Deathstroke (real name Slade Joseph Wilson) is a fictional supervillain, and sometimes a reluctant antihero, who appears in comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. He is a mercenary and assassin who first appeared in ''The New Teen Titans'' (vol. 1) #2 (1980). ''Wizard'' magazine rated him the 24th greatest villain of all time and the 32nd greatest comic book character of all time.〔''Wizard'' #177〕 Also, in 2009, Deathstroke was ranked as IGN's 32nd greatest comic book villain of all time.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Deathstroke is number 32 )〕 Originally a villain for the Teen Titans, writers have developed him over the years as an antagonist for older heroes such as Batman and Green Arrow as well. Parallels have been established between him and the Dark Knight, and he has an ever increasing grudge against the Emerald Archer. Him being the Titans' archenemy is shown as he served as the main antagonist in the ''Teen Titans'' animated series. His role as a major recurring villain for Batman is reflected by his prominence in ''Batman'' video games and animated films, while his rivalry with Green Arrow is shown in the ''Arrow'' television series, where Deathstroke serves as one of his deadliest enemies, portrayed by actor Manu Bennett. ==Publication history== Deathstroke the Terminator first appeared in 1980, in the second issue of the book ''New Teen Titans''. He was originally introduced as "the Terminator", a mercenary who was completing the terms of a contract undertaken by his son Ravager. Due to his popularity, Deathstroke received his own series, ''Deathstroke the Terminator'', in 1991. It was retitled ''Deathstroke the Hunted'' for issues #0 and #41-45; and then simply ''Deathstroke'' for issues #46-60. The series was cancelled with issue #60. In total, ''Deathstroke'' ran for 65 issues (#1-60, plus 4 annuals and a special #0 issue). Following his injury in ''DC Universe: Last Will and Testament'', Deathstroke appears in one of the four ''Faces of Evil'' one-shots, written by David Hine. Hine has explained that the series is part of the set-up for future stories: "All of the characters in this ‘Faces of Evil’ series were selected for their potential as major players in the coming year." Even though the character of Deathstroke the Terminator predates James Cameron's film ''The Terminator'' by four years, the Slade Wilson character is now simply called Deathstroke, even by characters who had called him Terminator for decades. The full title has not completely fallen out of use, having been referenced as recently as ''Justice League Elite''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deathstroke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
