DEADSHOT
FLOYD LAWTON
A highly-sought after killer, Lawton had retired from the world of assassination to raise his daughter, Zoe –but then his rep was challenged.
FIRST APPEARANCE
Batman #59 (April, 1950)
QUOTE
”I don’t DO quotes, man. Kinda comes with the ‘masked assassin’ territory.”
FROM THE FILES OF LEX LUTHOR:
Floyd Lawton’s constant need to protect and defend his reputation led him out of retirement, away from his daughter, and into direct conflict with a second Floyd Lawton–one of [REDACTED] origin.
Lawton positions himself as the leader of Task Force X, but he seems more comfortable being pointed at a target –and then killing it. A parent with a pressing need to reconnect with his now-teenage daughter, this is currently the leverage A.R.G.U.S. is using to keep Lawton in line.
His history: ex-military, then contracting, then blah, blah, blah. What matters to Waller –and to me –is that he’s a killer, through and through.
Jet Pack
Deadshot can utilize the Jet Pack to traverse the environment.
The Jet Pack allows Deadshot to fly from rooftop to rooftop with ease.
The Jet Pack will gradually overheat while in use. Once fully overheated it will deactivate. Touch down on a surface to start cooling it.
–Jet Pack
Afterburner
While Deadshot is using the Jet Pack, trigger the Afterburner for a temporary speed boost.
The Afterburner overheats the Jet Pack faster, so make sure to use it strategically.

Hover
Aim while Deadshot is in the air to Hover.
Hover to find a firing line over rooftops or enemy shields.
–Hover (while airborne)
Kickstart
Kickstart in the air to simultaneously propel Deadshot further and cool down his Jet Pack.
The Kickstart can be used once to cool the Jet Pack, as shown by the color of the overheat meter.
Keep holding Kickstart to allow Deadshot to fall slowly, affording him more opportunities to chain aerial moves.
