Slade Wilson

## Deathstroke

**Slade Joseph Wilson**, also known as "**Deathstroke**", is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *MDC's* *Transformer Titans* series created by Sam Register and Bob Haney. He is a mercenary and assassin.

Of former military status, subject of a failed medical experiment, he has since taken up work as a mercenary, armed with multiple weapons, and considered expert with edged weapons, firearms and explosives.

His augmentations, coupled with his mastery of hand-to-hand combat make him a formidable opponent.

Slade was an accomplished member of the special forces. This distinction earned him admittance into a covert program where he was subjected to extensive mental and physical augmentation.

The procedures left him with increased mental function, as well as enhanced speed, strength, and stamina.

Following his military service, Slade worked for various private military contractors before striking out on his own – and allegedly becoming one of the highest paid contract killers in the world, specializing in high profile assassinations.

"*When a man earns my respect that means I do not rest, I devote all my energy, everything I have, to killing him!*"

—Deathstroke, to Batman and Captain America.

## Personality

Known by reputation as "The World's Greatest Assassin", Slade Wilson is a consummate professional, jaded by the work he does and attracted towards a contract basis, especially jobs that regard Batman - whom after beating him once, is dedicated to a rematch and finally defeating his rival. He feels a personal obligation to complete a job but is too pragmatic and professional to let a job become a personal matter.

He fully admits that he only does his work if he is positive, he will receive compensation and because of this did not attack Batman while imprisoned in Blackgate as the Joker had no means of paying him. Despite his assassin lifestyle, Slade does have a sense of honor and follows a warriors code, no matter how warped it is, specifically he will grant his opponents a quick death in battle. A heavy flaw he did possess was that Slade could be too arrogant and overconfident regarding his own abilities.

Having killed all of the men he fought; he believed Batman would simply be an easy target. It was likely this hubris that was a factor of his defeat and he seemed to have learnt his lesson in Arkham Knight as he appears less arrogant but still rather boastful about his war stories which he told Batman repeatedly. It was likely that these many past victories which caused his arrogance. As a result of being defeated a second time by Batman, Slade appears to have hypocritically forgotten his own code of not becoming personally involved in a job and becomes obsessive of finally killing Batman, claiming he would not need payment and would "do it for free".
