Biography

Origin

Slade Wilson

He enlisted in the United States army where he was noted for being a legend among the ranks. Wilson was later sent on a special training exercise at Camp Washington with the project being overseen by Captain Adeline Kane. Kane served as a trainer with Slade having to go through rigorous training which saw half the candidates wash out within the first three weeks. Those that remained became highly skilled with Wilson being the best among them but even then he proved to be outfought by Adeline Kane. Their time together led to the two falling in love and after he graduated from the training the pair got married before the end of the year. Adeline became pregnant with their first child Grant Wilson when Slade himself was deployed to fight in a war. He then volunteered when the army was looking for recruits for a new serum based on an A.C.T.H. derivative which resulted in him gaining superhuman enhancements over existing physical traits. Wilson had to be restrained as a result of the reaction to the serum with the event being classified by the military as he fell into a near-death state. It took Wintergreen and Adeline months of fighting through red tape before they finally see him and he remained in this condition for weeks before recovering. He was then released where he returned home and recuperated with Adeline becoming pregnant again with their second son Joseph.) (Deathstroke the Terminator v1 #1)
