There she saw many patients who are criminally insane and among them she found The Joker to be the most mistreated one. So she goes undercover as a patient there but the clown eventually caught her disguise and her confidence on face of his madness impressed him. Even though her supervisor, Dr. Sterano, discovered their secret affair, she was taken to Ace Chemical Processing Plant by Joker and hurled into the chemical vats.

Joker fished her out from the bottom of vat but she was drastically changed by then both physically and mentally, and the maniac dubbed her Harley Quinn. They became lovers and after a while Joker left her as he got bored. She then made a uniform for herself. Black Canary stopped her from an unchecked homicidal binge and she is taken to Belle Reve Penitentiary.

Amanda Waller then recruited her to her secret command unit called Task Force X, AKA Suicide Squad. After their first mission (Kicked in the Teeth), she managed to escape the prison while creating a prison riot. She was later kidnapped and tortured by The Joker when the maniac was up against the entire Bat-Family as a part of his ploy against his arc-nemesis; The Dark Knight (Death of the Family).

Suicide Squad – Kicked in the Teeth | Comics

Master assassin Deadshot recalls how his hit on a senator in Gotham City gone wrong for the unexpected intervention of Batman which caused him to miss his shot for the first time in his career and him ended up in Belle Reve prison as a death row inmate. He was sent on a covert operation with fellow convict Harley Quinn, El Diablo, King Shark, Black Spider, Voltaic and Savant as team 'Task Force X' or better known as Suicide Squad on a rescue mission after being forcibly drafted to retrieve a rogue agent for their employer Amanda Waller.

Soon as they arrived to do the job, they realized that they are being set up and caught by an unknown group of captors. Without revealing their true identity, their newest captors brutally tortured them to break for information. All of the members either were drooling to the pain or lost in thoughts of their life before Suicide Squad until Savant decides to spill whatever he knew about. In return, he is killed almost instantly and the rest of the group is released informing that they passed the initiation test.

Now qualified for the ranks of the team, the squad members are sent to Mississippi to wipe out sixty thousand people inside the Megadome stadium after retrieving a package from a woman named Caley Burns. When the reaches to their destination they face an army of ravaging civilians infected by some virus as well as Caley herself and if the situation at hand can be taken care of, facing the bounty hunter called Mad Dog and a massive prison break at Belle Reve is what they have to deal with up next.

Suicide Squad Vol 01 – Kicked in the Teeth (Softcover)

Collecting the first seven issues of the fourth volume of Suicide Squad, which also is the first monthly ongoing series in The New 52 timeline, "Kicked in the Teeth" is the first story arc. The story takes the team in not one but three separate missions on their joining of the group, marking it to be the origin for the characters of the Squad.

As the story progressed, writer Adam Glass (Deadpool, Flashpoint – Legion of Doom) and artist Federico Dallocchio were the man forming the creative team with Ryan Benjamin serving as the cover artist. The story is quick paced and definitely not for kids but Glass deserves some credit for his part except for artist Dallocchio. The art he provides is way horrible compared to other graphic novels DC is publishing.

Later, Rick Flag Jr. stepped in his father’s shoes to form the team again and a congressional aide named Amanda Waller found the classified files of the program and Task Force X resurfaced as Suicide Squad. Initially, members with reputation like Bronze Tiger, Deadshot, Blockbuster, Captain Boomerang and Enchantress signed up as expendable agents for the team who will go on life-threatening covert missions assigned by Waller.

In the prison of Belle Reve, Louisiana, the Squad set up its base of operation and they were quite instrumental on the Manhunter invasion during “Millennium” as well as fighting the Female Furies of Darkseid from Apokolips. Batman eventually discovers the existence of the team and threatens Waller to expose the truth in public but she also made him leave by threatening to reveal his identity.

When General Frank Rock run the team, many of the members dies but over time, villains like BaneHarley Quinn, Mindboggler, Plastique, Nemesis, Nightshade, Killer Frost, Slipknot, Heat Wave, Count Vertigo, Doctor Light, Shrike, King Shark, Knockout, Chemo, Plasmus and Shrapnel has joined the ranks of the team with President Luthor and General Lane in charge.

When Batman and Robin went on a vacation, he took the alias Deadshot and started operating in Gotham City as a vigilante wearing a domino mask and tuxedo. He and Batman have a confrontation that ends up Lawton in jail and changed him into a hardened person. After breaking out of prison years later with a red suit and wrist-mounted guns (during Strange Apparitions) Deadshot starts antagonizing Batman again.

He was later defeated by The Flash and eventually teams up with one of his villains; Captain Boomerang and became one of the forming members of Suicide Squad by Amanda Waller during “Legends”. He grew a death wish for himself but fought against the Jihad and ignored Darkseid's Female Furies invading Belle Reve. Deadshot and Captain Boomerang barely made it out alive from the Manhunters they were sent to kill during Millennium. He was quite instrumental through Nightshade Odyssey, took care of some vigilante business with Green Arrow as well as become a part of General Rock's Suicide Squad.
