Marvel antihero, Deathstroke Explained: Who is DC's 'Terminator' Slade Wilson?
The storylines in the "Deathstroke" series - like most of the 1990s - are a little too varied and odd to explore in detail , but it's the comic where Deathstroke first met the other most gifted combatant and tactician in the DC Universe: Batman. The writers couldn't have known the prominent rivalry that was being formed at the time, but when a target brought Slade to Gotham City, his run-in with Batman showed who was truly the most skilled fighter. For those wondering: it left Batman unconscious under a broken bookshelf (although Slade was pretty bloody, too). To be fair, this was also the comic that saw Slade granted an accelerated healing factor.
<head><meta charset="UTF-8" /></head>It's here where we'll directly address the not-so-secret connection between DC's Deathstroke, an augmented, masked mercenary and Marvel's Deadpool... an augmented, masked mercenary. Around the same time that Deathstroke was getting a solo title, artist Rob Liefeld brought a design for a new character, 'Deadpool', to his "New Mutants" writer Fabian Nicieza. Now, depending on who you ask, one of two things took place: either a) Nicieza recognized the mercenary as an obvious riff on DC's Terminator, giving him the civilian name 'Wade Wilson' as a knowing nod, or b) Liefeld's inspiration was simply giving Spider-Man guns, and the rest is coincidence.
