In Batman #59 (April 1950), the criminal Deadshot makes his debut. In 1950, he is bored millionaire Floyd Lawton who uses his expert marksman skills as a crime fighter to win over Commissioner Gordon. Over the course of the story, it is revealed that Deadshot really wants to become Gotham City’s newest crime lord. Batman and Robin expose Deadshot and send him off to jail.
Years later, Deadshot would become a much more popular villain with a new skin-tight bodysuit, wrist-mounted guns, and operated as an assassin-for-hire before becoming involved with The Suicide Squad.
