Deadshot, real name Floyd Lawton, is an assassin-for-hire and member of the Suicide Squad appearing in the Tenth Season of Smallville.
He was portrayed by Bradley Stryker.
Appearance[]
Deadshot is a scruffy-looking, tall, slender, and mysterious guy. He has medium-length, dark brown hair and blue eyes. His right eye is scarred as well. He only wore an attire like a western cowboy in both of his appearances in "Shield" and "Collateral," which included a black cowboy hat, a long, dark brown, nearly black trench coat, a dark shirt beneath, and a pair of pants.
He usually always carries a pistol on him, which he keeps tucked away in a holster made of brown leather. Additionally, he occasionally covers his scarred right eye with a red-lens, almost steampunk, ocular scope.
History[]
Deadshot was ordered to track Clark Kent. He spotted Clark and Cat Grant through a red digital-tracking lenscape on his right eye while standing in the middle of the street. He shot a straight-forward bullet (passing and missing over structure and people it could come in contact with) to Cat’s car exhaust port, which had exploded upon ignition. However, Clark was able to save Cat.
Receiving orders, Deadshot made further preparations for Clark to test him even more. Deadshot was shown in his warehouse, which was filled with various types of guns and bullets. He speaks to someone on the phone about not letting targeted people walk away.
The caller said it was just a test and to make sure that they were after the right target. Deadshot finished engraving a name on a bullet, "CLARK KENT", revealing that Clark was the real target they were after.
Lawton later found Cat at the bus station trying to leave town in disguise. As he was aiming to strike the final blow, Clark arrived there just in time to stop him and saved Cat. But unbeknownst to him, Deadshot had implanted a tattoo tracking mark in his skin using the bullet that "scraped" him using blue kryptonite. He was later freed from prison by Rick Flag and Plastique to return to their team, the Suicide Squad.
Deadshot joined Flag and Chloe Sullivan in saving the Justice League from Lieutenant Trotter and the VRA. While Flag, Chloe and Oliver Queen worked on getting the League out of the virtual reality prison, Deadshot took watch outside. When Chloe was caught by the VRA and almost killed, Deadshot saved her by shooting two VRA members tasked with the job of executing her. He then fought the other agents along with Canary, Oliver and Chloe.
Powers and Abilities[]
Expert Marksman: As a proficient marksman, Deadshot can handle weapons, particularly guns, as well as can use them very accurately because of the electronic-eye patch he wears. Peak Agility: As a slender and thin young man, Deadshot is extremely dexterous and can maneuver very accurately.
