As the Guardians of the Universe’s age old attempt to create a unique inter-galactic peace keeping force that will serve justice and maintain order, the Green Lantern Corps were born.

From the beginning of the corps the Green Lanterns are being stationed to patrol over various fractions of the universe that is referred as sectors. Over time, the corps has enlisted many alien species to its rank including a few humans from earth. Former gym teacher Guy Gardner, an architect John Stewart, a freelance artist Kyle Rayner and there came test pilot Hal Jordan who were the human host of the power of ion.

All the Lanterns chosen from earth managed to make a name for them and among whole corps, Hal Jordan is considered as the greatest of them all. Kyle Rayner has also made it large to be remembered as one of the greatest. They were also members of JLA, Justice League International and various other teams. From Crisis on Infinite Earths to the Sinestro Corps War, the Lanterns always made their stand against evil’s way.

The Corps was instrumental along with Superman of the two Earths in stopping Superboy-Prime’s rampage during Infinite Crisis that cost them many corps member just to tame the unstable Kryptonian. The foretold events of Blackest Night, the Corps almost got dismantled in the wake of the demon Nekron and his Black Lantern Corps.

Deadshot | Comics

Before he got the claim to fame of being the world's deadliest marksman and before he got enlisted into the secret government project called Task Force X, Floyd Lawton belonged to a rich family and they had family issues that got his father paralyzed and brother killed for his mother and made him leave the house. Lawton seeks assistance of the professional assassin David Cain; who happens to be the trainer of The Dark Knight and father of Cassandra Cain/Batgirl, to hone in marksmanship skills.

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.
