Deadline was a high-tech villain who fought Starman and Aquaman on several occasions. He first appeared in Starman #15: "Deadline Doom" (October 1989). His equipment included a golden battle armor, plasma gun, flying discs and a dispersal device allowing the wearer to pass through walls.
Deadline appears in Suicide Squad (1st series) #64-66 as part of a more villainous version of the Squad propping up the dictatorship in the Bermuda Triangle island of Diabloverde. His team is showing terrorizing civilians for the seeming sport. Amanda Waller and her Squad take out him and his colleagues while attempting to remove the dictator.
He appears in Aquaman #9 where he was hired by King Theisley of Poseidonis to assassinate Aquaman. Despite managing to get Aquaman out of the seas and into the sky, he failed to kill him. He also attempted to kill Steel at one point but failed that as well.
In Flash v2, #179: "Smile For the Camera" (December 2001), Deadline was shot and apparently killed by Warden Wolfe at Iron Heights prison while trying to escape with cohorts Deadshot and Merlyn. He later appeared alive in the 2004 Deadshot mini-series- writer Christos Gage justified this by pointing out the at the time of the shooting Deadline had been dosed with Joker venom, which has been established as having healing properties.
