Why does deathstroke look like slade

Spoilers ahead for Justice League It's an exciting development for the character that's been a long time coming. As the sharp-eyed Green Arrow immediately deduces, however, this is not the Slade Wilson Deathstroke. With Deathstroke Inc.

It certainly seems likely, which could have major implications for the team going forward. Is Deathstroke someone we can root for? How does he react to his new position with T. You should not root for Deathstroke. He has tried to walk the line of being a hero many times and it just never works out. This book is about that. He is not someone who should lead a good life. What does he do when he finally realizes that? So, I wanted to pick it up right there and keep going forward with it.

Now when T. It allows us to throw Deathstroke into a new path that embraces the villain side of himself. Speaking of T. Anything you can tease about them? There you get the first introduction to T. They claim to be ages old organization that always operated in secret and now believe the best way to solve problems is to throw money at them.

Black Canary is an unusual partner for Deathstroke. That makes him a unique character in that respect. On top of his honor, Slade's also got an entire family to worry about—one that keeps him squarely in the "it's complicated" category with the Titans. Not only are both his son and daughter, Joey and Rose, on-again-off-again members of the team, his entire rivalry with them is based around his sense of duty to his son who died trying to become him.

It's all pretty rough, even for an antihero origin story, and one that could almost make him a sort of reverse-Batman. A man obsessed with avenging the life of his own child in all the worst ways, rather than someone obsessed with avenging his parents in all the best.

Of course, Slade's isn't the only soldier of fortune prowling the streets of places like Gotham and Metropolis. It gives him a unique flavor, to be sure, but there's more to a memorable villain or a sympathetic antihero. He's gotta look good too. Of course, a consistent look doesn't mean he's a stagnant character. Slade's flexibility has afforded him his longevity as much as his iconic outfit has. There's room to move as far as Deathstroke's motivation and tone are concerned.
