    • Note: He was shot in his head by Batman in another timeline, but managed to stay alive by vibrating his brain just enough to sustain his life.

In his last confrontation with the Squad to get the "Get Out of Hell Free" card, Zoom faces off against and wounds Bronze Tiger and is confronted by Deadshot. At a standoff, Zoom threatens Deadshot that he can use the card if Deadshot tries to shoot him, but Tiger uses his last strength to cut off his fingers by throwing a small dagger.

But Bronze Tiger ends up succumbing to the multiple wounds inflicted on him by Zoom with a dagger. He says this last word to Deadshot, who asks him for the name of his deceased fiancee, before dying peacefully as Deadshot decides to pass the card to him and let him use it before passing it to Waller, hiding the fact that the card is useless now.
