8 Supervillains Who Have NEVER Died
3. Deadshot
Floyd Lawton’s backstory has been revised many times but always revolves around the same thing – His brother was killed when Lawton was young, which caused him to snap. He eventually became a hitman and the world’s greatest marksman, Deadshot.
As he gained a reputation as the world’s deadliest assassin, Amanda Waller approached him and made him join Task Force X, which is better-known as the Suicide Squad since the team’s objectives are considered suicide missions. Deadshot doesn’t mind being on the team since he dreams of dying spectacularly during one of the operations. Despite working with Task Force X longer than anyone else, he is still live and well.
But if Deadshot is a master assassin, who could possibly kill him? Well, the world’s greatest mercenary, Deathstroke was hired to take him out during the story, The War of Jokes and Riddles. For five days, they attacked one another with their fists, knives, swords, grenades, guns, and bombs.
By the end of the battle, 108 people had died in the crossfire. However, Deadshot and Deathstroke were still breathing. If the world’s greatest mercenary can’t kill Lawton, I don’t know who else can.
