| 10 | |
| 11 | The hard-nosed, hard-boiled, no-nonsense elite soldier and government agent working as the Task Force X's perennial field commander. He was the leader of the first 80's version of the Suicide Squad, and Amanda Waller enlisted him when she started a new team's version and he had accompanied them on all covert ops missions. An ActionHero on his own right, his story shouldn't be as complicated as it turned out to be and at times the squad's fans felt his CharacterDevelopment was being neglected. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Technically, we're talking here about two undistinguishable {{Legacy Characte|r}}rs. Father and son (until [[DependingOnTheWriter we´re told]] different). USAF Col. Richard Montgomery Flag was a [[RetCon later addition]] WWII AcePilot and [[TheGreatestStoryNeverTold unsung hero]] who's shtick was to take missions no one on his/her right mind wanted, and the guy was simply ''[[TheAce that good at it]]''. So, Flag was chosen by his superiors to lead ''The Suicide Squadron'', an [[AnyoneCanDie expendable unit]] of convicted, unruly soldiers so they were disciplined, molding them into a far more effective combat unit than before. After the end of the war Flag Sr. married Sharon Race and by 1951, following the disbandment of the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica, Flag was summoned by President Truman to once again lead the Suicide Squadron's successor, [[TitleDrop The Suicide Squad]] under what would be its "official" name: Task Force X. Around this time, Flag sired his son, whom he instilled in the same values he did in the men serving under his charge. All of the sudden tragedy strikes, when his son was eight years old, Sharon died pushing their child out of the way of a moving car. A devastated Flag ultimately sacrificed his life destroying a rampaging [[DoomsdayDevice "War Wheel"]] by crashing his jet against it two years later. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Later on, Richard Rogers Flag entered the military when he was old enough to enlist. Attending flight school and becoming a USAF [[AcePilot top-rated test pilot]] who rose to the rank of Colonel, his dream was to become an astronaut and he was introduced to "space medicine" expert Karin Grace. They bonded over the tragedies they had both experienced, and soon fell in love. Then the squad was re-activated with him as TheLeader, beginning his heroic exploits as WeirdnessMagnet HunterOfMonsters facing such threads as the ''huge-asses'' [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever "Red-wave Beast", "Subway Serpent" or "Creature of Ghost lake"]]. And it was fighting against the ''freakin' [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti Yeti]]'' that Karin went hurt and ended up in a hospital for several months, Flag Jr. went into [[DadsOffFightingInTheWar further missions]] so Karin cut every bond with him. By this time we learn (lately... thing that happens very often since Flag's history is... ''[[ContinuitySnarl convulted]]'' to say the least!) that both Rick and Karin were at this point married and had a son. It is then he's offered to turn his squad into a [[NoSuchAgency government sponsored task force]] aiming to [[StartXToStopX fight fire with fire]], having super-villains as field operatives in exchange of reducing their time in prison, now fighting against {{Cosmic Entit|y}}ies, {{Eldritch Abominatio|n}}ns, {{Alien Invasio|n}}ns and the such. A job he doesn't enjoy a single bit, but then again he's the only man capable to do. |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | * TheAce: The reason why he is the perennial squad's leader. Also its longest serving member. |
| 18 | * AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Most of the time is him placing the offer on the table for the caged birds he "drafts-in" to active duty. |
| 19 | * AnyoneCanDie: He's quite conscious there will be a mission none of the {{Boxed Croo|k}}ks under his charge or even himself are going to be back from, he's just get used to it. |
| 20 | * ArtisticLicenseMilitary: Since ''ComicBook/New52'' his military background was switched from being an U.S.A.F. Colonel to a Navy S.E.A.L. officer, not only there are no colonels in the navy, his rank should had be changed to Captain but he's still being called "Colonel Flag." |
| 21 | * BackFromTheDead: In Ostrander's ''From The Ashes'' it's revealed [[spoiler: he was teleported to Skartaris at the last second.]] |
| 22 | * BadassNormal: Of the "Fought ComicBook/{{Batman}} twice to a draw" kind. |
| 23 | * BallsOfSteel: For better or worse, The Colonel will lead those under his command to accomplish any mission, not minding about the loses nor the risks involved. |
| 24 | * BattleCouple: |
| 25 | ** With his former CombatMedic Karin Grace at the beginning of his career. |
| 26 | ** With Enchantress on continuities they are in a relationship. |
| 27 | * BlackSite: [[TailorMadePrison Bell Reeve]] is the place where he "recruits" most of the people he will work with. |
| 28 | * BlessedWithSuck: It doesn't matter just how many times fellow military people in service or former squad members tell him he's just the finest, best soldier they have ever seen in action, it has never been a ride on the park for him being in charge of possibly the most unstable, unkempt, unruly, trully dangerous RagtagBunchOfMisfits ever created. |
| 29 | * BrainwashResidue: [[spoiler:He consults Bronze Tiger on how to avoid this, and successfully screws Eiling over.]] |
| 30 | * BreakTheBadass: His DCEU portrayals really wanted to take him deep into this. In comics he could never be broken. |
| 31 | * CaptainPatriotic: Nothing to be shown on his uniform, but just take a look on [[MeaningfulName his last name]]. There's an InUniverse MythologyGag stating he even ''bleeds'' [[{{Eagleland}} red, white and blue.]] |
| 32 | * CharlesAtlasSuperPower: His fighting skills may not be as flashy nor depurated as most of his peers ones but they place him at the top of the best DCU martial artists level. It is explanied that he is just ''that'' good at it but where was he trained or who trained him has never been revealed. |
| 33 | * ColonelBadass: Hailing from the U.S. Air Force. Making him this also AcePilot whenever required. |
| 34 | * CommandingCoolness: How else would you call the job of the guy taking really dangerous people to even more dangerous missions, making them comply orders ...''or else''. |
| 35 | * CombatPragmatist: The kind of soldier that gets the job done no matter what it takes nor the consequences. |
| 36 | * ConsummateProfessional: He could be one of the most condecorated operatives in american military history if it wasn't for most of his missions have been OverTheTopSecret for very good reasons. |
| 37 | * ContinuityReboot: A constant victim of this, several examples can be found surfing on this same tab. |
| 38 | * CurbStompBattle: Just ask Deadshot and Captain Boomerang how well it went for them to make Flag angry! |
| 39 | * DadsOffFightingInTheWar: As his origin history, and that's also the best way to describe the relationship with his own son. |
| 40 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Sharon, his mother, died when he was a child, struck as she pushed him out of the way of a moving car. Later on found out his dad sacrificed himself under circumstances that could be avoided. |
| 41 | * DatingCatwoman: His both known relationships count as this. |
| 42 | ** Sadly and unbeknowst to him at the beginning, his future wife turned coat not just to him, but [[TheQuisling also to her country]]. |
| 43 | ** And his girlfriend to be eventually was possessed by a [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really Over 6000 Years Old]] EvilSorceress. |
| 44 | * DeathByOriginStory: Both his parents on trully sad circumstances at the very best. His mother gave up her life to save him from a moving car and his dad committed a HeroicSacrifice to get rid of a generic DoomsdayDevice, both demises could be avoided. |
| 45 | ** The only continuity that has it changed was ''ComicBook/DCTheNewFrontier'' where Flag Sr. takes queues from the loss of his original team: ComicBook/TheLosers, names the space project he will be part of after his former teammate (Cloud) and sacrifices himself ''again'' given his shuttle is loaded up to the celling with atomic warheads. |
| 46 | * DeathMarch: Most of his missions within the squad have the tendency of being this, given the possibilities of a high number of casualties involved. |
| 47 | * DeathSeeker: Increasingly as the series goes on, particularly after he finds out [[spoiler: his father had the same problem - he wasn't killed, he chose needless self-sacrifice instead.]] |
| 48 | * DependingOnTheArtist: If he keeps his as FiftiesHair or in a buzzcut. |
| 49 | * DependingOnTheWriter: |
| 50 | ** If he is or if he's not [[RelatedInTheAdaptation son to the original Col. Rick Flag.]] His own son's name is appropriately in most continuities ''Rick Flag III." |
| 51 | ** If he's or not an EmotionalBruiser as in the DCEU [[Film/SuicideSquad2016 film]] [[Film/TheSuicideSquad franchise]]. |
| 52 | * TheDeterminator: He won't stop at nothing until the mission is accomplished. He was able to stand his ground against a BrainwashedAndCrazy Bronze Tiger enough time for other of his teammates, former FBI agent King Farady, to shoot the unstable martial artist with some tranquilizers. |
| 53 | * DoAnythingSoldier: Former test pilot, candidate to be an astronaut, spec-ops agent, unsung hero, badass combatant, fearless leader and so many others you will find just surfing on this very tab. |
| 54 | * EliteAgentsAboveTheLaw: His resume in a nut. |
| 55 | * FalseMemories: [[spoiler:There was [[DependingOnTheWriter an arc]] where Col. Richard Montgomery Flag had no children. "Junior" was a random soldier by the name "Anthony Miller" whom Gen. Wade Eiling sent through a brainwashing program to force the identity upon him. Thus creating a skilled and sacrificial assassin that could be [[PeoplePuppets controlled with a phrase]]. The phrase Eiling used to control Flag was "Dies Irae", which once spoken would make Flag susceptible to any command of the person who said the phrase.]] |
| 56 | * TheFettered: At the very beginning of his career his entire squadron sacrificed themselves so he could destroy an enemy aircraft carrier, so he has dedicated his life to making sacrifices for others. |
| 57 | * GoodIsNotNice: For all of his heroic deeds, sacrifice and compromise to his country and family legacy, The Colonel had have to partake into actions and taking decisions that are... ''questionable'' to say the least. |
| 58 | * TheHandler: From time to time across many arcs. Even [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters bypassing Waller]] if needed. |
| 59 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: One of his worst fears is to see fulfilled this grim prophecy, precisely. |
| 60 | * HeartbrokenBadass: Either for having all of his initial idealism turned into dust for bearing witness of the worst missions the military had to offer (in comics) or over his love interest June Moone (on film). |
| 61 | * HonorBeforeReason: The Colonel ''thoroughly hates'' Waller's guts, boy he does! Even more than the people on his charge. Nevertheless he is in the squad for reasons varying from upholding his family name's honour to some way to show his commitment to his duty and country to impressingly way far lenghts. |
| 62 | * HunterOfMonsters: At the very beginning of the series, this was basically the squad's job. Being there leading on each and every mission makes him qualify as this. |
| 63 | * IDidWhatIHadToDo: The way he looks at the several sacrifices, the even more hardships and the very worst outcomes in the kind of missions he and his "team" have to endure most of the time. |
| 64 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: Considering his most prized wish was, at the very beginning of his career, to honor his both parents by becoming an astronaut. If only he had knew better then! |
| 65 | * InPrisonWithTheRogues: A rare [[InvertedTrope inversion]], since ''this'' is pretty much part of his job. |
| 66 | * InvoluntarySuicideMechanism: Most of the time he is in control of [[ExplosiveLeash the explosive mechanism switch]] linked into those under his command in case they go rogue. |
| 67 | * TheJailer: He is the man in charge to take dangerous super-criminals ThrownDownAWell out into missions they all might not come back from, including himself. And lock-in the survivors back again, too. |
| 68 | * KnightInSourArmor: Can be very snarky if the situation calls for it. |
| 69 | * KnightTemplar: During his bad missions, he has displayed hints of being this. On the worst ones he takes the [[TautologicalTemplar tautological]] approach. |
| 70 | * TheLeader: Since the squad's inception until recently, he's being also its longest serving member. |
| 71 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Although he is the squad's field commander, Waller's agenda unfolds itself very late to be avoided quite often. Several missions he had led had ulterior motivations and goals unbeknowst to him and the rest of the squad. |
| 72 | * MadeOfIron: |
| 73 | ** The Colonel was candidate to be an astronaut, the hardest, roughest training program this side of the Green Berets, the Corps and the Navy S.E.A.L.s. All [[{{Irony}} ironically]] for peace purposes. |
| 74 | ** Flag has sustained physical and psychological harm for so long and so often as possibly no other operative in service or otherwise ''ever''. |
| 75 | * MilitaryBrat: In most continuities, he's son to the legendary innovator of the whole ''Suicide Squad'' concept. Even sharing [[DeadGuyJunior his name and rank]], turning them both indistinguishable one from the other. |
| 76 | * MilitaryMaverick: Not averse to go against his orders or even his best judgement to had the mission accomplished with the less number of K.I.A. or civilian casualties possible. |
| 77 | * MilitarySuperhero: A non-powered one, but capable to give a run for their money to any rogue meta-human he comes across with. |
| 78 | * MultipleChoicePast: Is he Col. Rick Flag Sr legitimate son, or was he BrainwashedAndCrazy by his goverment who pulled a [[Series/KnightRider "Michael Knight"]] on him, but making him believe [[BecomingTheMask he's a person he's not?]] Questions related to his past are just as many as conflicting. |
| 79 | * MyCountryRightOrWrong: Just like his father before him, he's willing to withstand the worst for the red, white and blue. |
| 80 | * {{Nerf}}: The DCEU seriously has minimized his prominence as a major, albeit secret player. Mostly to be DemotedToExtra in the very same title he's famed for to promote characters such as Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Bloodsport or even Peacemaker. |
| 81 | * NervesOfSteel: A requirement on his line of job as you may have guessed. It's also worth notice he has been the longest squad's serving member and leader. |
| 82 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Expect this every time he's cornered and unarmed. He has shown time and again he won't be put down easily whatever his opponent's name is... namely Lady Shiva, Bronze Tiger and even Batman. |
| 83 | * NominalHero: His work is possibly even worse than that of the ComicBook/DoomPatrol. Although portrayed as OnlySaneMan most of the time, questioning how necessary his missions are or what the outcome will be to those involved into them. He just gets the job done, regardless of the involved sacrifices. |
| 84 | * NotSoAboveItAll: From time to time he has to understand the true motivations and points of views from the people he has to work with.... this not meaning it makes him feel better, not by a very long shot. But then again, it was the team assigned to him and he'll accomplish the mission no matter what. |
| 85 | * OfficerAndAGentleman: He might be on charge of the worst and most dangerous scum of the earth, but he never has (...with a very few exceptions) treated them as simple CannonFodder. Extra points for taking a RagtagBunchOfMisfits and turn them into a VERY DANGEROUS ArmyOfThievesAndWhores.... that is! |
| 86 | * OldSoldier: His dad and pretty much himself, too. |
| 87 | * ProtectorBehindBars: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Flag is in charge to take prisoners out in highly risky missions. He tries his best every time to bring them back as safe as possible despite the fact he could as well get rid of them as "collateral damage" or just as logical consequence. |
| 88 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Very fond to this while addressing the people he's in charge to, just take a good look at both quotes on this very tab. |
| 89 | * RetCon: The issue with The Colonel is that the "father-son" thing was a justifiacation to cover the exploits of the same character from the 50's to the 80's. Then ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' came to pass, "Flag Sr." came to be published up to 1987, when "Flag Jr." was still an active character comprehensibly since 1959. |
| 90 | * RetGone: |
| 91 | ** In order to keep the "father-son" thing, most of his early missions as the squad leader were [[RetCon retconned]] as commanded now by ComicBook/SgtRock. |
| 92 | ** At the squad's both [[WesternAnimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham animated]] [[WesternAnimation/SuicideSquadHellToPay films]], he was completely absent. |
| 93 | * SecretLegacy: He is just trying to follow his father's honor code the best he can, quite often even against his best judgement. |
| 94 | * TheStoic: Rick Flag Jr.'s life has being anything but easy. Since the missing of both his parents, his former wife and most of his squad teammates that is plainly obvious. And yet, he can be all calmed and composed during the hardest missions any soldier have ever experienced. |
| 95 | * TakeUpMySword: Two instances: |
| 96 | ** This how he sees the duty to take his dad's Secret Legacy. Upholding his teachings and applying them on the missions he must partake into. |
| 97 | ** A ''literal'' case: For a while, he wielded the "Psi-Scimitar", an energy based melee weapon his dying former opponent Rustam trusted to him. It can be [[SituationalSword activated only]] by those with warrior's blood on their veins and could open warping gateways, teleporting its wielder to any destination they desire. |
| 98 | * TalkToTheFist: His preferred way to put the criminals on his charge back on the line. And lets not talk about his ''true'' opponents. |
| 99 | * TranquilFury: Most of the time he's a blunt but composed and proper OfficerAndAGentleman. Whenever we see him otherwise, is a good indication of [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness how F.U.B.A.R. things went!]] |
| 100 | * ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler:When offered the chance to reconnect with the family he once had, he refuses to, saying he's Rick Flag now.]] |
| 101 | * UndyingLoyalty: Several non-villain squad members follow his orders without any hint of doubt or hesitation, trusting their very lives to him such as Bronze Tiger, Nemesis and Katana. |
| 102 | * WeDoNotKnowEachOther: Very often he reminds the people under his charge that if they ended up captured or worse, there will be no RescueArc nor their participation during a government sponsored mission will be recognized. |
| 103 | * WeDoTheImpossible: Pretty much his personal motto, possibly adding in the end for TheNeedsOfTheMany, a.k.a The Greater Good. |
| 104 | * WorldsBestWarrior: Seriously taken very close to this on some arcs. The reason he's a so well respected as ''[[TheDreaded feared]]'' by the worst criminal scum he's had to work with is the fact he's unbeatable on hand-to-hand combat, to the point of having to fight against freakin' Batman and all of his toys just by himself ''twice'', and both ended in ''a draw''. |
| 105 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', this was actually ''his'' shtick! |

| 114 | ---- |
| 115 | * CombatMedic: Her role within the original team. |
| 116 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She looked for Flag for comfort and support since her original lover ended-up K.I.A. on a mission right before starting within the squad. |
| 117 | * HeroicSacrifice: She gave her life on the Manhunter's cult mission, carrying a bomb inside of the cult's temple. |
| 118 | * InSpace: The area she specializes in is "Space medicine". |
| 119 | * TheLostLenore: It's been stated that at one point she and Flag were married and had a baby boy born together, who had just recently being seen on publication from time to time, but now as a teenager. |
| 120 | * TheQuisling: Karin betrayed the squad in behalf of the Manhunter's cult. Turned out she was working for the cult the whole time, therefore she was also TheMole. |
| 121 | * WomanScorned: Her reason to betray Flag and the team was he didn't visited her at the hospital due injuries sustained during a mission. Flag's actions were justified since [[DadsOffFightingInTheWar he was still in-active service]]. |

| 188 | ->''"You know who I am? So, you know there's only two ways for you if you stay. Hospital or the morgue."'' |
| 189 | |
| 190 | Ben Turner was a student of the martial arts master known as the O-Sensei. When he and fellow student ComicBook/RichardDragon were approached by an agency known as G.O.O.D., they became international crime fighters alongside the O-Sensei's goddaughter, ComicBook/LadyShiva. However, during a mission to the Arctic, Ben stayed behind to confront the killer of his fiancé. This led him into a trap set by the villainous Doctor Ojo, where he was brainwashed and turned into the villainous Bronze Tiger. It was later revealed that Barney Ling, the head of G.O.O.D., was the one who had hired Ojo, and upon his seeming death, Ben was set free from Ojo's brainwashing. |
| 191 | |
| 192 | Post-Crisis, Ben's backstory was somewhat altered. While much of his original backstory remained intact, it was expanded on, revealing that he killed a robber who killed his father in a fit of rage, and he learned martial arts to control that rage. Instead of being brainwashed by Doctor Ojo, he was turned into the Bronze Tiger by the Sensei of the League of Assassins. After being rescued by Rick Flag and partially cured of his conditioning by Amanda Waller, Ben joined the team to atone for his actions and to find a cure for his residual conditioning. |

| 195 | * AnimalMotifs: Take a guess. |
| 196 | * TheAtoner: After serving as a brainwashed lackey of the League of Assassins, Ben felt the need to act righteously to make up for his actions. |
| 197 | * BadassNormal: He is just a martial artist with no superhuman power. But he is a ''very'' good martial artist, capable of exchanging blows with ''Batman'', and in some continuities even was one of his teachers. He's notably beaten up "invulnerable" enemies. |
| 198 | * BloodKnight: Ben first got into martial arts in the hope that they would serve as an outlet for his deep-seated urge to inflict suffering on others. Said urge began back when he was ''10'' and used a kitchen knife to slaughter a burglar who'd attacked his parents. |
| 199 | -->"But what scared me was that I wasn't sorry for ''killing'' him. I was sorry it ''ended'' so soon." |
| 200 | * BrainwashResidue: He was justifiably freaked out by the mere possibility of this happening, so he never accepted any position higher than Waller's right hand. Flag once consulted him on how to avert this, and his advice proved invaluable in saving the day. |
| 201 | * BreakoutCharacter: Not quite as much as Lady Shiva, but he's far more prominent than Dragon in comics and especially in adaptations. |
| 202 | * DespairEventHorizon: Sarge Steel punted him straight into it just as he was entering a serious relationship with Vixen. This caused him to shatter mentally, flee the Squad, and return to mercenary work. Between Waller and Vixen, he got pulled from the abyss and managed to stabilize, though he was unable to restore his relation with Mari. |
| 203 | * TheDreaded: A downplayed example, but Ben's canonically one of the few people who've beaten Batman in a fair fight. Bruce is sometimes written to be afraid of a rematch, especially in-costume and in front of others, which would potentially break Batman's image as more than mortal. |
| 204 | * FreudianTrio: The ego to Shiva's id and Dragon's superego in ''[[ComicBook/RichardDragonKungFuFighter Richard Dragon: Kung-Fu Fighter]]''. |
| 205 | * JiveTurkey: During the seventies, he spoke in very stereotypical lingo, though his depiction was otherwise FairForItsDay. |
| 206 | * IntergenerationalFriendship: While Ben has always been a bit older than Richard the continuity that made ''him'' Richard's first and longest lasting martial arts instructor rather than O-Sensei made Ben quite a bit older with them still maintaining their friendship. |
| 207 | * KneelBeforeFrodo: Kneeled to ComicBook/{{Batgirl|2000}} out of respect for her forging herself into a hero after the League of Assassins (including himself when he was brainwashed) tried to make her a TykeBomb. |
| 208 | * MalevolentMaskedMan: He originally used his mask as a conduit for his wrath, to the point that while in the Squad the sight of it made him uncomfortable and nervous of losing his temper. Later he was able to dominate his rage and wear it normally. |
| 209 | * MasterApprenticeChain: In addition to his training of Cass while brainwashed he was part of quite a few such chains in the corner of Post-Crisis continuity where he is made Dragon's longest-lasting and most influential instructor, though only the first one listed here was pointed out [[note]]neither Steph nor Tim thought Tim was the best person to be teaching her, but her proper mentors kept suddenly deciding to kick her out until Babs finally took her in[[/note]]: |

| 215 | * ParentalSubstitute: The O-Sensei, his teacher, was this to him and Dragon. |
| 216 | * RedOniBlueOni: Even after he was retconned to have anger issues he is ''always'' the blue to Dragon's red. |
| 217 | * ReluctantPsycho: The whole reason he turned to martial arts was to learn to control the rage inside of him. |
| 218 | * ScaryBlackMan: He is black under his mask. Averted during his days with Richard Dragon, but after his brainwashing he was retconned into having had serious anger issues since childhood. |
| 219 | * TenMinuteRetirement: He left the squad to run a dojo in Detroit, but rejoined the Squad during World War III. |
| 220 | * TigerVersusDragon: While in this case the tiger is the more restrained of the two and Tiger and Dragon basically consider each other brothers they still fight on occasion, and the imagery is even more pronounced in Dragon's dreams where Tiger acts as a kind of incredibly violent voice of conscience. |
| 221 | * WorldsBestWarrior: Aside from Richard Dragon, Lady Shiva and Cassandra Cain, he is, without a doubt, the strongest non-augmented martial artist in the entire DCU. There are a few others who ''might'' be near his level (primarily just Wildcat, Batman, Black Canary, Connor Hawke and Col. Rick Flag himself), but beyond that, he has no peers. Even the people who could conceivably survive a fight with him will do everything in their power to avoid a scenario where they would have to fight him to begin with. |

| 263 | !!!'''Floyd Lawton''' |
| 264 | !!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Batman'' #59 (June, 1950) |
| 265 | ->''"Hero. Villain. Ain't much difference between the two, I guess. Just a question of what a man wants. And what lines he's willing to cross to get it."'' |
| 266 | |
| 267 | Famously known as "The Man Who Never Misses", Deadshot is a hired assassin and the world's greatest marksman. Having been a super-villain and anti-hero, he'll commit any murder for the right price because of a notorious suicidal death wish. |
| 268 | |
| 269 | He first appeared in ''ComicBook/{{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. |
| 270 | |
| 271 | 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. |
| 272 | |
| 273 | 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, [[Characters/SuicideSquadSupportingCharacters Zoe]], and he attempts to clean up the neighborhood 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. |
| 274 | |
| 275 | 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: |
| 276 | ---- |
| 277 | * AbusiveParents: His father was not a nice man. His mother was even worse. |
| 278 | * 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]] |
| 279 | * 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. |
| 280 | * AlternateCompanyEquivalent: ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'s ArchEnemy Bullseye is more or less Deadshot's [[Creator/MarvelComics Marvel]] counterpart. Technically, Deadshot came first by publication date but in his first appearance he looked/acted a lot different and he would go on a long hiatus, with Bullseye first establishing himself as the assassin arch-nemesis to Daredevil over two decades later. Not long after Bullseye's debut, Deadshot would come back and fill that similar niche to Batman that Bullseye does to Daredevil, namely being a ColdSniper enemy to the main hero. |
| 281 | * AntiHero: On his good days. While living in his daughter's gang-ridden neighborhood, 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. |
| 282 | ** 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. |
| 283 | * 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. |
| 284 | * ArmCannon: Of the "mounted on the forearms" variety. |
| 285 | * 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. |
| 286 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: Knows that [[ImmuneToBullets bulletproof skin]] doesn't necessarily mean bulletproof eyes. |
| 287 | * AxCrazy: Not always, but he occasionally has the urge to kill everyone in sight. |
| 288 | * BadassLongcoat: Used to sport one before switching to a bodysuit. Then wore it over his bodysuit, before ditching it entirely. |
| 289 | * BadassNormal: Has no superpowers to assist his aiming. |
| 290 | * 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. |
| 291 | ** Also with Jeanette during his time in the ComicBook/SecretSix. |
| 292 | * BeardOfSorrow: During the 2019 run, Deadshot's beard has grown longer and more unkempt, showing his general disillusionment with working for the Squad. |
| 293 | * BerserkButton: |
| 294 | ** Mentioning his late son will get you a [[PistolWhipping pistol-broken jaw]] at least. |
| 295 | ** 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. |
| 296 | * 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. |
| 297 | * 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''. |
| 298 | * BrokenPedestal: Towards his old mentor, David Cain, due to his in-universe VillainDecay. |
| 299 | * TheBusCameBack: There were 27 years between Deadshot's first and second appearances. |
| 300 | * CameBackWrong: [[spoiler:After his death during ''Suicide Squad (2019)'', he's brought back as a zombie during ''ComicBook/TaskForceZ''. He's none too pleased at his revival and possible HorrorHunger.]] |
| 301 | * CarpetOfVirility: Usually, but it’s DependingOnTheArtist. |
| 302 | * 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. |
| 303 | * CoatHatMask: He wore a tuxedo, top hat and domino mask while posing as a hero in his first appearance. |
| 304 | * ColdSniper: He claims not to care if anyone lives or dies, including himself. |
| 305 | * 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. |
| 306 | * 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. |
| 307 | * 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. |
| 308 | * CoolMask: Wears a white/silver cloth/metallic mask which contains a scope to assist his aiming. |
| 309 | * 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. |
| 310 | * 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. |
| 311 | * [[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. |
| 312 | * DeadpanSnarker: One of his defining character traits. |
| 313 | * DealWithTheDevil: Makes one with Neron during ComicBook/UnderworldUnleashed, selling his soul and promising to spread chaos in return for [[MundaneUtility more bullets.]] |
| 314 | * 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. |
| 315 | ** 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." |
| 316 | * DependingOnTheArtist: His mask. Is it metal or fabric? |
| 317 | * 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.]] He signed on with Sgt. Rock's new iteration of the Suicide Squad precisely because he hoped to finally be killed on one of the missions. |
| 318 | ** Whether the reason he can never seem to shoot Batman is due to [[KillMeNowOrForeverStayYourHand psychological issues ]] or simply because, well, it's [[InvincibleHero Batman]] |
| 319 | * TheDragon: Usually to ComicBook/ThePenguin. |
| 320 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: In his first appearance, he looked like a tuxedo-wearing bandit with a mask that only covered his eyes and a pair of dueling pistols, a far cry from what he looks like in modern times. |
| 321 | * EmbarrassingFirstName: Even Harley Quinn finds it strange that the "world's greatest marksman" is called Floyd. |
| 322 | * 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. |
| 323 | ** 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. |
| 324 | ** 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. |
| 325 | * 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. |
| 326 | * 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. |
| 327 | * 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]]. |
| 328 | ** 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. |
| 329 | *** 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.]] |
| 330 | * 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. |
| 331 | * 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. |
| 332 | * 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.]] |
| 333 | * 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. |
| 334 | * GunsAndGunplayTropes: Uses almost all of them. |
| 335 | * GunsAkimbo: His wrist mounted guns, or just two pistols. |
| 336 | * TheGunslinger: Deadshot is an evil version. |
| 337 | * [[HiredGuns Hired Gun]]: His main source of income. |
| 338 | * HomoeroticSubtext: With Catman, to a blatantly obvious extent. |
| 339 | * 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. |
| 340 | * 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. |
| 341 | * LackOfEmpathy: He likes to come across as completely heartless, and he's certainly less caring than most people. |
| 342 | -->'''Catman''': If you were driving and you saw a little girl lying in the street, would you stop and help her? |
| 343 | -->'''Deadshot''': Well, I wouldn't go out of my way to run her over at least. |
| 344 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: Has this dynamic with Scandal in the ''Secret Six'', even sometimes calling her "sis." |
| 345 | * LiteralMinded: In the 2001 ''Suicide Squad'' series, Floyd tells a diner waitress that he's an assassin. The waitress, assuming this to be a joke, sarcastically offers him 20 dollars to kill the diner's terrible short order cook. The scene then cuts to a news report about a shooting at a local diner, with the newscaster saying that witnesses claimed the shooter demanded 20 dollars from a horrified waitress after killing the cook. |
| 346 | * 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. |
| 347 | * MoralityPet: His daughter Zoe. Her mother, kinda. He supports them financially, and is very against his daughter seeing violence. |
| 348 | * 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. |
| 349 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Would ''you'' pick a fight with a guy called Deadshot? |
| 350 | * NightmareFetishist: His response to hearing Killer Frost suggest that they wipe out an entire island full of superhumans? |
| 351 | --> Keep talkin' like that and I may have to marry you. |
| 352 | * 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. |
| 353 | * OneManArmy: Has the highest known body count of the core members of the Six; this is what [[NightmareFetishist attracts Jeannette.]] |
| 354 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's not really sadistic or anything, he just wants money. |
| 355 | * PapaWolf: Mention his daughter with bad intentions, and he will tell you it is ''on''. |
| 356 | * ParentalSubstitute: More properly, Big Brother Substitutes - he tends to gravitate towards replacement sibling figures, most notably Rick Flag and most interestingly Batman. |
| 357 | * 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. |
| 358 | ** There's also his interaction with his daughter Zoe and her mother. The money he makes as a mercenary gets sent directly to them. |
| 359 | * PornStache: It's even been called this, and he's specifically mentioned that people have said less-than-flattering things about it. |
| 360 | * 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. |
| 361 | * RaceLift: Traditionally a white guy in the comics, Deadshot is played by Creator/WillSmith in ''Film/SuicideSquad2016''. |
| 362 | * 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. |
| 363 | * {{Retirony}}: In the 2019 ''Suicide Squad'' run [[spoiler:after finally completing his sentence and deciding to be a better father for his daughter, he gets killed by Black Mask pretending to be Blue Beetle.]] |
| 364 | * TheRival: ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} is his main rival on assassinations. |
| 365 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: In his first miniseries, Deadshot 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. |
| 366 | * SelfHarm: Again, DependingOnTheWriter. Keith Giffen in particular wrote Floyd as engaging in self-harm, specifically [[CigaretteBurns putting out cigarettes on his own arm]]. |
| 367 | * ShootTheDog: Does things that are too immoral, suicidal or both for his teammates. |
| 368 | * 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. |
| 369 | ** 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: |
| 370 | -->'''Deadshot''': What for? Nobody hiring me has one. |
| 371 | * 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. |
| 372 | ** TheAntiNihilist: On his good days. While he doesn't believe in any higher purpose, he places value on the here and now. |
| 373 | --->"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." |
| 374 | * 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]]. |
| 375 | * SuperWristGadget: His trademark weapons, which are automatic and silenced. |
| 376 | * 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." |
| 377 | * TenPacesAndTurn: Will [[CombatPragmatist shoot you]] InTheBack before you get three paces. |
| 378 | * 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. |
| 379 | -->''"Right."'' |
| 380 | * VitriolicBestBuds: The very violent kind, with Catman. |
| 381 | * 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.]] |
| 382 | * 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]]. |
| 383 | * 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. |
| 384 | * WouldHitAGirl: Or kneecap a girl, sucker-frag a girl, etc. |
| 385 | * WouldHurtAChild: While he doesn't go out of his way to kill children, it has been shown that he has no qualms against it. |
| 386 | ** 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. |
| 387 | * 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. |

| 418 | |
| 419 | June Moone is a freelance artist who becomes possessed by an entity originally known only as The Succubus. The resulting merge produces a being known as the Enchantress, a powerful sorceress considered to be one of the most dangerous black magic practitioners in Franchise/TheDCU. |
| 420 | ---- |
| 421 | * BeastAndBeauty: Depending on the continuity, she has been on both ends. |
| 422 | ** On certain arc she was the gorgeous redhead lover of Killer Croc, the man-eating lizard mutant. |
| 423 | ** She was also the monstrous ReallySevenHundredYearsOld EvilSorceress possessing Col. Rick Flag's girlfriend [[Film/SuicideSquad2016 on film]]. |
| 424 | * DarkMagicalGirl: Enchantress fought {{ComicBook/Supergirl}} as she'd decided to steal all the magical power on Earth in order to eliminate evil. Then it turned out her mentor was secretly evil, and June Moone's Enchantress side went full villain. |
| 425 | * DePower: For a time, after Nightshade absorbed the demonic entity powering her magic. |
| 426 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: She once [[PetTheDog healed a mortally wounded cat]] that Katana had befriended. When Katana thanked her, she replied "No need. It is not right that any innocent animal should suffer." |
| 427 | * FaceHeelTurn: Enchantress started as a Manga/SailorMoon style MagicalGirl in her own adventures before disappearing for a few years. When she came back, Enchantress fought {{ComicBook/Supergirl}} as she'd decided to steal all the magical power on Earth in order to eliminate evil. Then it turned out her mentor was secretly evil, and June Moone's Enchantress side went full villain. |
| 428 | * FunctionalMagic: Her main ability. |
| 429 | * LadyOfBlackMagic: A powerful sorceress garbed in flowing dark green robes, especially so when depicted as a villainous EvilSorceress. |
| 430 | * MagicalGirlWarrior: One of the very firsts, for starters! Enchantress started as a Manga/SailorMoon style MagicalGirl in her own adventures before disappearing for a few years. When she came back, |
| 431 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After shooting Nightshade, who was just trying to calm her down. |
| 432 | * PowerDyesYourHair: In earlier versions, June Moone is a natural blonde, but turns black-haired whenever she becomes the Enchantress. These days June's a redhead regardless of her identity. |
| 433 | * SensitiveArtist: June Moone is a sensitive and kind-hearted freelance artist and graphic designer when not under The Enchantress's influence. This is in contrast to the Enchantress personality, who is much colder, crueler, and often an [[EnemyWithin explicitly evil and corrupting force]] in June's life. |
| 434 | * SquishyWizard: June's the team's powerhouse, but she's a graphic designer and about as tough as you can expect of that. When the villain Cosmonaut headbutted her, she was comatose for hours. Cosmonaut did the same thing to athletic teammate ComicBook/{{Katana}} and Katana was only momentarily dazed. June got squished for real in ''ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}'', when ComicBook/{{Superman}} stepped on her. |
| 435 | * SuperPoweredEvilSide: Has one, which is her main reason for joining the squad; she was promised they could keep it in check. Interestingly, while she might not like the Enchantress, she eventually shoots Nightshade in an attempt to restore her powers. Belle Reve's psychologist makes it a point to explain there's a difference between willingly giving power away and having it taken. In fact, he explicitly compares power to a drug and Moone's actions as withdrawal. |
| 436 | * TalkToTheFist: One of her biggest weaknesses these days. She's almost always the most powerful member of the squad, but she's rarely effective. It's because she spends a long time talking, including telling an enemy what she intends to do to them, so opponents just blast her while she's still blabbing. |
| 437 | * TokenEvilTeammate: [[VillainProtagonist Relatively speaking]], Enchantress is this to the Suicide Squad. Mainly because she's an evil witch who's just as dangerous to her squadmates as she is to her enemies. |

He was an applicant to an unnamed government agency whose brother Craig was an undercover agent infiltrating a criminal syndicate called "the Council".
