it's used by original character Earl Gregg (played by Antonio Sabàto Jr. and also known by the alias "Bob Stanford"), an assassin with unstable magnetic powers and who wears a containment suit. Slade Wilson appears in the tenth season of Smallville, portrayed by Michael Hogan in the episodes "Patriot" and "Icarus". This version is a United States Army Lieutenant General and a suspected war criminal behind the anti-superhero Vigilante Registration Act legislation. Slade is later saved from death by Darkseid with advanced military technology, losing his right eye but gaining healing abilities in the process (rendering him "beyond Death's stroke"). After failing to kill Mera and Aquaman, Slade returned to his regular activities and found himself in combat against Hawkman. Wilson managed to get the upper hand and stabbed Hawkman in the back, killing the vigilante. For his actions, and the fact that Wilson was among those corrupted by Darkseid, Clark Kent/The Blur banished Wilson to the Phantom Zone. In the episode "Dominion", Wilson was returned to Earth months later by General Zod in a comatose state. Multiple characters have taken on the Deathstroke mantle in The CW's live-action Arrowverse, most notably being featured on Arrow. Bill "Billy" Wintergreen (portrayed by Jeffrey C. Robinson) is Slade Wilson's former friend and partner at the ASIS. He sides with Edward Fyers' mercenaries when they crash on the island, and Slade later stabs him in the right eye for his betrayal. Manu Bennett portrays Slade Wilson himself. He is introduced as an ASIS agent sent to extract ex-Chinese military member Yao Fei from the island of Lian Yu. Throughout the first and second seasons' flashbacks, Slade trains marooned playboy Oliver Queen while they are stranded together on the island, beginning Queen's path in becoming a vigilante. When Slade is mortally wounded in season 2, Oliver gives him the "mirakuru" supersoldier serum which saves his life and grants him superhuman physical attributes, though it also drives Slade insane and causes him to despise Oliver for the death of Shado by Dr. Ivo, whom Slade was in love with. Oliver is forced to drive an arrow through Slade's right eye in an attempt to kill him. In season two's present day narrative, Slade returns as the mercenary "Deathstroke" and wreaks havoc on Oliver's life, killing his mother and overwhelming Starling City with mirakuru-enhanced soldiers with aid from Sebastian Blood as his proxy and Isabel Rochev
