The next villain on my list of villains to analyze is one of my personal favorites. This Villain is the world's most deadly assassin, his name is Slade Wilson, but he he is more commonly referred to as "Deathstroke". Slade Wilson was originally soldier, he enlisted in US army at the age of 16, and began his training them. Slade quickly mastered every fighting style and task assigned to him. He quickly rose through the ranks of the US military, and eventually he became a test subject for the US armies program to create metahuman supersoldiers. Much like Captain America this project gave Slade Super-human reflexes, strength, endurance, a healing factor, and many other powers. Slade eventually started using his powers as a mercenary (in secret of course), and that is when he took up the name of Deathstroke. Although Deathstroke may not seem to have any romantic values or ties again that is wrong.
One romantic value that Deathstroke has is the deep emotional struggle that goes on within him. This emotional struggle has to do with the fact that Deathstroke was the cause of his son's muteness, and the break up of his family. Both of these things caused Slade a lot of physical pain, for example due to Slade causing his son's muteness, his wife promptly tried to kill Slade. She obviously did not succeed, but she did premaritally destroy Slades right eye. It is never stated why Slade's healing factor did not heal his eye, but most theories state that it is due to the emotional pain of what he did to his family. Another romantic value Deathstroke has is the fact that he sometimes sways between being a Villain, and being an anti-hero. Anti-hero's first started to appear in literature in the Romantic era, thus Anti-hero's are considered a romantic value. Deathstroke is far superior to the Marvel anti-hero rip off of Slade known as Deadpool. If you are interested in seeing the romantic values in Dead click HERE!
