Imbued with amazing physical prowess by secret army experiments, he also has an amazing healing factor which can regenerate his body, even from death. He is also a crack marksman and skilled hand-to-hand combatant, and is willing to fight dirty when necessary.

However, he kept this career secret from his family, even though his wife was a crack military combat instructor, until a criminal kidnapped his younger son, Joseph, as a hostage to force Slade to divulge some secret information. Slade refused to do so and attacked and killed the kidnappers at the rendezvous. Unfortunately, Joseph's throat was slashed by one of the criminals before Slade could prevent it, destroying his vocal cords and rendering him mute. After taking Joseph to the hospital, Slade's wife, enraged at his endangerment of her son, tried to kill Slade by shooting him, but only managed to destroy one of his eyes. Afterward, his confidence in his physical abilities was such that he made no secret of his impaired vision, marked by his mask which has a black featureless half covering his lost eye. The vocal cords, also known as vocal folds, are composed of twin infoldings of mucous membrane stretched horizontally across the human larynx. ...

Slade has a long history as an enemy of the Teen Titans, beginning when his other son, Grant, became an early Titans foe called the Ravager who was physically enhanced to fulfil a contract to kill or capture the Teen Titans. However, those enhancements proved fatal and Slade agreed to complete the contract. As a result, he attacked the Titans continually and finally succeeded in capturing them by introducing Terra into the team as a spy. At the end of this plot, Slade was defeated and captured with the help of Joseph, who joined the team as Jericho. Despite their enmity, he has grudgingly worked alongside the Titans on occasion, usually to battle a greater evil. Terra is a DC Comics supervillain. ...

Deathstroke was eventually forced to kill Jericho after his possession by the tainted souls of Azarath.

In The Animated Series

The character appears as a recurring villain in the Teen Titans animated series as a mysterious criminal mastermind known only as Slade (voiced in an eerie monotone by Ron Perlman). The new Slade seems to have a very loose relation to the previous incarnations of the character. His true identity and origins have not been explored in the series, but his obsession with Robin has led some to believe that he is Batman. This has, however, been flat-out denied by the series creators. Slade from the Teen Titans Animated Series File links The following pages link to this file: Deathstroke the Terminator ...

In Season One, he blackmailed Robin into serving him for a short time. In Season Two, he recruited Terra & had her enter the team as a spy. Unlike in the comic, she was not portrayed as full-on evil, only misguided, and in the end, took him down with a volcano triggered by her powers. She sacrificed herself in the process, while stopping it to prevent the destruction of the city, she turned into stone herself. Being (apparently) dead (he does not appear to have the same level of regenerative abilities in the animated series), he was absent for most of Season Three. He appeared in one episode, "Haunted" as an apparition in Robin's mind, set off by chemicals left over from one of his masks. It was discovered at the end of the episode that they were placed there by an unknown intruder, leaving more than a few questions to be answered.

In Season Four (episode "Birthmark"), he returns as a servant of Trigon, Raven's demonic father. He now has fire powers, a red mark on his forehead, and is apparently indestructible (so far, he's survived a broken neck and being crunched between two buildings without a scratch). His role appears to be Trigon's messenger to Raven. Many fans were disappointed at him becoming a lackey, although his tone when referring to Trigon as "master" has left many hopeful that he still has something up his own sleeve. The term Trigon may refer to several things: A three-sided ancient Greek or Roman lyre. ...
