Down Right DEVIOUS: Slade - Teen Titans

There was supposed to be an animated movie about him but I think it got canceled

[@quentinsanders5096]

I always thought of slade and deathstroke as one in the same. So I always figured he was trying to take robin as a sort of double revenge against Batman take his old side kick and use him to beat Batman but in the end robin didn’t give in so he moved on to terra as a back up plan. I also loved how it’s his past coming back to haunt the Titans and it’s robins first real arch nemesis !

[@illuminossentertainment3253]

That's because they are the same. I heard that they couldn't allow someone with the name "Death" in their show so they just went with Slade since that's Deathstroke's real name.

[@Artryom]

Slade has no actual affiliation with Batman though, he was a TT villain before anything else so no..

[@LaffyTaffy04]

The main reason I wanted a Season 6 of this show was to show WHY he went after the Teen Titans in the first place. Long story short, his son Grant tried to make a name for himself by swinging at the Titans and ended up killing himself because he used tech he didn't understand. Slade heard about this and just took up his son's contract because NO ONE makes the Wilson family look soft. A job taken is a job completed. This whole thing started because his son was an Villain of the Week idiot. They probably don't even REMEMBER him!

There was also that time when Robin was so obsessed with Slade that that he thought Slade might have been a future version of him and near the episode when Slade and Robin are fighting Robin breaks a piece off of Slades mask and some of Slades hair shows and it looked similar to Robins.
