Picture [if available]:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Super Powers: Slade is enhanced due to a military procedure making him almost superhuman.
Enhanced mind: Able to utilize 90 of his brain's potential capacity for information processing and sorting, Deathstroke's mind is virtually a computer built for strategy and problem-solving, one that works at optimal ability even when under stress and fatigue. Using his superior problem-solving skills, Deathstroke can work out a battle ahead of time in its infinite possibilities and predict enemy movements and tactics after the battle has engaged by recalling and utilizing memorized mannerisms acquired through past experience on a moment's notice. He is also ingenious in devising solutions against superior aspects of opponents, can observe and exploit, and can calculate distance, speed, and time at lightning speeds; his sense of timing is superb, bordering on perfection.
Superhuman reflexes: The speed at which he reacts allows him to dodge fast-moving projectiles such as arrows and bullets
Enhanced Strength: His entire muscular system was hardened and strengthened, allowing Deathstroke to be as strong as 10 men.
Enhanced endurance/speed: Ability to run long distances far out-performs any Olympic athlete.
Flexibility: Tendons and ligaments have been simultaneously stretched and strengthened, allowing him incredible flexibility in addition to his ability to dismantle and reset his limbs.
Enhanced Senses: Deathstroke's senses have been augmented to higher levels of ability.He can hear,see,and smell things better then regular human senses.
Hearing: can hear things clearer and farther away than a normal human is capable of
Vision: Sees better then any athlete.
Regenerative healing factor: With an enhanced ability to repair damaged tissue, the rate at which Deathstroke's body recovers from injury has been substantially increased as well as the severity capable of being repaired before death. As such, Deathstroke's body can take a tremendous amount of punishment before succumbing to death. Simple gunshot and stab wounds, cuts, and broken bones can mend in minutes; mortal wounds that aren't immediately fatal can heal in hours. Deathstroke, however, can only repair limbs and organs, not regenerate them. If a limb or organ (such as an eye) is completely removed, it's gone for good.
Resistance: Deathstroke's regenerative abilities have some affect on his body's ability to process through harmful, foreign substances and he has become naturally resistant 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.
Learned Abilities: Masterful TacticianSlade is most likely the greatest strategist and tactician on the planet always calculating his opponents moves before hand he even single handedly defeated the entire JLA roster except for green arrow.he has been compared to batman in terms of tactical methods.Even against metahumans he has proved mre than a match for them all at once.
Expert Combatant: expertly trained in hand-to-hand combat.While Slade was in the Army he received Martial arts trainin thorught Boxing,Jui Jitsu and Karate.After mastering these Martial arts He furthereed his studies when he seeked an assasin known as natas to train him in the ways of the Ninja and Assasination techniques after this he became the man known as Deathstroke.
Equipment: Promethium power staff Consisting of advanced metallurgy processing and alloy technology, Slade's staff is lightweight and perfectly balanced for optimal use. Requiring a minimum of 10 tons (20,000 lbs) of pressure before even bending, it would require strength on par with Wonder Woman to outright snap, is resistant to extreme heat, and because it is non-ferrous, incapable of being affected by magnetism.
When fully extended, the staff is approximately six feet in length; at its most compact, it is approximately fourteen inches. To call it simply collapsible however, is a misnomer as Slade can use it at any length between fourteen inches and six feet he wishes. For example, at four feet in length, the staff becomes a jo, which, though shorter, is an arguably more versatile weapon than the bo staff. At three feet, the staff is essentially the same length as a sword and can therefore be used in the same manner, albeit edgeless. At its minimum length, the staff is capable of being used as a simple club or escrima stick.
At either end of the staff is an extra durable, compact energy emitter capable of projecting two different forms of microwave energy at various intensities; both emitters can be used at any length the staff is set to. In its first form, the one-foot diameter energy beam works as heat energy, capable of reaching temperatures at an upwards of 3500 degrees Fahrenheit in a little less than a single second and can thus burn through most metals. The energy beam's second form removes any heat generation and instead becomes a beam of concussive force, capable of a slight push or blowing a hole through concrete barriers. Either end has a maximum range of one hundred feet and can remain activated continuously for approximately fifteen minutes before needing to be recharged.
The staff has built-in fail safes and security devices designed to keep anyone other than Deathstroke from using it. The gloves of Slade's uniform have built-in sensors the staff's electronics recognize that allow him to utilize the staff freely; otherwise, fingerprint identification from Slade is required in order to properly activate it.
-Artificial eye with infrared capabilities
-Long barrel Colt .45
-Two .44 Magnums
-Combat and survival knives
-Has access to a vast armory of guns, bladed weapons and explosives
Weaknesses (Must Have): Deathstroke has strong sense of morals, sometimes even turn down jobs that go against them. Also he is extremely dedicated to his family and people close to him. He will gladly put his life on the line to protect them. Finally, Deathstroke has a hard time expressing his emotions, making him a horrible father and husband.
Background: Accompanied by his assistant Wintergreen, whose life he had saved in the army, Slade has attempted to kill the New Teen Titans numerous times. He blames the Titans for his son Jericho's death. In the past he has also used both Terra and H.I.V.E. against the Titans.
Imbued with amazing physical prowess by secret army experiments, Deathstroke the Terminator (called "Terminator" for most of his published existence) also has an amazing healing factor which can regenerate his body, even from death. He is also a crack marksman and skilled hand-to-hand combatant, and is willing to fight dirty when necessary.
However, he kept this career secret from his family, even though his wife was an expert military combat instructor, until a criminal kidnapped his younger son, Joseph, as a hostage to force Slade to divulge some secret information. Slade refused to do so, and attacked and killed the kidnappers at the rendezvous. Unfortunately, Joseph's throat was slashed by one of the criminals before Slade could prevent it, destroying his vocal cords and rendering him mute. After taking Joseph to the hospital, Slade's wife, enraged at his endangerment of her son, tried to kill Slade by shooting him, but only managed to destroy his right eye. Afterward, his confidence in his physical abilities was such that he made no secret of his impaired vision, marked by his mask which has a black featureless half covering his lost eye.
Slade has a long history as an enemy of the Teen Titans, beginning when his other son, Grant, became an early Titans foe called the Ravager who was physically enhanced to fulfill a contract to kill or capture the Teen Titans. However, those enhancements proved fatal and Slade agreed to complete the contract. As a result, he attacked the Titans continually and finally succeeded in capturing them by introducing Terra into the team as a spy. At the end of this plot, Slade was defeated and captured with the help of Joseph, who joined the team as Jericho. Despite their enmity, he has grudgingly worked alongside the Titans on occasion, usually to battle a greater evil. He also teamed up with the Justice League to foil an invasion of Earth by Warworld.
After the deaths of Joseph and Grant, Slade went on multiple suicide missions, trying to expatiate his guilt.
In Titans issue twelve, his wife was killed by Koriand'r, aka Starfire of the Teen Titans. Adeline had previously been given Slade's blood, giving her his regenerative abilities, but after Adeline's throat was slit by Vandal Savage, Starfire blasted her with a starbolt, disintegrating her completely.
Deathstroke was eventually forced to kill Jericho after his possession by the tainted souls of Azarath. Recently it was revealed that Jericho managed to transfer his consciousness into Deathstroke in the instant before his death. Taking control of his father, Jericho launched a series of attacks against the current Teen Titans, most notably shattering Impulse's knee with a shotgun blast, before leaving his father's body. Deathstroke has since manipulated his one remaining child, Rose Wilson, into the mercenary business as the new Ravager, in order to find and kill Jericho.
In Identity Crisis, Deathstroke was enlisted as a bodyguard for Doctor Light, who was being chased by the Justice League. In the ensuing battle, Deathstroke nearly beat the team of Elongated Man, the Flash, Zatanna, Hawkman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, The Atom, and Green Lantern. He systematically took out every member except for Rayner (due to an attempt to use Rayner's power ring) and lost his edge in the battle when Green Arrow stuck an arrow in Deathstroke's missing eye. He still escaped with Dr. Light and has sworn revenge against Green Arrow and the League.
Deathstroke is currently a founding member of Lex Luthor's Secret Society of Super Villains in the Infinite Crisis storyline. He was seen in Infinite Crisis #1, hiding in a warehouse south of Metropolis waiting to ambush the Freedom Fighters with several other members. The battle didn't last long, and by the end Deathstroke had impaled Phantom Lady through the chest, calling his action "Just business."
He is also currently the employer of a supposedly undercover Nightwing, whom he's hired to train his daughter Rose.
Deathstroke was the founder of Titans East. He made a deal with Inertia, providing the young speedster with Velocity 9 in exchange for joining the team.
Personality : Slade Wilson is a very complicated man. He is a man of honor who operates under a strict code of ethics, yet his sense of morality is flawed. Slade is a man who believes in using deadly force, and at times has acted as judge, jury and executioner for those he deems without honor or worth. Slade is, however, particular about the jobs he chooses, often turning down jobs that would compromise his personal moral compass, such as it is. In some occasions, Slade has fought on the side of angels merely because he believed in the cause. Other times, he has taken cases and committed acts other heroes would be disgusted by.
Slade, however, is a man capable of extreme devotion, whether it is to his family, friends or ex-lovers. He has always sought to protect those who have been close to them, and would not hesitate to lay down his life in exchange for theirs. His greatest tragedies have been his inability to prevent the destruction of those who have loved him. The death of his sons and ex-wife continue to haunt Slade. He is tortured by his helplessness to have saved them.
Slade is also a man who has a hard time expressing his feelings. His lack of expression made him neither a good father or husband. At times, he has distanced himself from those he loved for their own protection. On separate occasions, he curtly cut ties with Rose Wilson, his daughter, and Pat Trayce, his lover, in a effort "save" them from his way of life.
Despite his recent changes, Slade remains a man of mystery. Whether he will walk the side of angels or take the path to hell remains to be seen. You never know quite what to expect from him... And he would have it no other way.

Brief Sample Roleplay
Somewhere in the United States
Deathstroke stood in the middle of the room, wearing his full battle outfit. He waited quietly in the large and apparently empty room. It was his personal little training room. He had a few of them installed in some of his safe houses scattered throughout the world. It was a slight indulgence of the large amounts of money his mercenary operations brought in. He didnt really think he needed any training, but it did help him think, getting his mind going. The multitasking seemed to help him get his thoughts in order.
In an instant the program started. Flamethrowers sprung from the walls and spewed fire out at him. Arrows shot through the air towards him. Slade nimbly leaped over the wall of flames and with a swipe from his sword shattered the incoming projectiles. He landed on the ground in a crouch, rolling forward as he felt the floor beneath him begin to give away, a hidden trap door falling open.
As he maneuvered against the automated defenses, his thoughts went to recent events, to those he would have to take revenge on. There was the Justice League who had narrowly managed to beat him when he was protecting Dr. Light. Of course now it appeared the League was broken up, or at least a shell of what it was. Without Superman around it wouldnt be too hard to accomplish, not that taking out Superman himself would have been a problem.
