## Biography

### Origin

At the age of seventeen, Slade enlisted in the US Army. After serving a brief stint in Korea, he was relocated to Camp Washington, elevated to the rank of Major. It was during such time he met Adeline Kane, a Captain responsible for training new soldiers and teaching them new fighting techniques. Amazed at Slade's skill and quick adaptation to the conventions of warfare, she immediately fell in love with him and offered to privately train him in guerrilla warfare. Within less than a year, Slade had elevated himself to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Five months after his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel, Adeline and Slade married and had their first child, Grant Wilson. Around the same time, Slade was sent overseas to Vietnam. During his tenure in Vietnam, Wilson volunteered for a medical experiment that would grant him immunity to truth serums utilized by the enemy on captive soldiers. In the administering of the medical experiment, Slade found none of the desired effects to be present and fell into a coma from the procedure. Instead, his efficiency as a soldier was drastically increased, allowing him to use a greater degree of his brain capacity along with his strength, speed, durability, and agility being increased to near-superhuman levels.

The medical procedure's failure and Slade's subsequent falling into a coma led to his removal from the army. Later, upon awakening from his coma, he attempted re-assignment, but was refused. Following those events, Slade became a world famous safari hunter, but felt unfulfilled. Behind the scenes, he moved into mercenary work for hire, becoming Deathstroke the Terminator.
