Deathstroke Origin - A Retired Army Veteran Turned Into Comic Book History's Deadliest Assassin

Deathstroke has been a fan favorite D.C. supervillain for quite some time now, but he has not received his fair share of attention and depictions in the D.C. Animated Universe or the D.C. Extended Universe. I mean, this guy is almost a meta human-like Wonder Woman and Flash, his brain works at ninety percent capacity, and his reflexes are nine times faster than an average human.

Despite all these qualities, his origin and backstory are full of ups and downs. No matter what, Deathstroke is a character that aces at blurring the line between good and evil, black and white. I mean, if we are to believe more recent story arcs such as Batman: The Adventures Continue #3, he did initially seem like a good guy, even helping Batman and Robin fight Clayface. So, let’s explore this dark supervillain and deep dive into his history, his operations, and intentions. 0:00 Intro 1:32 Deathstroke’s First Appearance In Comic 4:02 The Origin Of Deathstroke 8:34 Deathstroke Story In Titans T.V. series 10:40 Interesting Storyline of Deathstroke In Arrowverse? 12:25 What Makes Deathstroke So Deadly? 14:40 Insane Versions Of Deathstroke In Various Forms Of Media 15:05 Animated Shows 16:07 Live-Action Shows
