MK vs DCU info #20: Deathstroke



Slade Wilson was given enhanced abilities as part of a military experiment, and has such confidence in his skills as a mercenary and assassin that his chosen costume highlights the fact that he only has one eye. Adept at both sword and gunplay, his superhuman physical abilities are matched by his tactical genius and his facility for manipulating both allies and enemies alike.

Powers and abilities

While serving in Vietnam, mercenary Slade Wilson was injected with a special serum that was supposed to give him immunity to truth serums; instead it increased his strength, speed, endurance, agility, intellect, and senses to superhuman levels, as well as granting the powers of regeneration.

Deathstroke has the capacity to use up to 90% of his brain at any one time making him a tactical genius, adept at turning opponents' own abilities against them; this can also be attributed to his years in the military and combat with various heroes. Deathstroke also possesses a healing factor in his blood that enables him to heal from physical injury much faster than a normal person; it does have limitations as he could not heal his eye and cannot regenerate entire limbs. This enables him to recover from what would otherwise be fatal injuries, though recovering from such injuries renders him insane and animalistic for a short period.

Signature Moves

Flash Bomb: Deathstroke throws a flash grenade that blinds the opponent. It can be thrown in place or at a distance.

Lunging Stab: Deathstroke takes his sword and lunges at his opponent, stabbing them in the gut.

Stomach Stab: Deathstroke takes out his knife and stabs the opponent in the gut. He then follows up with a kick. The type of kick depends upon if an attack button is pressed and which button is pressed.

Pistol Shot: Deathstroke fires at his opponent with his gun.

Fatalities

Gunshot: Slade stabs his opponent in the gut with his sword, walks away, turns around and shoots them in the head.

Neck Breaker: Slade slices his opponent with his sword causing them to fall to their knees. He then grabs their head and snaps their neck.
