Although a villain at times, Deadshot is portrayed as ''just'' fitting into the AntiHero category, as was the case with his solo series. It is established that he has a daughter, and he attempts to clean up the neighbourhood where she and her mother lived, which was at the centre of a three-way gang war. It actually works out for a while, with Floyd living a family life. Of course, ComicBook/GreenArrow shows up, and tries to capture Deadshot, but not before the locals give Green Arrow a WhatTheHellHero speech over him trying to arrest a man who was protecting them when he didn't. Eventually, Floyd decides to leave to protect his family, but not before making Green Arrow promise to protect the area more. From then on, Deadshot would give the money from his contracts to his family.

'''The man who never misses.''' Floyd Lawton, aka Deadshot, is a Creator/DCComics character who started out as a member of Franchise/{{Batman}}'s Rogues Gallery, but is more often associated with the SuicideSquad and SecretSix.
Floyd Lawton grew up with a messed-up family. His father was [[AbusiveParents abusive]] to him and his brother, and thus, one day, little Floyd decided to kill him. However, the branch he was sitting on broke, and he [[DeathByOriginStory shot his brother instead]]. One way or another, he ends up in one villainous team or another, and usually acts as the marksman, due to his highly ImprobableAimingSkills.
