They soon had their first son who later became the first Ravenger. Wiz: Slade and Adeline developed feelings for each other and Eventully got married. Slade easily impressed her, so much so that he was bumped up to Lieutenant.

This was noticed by the army leader (don't know what rank) named Adeline King, who is later his future wife. Wiz: Slade quickly became better than literally EVERYONE at the camp. Wiz: Ever since he was a boy, Slade Wilson wanted to be in the military. I'm wiz and he's Boomstick, and it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor & skills to see who'd win a death battle.

Instead of abandoning the idea, the creators decided to lean into it. Deadpool would come a decade later, when Nicieza told Liefeld his new character was too similar to Deathstroke. The character has also appeared in CW's Arrow, played by Manu Bennett.ĭeathstroke was introduced to the DC universe in 1980 in New Teen Titans No. But who would play the villain?

One indication: Warner Bros., which owns DC Films, is, according to multiple reports, looking for a director for a Deathstroke solo film. Imagine, then, how DC must have felt when their near carbon copy became the enormously popular hit film, Deadpool, starring Ryan Reynolds?
