After serving his term, Deadshot began hiring his services out as an assassin, changing his costume from the top coat and tails he previously wore to his now more familiar red jumpsuit and distinctive metal face plate with a targeting device on the right side. He has been a major figure in the Suicide Squad in its latest two incarnations, where his skills as a marksman and his absence of care for human life served to greatly further the group's objectives. During a hiatus from the Squad (in a four issue miniseries from 1988), his son was abducted, raped, and killed by a pedophile, whom Deadshot later took revenge upon. Probably his most peculiar trait is a great desire to die in a spectacular fashion, this being his primary motivation for joining the Squad. He feels he has no reason to continue living, and, while he does not want to commit suicide, he simply does not care if he dies. Various reasons have been cited for this, but the most common thread in them is his parents' peculiar hatred for one another, so much so that Lawton's mother tried to hire both her sons to kill their father.

Deadshot was offered the reward of ruling North America; his punishment was to be the destruction of the neighborhood of his daughter and his daughter's mother. At the end of the miniseries, a stalemate was reached and Deadshot's status remains roughly unchanged from the end of his second miniseries. He remains a part of The Secret Six and was shown having reached a grudging friendship with another member, Catman.

Deadshot later appeared during the villain rampage in both parts of "Hereafter" along with Copperhead, Star Sapphire, Volcana, and Livewire. His next appearance is in the episode Task Force X. Floyd Lawton is about to get the chair until the warden and guards discovered Colonel Rick Flag Jr. in it who gives the warden a note that he has been chosen to participate in Task Force X, a decision they force upon Lawton by revealing that his last meal was laced with explosive nanotech robots.

Deadshot is voiced by Michael Rosenbaum who also voices The Flash.

(This is highly coincidental, since Spacey played Lex Luthor in Superman Returns, a character that Rosenbaum has gained quite some fame for playing on Smallville.)
