Hes so darn cool he needs more than one name.
So in honor of this recent revelation, we proudly present but a few of Deathstrokes career highlights.
The Judas Contract
Before Deathstroke, the Teen Titans rogues gallery was not the stuff of legends.
In his first appearance, Deathstroke was hired to steal an experimental element from STAR Labs.
Enter, Terra, a young girl with the powers to move the very Earth.
Fans immediately fell for her.
This is where Deathstrokes status as a master planner truly began.
Terra was working for him the whole time.
She had played theTitansand revealed all their secret identities to Slade Wilson.
This led to the first moment where fans realized just how dangerous Slade Wilson could be.
It was the moment he went from just another villain to legendarily awesome.
Slade was mutilatedby his own wife, who shot him in the eye after their younger boy was injured.
Ding Dong Daddy my ass.
The book was partPunisher, part Wolverine, part Sgt.
Rock…and all Slade Wilson as fans discovered just how much depth this master villain had.

Plus, it really would make a kick ass movie.
The epic saw Brainiac seize control of Warworld and lead an all out assault on Earth.
Superman and his fellow heroes were all that stood between Brainiac and world domination.
AsSupermanheaded into space, he knew he needed a man to lead the ground forces on Earth.
Imagine Joe Manganiello, fighting side by side with Henry Cavill in a cinematic adaptation of this story.
Yeah, well wait while youre in your bunk.
Let that one sink in,Deathstroke was on a mission to steal an intelligent monkeys heart.
Thats one stone cold killer, man.
God, I love comics.
In this same era, Deathstoke took on the Justice League inTitans Annual 2011by Eric Wallace and Cliff Richards.
Wilson makes even Batman lose his temper who wants to take down Deathstroke once and for all.
If you could think of anything cooler than pirate Deathstroke, we would like to hear it.
The New 52
The rebooted Deathstroke is very similar to his predecessor.
That is not to say the new Deathstroke has not had his moments to shine… Ah, but DCs recentRebirthevent changed all that.
The entire DCU is refocused and reenergized and Deathstroke is along for the ride.
This is consistently one of the best books DC is publishing.

1 The Professional

Deathstroke once Fought Wolverine to a Standstill!
In the same book, Deathstroke also defeated Colossus.
Not every character gets to kick another companys heros behinds.
