Sometime when Slade continued working with the army, Adeline was pregnant gave gave birth to their first child, Grant. Before coming home to see, Slade was asked to volunteer in an experiment, to which he accepts...after being told that it was some treatment that would resist enemy truth syrums. However, it turns out that the experiment was actually to create super soldiers, as it gave him enhanced strength, speed, agility reflexes, and overall senses; as well as regenerative healing by supercharging his adrenaline. At that same time thou, it first made Slade dangerously aggressive, thus they had to sedate him.
After a while, Slade soon recovered from his comma and the army discharged him, thus the experiment abonded. Slade then became a big game hunter, and was then legally married to Adeline and had a second child, Joeseph.

Sometime later, Joeseph was then kidnapped by a terrorist, who was about to kill him via slitting his throat.

Years later, after his then recognition as a highly skilled mercenary assassin, he was hired by a criminal organization known as, H.I.V.E., offered to hire him to murder The Teen Titans, to which Deathstroke refused however. So instead they inlisted his oldest son, Grant, subjecting him to the same super soldier syrum, and naming him, Ravenger.
Thou Slade as a father warned him not, Grant took up the offer, and sometime later was killed in the process. This prompted Deathstroke to further accept The Hive's offer to kill The Titans, as a means of completing his deceased son's contract to avenge his death.
While doing so, Deathstroke's war against The Titans also caused him to come into conflict with other, more adult superheroes, including The Justice Leage; and with that his name was made nutorious, as one of the world's most deadliest fighters, as Deathstroke.
