Deathstroke (Titansverse)

"We put them in crisis. See how they operate. Who commands. Who follows. (Dr. Light: And then?) We cull the herd. Isolate the weak. The rest comes to us."

- Deathstroke explaining the plan on how to kill the Titans to Dr. Light

Slade J. Wilson, also known as Deathstroke, is the main antagonist of the second season of the DC Universe original series, Titans.

Slade was a former Delta Force Commando and H.I.V.E. member that underwent a series of bio-enhancement experiments to become a super-soldier. Sometime later, he became an enemy of the Titans and was responsible for their disbanding, until they returned. Slade is also the father of Rose Wilson and the late Jericho.

He is portrayed by Esai Morales, who also played Amancio Malvado and Paco Moreno.

Early Life
During his days in the army, Slade had become a Major and was even a commando in the Delta Force. Afterward, he became a member of other agencies like H.I.V.E., A.R.G.U.S., and N.E.X.I.S. During his time at H.I.V.E, he underwent a series of experimental bio-enhancements that granted him with metahuman abilities. He also went on to have two children, Rose and Jericho. Sometime around 2014, he had met the Titans and later became enemies with them, which ultimately resulted in some kind of fight that left them believing him to be dead and the Titans disbanded. One year later, Slade’s son, Jericho, began to fall in with the wrong crowd, as a result, he killed him for it, which left Rose estranged from him and him to retire from his work.

End of Retirement and Titans Return
After years of retirement, Slade came to live in a cabin in the middle of a forest. He later went to a store to buy tea, until he saw a news report with Jason Todd on the news saying, “The Titans are back, Bitches.” After seeing the news report, he left the store distraught and silent. He later went to his old mansion in San Francisco where he was received by his assistant, Billy Wintergreen. They then entered a secure room where a mass amount of weapons and an advanced armored suit were being held, with Wintergreen wondering if they were back in business.

Slade later went to San Quentin State Prison to break Arthur Light out and recruit him in his quest to take out the Titans. When he got the prison, he killed many guards there, before releasing Light from his cell. Before taking Light back to his mansion, he carefully planned out their next move, waiting to learn about the newly-formed Titans before they make them all suffer. After Light was caught by Jason Todd siphoning power in a San Francisco train tunnel, Deathstroke provided backup, taking Robin from the scene
