017 ) Deadshot is portrayed as a consummate professional ; as long as he has been paid to kill someone, he will always carry it out, without exceptions. Batman was unable to get him to stop threatening a witness by threatening Deadshot or his family ; Deadshot rightly assumed that Batman was bluffing. However, Batman ultimately does get Deadshot to abort the hit by freezing his client 's bank accounts. Unable to get paid, Deadshot publicly cancelled the assassination, letting the witness go free. Perhaps his most defining trait is his acknowledged death wish, which often manifests as him deliberately engineering situations likely to kill him. This makes him unpredictable as an opponent, as his willingness to die allows him to deliberately injure himself to achieve a goal. For example, during Identity Crisis, he deliberately shoots himself in the neck while fighting Kyle Rayner, so that Rayner would attempt to save him and drop his guard, allowing Lawton to take aim and almost shoot him. He often expresses disappointment at surviving his missions, such as immediately lamenting `` damn '' when awakening in a hospital. In his run on Suicide Squad, John Ostrander delved into Deadshot 's past and family background. The revelation of Deadshot having a brother, whom he idolized, seemed to resonate with Deadshot 's attachment to Rick Flag, team leader. Ostrander implied that this relationship also colored Deadshot 's rivalry with Batman, whom Deadshot had always been unable -- or subconsciously unwilling -- to kill.

Lawton and Turner tortured the survivor, but Diggle managed to convince the survivor to tell the Squad the location of Khem - Adam 's lair.
