Notes:

Not every villain Larson has made acquintances with have not always been strictly business related. He has made regular contact with Selina Kyle AKA Catwoman and is apparently on neutral terms with both Deadshot and Deathstroke. Footage showing Larson in combat shows that he is highly trained in the martial arts and with firearms. He shows a highly competitive side when it comes to business with other assassins, especially with Floyd Lawton AKA Deadshot.

Comparing footage with Larson's and Deathstroke's fighting styles shows many similarities, it is highly possible that Deathstroke trained Larson in every way before going freelance.

Larson also shows an above average intellect for a contract killer, he is easily bored and requires multiple activities to keep him occupied before he loses patience and gets aggressive, one incident resulting in five guards being hospitalised. If his school results are anything to go by, he WAS a top-grade student, but it is unknown why Larson went into the contract business.

According to other inmates, Larson knew many other self-proclaimed 'super-criminals' before they became what they are today. He had a strong and friendly with Dr. Harleen Quinzel before they both went off the grid, and has shown to be rather sympathetic to Waylon Jones AKA Killer Croc.

Conflicting reports have arisen on whether Larson has been seen with so-called 'meta-humans'. He confirms that he has encountered an unknown accomplice going by the name of Ra's Al Ghul and Lady Shiva. Security footage obtained during the 2016 Gotham Rampage had seen him interacting with Killer Frost and Solomon Grundy shortly before he attempted robbing the Gotham Merchants Bank, where he was arrested by none other than the Batman.

Regular interviews with Larson have also highlighted an inherent hatred of some of his fellow villains. He hates Edward Nigma AKA Riddler and Victor Zsasz. Larson himself stated that 'The Riddler is somebody with a chip on his shoulder because B-Man is smarter than him' and 'I fucking hate Zsasz, Zsasz is everything I hate about being a bad guy. He kills because he enjoys it, sick twat, I kill because I need the paycheck.'

Despite being a career criminal, Larson has not always been on the superheroes watchlist, although he says himself, 'I have a nasty habit of getting myself noticed'. He has had a neutral relationship with the Green Arrow and The Flash, but when he is involved with the Batman, everything is business.

Final Word:

Ricky Larson is an opportunistic hitman, plain and simple. Although the reason for him turning criminal is still unknown, it can be highly attributed to his own boredom. His neutrality with other villains makes them more likely to work woith him, even more so if he gets paid. He does very little on impulse and almost everything he does is pre-meditated.

The criminal record for Ricky Larson is beyond massive, and therefore his life sentence at Belle Reve Penitentiary is barely enough for a filthy, opportunistic degenerate like Ricky Larson.
