'''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 ComicBook/SuicideSquad and ComicBook/SecretSix.

He first appeared in ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' #59 in [[OlderThanTheyThink 1950]] as a [[VillainWithGoodPublicity criminal who pretended to be a hero]] that specialized in [[BlastingItOutOfTheirHands non-lethally disarming crooks.]] In reality, he was eliminating the competition and trying to discredit Batman in the process. After a lengthy prison stay, he returned redesigned by Marshall Rogers as a costumed assassin with wrist-mounted guns and a grudge against Batman. In TheEighties, he was one of the first recruits for the Super-Villain ComicBook/SuicideSquad, and stayed with the group voluntarily as one of the few members who was legitimately suicidal.

Floyd Lawton grew up with a messed-up family. His father was [[AbusiveParents abusive]] towards his mother, who talked his older brother [[TheAce Ed]] into shooting him for her. Floyd wanted to [[ShootTheDog save his brother from being a murderer]], so he took a rifle up a tree and tried to shoot his father first. 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.

Although a villain at times, Deadshot is portrayed as ''just'' fitting into the AntiHero category, as was the case with his second solo miniseries in 2005. It is established that he has a daughter, Zoe, 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 and the other heroes 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.

If there's DC media that needs [[TheDragon a Dragon who uses a gun]], or some guy with ImprobableAimingSkills, he'll likely be that character. His more notable appearances to date have been:

!!Tropes applying to Deadshot:
* AbusiveParents: His father was not a nice man. His mother was even worse.
* AdaptationalHeroism: His [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse DCEU]] counterpart is considerably more heroic than previous adaptions of the character, with most of his more villainous character traits being either [[AdaptedOut removed]] or [[AdaptationDistillation glossed over]] in favour of focusing solely on his relationship with [[MoralityPet his daughter]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: His ''[[Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse DCAU]]'' counterpart is slightly more antagonistic than his comic book counterpart and most versions through the fact that he's just an unusually talented hitman with the lack of his usual MoralityPet (his daughter) or any type of redeeming or sympathetic qualities. To summarize, he's a gun for hire, nothing more.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}'s ArchEnemy Bullseye is more or less Deadshot's [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]] counterpart.
* AnArmAndALeg: Katana cut off his left arm when he went rogue. Now he's got a bionic one that has superhuman strength and a built-in gun, between that and his own apathy he doesn't mind losing his arm.
* AntiHero: On his good days. While living in his daughter's gang-ridden neighbourhood, he single-handedly removed and destroyed any signs of gang violence to make the neighborhood safe for his family. When Green Arrow came looking for him, the locals actually openly defended him and told Ollie to get lost.
** Falls more under the AntiVillain category in that he's a remorseless killer with a DeathWish, but will tend to stick to a code of honor that can make him - usually - a reliable teammate.
* ArmCannon: Of the "mounted on the forearms" variety.
* AssassinOutclassin: In the ComicBook/New52's ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad'', this is how Deadshot was sent to Belle Reve Prison. He was supposed to assassinate a senator in Gotham, but was thwarted by Batman, causing Deadshot his first career miss.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Knows that [[ImmuneToBullets bulletproof skin]] doesn't necessarily mean bulletproof eyes.
* AxCrazy: Not always, but he occasionally has the urge to kill everyone in sight.
* BadassLongcoat: Used to sport one before switching to a bodysuit. Then wore it over his bodysuit, before ditching it entirely.
* BadassMustache: Briefly lost it during the ComicBook/New52.
* BadassNormal: Has no superpowers to assist his aiming.
* BattleCouple: With [[ComicBook/HarleyQuinn Harley]]. They develop a close bond as team members in the Comicbook/SuicideSquad, and have had an on-again, off-again relationship ever since.
** Also with Jeanette during his time in the Comicbook/SecretSix.
* BeardOfSorrow: During the 2019 run, Deadshot's beard has grown longer and more unkempt, showing his general disillusionment with working for the Squad.
* BerserkButton:
** Mentioning his late son will get you a [[PistolWhipping pistol-broken jaw]] at least.
** Treating a gun like a toy. It's not that he's in favor of gun control or anything, it just annoys him to see fine weapons in the hands of idiots.
* BigBrotherWorship: The Lawton family butler made it a point to mention everyone liked Ed. When asked whether Floyd was resentful of his brother, he clarified he meant ''everyone'' liked Ed - Floyd most of anyone.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: He was once mugged by a couple of idiots who didn't even know how to hold their guns correctly. Deadshot beat them up - he didn't really care about the mugging, he certainly didn't do it because he thought it was right, he didn't even do it because they threatened him. He didn't care about any respect he might or might not get - all he cares is the respect to the ''gun''.
* BrokenPedestal: Towards his old mentor, David Cain, due to his in-universe VillainDecay.
* CarpetOfVirility: Usually, but it’s DependingOnTheArtist.
* ChestInsignia: A target. In contrast to Batman, who uses the armored bat-symbol to draw fire away from his vulnerable points, Floyd leaves the "bull's eye" unprotected because he ''wants'' people to shoot him.
* CoatHatMask: He wore a tuxedo, top hat and domino mask while posing as a hero in his first appearance.
* ColdSniper: He claims not to care if anyone lives or dies, including himself.
* CombatPragmatist: Anyone who expects a fair fight from him is either an idiot or knows absolutely nothing about him, and they're not going to live very long either way.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Averted. All of his live-action appearances so far kept his codename. Probably because it just sounds cool, and calling him [[EmbarrassingFirstName Floyd]] wouldn't do him any favours.
* ConsummateProfessional: As long as he gets paid, he'll do his best to drop the target. If he fails, he won't collect the pay, but if you don't pay up, he won't lift a finger either. And he doesn't give credit to anyone, for good reason.
* CoolMask: Wears a white/silver cloth/metallic mask which contains a scope to assist his aiming.
* CriticalPsychoanalysisFailure: Marnie Herrs, a ComicBook/SuicideSquad staff psychologist, falls in love with Deadshot. More sensibly, when she realizes he's entirely uninterested in working through his boatload of issues and that she's not going to change him, she just leaves Belle Reve.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Expanded on in the 1988 miniseries. His parents openly hated each other, to the point that his mother tried to get his father killed by their sons, but Floyd wound up killing his beloved brother Edward by accident. Later he lost his wife and son, and for most of his life has been unconsciously looking for surrogate brother figures.
* [[SonOfAWhore Daughter Of A Whore]]: He had Zoe with Michelle Torres, a cocaine addict turned call girl, in what he assumed would be a one night stand.
* DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining character traits.
* DealWithTheDevil: Makes one with Neron during ComicBook/UnderworldUnleashed, selling his soul and promising to spread chaos in return for [[MundaneUtility more bullets.]]
* DeathSeeker[=/=]TheFatalist: Is either one or the other DependingOnTheWriter. He knows he is not going to live very long either way, what really changes is whether he ''wants'' to be killed or just doesn't care.
** His response to being told straight from the source that [[spoiler: he'll be condemned to eternity in Hell when he dies]] is simply "Ha! Figures."
* DependingOnTheArtist: His mask. Is it metal or fabric?
* DependingOnTheWriter: The distinction between ''wanting'' to die and ''not caring'' whether he lives or dies isn't always acknowledged. He was noticeably disappointed [[spoiler: when David Cain failed to kill him.]]
** Whether the reason he can never seem to shoot Batman is due to [[KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand psychological issues ]] or simply because, well, it's [[InvincibleHero Batman]]
* TheDragon: Usually to ComicBook/ThePenguin.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Even Harley Quinn finds it strange that the "world's greatest marksman" is called Floyd.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He has no problem shooting an unarmed woman in the back. It's when he finds out she was told that she was free that he gets pissed, since he'd been told she was an escaping prisoner.
** When the Six were first put together, both Deadshot and Cheshire were forced into joining when Mockingbird held the safety of their respective children over their heads. The difference between them? By the end of Villains United, it was demonstrated that Floyd cared more about his daughter Zoe then Cheshire did Lian, as Cheshire went out of her way to conceive a replacement with no hesitation.
** During one issue of Suicide Squad Deadshot is legitimately disgusted by the [[UsefulNotes/{{Cambodia}} Khmer Rouge]] and goes out of his way to kill several of their soldiers on general principle.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His older brother Ed[[labelnote:*]] Who he accidentally shot.[[/labelnote]], His ex-wife Susan, their son, [[DeadGuyJunior Eddie]][[labelnote:*]] Who was also murdered.[[/labelnote]], his daughter, Zoe, her mother, and the Secret Six.
* EvilCounterpart: Is frequently portrayed as Green Arrow's, contrasting their choice of weapons, but started as one for Batman; he even grew up with Bruce Wayne and Alfred knew his butler well enough to know of the Lawtons' marital situation.
* EvilMatriarch: His father [[JerkAss was no prize]], but Lawton's mother was the one who [[spoiler: hired a child molester to kidnap her grandson to force Floyd to kill his father]].
** Retconned out by the New 52, in which she, along with Lawton's father and sister, was killed by bullets coming through the walls from a gang execution in the next apartment.
*** Then the retcon was retconned out in his part of the Most Wanted spin-off series. [[spoiler:He stole the story from another criminal, and the original backstory is reestablished. His mother turns out to be so bad that her egging him on causes Deadshot to kill her in a fit of rage.]]
* ExactWords: He and the rest of the Suicide Squad were ordered to stop Rick Flag from assassinating Senator Cray "by any means necessary". Deadshot kills Cray ''himself'', so Flag can't kill him. His genuine confusion as to why this wasn't an acceptable solution definitively proves to everyone around him how AxCrazy he truly is.
* FlamethrowerBackfire: In the second mini-series, Deadshot defeats Firebug by shooting the arsonist through the wings of his costume, which he uses to store the fuel for his flamethrowers. Firebug goes up in a fireball.
* GoodParents: ...You probably weren't expecting this from one of the world's top assassins, but all of his interactions with Zoe indicate that he makes a pretty kickass dad. The only reason he's not a RetiredBadass is because [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies the various enemies he's made don't care that he'd rather be a father than a hitman.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: Lawton doesn't worry about lung cancer, since he's not expecting to live that long. Almost every single panel where Deadshot is neither masked nor eating, he's smoking a cigarette.
* GunsAndGunplayTropes: Uses almost all of them.
* GunsAkimbo: His wrist mounted guns, or just two pistols.
* TheGunslinger: Deadshot is an evil version.
* [[HiredGuns Hired Gun]]: His main source of income.
* HomoeroticSubtext: With Catman, to a blatantly obvious extent.
* ImprobableAimingSkills: The master of this in the DC Universe (in regards to guns, at least). If you want to get an idea of how skilled he is, he can shoot ''other bullets'' that have ''already been fired'' out of the air.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: In his first miniseries, he left the Suicide Squad to go in an unsanctioned killing spree. His boss, ComicBook/AmandaWaller, realized he was hunting down everyone involved in his young son's kidnapping and death, and once she checked all involved were scum the likes of which managed to disgust her, promptly decided to ignore Deadshot's activities, knowing he was going to return to Belle Reve at some point.
* KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand: Doesn't actually want to kill Batman, and Bats finally calls him on the fact that he always "pulls his shots" by hesitating or trying a TrickBullet.
* LackOfEmpathy: He likes to come across as completely heartless, and he's certainly less caring than most people.
-->'''Catman''': If you were driving and you saw a little girl lying in the street, would you stop and help her?
-->'''Deadshot''': Well, I wouldn't go out of my way to run her over at least.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Has this dynamic with Scandal in the ''Secret Six'', even sometimes calling her "sis."
* MoralityChain: It has been implied that his love for his daughter (as well as his complicated relationship with Batman) are the only things stopping him from going off the deep end.
* MoralityPet: His daughter Zoe. Her mother, kinda. He supports them financially, and is very against his daughter seeing violence.
* MultiRangedMaster: Implied - when he runs out of bullets in Skartaris he orders Black Alice to find him a bow, or a sling, or anything that shoots.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Would ''you'' pick a fight with a guy called Deadshot?
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Delivered multiple ones to a gang of neo-Nazi thugs in one issue of ''Secret Six'' after he foiled their robbery, humiliated them, and left one of them without an eye. [[TooDumbToLive They evidently didn't learn]] that continuing to fuck with the guy who thoroughly put them in their place was an incredibly stupid idea.
* OneManArmy: Has the highest known body count of the core members of the Six; this is what [[NightmareFetishist attracts Jeannette.]]
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's not really sadistic or anything, he just wants money.
* ParentalSubstitute: More properly, Big Brother Substitutes - he tends to gravitate towards replacement sibling figures, most notably Rick Flag and most interestingly Batman.
* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:After learning about how Black Alice thinks she gave her father cancer, he forces the doctor (who is pretty sure it ''was'' Alice who gave it to him) to call and reassure her that it couldn't possibly have been her fault.]] Although, he might have just done this to make her a more effective team member.
** There's also his interaction with his daughter Zoe and her mother. The money he makes as a mercenary gets sent directly to them.
* PornStache: It's even been called this, and he's specifically mentioned that people have said less-than-flattering things about it.
* ProfessionalKiller: A lot of his jobs are mercenary gigs, but he generally tries to stick with hitman work. Batman once managed to save a witness Deadshot had been hired to kill by freezing his employer's bank accounts, suspending Deadshot's pay.
* RaceLift: Traditionally a white guy in the comics, Deadshot is played by Creator/WillSmith in ''Film/SuicideSquad2016''.
* RetiredBadass: If Deadshot had his way, he'd have the assassin life long behind him and be peacefully raising his daughter. Unfortunately, [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies one thing]] [[ExplosiveLeash or another]] keeps him from stashing away the guns for good.
* TheRival: Deathstroke.
* ShootTheDog: Does things that are too immoral, suicidal or both for his teammates.
* TheSociopath: During the ''ComicBook/BlackestNight'' crossover, Yasemin (now a Black Lantern) comments that she thought he was this, but he does in fact have emotions buried deep inside. This is accompanied by a visual of his body being mostly black with a few points of color bleeding through.
** After a brief fight in which Lawton non-fatally shoots William Heller, Batman asks the assassin why he didn't kill Heller. Deadshot shrugs and points out his boss only told him to ''shoot'' Heller, not ''kill'' him. An irritated Batman then asks Floyd if he doesn't have any sort of moral code. Deadshot's laconic answer:
-->'''Deadshot''': What for? Nobody hiring me has one.
* StrawNihilist: Some portrayals of him verge on this. In the Ostrander miniseries, he tells his psychiatrist that he feels all talk about how precious life is fell flat after he accidentally killed his brother, the one person he idolized in the world... and felt ''nothing''. This attitude was only reinforced when he became a criminal and still felt nothing after taking life after life.
** TheAntiNihilist: On his good days. While he doesn't believe in any higher purpose, he places value on the here and now.
--->"There is no great answer. There is no righteous way. There is no purpose. You can't get rid of the superfluous nonsense, [[spoiler: Manta]], because that's all there is."
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: He's the defining example of ImprobableAimingSkills in DC and always hits his mark... unless he's going up against [[InvincibleHero Batman]], or really anyone with plot relevance. Then he'll miss [[PlotArmor for some reason]].
* SuperWristGadget: His trademark weapons, which are automatic and silenced.
* TalkToTheFist: If you're on his bad side and he wants to know something, tell him in a quick and concise manner unless you want to get a hole blown in you. Agrees with [[Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly Tuco]] that "if you're gonna shoot, shoot. Don't talk."
* TenPacesAndTurn: Will [[CombatPragmatist shoot you]] InTheBack before you get three paces.
* TranquilFury: A side-effect of his ConsummateProfessional attitude is remarkable anger control. A prime example is from his 2005 mini-series; A corrupt landlord [[KickTheDog poisoned an autistic child's dog]] [[DisproportionateRetribution because he lost a lawsuit against his mother over allowing the dog to stay.]] One panel after processing this, Floyd's kneecapping the guy and threatening worse if the dog dies.
-->''"Right."''
* VitriolicBestBuds: The very violent kind, with Catman.
* VillainousBreakdown: The most notable one, in ''Comicbook/SuicideSquad (1987)'' #22, ended with him killing a U.S. Senator in front of a crowd of police, [[SuicideByCop then firing at them.]]
* WeakButSkilled: By no means is Deadshot a weakling, in fact for a normal civilian he is someone you ''don't'' want to pick a fight with even unarmed. That being said, he's not up to par in hand-to-hand combat when compared to the premier martial artists of the DCU, not to mention the ones with powers. He compensates for that by being a ranged fighter with his [[ImprobableAimingSkills deadly precision]] using firearms, and when forced to fight he [[CombatPragmatist never fights fair]].
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Suggests this on [[OnceAnEpisode almost every]] Comicbook/SuicideSquad mission. [[MurderIsTheBestSolution Even when it's not an assassination.]] Telling him to do something "by any means necessary" is practically inviting him to massacre everyone involved.
* WouldHitAGirl: Or kneecap a girl, sucker-frag a girl, etc.
* WouldHurtAChild: While he doesn't go out of his way to kill children, it has been shown that he has no qualms against it.
** His "dream assassination" was revealed to be killing a class of kindergarten students (something he attempts to do after [[DealWithTheDevil selling his soul to Neron]]) If not for the intervention of the Justice League he would have the blood of several innocent children on his hands.
* YouShouldHaveDiedInstead: His parents' attitude, and to a degree, his own. His brother was the golden boy of the family, and no one worshiped him more than Floyd. His old butler mentioned that everyone who met Edward thought Floyd would be just as bright, and tended to be disappointed by him.

* ''VideoGame/Injustice2'' - A playable character.

* ExactWords: He and the rest of the Suicide Squad were ordered to stop Rick Flag from assassinating the corrupt senator Cray "by any means necessary". Deadshot corners Flagg just as he's about to kill Cray... and shoots Cray ''himself''. His genuine confusion as to why this wasn't an acceptable solution definitively proves to everyone around him how AxCrazy he truly is.

* TheDragon: Usually to ThePenguin.

** TheAntiNihilist: On his good days. While he doesn't believe in any higher purpose, he can appreciate things that are right in front of you.

* DaughterOfAWhore: He had Zoe with Michelle Torres, a cocaine addict turned call girl, in what he assumed would be a one night stand.
