Deadshot

""Oh, some gambling then? If my past shows anything, I'm good at two things: Shooting and placing bets.""

- Floyd Lawton

Floyd Lawton, also known as Deadshot, was a mercenary/criminal who was known for never missing a shot.

Early History
Floyd Lawton was a mercenary who was known for never missing a shot. He built up a reputation and became one of the most well-respected hitmen in Gotham. However, late one evening, Floyd was arrested inside his house as his daughter watched on. There was a quick trial and Floyd went to prison.

Time With Task Force X
Not much is known about this period of time in Deadshot's life. While in prison, Floyd was recruited into Task Force X where he would serve his sentence. In between this time, Floyd apparently had applied for probation. Eventually, Floyd was released from prison, because of his great help to Task Force X.

Post-Earthquake
Floyd was in his apartment when the earthquake struck. He quickly exited the building, and it collapsed entirely mere minutes later. Floyd has spent much time trying to find his daughter and ex-wife, but he has also spent much time trying to get hired. Just recently he has struck a deal with Black Mask that threatens Amanda Waller.

Return to The Suicide Squad
Deadshot had been searching around trying to find clues on how to kill Waller. He is discovered by Briscoe, whom he swiftly kills, but is then confronted by the rest of the Squad. Instead of fulfilling his contract with Black Mask, he makes a deal with the Squad to join them so as to return Gotham to normal by completely finishing the List of Undesirables. After this, he goes after Ivy to save her from Firefly, where he injected with fear toxin and sees visions of his daughter, quickly being subdued.

Kills
He has killed only one person so far., after shooting a bullet directly through Briscoe's brain. However, it is implied that Deadshot has killed many others as he is a well-known mercenary.

Relationships

 * Black Mask: No major relationship, but it should be noted that the two have worked together on two or more occasions in an off-handed statement by Floyd.


 * Captain Boomerang: Friendly realtionship which involves much mocking and teasing.


 * Amanda Waller: Though Floyd hates Waller with his guts, he does at least respect the woman and will follow her orders when working under her.

Paraphernalia
Deadshot primarily uses gear composed of body armor, a mask and lasered eye-scope, a sniper rifle, two pistols, and a knife. Floyd previously had custom-made wrist-mounted guns, but they were locked away when he was sentenced to prison, and he has not had the time to remake them. It is also notable that he has assault rifles that he occasionally uses, but not as frequently as the rest if his equipment.
