Deathstroke (Slade Joseph Wilson) is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. He is a mercenary and assassin who serves as the archenemy of the Teen Titans, specifically Dick Grayson. Over the years, writers have developed him as an adversary of other superheroes in the DC Universe as well, such as Batman and Green Arrow.
Deathstroke has been ranked as the 24th Greatest Villain of All Time by Wizard magazine, and as the 32nd Greatest Comic Book Villain of All Time by IGN.[1][2] The character has been substantially adapted from the comics into other media, including several Batman-related projects and the Teen Titans animated series, voiced by Ron Perlman in the latter and his solo animated series, Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons, with his voice provided by Michael Chiklis. In live action, he has been portrayed by Manu Bennett on The CW's television series Arrow and Esai Morales in the second season of DC Universe series Titans. Joe Manganiello portrays the character in the DC Extended Universe, beginning with a cameo in the 2017 film Justice League.
