Deadshot is DC’s greatest Marksman, boasting that he never misses. In his childhood, His mother and father had a deep hate for each other. His mother went so far as to hire Floyd and his brother to kill their father. This lifestyle has made Deadshot both homicidal and suicidal. He first appeared in Gotham City as a new crime fighter, but it was revealed that this was only an elaborate hoax to replace Batman. When this scheme failed, he attempted to head the Gotham underworld, but was exposed and arrested by Batman and Commissioner Gordan.

After he got out of jail, Deadshot became a hired assassin, and has been a great help in the passed two Suicide Squads. When he was on hiatus from the squad, his son was raped and killed by a pedophile. Floyd took revenge on the man. Later, his suit was stolen by an airport employee, who began to steal and kill with it. Deadshot killed him, but killing his own image affected him. He didn’t even fix the hole in the costume for a long time. During the Suicide Squad’s last mission, Deadshot was asked by Count Vertigo if he would kill him. Deadshot agreed, and both of them went to a secret location to await Vertigo’s decision. He declined, and Deadshot did not question the decision.

Later, when he was under Neron’s influence, he tried to kill kindergarteners with an explosion, but was stopped by the Justice League. Deadshot was offered North America if he joined the Secret Six, and was threatened that if he didn’t join the team, he would have his daughter’s neighborhood blown up by Mockingbird (Lex Luthor). A stalemate was reached at the end of the series, and Deashot’s status remained unchanged. He was found in bed with Knockout, but she revealed that she was only using him.

Knowing that he had had a son he later discovered he also had a daughter named Zoe living in Star City. He embarked on a campaign to clear up the crime around where she lived and later convinced Green Arrow to patrol that area more often.
