First Appearance: Batman #59
(June, 1950)

"That's yer problem, lady. You believe people can be cured, be made healthy, be made normal -- that they can be saved. That they should be saved. But maybe the only way to cure some people is with a bullet between the eyes." - Deadshot

Floyd Lawton is Deadshot, known as the world's deadliest marksman. His weapons of choice are two guns mounted on each wrist. He began his career as a vigilante in Gotham City, but he later became a highly-priced assassin and mercenary. He has been a core member of the Secret Six and the Suicide Squad.

Deadshot decided to stay with the Suicide Squad for personal reasons, living out of Belle Reve prison in Louisiana. His psychologist Marnie Herrs suggested that he joined the team because of a personal death wish. Their next mission was attacking the Jihad in Qurac. Deadshot was supposed to neutralize Manticore, and he killed Manticore by shooting him in the face point-blank. When Belle Reve was attacked by the Female Furies, Deadshot refused to help and said that security was not part of his deal. He impersonated the racist vigilante William Hell to discredit him at a white power rally. They were later sent to arrest Firestorm. Deadshot was not allowed to kill, but he nearly murdered Blue Beetle out of anger before Rick Flag knocked him unconscious. His ability to speak Russian was useful when they were sent to kidnap Zoya Trigorin in Moscow. Enchantress went on a rampage, and he was forced to take her down with a non-lethal shot. This led to a shootout with the Russian army. In their battle against the People's Heroes, Deadshot fought Molotov using random projectiles because he did not have a gun. Enchantress tried to kill the defenseless Deadshot in revenge, but Boomerang knocked her out. In one of their therapy sessions, Deadshot accused Marnie Herrs of not caring about her patients and she slapped him in the face. He kissed her, then left and told her it did not happen. Warden Economos sent the Squad to kill Manhunters during Millennium. They battled androids in the swamp until Boomerang and Deadshot were both out of ammo, but they managed to survive the encounter. The Squad did not receive credit for this victory. Deadshot had to fight his oldest enemy when Batman infiltrated Belle Reve. Batman was able to knock Deadshot out, but later said that he knows Deadshot was pulling his shots for Waller.
