Deathstroke (Post-Flashpoint)

> "*The money is only important because it's important to other people-- a sign of respect via perceived "worth." But it means nothing compared to my name. And right now-- with this already being the second time I've killed him... Someone doesn't think that's worth very much.*"

## Summary

**Slade Joseph Wilson**, aka **Deathstroke**, joined the military at age sixteen, was an exceptional soldier and earned his fair share of medals. He volunteered for "Project X", which granted him enhanced reflexes, strength, mental capacity and rapid healing. After going AWOL in Bosnia, and winning his signature sword, he took on its name and began running covert black bag missions. It wasn't after the death of his son that he became the world's deadliest assassin.

**Standard Equipment:** Various blades, firearms and explosives

* **The Deathstroke:** Is an antique grete war blade that Slade won in a poker game. It was later re-cast in Promethium that's capable of absorbing an enormous amount of any kind of energy.
* **Titanium Staff:** His titanium staff can fire powerful energy blasts. And its mode can be switched from "stun to kill". And can be split into two to produce ultrasonics.
* **Ikon Suit:** A specialized suit made by Dr. Ikon for Slade. The suit is a gravity sheath, a point defence system which creates a gravitational tidal effect: the greater the surface area, the weaker the defence shield. The suit is virtually impenetrable against anything around the size of a human fist. It absorbs kinetic energy and can even unleash it back at his opponents. Thanks to Slade's superhuman reflexes, he can charge the suit just by moving.
* **Godkiller:** Given to Slade by the Greek deity Hephaestus in order to fulfil a contract to assassinate the Greek Titan Lapetus. Designed to kill immortals, it possesses the power to increase its user's strength, and having a mind of its own, it can sometimes take control of its user's actions. It can release devastating energy blasts, and shapeshift into whatever suits the user's needs, but its primary power is being able to match any force that has been thrown at it, and unleash it back with double the power.

**Optional Equipment:** A jetpack/thruster packs and a power dampener

**Intelligence:** Genius (Despite all of his enhanced physical attributes and healing, Slade's real superpower is his intellect. His strategic genius is arguably superior to Batman. Outsmarted Batman on multiple occasions. Easily saw through a Teen Titan's trap that uses Djinn's magic and had help from Jericho. Batman doesn't even try to understand his real motives. Figured out the true person that sent out Damian Wayne's fake blood test results, while even Batman couldn't. Has eidetic memory, remembered a guy he saw for three seconds a decade ago. Nonchalantly figured out Batman's identity and sneaked up on him, putting a gun to his face. Managed to tap into the Speed Force gaining superspeed, but later lost it after gaining a higher consciousness)

**Weaknesses:** He is half blind due to having his right eye shot out before he received his healing factor. Due to him having an Ikon Suit prototype, his left arm isn't fully covered.

**Feats:** Respect Threads

**Key:** **Base** | **Godkiller**
