1. Deathstroke
Slade Joseph Wilson was an early enlister in the US Army, serving in the Vietnam War and several subsequent conflicts. He eventually signed up for a sort of super soldier program that would leave him unmatched as a soldier.
The experiment didn’t quite work as intended, but when he woke up from the coma (oops), he had the ability to use more than ten percent of his brain was changed in some way that WASN’T that dumb unscientific BS about brain use percentages. He became a big game hunter!
When Slade’s son Joseph was kidnapped, Slade tracked them down and murdered the kidnappers, resulting in Joseph being injured and losing his ability to speak. Slade’s wife was not happy with this. So unhappy, in fact, that she shot his eye out like she was a Red Rider BB Gun in A Christmas Story. Slade became a full-time mercenary, eventually taking on a contract to kill the Teen Titans.
During Identity Crisis (ick), Green Arrow jammed an arrow in Slade’s non-working eye, starting a feud between the two. Arrow and Deathstroke eventually fought for real, resulting in Green Arrow successfully landing Slade in prison.
And there we go! Told you there were enough Green Arrow villains to make a list! A solid list, too. Because Green Arrow villains are friggin’ rad. They are great. So I hope you’ve gained more appreciation for them. Because if so, then your opinions are…right on target.
