DC ’s June solicitationshave changed all that . According to the teaser for Suicide Squad # 7 , Deadshot will receive a pardon for his crimes and plans to reunite with his daughter Zoe . However , the prevue is quick to spoil the expiation by give away that the Father-God - daughter reunification will take " a turn for the deadly " when someone from Deadshot ’s past designate up to end his life . The perpetrator could be anyone ; Deadshot ’s made many enemies in and out of his employment for Task Force X. The solicitation makes sure to underline that Deadshot has " left behind " everyone on the squad who " once had his back " , a curious way to draw a Suicide Squad roster with so few seasoned Squad members in it .

This shadowy broker mark the Squad against a squad offreedom scrapper called the Revolutionaries , a conflict that few Suicide Squad members survived , then enamour the revolutionist and forced them to join the team . After King Shark was savagely taken down by a vengeful Revolutionary , the only rest extremity of the squad who are n’t part of the closely - knit release military force are Deadshot and Harley Quinn . At first , the raw members werehappy to leave Deadshot to go , but in issue 3 , the closely - knit exemption fighters let Deadshot in on their design . Lawton freely admitted that he had n’t had a conversation in geezerhood out of hearing of someone who could wipe out him for disobedience ; it seemed that the sniper was fully willing to fall in their causal agency .
While Deadshot has certainly served enough delegation to earn mercifulness , the previews evoke that he has receive a full forgiveness rather than the commuted prison term promised to Squad members . This would mean that a governing entity actively forgive him of his crimes before he was gear up to be release . If Deadshot has go over to the side of the antiheroes dead - set on mutiny , then it would make sensation for the villainous unexampled handler Lok to weaken the team by loose what might be their deadliest member while reach it seem like a motion of goodwill . With Deadshot off the squad , will Lok ’s endeavour to pommel the Suicide Squad into obedience redouble ? Will he give up his freedom to aid them ? It looks like Floyd has a serious decision to make regarding whether to live a normal life or go fighting .
