An assassin, and an enemy of Batman and the Justice League.
Description[]
Appearance[]
Deadshot is a tall man of medium build who wears a tight red costume with gray decorations and which has a disk on the chest with a cross-hair symbol on it. Covering his head he has a gray mask (which may be metallic) and over his right eye (or replacing it) has a red device that may help him aim his weapons with accuracy. At his waist is a belt from which he hangs his equipment.
Personality[]
He speaks with a gruff voice and likes to project the persona of a tough guy who is calm and unflappable. Even Superman does not worry him, but he is scared of Batman who dislikes him and for many years has wanted him sent to prison. The Penguin knows him as "Floyd".
Abilities & Equipment[]
He is an assassin (Batman calls him a "sharpshooter") who hires out his services to fellow villains like the Penguin and Lex Luthor and is even prepared to execute a 'contract' on Batman. To carry out this function he has made himself into a walking arsenal. His initial weapon is a sniper's rifle of which there is more than one design.
If he loses this in combat, he can quickly draw one of his pistols, which are held in holsters on each thigh, and even if he drops these he can pull out a tazer and jab it into an opponent's chest. However, Deadshot's most frequently used guns are in boxes strapped to his forearms that have short, protruding barrels and have a high rate of fire. He hangs grenades from his belt and these can be thrown to block the progress of opponents in the street, but can also make use of much more destructive bombs. For use against a larger target like the Batmobile, he has a long launcher for RPG rounds which he slings across his back. Electrocuting devices can be hurled at flying targets to bring them down, and a gun that shoots tranquiliser darts is used to take victims alive. He can carry a holdall for his larger weapons.
He is very quick and agile in close combat, even being able to dodge Wonder Woman's lunges.
Residences[]
Deadshot has a hideout in an abandoned warehouse probably in Gotham City where he stores his equipment and performs target practice.
