Renowned for his tactical brilliance and unmatched combat skills, he accepts missions for the highest bidder while following his own strict code of professionalism. Although he is often an enemy of the Teen Titans, Batman, and other DC heroes, his complex morality sometimes places him in the role of an uneasy ally. Deathstroke's combination of intelligence, discipline, and relentless determination has made him one of DC's most iconic assassins.
