Deathstroke, also known as Slade Wilson, is one of the DC Universe’s most dangerous and enduring anti-heroes. He first appeared in The New Teen Titans #2 (1980), created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez.
A former decorated soldier, Wilson was subjected to a secret military experiment intended to create the ultimate super-soldier. The procedure enhanced his strength, speed, reflexes, and cognitive ability to superhuman levels — transforming him into a cold, calculated, and terrifyingly efficient assassin. A master tactician and elite combatant, Deathstroke is proficient in military-grade martial arts, marksmanship, swordplay, and unconventional warfare.
Whether clashing with the Teen Titans, Batman, or the Justice League, Slade walks the line between villain and reluctant ally, operating by his own strict code and his own price. He is rarely the most powerful figure in the room — but he is almost always the most prepared.
