However, due to Oliver's sacrifice, he was resurrected on Earth-Prime where Oliver managed to stop him from killing Moira Queen. Slade, along with every other residents of Earth-1, was killed in an antimatter wave that was sent by the Anti-Monitor on December 10, 2019. After Adrian was defeated and the island exploded, Slade started his quest to find his son, Joe after visiting and making amends fully with Oliver. He agreed to Oliver's requests to help in freeing his friends and combating Adrian Chase, all in the hopes of redemption and to find his lost son Joe. However, in May 2017, Oliver visits Slade again on Lian Yu, who had long-since recovered from the mental-impairment of Mirakuru. His plan ultimately failed, as he was cured of the Mirakuru and subsequently imprisoned in an A.R.G.U.S. Working with Sebastian Blood and Isabel Rochev, Slade gathered an army and launched an all-out assault on Starling City, murdering Moira Queen in his bloodlust. However, Slade survived and returned five years later as the mercenary "Deathstroke", with the intention of taking away everything and everyone Oliver held dear as vengeance for the events that transpired on Lian Yu. During a climactic battle aboard the Amazo, Oliver seemingly killed Slade after stabbing an arrow into his right eye. Slade swore vengeance against Oliver as well upon learning that he apparently chose to save Sara Lance over Shado, a woman he claimed to have loved. Slade was later injected with an experimental Mirakuru serum after a near-fatal accident and embarked on a crusade of vengeance against Anthony Ivo for killing Shado.
Slade was initially an ally of Oliver on the island, where he taught the shipwrecked playboy the majority of his combat skills (which he would later utilize in his crusade as the Arrow and Green Arrow). He was a close friend of Shado before her death and was secretly in love with her despite her affections for Oliver. Slade is also the estranged husband of Adeline Wilson, and the father of Joe Wilson and Grant Wilson.
1968), also known as Deathstroke and the Terminator, is a former member of an elite division of the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, the secret mastermind behind the Church of Blood, which he used to recruit individuals for his army, and the mentor-turned-enemy and later again ally of Oliver Queen.
