Lying about his age to enlist in the U.S. Army, Slade Wilson distinguished himself early in combat to become the military's youngest decorated soldier.

Trained in special services combat, Wilson volunteered for a military medical experiment designed to increase resistance to truth serums. The experiment appeared to have failed when it had the side effect of crippling the subject. After months of hospitalization Wilson's condition changed for the better and he gained enhanced abilities of both mind and body, but he was not allowed to go back to active duty due to his unstable condition.

He later worked for the Government, only this time as an agent for Checkmate. He is well known for being the archenemy of the Teen Titans and has clashed with them on a number of occasions.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

  • Enhanced Immunity: Deathstroke's regenerative abilities have some affect on his body's ability to process through harmful, foreign substances and he has become naturally immune to deadly poisons and illnesses.
  • Retarded Aging: An important aspect to note is that while Deathstroke is apparently aging, he does so very slowly, appearing younger than he actually is. One revival actually caused a reversal of age, however, this has yet to be seen again and the affects were eventually reversed by another return from death.

Abilities

Appearance

Deathstroke never appeared in the Super Friends series but he was considered for the toyline, but his action figure was never made, since the toyline was canceled.

Notes

Deathstroke made his first appearance in The New Teen Titans # 2 (December 1980).[1]
