| “ | That's yer problem, lady. You believe people can be cured, be made healthy, be made normal, that they can be saved. That they should be saved. But maybe the only way to cure some people is with a bullet between the eyes. | „ |

Summary
Floyd Lawton and his brother Ed both grew up wealthy, but despite their money, the boys did not grow up happy. Both of their parents were sociopathic monsters, constantly fighting and using the boys as ammo. Eventually, their mother convinced Ed to shoot his father. Desperate to keep his beloved brother from going through the guilt of killing someone, Floyd tried to stop his brother by shooting him in the arm with a rifle. But sadly, the branch he was perched on broke, and Floyd accidentally shot his brother in the head, killing him. After this Floyd spiraled into mental instability, honing his marksmanship skills and eventually becoming the masked assassin, Deadshot, and became reputed as the Man Who Never Misses.
