ok but. can anyone explain the “slade wilson” thing to me. because correct me if i’m wrong but based on everything i can find he is The Most irredeemable bastard ever to besmirch the already-dubious pages of comic book morality
like, fanon is as valid as canon when it comes to DC comics, we all know this, but just. look okay, here are my notes on him as he appears in canon:
deathstroke, aka slade wilson: wow bootlicker. okay
while actively fighting in the vietnam war, volunteered for experimental army program, reapplied to keep fighting after he eventually woke up from the coma it sent him into (“it gave me super strength tho officer”) & was depressed by the Lack Of Purpose he felt after he was denied the honour of fighting. in fuckin vietnam.
(VIETNAM. THIS MAN IS ALREADY AN IMPERIALIST WAR CRIMINAL AND THAT’S HIS PRE-VILLAIN STORY)
wife adeline kane, also an army general, privately trained him in guerilla warfare (this is fine) & they then got married. she got pregnant, he went to vietnam, baby grant was born; he came back (super-soldier-serumed up), she got pregnant, baby joey was born
after he got kicked out of the military he decided to satisfy his thirst for blood by becoming a “world famous safari hunter” (by day; by night he killed people) until some of the enemies he made broke into adeline’s house & kidnapped joey. kidnapper (“the jackal”) demanded some info on a client of slade’s, he refused bc he figured he could get to his kid in time (and everyone knows the US doesn’t negotiate) and was incorrect: joey’s throat got slashed, wrecking his vocal cords for good. adeline was so angry he’d endangered their son that she shot him in the face, which is how he lost his eye
(he learned nothing from this experience)
in conclusion: this man is a bastard with exactly zero redeeming characteristics. i hope he goes to he*k
he’s also. not a good dad. idk if “got his child’s throat slashed with his arrogance” doesn’t tell u what’s up but how about deliberately getting ur daughter’s adoptive family murdered so u can groom her into an assassin & pump her full of psychoactive drugs without her knowledge or consent? how’s that for fatherhood
i do love his kids tho, don’t get me wrong. he just, very evidently does Not. supplemental notes on Those fucked up relationships below the cut (bc i have a Lot to say about this):
rose wilson:
mom = prostitute (half-siblings with Joey [later aka Jericho] and Grant, both of whom die offscreen due to see below)
was discovered by an enemy of deathstroke when said enemy was off killing the extended deathstroke family. hostage situation, yadda yadda, slade won’t touch her bc his sons just died for someone else’s vendetta & “I’m Too Dangerous To Be Around” syndrome
but then like a year later he. anonymously hired The Same Guy to kill Rose’s adopted family. for bonding.
This Seems Like A Fun Dynamic
kidnaps her (“you’re all i have left”), manipulates her into murdering the guy He Secretly Hired & takes her on as his apprentice (Rose adopts username Ravager)
deathstroke secretly starts injecting her with performance-enhancing drugs that cause her to experience psychosis
Tries to force her to kill her half-bro Jericho (also Slade’s kid) while he (in evil undead ghost form) was possessing the body of her friend (ur kid, ur other kid, who is the first kid’s half-bro and also currently ur kid’s friend? that’s Four strikes At Once my dude)
she does not do so, because she is a human child
*but* to prove that she’s still loyal, she carves out one of her eyes. to match slade.
i am really struggling to see how ppl consider this man redeemable
anyway slade gives her a kryptonite eye prosthetic and tells her to kill superman
dick (who’s pretending to be evil at the time & is acting as rose’s caretaker bc dad can’t be bothered) talks her down and also lets her know that kryptonite is carcinogenic/radioactive
she is furious & finally cuts ties w slade
joins titans under tim’s leadership, bonds w kid devil in particular & shows herself to be brash & aggressive to compensate for transparent insecurity. Wonder Girl (cassie i think) is also in her corner
eventually ends up also bonding w damian. shared assassin trauma ig
oh yeah rose is psychic. btw. that’s a thing she can do
 precognitive w/ visions & dreams
dramatic titans showdown (raven is on the run with a USB stick that has a dead half-brother on it; accuses team of having a traitor, yada yadda, traitor turns out to be bombshell)
results in the resurrection of Rose’s previously undead (ghost-flavour) half-brother, Jericho, aka Joseph, aka Joey.
They’re friends <3
anyway now if u want to write rose &/or joey wilson content here, u now have some canon-sourced footnotes to kick off of. please write rose & joey content. i am desperate for some sympathetic depictions of these poor siblings that also fully punish slade for his whole odious deal, that’s my wish fulfillment and i have too much chronic illness to write it myself (i am Once Again Asking for extremely specific fandom content that is not created by me)
#slade wilson#rose wilson#hello? am i wrong? is there something i'm missing abt vietnam veteran kryptonite-eye-providing serial manipulator of children over here#i have read sympathetic slade content that has been very fun and well crafted (& written by someone who has never consumed the comix)#but like. for those familiar with canon. why#why should i care about this odious white man. do we not have enough morally dubious neglectful parental figures already in DC#tbh i think the thing that makes this so upsetting for me isn't even the part where he had rose's adopted family killed to manipulate her#or the part where he knowingly installed a carcinogenic substance into her face#or the part where he routinely drugged her without her consent to make her a more effective assassin at the expense of her sanity#tho honestly setting it all out like that. yeah no it's all of those things too#but what really gets my back up is that this man's whole *thing* is that he was a *volunteer* who was so enthusiastic abt fighting in the#fucking VIETNAM WAR (possibly the most well-publicized act of military atrocity perpetrated by america in living memory)#that he volunteered for a testing program on the off chance it would - what. make him better at killing vietnamese civilians i guess?#and *this* is the man everyone treats as ''morally grey''. not bane not harvey dent not nyssa al ghul#you want a morally grey unbeatable assassin reluctant parental figure? lady shiva is RIGHT THERE#i also want a fic where carolyn (her sister) gets resurrected (bc she should never have been killed off in the first place)#(and also where the fact that sandra was coercively raped by david cain is acknowledged. can we please. acknowledge that)#(''i agreed to bear his child in exchange for him sparing my life'' this woman was raped. cassandra was the result. that's CANON)#i want more content for my female faves and less for the bootlicker men of canon is that So much to ask#anyway sorry didn't mean to rant in the tags. all fans are valid as long as they're not hurting real people & i don't mean to hate on u if#u create/created slade wilson fan content. i personally think he's odious and hateful in every conceivable way & tbh#the whole Vietnam Vet thing makes slade apologism tread too close to real life american imperialist apologism imo#but like. esp if u aren't familiar with him in canon. we don't have beef this is not an attack. i have beef not w u but w Slade Fkin Wilson#i want more fan content for female & minority characters like cass & babs & sandra wu & sasha ''scarlet'' no-last-name#but not stuff created out of Obligation. that's not what fandom is For yknow? i want to consume & create it bc i Love Them#and i wish more ppl knew enough to love them as much as i do. but that's not what this post is abt anyway#this post is about the abomination that is slade wilson. may his fictional memory rot into perpetual obscurity#dc comics#linden's originals#hate crimes in the funny pages
