## History

### 2010

Bronze Tiger operated as a vigilante with a strict no-kill rule but was arrested for his technically criminal activities. Amanda Waller assigned him to the Suicide Squad, an elite hit squad the government sent on suicide missions. A bomb was placed in Tiger's neck to make sure he complied. His teammates included Floyd Lawton aka Deadshot, George Harkness aka Captain Boomerang, Louise Lincoln aka Killer Frost, Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn, and Sameer Park aka Copperhead. The entire team assumed that Tiger was really Batman, due to prejudice stemming from their first mission. They were being sent to find a male stripper named Charlie Trevor, who was carrying a "special card".

The Suicide Squad traveled to Missouri, using an RV as their method of transportation. Lawton, Frost, and Quinn entered the strip club looking for Trevor, who they recognized from his tramp stamp. However, the stripper had to run when he was attacked by Blockbuster and Silver Banshee, along with their employer Professor Zoom. Tiger and the rest of the Squad managed to escape with Trevor, noticing that Professor Zoom was quite slower than normal. The stripper revealed that he was once Doctor Fate, the host of Nabu. However, he lost his power when Knockout and Scandal Savage seduced him and stole the "Get Out of Heck Free" card from the Tower of Fate. The card was believed to allow someone to ascend to Heaven when they died, and that's what Waller was trying to recover.

Bronze Tiger and Lawton constantly clashed over the course of their mission. Tiger revealed that his no-kill rule and hatred for criminals weren't because he was Batman, but because he lost his wife to the assassin Deathstroke and had been on a crusade against evildoers ever since.

The Squad snuck their way into Scandal Savage's penthouse, looking for the card. They managed to retrieve it but were attacked by Scandal's father Vandal Savage as well his men. In the battle, Vandal's soldiers severely wounded Knockout, infuriating Scandal as the two were lovers. The Suicide Squad escaped but had to give up the card. Deadshot received the whereabouts of Vandal Savage from Scandal, who had turned against her father after what he did to Knockout. Professor Zoom kidnapped Killer Frost, having found Trevor and learned of the card's whereabouts. She ultimately joined with the speedster after he disabled her bomb. The Squad broke into the cabin where Professor Zoom was holding Frost, intent on recovering or taking out Waller's asset, but barely escaped an explosion. Bronze Tiger was badly hurt.

The rest of the Squad managed to defeat Savage but were attacked by Professor Zoom. Tiger made his way to Vandal's lair and recovered the card before the speedster could get to it, getting sliced up by the villain. At the last second, Tiger managed to throw a knife that cut off Professor Zoom's fingers, dropping the card as Deadshot finally killed the speedster. The assassin accepted that Bronze Tiger wasn't Batman, and gave him the card so he could go to Heaven and be with his wife.
