Harkness was shocked and incapacitated once again, now by Grey Lora, who was killed by Quinn, allowing the Squad to escape. While Harkness saw Lawton's body as dead weight, Harley Quinn insisted against leaving him behind. Confronting Regulus, Deadshot fired through his own chest to hit his target, seemingly killing himself in the process. Though he was electrocuted by an impostor disguised as Squad member Black Spider, he recovered and returned to the Squad with an army of freed Basilisk prisoners in tow. In a mock battle, Harkness freed Deadshot and turned on Basilisk, activating his confederates and leading the Squad to Regulus. In Mexico, Boomerang led Basilisk forces in recovering the Suicide Squad from their local captors and delivered them to Regulus, the terrorists' leader. Joining the organization to survive, Captain Boomerang reported on its action and recruited allies among its disaffected personnel. However, Harkness' capture had been arranged by Waller to place an operative within Basilisk. After capturing the doctor and revealing to his teammate Harley Quinn that her former partner-in-crime the Joker was believed dead, Captain Boomerang was betrayed to Basilisk's Grey Lora and shot in the hand by Deadshot, the Squad's true leader. Though Harkness believed that he had been placed in command of the Squad and given a detonator for the nanite bombs implanted in its members to ensure compliance by Waller, the detonator was inert and he was in reality a bargaining chip, to be traded to the terrorists for his killing of Asp in exchange for custody of Visyak. New 52 Early MissionsĬaptain Boomerang and teammate Yo-Yo were deployed to take the place of Squad casualties Voltaic and Black Spider for a mission to recover Basilisk scientist Doctor Elisa Visyak. There, he was selected by Amanda Waller to be a member of the Suicide Squad, a team of supervillain convicts pressed into government service to reduce their sentences. He became acquainted with Floyd Lawton, a fellow costumed assassin who operated under the identity of "Deadshot." Harkness was taken into police custody, imprisoned, and-after killing three fellow inmates with boomerangs fashioned from sharpened spoons-transferred to Belle Reve Penitentiary. Harkness worked as a killer-for-hire, taking a contract for Wong Fon Yay, or "Asp" of the terrorist organization Basilisk, and impaling her through the heart with a boomerang. With Mirror Master and the Trickster, Boomerang participated in an attempted bank robbery foiled by the Flash, who bound the Rogues and delivered them one-by-one to the Central City Police Department. Captain Boomerang allied himself with the Flash's Rogues gallery, but, still, even their combined efforts were no match for the Flash.
However, his plan went awry when he was contested by the vigilante speedster the Flash, who constantly put Harkness behind bars. When he was older, Harkness moved to Central City in the United States, determined to become a master thief with his boomerangs, and became the costume criminal "Captain Boomerang". Harkness' skill with the weapon grew violent, and he took to killing both animals and other people. His mother, an Aboriginal Australian, taught her son the myth of Bobbi-bobbi, a snake god and inventor of the first boomerang. Young Harkness believed that, if he could become better with boomerangs, it would somehow impress his father if they were to ever meet again.
BOOMERANG CHARACTERS HOW TO
Though he liked to make up fake stories about his origin, the truth was, from an early age, Harkness taught himself how to carve and throw boomerangs extremely well, having known his absentee father was especially proficient with them. Digger Harkness grew up with his mother in a town in the Australian outback, abandoned by his father.
