## His Cool and Evil Rankings

### What Makes Him a Guile Villain?

* While the characters in the show detest him due to his crimes, Slade is able to plan his crimes out perfectly.
* He seemingly tries to communicate with Beast Boy and convinces him to move on with his life if Terra rejected him.
* Even though it was for selfish reasons, he briefly teamed up with the Titans to defeat Trigon.
* Although he lacks comedic moments, Slade is still a mastermind who can easily manipulate people into suffering from his crimes.

### What Makes Him Evil?

* He encourages and sends criminals to commit crimes for the sole purpose of getting Robin's attention and he disguises himself as a Japanese sorcerer and manipulates Thunder and Lightning into constructing a giant fire monster and sending it into the city to try and burn it to the ground.
* He activates the microscopic bots inside the Titans' bodies to threaten Robin into compliance.
* He uses his robotic army to take over Jump City, turning the city into a desolate wasteland.

* He tries to make Titan Tower sink into the ocean.
* He manipulates Terra into becoming his apprentice, which she was forced to betray the Titans into joining his side.
* He viciously beats Terra when she refuses to fight the Titans. His beatings were brutal enough that parts of Terra's armor were torn off.
* As a ghost, he lies to Robin by saying he placed explosive generators around the city that would break it in half in 3 hours, then beats him to near death to the point where he begs him to stop for the first time. He also causes Robin to almost hurt the Titans when they try to tell him that Slade and the generators he placed aren't there.
* He actively plays a role in helping Trigon kill all of humanity. He escorts Raven to the altar where she would become the portal for Trigon to arrive on Earth and destroy it afterwards.
