Deathstroke is a fictional supervillain that appears in DC Comics’ American comic books. Deathstroke the Terminator appeared in The New Teen Titans #2 in December 1980, created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez. He is frequently shown as an assassin and the Teen Titans’ archenemy, notably Dick Grayson; he has also fought other DC Universe characters such as Batman, Green Arrow, and the Justice League. Joe, Rose, and Grant Wilson are his children.

Wizard magazine named him the 24th Greatest Villain of All Time, while IGN named him the 32nd Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time. He has appeared in a number of media adaptations, including numerous Batman-related productions and the Teen Titans animated series, where he is voiced by Ron Perlman. Manu Bennett in The CW’s television Arrowverse program Arrow; Esai Morales on the DC Universe series Titans; and Joe Manganiello in the DC Extended Universe, beginning with a cameo in the 2017 film Justice League, have all played Deathstroke in live-action.

Slade Wilson lied about his age when he entered in the United States Army at the age of 16. He was then deployed to Camp Washington, where he was elevated to the rank of major, after service in Korea. Captain Adeline Kane, entrusted with teaching young soldiers in new fighting methods in anticipation of building issues in Vietnam, encountered him in the early 1960s. Kane was astounded by Slade’s competence and ability to swiftly adapt to current fighting traditions. She fell in love with him right away and understood that he was without a doubt the most capable warrior she had ever met. She volunteered to teach Slade guerilla warfare on a one-on-one basis. Slade mastered every combat style offered to him in less than a year and was quickly elevated to the rank of lieutenant colonel. Adeline and he married six months later, and she became pregnant with their first child. As the combat in Vietnam became more intense, Slade was sent overseas. His unit massacred a hamlet during the battle, which disgusted him. Wintergreen, an SAS member, saved him as well, and he would eventually repay the favor.

In an attempt to develop metahuman super-soldiers for the US military, the Army injected him with a medication that enabled him to absorb and employ up to 90% of his brain’s capacity, offering him improved physical powers and near-mastery control over his body (faster healing-factor and heightened senses). Soon after the experiment, Deathstroke violated instructions and rescued his comrade Wintergreen, who had been put on a suicide mission by a superior officer with a vendetta against him. Despite the fact that his wife was an outstanding military combat instructor, Slade kept his work a secret from his family.

The Jackal kidnapped Slade’s younger son Joseph Wilson in order to force him to reveal the identity of a customer who had hired him as an assassin. Slade declined, arguing that it violated his own code of honor. At the rendezvous, he assaulted and murdered the kidnappers. Unfortunately, one of the robbers stabbed Joseph’s throat before Slade could intervene, shattering his voice chords and making him deaf.

Adeline became outraged after seeing Slade endangering her son and attempted to murder him by shooting him, but only managed to ruin his right eye. Following that, he was so confident in his athletic talents that he made no attempt to hide his compromised eyesight, which was denoted by a mask with a black, featureless half covering his missing right eye. Slade covers his eye with an eyepatch when he isn’t wearing his mask.
