DC Adaptations Keep Forgetting a Key Part of Deathstroke’s Origin

Deathstroke is one of the most iconic DC supervillains, with the occasional antihero usually having a bone to pick with the Teen Titans. Ever since he debuted fighting that team, he’s gone on to face several other opponents across the DC Universe. This has afforded him a role across various adaptations, though most of these get a huge part of his backstory incorrect.Deathstroke’s alter ego Slade Wilson is known for boasting white hair, with this trait being passed down to his daughter. Despite what some adaptations suggest, however, this isn’t due to old age. It may seem like a small rule to break, but it actually changes a lot in terms of how Slade is portrayed.Slade Wilson/Deathstroke was created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, debuting in The New Teen Titans #2. His backstory involved him joining the military at a young age, where he quickly proved himself to be an adept soldier and superb killing machine. This drew the attention of his superior office Adeline Kane, who taught him even more special missions techniques and fell in love with him. After the birth of their first son Grant, Slade would undergo an experiment meant to create a line of metahuman super-soldiers. It greatly increased his strength, speed and healing factor, all while turning his hair a shimmering white. Using his newfound abilities, he became the mercenary known as Deathstroke the Terminator.RELATED: Titans #2 Changes the Team’s History In the Worst Way PossibleRELATED: World’s Finest: Teen Titans Sets the Stage for Roy Harper’s Darkest Moment
