The DC antagonist, Deathstroke, aka Slade Wilson, was created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez and first appeared in “The New Teen Titans” #2 comic back in 1980. He was rated by Wizard Magazine as the 24th greatest villain of all time.
Despite the disclosure, the actor behind the mask has yet to be revealed, but multiple speculations say that Magic Mike’s Joe Manganiello will portray the role.
Deathstroke also appeared in the small screen on The CW’s live action TV series Arrow, where he was portrayed by New Zealand actor Manu Bennet. Khristian Ibarrola
