Deadshot is almost synonymous with the Suicide Squad, featuring on nearly all versions of the team and serving as its leader for more times than any other character. However, that doesn’t mean that he can’t be part of another group of supervillains in between Task Force X operations.

The Secret Six differ from that other SS group as they are hired villains doing nasty things, rather than bad guys forced to be heroes. With a roster including Bane, King Shark, Harley Quinn and Vandal Savage’s daughter Scandal (no, really), the team takes orders from the unknown master manipulator Mockingbird. This codename has been used by various character through the years, including the Riddler, Amanda Waller even and, most prominently, Lex Luthor.
