History Characters / Deathstroke

*** Full-on defied with Bart Allen (aka Impulse/Kid Flash) whom she first met when she joined the Titans in the Post-''ComicBook/ZeroHour'' incarnation of ''ComicBook/NewTitans'' and with whom she was never shown to have bad blood at any point in time.

* [[AbusiveParents Abusive Parent]]: Slade is not the most loving father, Even putting aside how [[spoiler:he was heavily involved in the deaths of both of his sons]], you could make a case for this solely for Slade's daughter and the emotional manipulation and abuse he puts her through.

* ArchEnemy: To the Teen Titans as a whole. Now the Titans have gone through tons of Big Bads, and let's face it, Slade isn't the biggest or baddest. But he is the most persistent and most personal enemy the team has ever faced.
** Naturally, he shares a special rivalry with ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}.

* BeardOfEvil: He has one underneath that mask.
* BerserkButton:
** Don't endanger Jericho.
** ComicBook/GreenArrow pressed a major one in ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis2004'' when he stabbed him in his eye socket with one of his arrows. Though Slade had been blind in that eye for years, it was implied that [[EyeScream the eye itself was still there]] until that point.

* CannotSpitItOut: In the ComicBook/DCRebirth volume of the series, Wintergreen says that Slade genuinely loves his children, but is too fundamentally broken as a human being to show them the affection they deserve.

* ContinuitySnarl: The entire Wilson family was more inconsistent than ''Hawkman'' in the New 52. As a result, the ''Rebirth'' series just rebooted them all.

* MayDecemberRomance: Shortly after his introduction it was revealed that both Slade and Terra had shared an intimate relationship, despite Terra being fifteen years old and Slade having joined the Army in the late 1950s, early 1960s. ''Rebirth'' retcons this, so that he never slept with her and only kissed her in order to manipulate her into helping him.

* MySuitIsAlsoSuper: His suit in the New 52 runs is (DependingOnTheWriter) made of Nth metal (the stuff that comprises ComicBook/{{Hawkman}}'s mace and flight harness) or Promethium (the metal that comprises ComicBook/{{Cyborg}}'s body). The ComicBook/DCRebirth run has him upgrading to a "gravity sheath" suit from Dr. Ikon, which allows him to take blows from ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' of all people.

* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He took advantage of Terra's mental instability and groomed her for a sexual relationship, raping her on multiple occasions and getting away with it because everyone focused on her being "insane." Decades later during ''DC Rebirth'' the relationship was retconned so that Slade only kissed her to make Terra calm down after rejecting ''her'' advances, and yet ''now'' those who were aware of what he did felt Slade crossed a line.

* AbusiveDad: His ''Rebirth'' incarnation is verbally and physically abused by Slade.

* TheUnfavourite: His ''Rebirth'' incarnation comes off as easily his father's least favourite child, and is seemingly more often berated by Slade than Joe is, though Slade does come to care for him after his death.

* AdaptationalSexuality: The ''DC Rebirth'' relaunch of ''ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}'' establishes that Jericho is pansexual and has a rather fluid view on sexuality in general.

* ContinuitySnarl: When first introduced, he's not mute but is otherwise the same kid. Then he was reintroduced ''again'', but his real name is Jericho. By the ''Rebirth'' series, he's back to being Joseph Wilson, mute guy who possesses people, with Jericho as a former superhero identity he used.

** A downgraded version regarding the Titans: Following ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'', she has no longer been a member of the Titans. While she barely interacts with them, during ''ComicBook/DarkNightsDeathMetal'', she was grouped with Jinx, Gizmo and Mammoth, even antagonizing Donna Troy for no reason.

* AntiHero: The ''Rebirth'' version started out as a [[KnightInSourArmour Type II]]. While she was by no means a hero, she also wasn't one to kill others, as lampshaded by Shado.

** She's calmer in ''Rebirth'', although her father's machinations do push her. [[spoiler:She later develops a split personality [=and/or=] gets possessed by an ancient Hmong warrior-queen]].

* TheChosenMany: Inverted. Initially, being a Ravager just means being a member of the Ravagers, a team of EliteMooks. When she eventually starts going by Ravager, no mention is made of any previous user of the name. By the time of ''Rebirth'', the name is still solely used by her, though Grant ''does'' exist and is indeed a dead mercenary. Whether he ever used the name is up in the air.
* ContinuitySnarl: Along with all of the Wilson family, her ''ComicBook/New52'' history was ''very'' unstable. Initially, it was said that Adeline was her mother and she works for an organisation called N.O.W.H.E.R.E. as part of a group called ''the Ravagers''. She makes little mention of this when she later shows up in the second ''Deathstroke'' series. The ''Rebirth'' series specifically says Lillian Worth is once again her mother, and presents an entirely different backstory for her, aside from being Slade's daughter.

* RaceLift: Her mixed heritage was erased in the ''ComicBook/New52'' after DC made her Adeline Kane's daughter instead of Lilian Worth's. Following Rebirth, Lillian was her mom again and Rose's mixed ethnicity restored.

* {{Tsundere}}: Starting in ''Rebirth''. This version of the character is a lot more calmer than the previous two but will still get quite aggressive when feeling wronged.

** Is this with Terra too in the Rebirth comics. Despite them acting as TheRival towards each other, Rose shows that she actually does trust Terra when they're tackling missions together, is comfortable sitting next to her on a bus and talking (even if the two of them still have nothing nice to say to each other), and even refers to Terra as her "friend" when she demands an enemy let her go.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: While still complicated, the relationship between Rose and Slade is more stable in ''Rebirth'' compared to her Pre-Flashpoint version. While she still likes doing things to piss Slade off like [[spoiler:marrying his former tech-guy,]] she no longer hates him showing multiple times that she loves and cares for him and wants him in her life.

* CovertPervert: In the second Volume of "The New Titans", she holds down Kyle Rayner during a training exercise and looks in his face thinking "Oh, the things I could do to him." while smiling.

* FamilyOfChoice: Sees Titans Tower as her home and the Titans as her family, even though to most of her teammates, she is TheFriendNobodyLikes. When she overhears Robin and Cassie discussing how they consider her a lost cause and Cassie suggests throwing her out, she is visibly hurt.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: During Rose Wilson's time with the Teen Titans, her relationship with her teammates is strained, getting so bad she quit the team. When Rose considers coming back, they vote on whether to let her back in, while letting Bombshell (Amy Sue Allen), who betrayed and tried to kill them out of her own free will, ironically framing Rose as a traitor in the process, back on the team. As Rose points out, it's telling that they let a former traitor back on the team without reservations while continuing to condemn her, something even Bombshell acknowledges, pointing out that if they give her a chance, Rose deserves the same chance. She ultimately quits the team for a second time after only two days.

** Defied with Kid Devil / Red Devil (Eddie Bloomberg) who, for a long time, was the only friend she had on the team.
