To put into perspective just how respected and feared Deadshot is, he is commonly placed behind Deathstroke as the second best assassin in the DCU. That means the only person that outranks him in his chosen profession is a meta-human who took down the entire Justice League single-handed (consisting of extremely heavy hitters like The Flash, Green Lantern, Zatanna and Hawkman) with nothing more than a laser pointer. And all that I've managed to do with a laser pointer is take down a helicopter. Deadshot, on the other hand, has absolutely no superhuman abilities. He simply has an affinity for choosing a bullet and making it go exactly where he wants it to. Which, more often than not, is through the eye socket of whatever unlucky sod hes aiming it. But Vince, says the voice in my head that usually tells me to burn things, any creature with an opposable thumb can fire a gun, how does that make Deadshot any cooler?. Well, little voice in my head, allow me to explain just how good Deadshot is at turning his enemies into Swiss cheese covered in pockmarks. Yes, Deadshot has taken out a room full of gangsters whilst simultaneously wearing a blindfold and tagged numerous speedsters while they were in motion but that pales in comparison to the fact that he has been dropped out of a drone from a mile up and taken out a man in a super suit by shooting him in the exact same place twice. While free falling. Next time youre playing Call of Duty, throw yourself at the television head first and see if you still make that head-shot.
