Slade Wilson (Earth-203)

“*I am the thing that keeps you up at night, the evil that haunts every dark corner of your mind. I will never rest — and neither will you.*”
―Hallucination of Slade Wilson to Dick Grayson

**Slade Wilson** (also known as **Deathstroke** and **Deathstroke the Terminator**) is a ruthless criminal from the "underworld" suburbs of Jump City, California.  Slade is former military man, the ex-husband of Adeline Kane, the arch-enemy of Dick Grayson and Tara Markov, and the father of Teen Titans Ravager and Jericho. He is a dangerous meta-human with regenerative healing factor and enhanced abilities

## History

Slade Wilson was born into the Wilsons, a family with military background and best friends with William Wintergreen, a fellow Imperial cadet. He later joined the U.S. Army, where he fell in love with his commanding officer, Adeline Kane. He volunteered to be injected with a super soldier serum the military was designing. Both Adeline and William protested to this idea, but they could not change his mind because by the time Slade wanted to back out, it was no longer an option. After being injected, he was given superhuman abilities. Secretly becoming the mercenary Deathstroke, he married Adeline and fathered two children with her: Rose and Jericho While Rose inherited his superhuman strength and regenerative capabilities, Jericho gained the ability to control the mind and will of others.

Angered that her husband's dangerous career as Deathstroke Jericho left in a mute and comatose state and that he was training Rose to be a mercenary like him, Adeline shot her husband in the eye. However, due to his regenerative healing factor, Slade was not killed and lost the eye. Instead, he began wearing an eye patch over it and dedicated his life to being a chess-master instead of a direct renegade.

## Powers and abilities

### Powers

* **Metahuman Physiology:** Slade Wilson was a part of the U.S. Military, during which, he was recruited by a group of scientists to being the test subject to their super soldier serum. Unfortunately, it was too late for him to pull out. Instead, the serum altered Slade's entire physiology, turning him into a meta-human. His meta-gene passed down to his children, Rose and Jericho. He has all of his comic book counterpart's powers and abilities
	+ **Superhuman strength:** Slade effortlessly held back Dick Grayson in their battles. However, Slade would purposefully lose to him while trying to test the boy's skills. He also held up against Dick's teammate, Gar Logan whenever he was in the form of a gigantic animal (Usually a predator, like a tiger or a dinosaur)
	+ **Agility:** Due to his military training and enhanced physiology, Slade has a faster and stronger agility than any other human.
	+ **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Slade has the ability to heal faster than most humans and sustain small injury that he usually bounces back from. During his fights with Dick and Gar. Instead of feeling immense pain with brute force, Slade is able to get back up again and merely grunts instead.  However, it does have its limits. His eye could not regrow. His wife shot him in a fit of rage for causing Grant's death and Joseph's disability
	+ **Enhanced endurance**
	+ **Enhanced reflexes**
	+ **Enhanced stamina**
* **Master hand-to-hand combatant:** Slade is likely one of the most experienced martial combatants in the world. Even Dick has never been able to decisively defeat him in unarmed combat. As a matter of fact, Slade was only defeated when Dick had help from his other teammates, He had managed to outgun Tara Markov when she turned on him; however, he was able to take control of her Apprentice armor, but she managed to break free and ultimately defeat him,
* **Master manipulator:** Slade was very soft-spoken and charismatic, having the ability to manipulate others to his own advantage. He is always two steps ahead of the Titans, especially with his vast resources. Slade disguised himself as an old man and tricked Thunder and Lightning to using their abilities to bring a flame monster to life. It was later revealed he only put those threats out there as a way of testing the Titans and learning their weaknesses. He manipulated events to get Dick and Tara as being his respective apprentices. He is also a great tactical leader, such as finding ways to exploit the Titans. He has also manipulated Dick into helping him get his mortal body back, albeit, while leading him to Raven as well. However, Trigon appears to be superior, as even though the demonic overlord had promised to return him to life if the madman become his herald. However, Trigon didn't intend to hold his word. It was something Slade did not see coming, because he screamed in frustration when he learned he was never going to honor their deal.
	+ **Persuasion skills:** Slade was able to persuade Tara to becoming his Apprentice. He also managed to convince Gar that Tara was happy to be a regular human girl, while also adding it was his fault that she had sacrificed herself in the first place.
* **Mastery of various weapons:** Because Slade is a mercenary and military background, he was well-versed in fighting with a variety of weapons, including a flaming sword.
	+ **Bojutsu**
	+ **Bushido**

#### Former Powers

* **Demonic Powers:** After being resurrected by Trigon, Slade was granted demonic abilities and powers, becoming his minion for a time in a way to achieve his flesh and bone once more. However, Trigon took away Slade's powers when he betrayed him, ultimately leaving him powerless.
	+ **Pyrokinesis:** One of Slade's new abilities was the ability to control or manipulate fire. He used it to subdue the Teen Titans.
	+ **High Pain Resistance:** Due to not being a living being, Slade was resistant to pain
	+ **Flight:** Slade could fly, as this was how he was able to find Dick and Raven when they were trying to hide from him.
	+ **Heat resistance:** Because of his ability to create fire, Slade was resistant to heat.
	+ **Pyrokinetic creature creation:** Slade could create fire golems and other creatures at his disposal.
	+ **Fire absorption:** He was able to absorb the flames as he continued to attack the Teen Titans.
	+ **Power transferring:** Slade was able to transfer his powers to another being.
