Origin
Deadline
While attempting to aid in an escape from Iron Heights with cohorts Deadshot and Merlyn, the jokerized Deadline was seemingly shot and killed by Warden Wolfe. Because he was under the influence of Joker's chemicals at the time, abnormal healing properties allowed Deadline to recover slowly, only to be gravely injured once again when he and several other assassins stupidly went gunning for his former Killer Elite teammate Deadshot.
Post-Flashpoint
Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events.
