Origin/Background: Dr. Arthur Light and Dr. Jacob Finlay both young scientists in the S.T.A.R. Labs Light Technology Department, were an inseparable pair. Jacob, far more than Arthur, was extremely protective of their research and insisted that it be used in the cause of good and morality. Unbeknownst to Jacob, Arthur had been illegally selling other S.T.A.R. secrets to a powerful corporate raider. One night, Arthur was caught pilfering further lab technology by a new superhero calling himself Dr. Light. Dr. Light tried to capture Arthur-and then, once he got a clear look at Arthur's face seemed to recognize him and mysteriously set him free.

Reflecting on the incident later that night, Arthur realized that Jacob was Dr. Light and that he had been helping himself to their technology in order to create a superhero Identity. Knowing Jacob's secret made Arthur even more reluctant to fulfill the new request of his corporate benefactor- who demanded that Arthur find and turn over the secret of Dr. Light's powers.

The next morning, in the shambles of the lab torn apart during his battle with Dr. Light, Arthur began to confront Jacob about their mutual situations when an electrical short in their equipment caused a laser to lash out toward Jacob, disintegrating him in a blinding flash. Arthur assumed that Jacob would no longer be a part of his life-an assumption that turned out to be anything but true when Jacob's ghost began haunting Arthur whenever the lights went out, blaming Arthur for his death. Arthur continued to be terrorized by the vengeful spirit of his former friend until he accidentally came across Jacob's Dr. Light outfit, hidden in the lab. In a panic, Arthur used its light-ray beams against Jacob's ghost. He immediately discovered that light, in any form, was his one defense against the spirit, and Arthur took the costume and weaponry for his own protection.

As Dr. Light, Arthur became intoxicated with his newfound power and decided to use it for personal gain.

*Notes* - This is Dr. Light before they went and turned him into a rapist in Identity Crisis. :3pissed:

Dr. Light originally drew his powers from a specially designed suit, but over the years, his powers became innate abilities. During the Underworld Unleashed mini series, he and several other villains, got MAJOR power boost, but the writers at DC seem to have either ignored, or forgotten about it. During the Identity Crisis mini, he and his abilities were retconned once again. Not long after IC he was shown taking on the entire membership of the Teen Titans, including Superboy. During the battle he displayed several new abilities, including being able to absorb light and energy. I've chosen to stick with the basics.

Origin/Background: The man who would become the master assassin called Deadline began his life as a small time hitman for one of America’s organized crime families. While details of his upbringing and career are sketchy, his uncanny sense of aim has always made him a formidable foe.

When the alien invaders known as the Dominators unleashed a genebomb over Earth, the hitman who would soon take the name Deadline was a casualty, having his metagene activated. At first he grew extremely ill and thought he would die from the accident. Instead, he recovered and found that his body had bulked up and his skills and reflexes had dramatically improved. His skin also became extremely dense, making him impervious to pain. Topping off these new powers was his ability to phase himself or any object he touched through solid materials. Outfitting himself with high-tech gear, the hitman called himself Deadline and endeavored to establish himself as America’s premier assassin.

Detect Hidden: 20% Detect Danger: 24%
Inventing Points: Inventing: 84%
Legal Status: US Citizen, with criminal record

Origin and Background:One glance at Luthor’s I.Q. test results convinced his parents that their little genius would make them rich. They were determined he should excel but their soul destroying “guidance” bred a sociopath who engineered their deaths to capitalize on their life insurance. A budding astrobiologist, Lex then spent years searching for evidence of extraterrestrial life. His hunt took him to Smallville when he was 18. Lex befriended another seemingly alienated young man, Clark Kent. He turned his back on Smallville when a fire destroyed his lab and his scientific achievements, as well as his foster father. Refusing to take responsibility for the accident, Lex blamed the town for “letting the Luthor’s burn”, and to this day refuses to admit he has ever set foot in Smallville.

Years later, Lex appeared in Metropolis and built his technology company, LexCorp, into a powerhouse. Financial success led to political power, and he was considered the city’s most powerful figure. Then came the day that Superman appeared in the skies above Metropolis and turned Lex’s world upside down. Superman openly accused Luthor of being a criminal mastermind rather than a benefactor of mankind. Unwilling or unable to link this “meddling alien” with the boy he had known a decade earlier, Luthor swore to bring down the last son of Krypton.

Combat Tactics/M.O.:

Personality/Character Traits:

*NOTES* I'm still tinkering with his final armor designs as I know he got a number of "upgrades" in the first few issues of Batman/Superman.

Basic HTH Damage: 1d6 Movement Rates: 46” ground
Detect Hidden: 10% Detect Danger: 14%
Inventing Points: Inventing: 42%
Legal Status: US citizen, with an extensive criminal record

Origin/Background: The Lawton family was one of the oldest and most influential in a small mid- American town named, naturally, Lawton. Edward, George Lawton's oldest son, was a star school athlete and a ladies' man. When his brother Floyd reached high school, everyone expected the younger sibling to be like the older; instead, Floyd opted for the reverse and was nothing but trouble.

Genevieve Pitt Lawton hated her husband George and spent most of her time with her sons, sowing seeds of hatred against their father. She manipulated them into agreeing to shoot George, but Eddie decided he would do the deed without pressuring Floyd to help. Floyd, later rebelling against the planned murder was locked in the family boathouse while Eddie went to shoot his father: Floyd escaped and attempted to warn his father, but was too late. A shot from Eddie's gun went wild and permanently paralyzed George instead of killing him. Floyd tried to stop his brother, but an ensuing struggle left Eddie dead. This act destroyed whatever spirit Floyd had; he developed a death wish, which manifested itself in years to come.

George Lawton suppressed the criminal investigation into the shooting, then banished Genevieve to a small house on the outskirts of town and sustained her on a small pension. Since hatred continued to seethe between the couple, a disgruntled Floyd finally left town. He relocated in Gotham City and entered the jet set life, which provided little satisfaction. Their Floyd met and was briefly married to a young woman named Susan, and they had a son whom they named after Floyd's dead brother, Eddie.

Floyd soon decided that becoming a costumed figure might indulge his death wish, so he embarked on a career as the assassin Deadshot.

Combat Tactics/M.O.:

Personality.Character Traits: Floyd has a Death Wish and he routinely takes unnecessary risks.

Effigy

Identity: Martyn Van Wyck
Side: Evil Sex: Male
Age: ? Level: 5
Training: Damage

Powers:
1. Flame Powers (B):
2. Adaptation: PR=1 per hour
3. Illusions (B): Flame based energy constructs (Creation Points = Current Energy x 2 ). R = A x 2
4. Heightened Expertise: +4 w/his powers

Origin/background: Raised in Seattle, Washington, by his alcoholic father after his mother had died, Martyn Van Wyck was a bitter and resentful man. He was continuously getting into trouble with authority figures and though he tried to make a career as a musician, he found he couldn't even get a menial job in the music industry.

One night, a female acquaintance kicked him out of her car after an argument. Left 54 miles outside of Seattle, he was about to start hitchhiking back when a bright, overpowering light appeared in the sky. Van Wyck only had vague images of being in a room with figures standing over him. He was on a table and had the impression the figures were going to hurt him. The figures were the Controllers, an alien race that had originated on Maltus and had split from the Guardians of the Universe some three billion years ago. They had experimented upon Van Wyck and other humans to create super powered beings to replace the Darkstars they had once empowered as space-based protectors.

Six days later, two men in a pickup truck found Van Wyck in the middle of the road. Van Wyck was naked and confused so the men took him to the nearest emergency room. The doctors could find nothing wrong with him except for his eyes had changed from blue to flickering orange flames.

Meeting with his friends, Van Wyck told them all he knew about his condition. When the owner of the coffee shop they were sitting in asked them to leave, Van Wyck responded with a beast made out of flame. He realized he could do anything he wanted with his newfound powers. Talking with his girlfriend, Trace, Van Wyck explained how he was sick of being "pushed around" by others and now that he had powers things would change. Van took the name Effigy. He was leaving Seattle and Trace as well. As far as he was concerned, his life as Martyn Van Wyck was over; he was now only Effigy.

This meteorite fragment's other half landed in North America years ago and evolved the local apes into the scientific race that would found Gorilla City. Hector carried the meteorite back to his hideout, and then captured four prominent scientists and exposed them to the meteor. The scientists evolved into future-men who he forced to create fantastic inventions, allowing Hector to take credit for the work and become a celebrity. Eventually Hector exposed himself to the rays of the meteor, evolving himself into a future-man.

Deathstroke The Terminator
http://www.comicbookreligion.com/img/d/Deathstroke_the_Terminator.jpg
Identity: Slade Wilson
Side: Evil
Level: 10 (at least)
Training: not sure yet

Powers:
1. Animal/Plant Powers -- Mammal (Augmented Human):
The military tested an experimental anti-truth serum formula on Slade, which, combined with a unique blood factor he possessed, enhanced him both physically and mentally.

a) Heightened Strength A: +20
b) Heightened Endurance A: +20
c) Heightened Agility A: +20
d) Heightened Intelligence A: +20
e) Heightened Charisma A: +20
f) Special - Heightened Reflexes: +15 to Initiative; Deathstroke also has a number of interrupt actions available per session equal to his Inventing Points total -- he can use these additional actions in addition to the actions per combat he gets due to his initiative, but they can only be used to act just before an opponent engaging him and only on that opponent, even if they are acting well before his first listed action (this helps simulate how he is consistently able to whup Wally West's ass).

2. Heightened Senses:
This represents Slade's enhanced cognitive abilities more than any superhuman sensory acuity -- he is a trained observer, especially in combat and his enhanced mind allows him to take in and process information far more rapidly than a normal human being. Also, his intuitive abilities almost verge on psychic -- 2x DH% and DD%

3. Heightened Expertise:
Slade Wilson was already an elite Spec-Ops soldier before the experiment that gave him his powers. He went on to receive yet further training in weapons, both modern and archaic, as well as martial arts, stealth and assassination -- +4 to hit with all weapons, including HTH.

4. Regeneration:
The level of his accelerated healing has varied in how it is depicted, but he has even been shown to come back to life after seemingly being killed.

5. Natural Weaponry:
He is a top-level, highly-skilled martial artist and hand-to-hand combatant. He does not have quite the same standing as, say, Batman or Lady Siva, relying on his natural (and unnatural) gifts as much as he does on his training -- +2 to hit, +4 to damage.

6. Special Weapon - Power Staff:
A tough, sometimes collapsible staff (but not indestructible) that can emit Power Blasts (he sometimes uses these to propel himself in a massive leap) -- +2 to hit, HTH+1d4 damage, 1d20 Power Blast, 5 charges.

Weaknesses:

One Eye (doesn't seem to have much in-game effect, but there it is).
Carries a grudge.
Egotism verging on megalomania.
Iron-clad sense of honour.

(Note: While I think my statting here reflects Slade's powers and abilities accurately, he ends up with monster hit points, which isn't an issue in my homebrew V&V variant, where Agility and Intelligence don't contribute to Hit Points and Basic Hits are on a table, rather than a flat one per 50lbs. of body mass)

Suffice it to say I disagree. Even with his stats where they are, his CC and HTH aren't quite where they should be. His Int should most certainly *not* be in the 15 to 19 range, he *explicitly* has superhuman cognition. The intiative power I gave him makes much more sense given how he's written and depicted -- simply saving an action would be insufficient to reflect a guy who is basically at a Spider-Man/Kraven the Hunter'ish power level and yet regularly takes on the Titans or the Justice League single-handedly and comes within a hair's breadth of winning, not mention pretty much always getting away. He needs every action he gets fighting 5 - 6 opponents at once, almost always including a powerful speedster. Giving him increased stats via Willpower B is certainly one way to do it, but that's ultimately an aesthetic decision, IMV.

the cognition can be an ability from willpower
nat weap gives you multi attack so you can get many attacks
I say all that about him is I remember the write up someone( i think jeff Dee) did on the Tatins in a different world mag ,and they were'nt that powerful

I remember those write-ups too. I don't recall Kid Flash being able to hit light-speed in them either. But that's what he was able to do in the comics. Diff'rent strokes, I guess. We all stat'em differently, I guess.

OK, here was my take on the Terminator when he originally appeared.

Deathstroke: The Terminator (Old School)

Identity: Slade Wildon
Side: Evil Sex: Male
Age: 39Level: 20
Training: Endurance

Powers:
1. Body Power: Enhanced Physique (+6 STR, +6 END, +6 AGL)
2. Heightened Defense: -8 to be hit (-4 from Heightened Defense, -4 from training) He’s just that hard to hit. In combat he’s all over the place, using his staff to block attacks, or firing blasts to dodge.
3. Heightened Expertise: +6 to hit with anything (+4 from Heightened Defense, +2 from training). Mr. Wilson is a beast in close combat with any number of firearms,
melee weapons, or anything he can get his well trained hands on.
4. Natural Weaponry: Martial Arts: +2 to hit, +4 Damage (he’s good but he’s not a Grand Master)
5. Willpower (A): This would cover his military training, and explain some of the feats he’s managed to pull off.
6. Power Blast Device: Power Staff: R= , 1d20 Damage, 20 Charges (This is a guess as I’ve never seen him use it more
than a few times during any particular battle).
7. Diminished Senses: Blind in one eye.

Equipment/Weapons:
1. Chainmail Armor: Provides 5 points invulnerability
2. Long Sword: +2 to hit, HTH +1d6 damage
3. Pistol: +3 to hit, 1d8 damage, R= 138”
4. Hand Grenades: +2 to hit, 1d10 damage, 2” blast radius.

Weight: 200 lbs. Basic Hits: 4
Agility Mod: - Strength: 18
Endurance: 23 Agility: 23
Intelligence: 16 Charisma: 25
Reactions from Good: -4 Evil:+4
Hit Points: 62 Damage Mod.: +3
Healing Rate: 0.7 Accuracy: +4
Power: (80) Carrying Capacity: 813lbs.
Basic HTH Damage: 1d8 Movement Rates: 64” ground speed
Detect Hidden: 12% Detect Danger: 16%
Inventing Points: 32 Inventing: 48%
Origin and Background: American military
Legal Status: US citizen with no criminal record.

Notes: I based his experience level on what was posted about him from Different World’s magazine. I compared him to the stats posted for the Titans, and “guessitmated” what I thought his stats would look like at that time.

I went back and looked at his early appearances, and if you look closely, he doesn't attack as much as you think. He lets his opponents come to him, and sets them up to either hit each other, dodge their attack, or get close enough for him to strike at point blank range. I'd suggest that the best way to simulate this would be for him to save as many actions as possible, and make his attacks AFTER his foes have conducted their actions. He'll also make special attacks (ricochet attacks with his Power Blast), after he's ensured he's in a position to strike.

Also, when he first appeared, the team wasn't used to working with each other. While Robin, Wonder Girl, Changling, and Kid Flash were all old hands, Raven, and Cyborg were new to superheroing. And Starfire was used to working by herself. Deathstroke used that against them, he also made extensive plans before hand, scouting out the area, and planning his possible escape routes well in advance of taking any action against the Titans. He'd hit them when it would be to his advantage to do so, not before.

If you want to make him tougher, bump his weight up to 205, which will increase his basic hits to "5".

I added a pic, and cleaned up his write-up slightly to bring it more inline with Jack Herman's Titan's write-ups.

nice
At 20th level you could take off one of the h.defense and just add the extra -4(due to level training)
also maybe have the body power add some movement bonus,say +40 or +50

I havent made comicbook characters for V&V in about 15yrs,and the ones I did make have been lost over time.

Actually I think I may have done that, as this was the original draft, and not the final one I posted. I based his Heightened Defense on the fact that you almost never see Deathstroke actually take a hit. It's vary rare for him to do so.

also maybe have the body power add some movement bonus,say +40 or +50

He's fast, but you have to remember that he's no longer in his prime, by the time he's introduced in the Titans, he's got to be at least in his very late 30's or early 40's (I took a wild guess at his age based on when he debuted in the comic and his backstory). In his younger years I would have bought it, but not now, but if you want to make that change for your own game, I say go for it.

Hopefully no one gets offended by my critique,its just my opinion.:thumbup:

No offense, it's fun to look at other people's interpretations of various characters, I don't always agree with them (you should have seen the thread I had going on Wolverine's stats), but they're still fun to look at.

Considering he moves twice as fast as the "average person" in there prime, I think he's still moving at a pretty good rate of speed, but if you feel like he's not fast enough, tack the speed bonus on. I'm a big proponent of guys going with what works for them in their game. Think a character is to powerful, down grade his stats, not powerful enough for you, upgrade his level, through in some training bonuses, or modify his powers to your liking. While I'm at it, I'd like to see more guys take a crack posting their takes on characters. Be it for V&V, M&M, Champions, DC Heroes, etc. I really do like reading over the various write-ups and any notes you feel like posting.

Dom,

As much as I like to see them scary powerful, as Chim shows, I think I agree with your write-up a bit more.

I'd drop the Level to 13-15 though, put the hits to 5 - 'cause I think his weight should be 225 or so - and push his Strength to 20.

I would also be very very tempted to give him Ht. Attack variant - where he gets a +1 to hit every level instead of damage and can use that as a MINUS to be hit if he has a Move Action saved. (This would replace the Ht. Defense and would be more exciting in actual play.)

But I like - I like.

(Funny how the really dangerous combatants in HtoH have so many ways of writing up. Cap, f'rinstance...)

Kudos!

I don't know, guys... strength of 10 men? Superhuman intelligence and cognition? Superhuman reflexes and agility? Healing factor that includes retarded aging? Taking on the entire New Teen Titans at the same time and whupping ass? All the time? Taking on Green Lantern, Flash, Zatanna, Elongated Man, Hawkman and Green Arrow all at once and nearly doing them all in? I can see shaving the totals on mine down --reducing the bonuses from the Heightened Stats B -- I tend to like'em tough and to get happy with the stats. But I don't know that I can get behind a write-up that has a guy leaping around like Spider-Man lifting 800 lbs. Or one that doesn't give him superhuman intelligence.

Justice

09-22-2008, 01:56 PM

Ah -to be fair Chim, he's gotten tougher over 20 years of publishing like Spidey has.

I did not know about the Strength of 10 men. Hmmm. Point.

Well, we've got Slade I and Slade II now.

Let's read the Wiki shall we?

Skipping past the convoluted horrors of his family life.... ahhhh

"Dysfunctional the Interminable" :D
Deathstroke possesses various enhanced abilities.

These include the strength of ten men and heightened speed, agility, stamina, and reflexes.

He has the capacity to use up to 90% of his brain making him a combat skills and tactical genius, making him adept at turning opponents' own abilities against them, stemming from his years in the military and combat with various heroes.

Deathstroke also possesses a healing factor in his blood that enables him to heal from physical injury much faster than a normal person. With limitations as he could not heal his eye and cannot regenerate entire limbs. This enables him to recover from what would otherwise be fatal injuries, though recovering from what would be these kinds of injuries renders him insane and animalistic for a short period.

He is also a highly formidable opponent in physical combat to the point that even Batman can only fight him to a stalemate (and only succeeded in defeating him with the aid of his sidekicks, in Infinite Crisis).

Green Arrow #66 claims that an assassin known as Natas (Reading the name backwards makes for the name Satan) taught Deathstroke "almost everything he knows" (a retcon of his origin in Judas Contract, where his future wife Adeline Kane trained him while Slade was in the military). There has been argument over how good of a martial artist Deathstroke is. While he has defeated multiple opponents in hand-to-hand combat and has even been acknowledged by Cassandra Cain as "toying with me, he is holding back", he is not considered one of the DCU's greatest martial artists despite his impressive record, due to his enhanced capabilities and artificial enhancements providing him with an unfair advantage.

Deathstroke is also skilled in the use of many weapons ranging from guns, rifles, and swords, which are usually among his current weapons of choice.

His signature weapon is a power staff that fires lethal and non-lethal energy blasts from both ends. The staff can also be used to strike using energy at each end.

His body armor is composed of a mesh-woven, kevlar, chainlink mail, capable of stopping small arms fire. Most of the metal he wears and uses are made out of Promethium.

In the animated series, Slade has superior physical strength and fighting skills that surpass Robin's, and also possibly Batman's. He is a bona-fide genius, with great knowledge in robotics,as well as military, political and subversive strategy.

He seems to possess some knowledge of ceremonial magic (as seen in Forces of Nature). He appears to have access to extremely advanced technology and various secret hideouts,nearly unlimited resources, and a vast army of robot minions.

However, Slade's most notable quality is that he is a master of manipulation and psychology, allowing him to get his foes to do almost anything he wants through shrewd manipulation.

Alrighty, then. I'll try my hand on this later, stealing liberally and unethically from Dom and Chim.

Who are probably Deathstroke's two long-lost siblings. :D :D :D

09-22-2008, 01:59 PM

His enhanced cognition was a defining feature from day one. About the only feature that I think was added later was his healing factor, which was de rigeur for a while for all the grim n' gritty killing machine types.

Justice

09-22-2008, 02:18 PM

yes - I do remember that. Would you permit this little variant?

Willpower A: Slade Wilson has the unique ability to use nearly 90% of his brain capacity, granting him superhuman abilities for limited periods. To emulate this, and the resultant stress and trauma it can cause, points are taken from Wilson's INT to boost any physical stat he wishes.

STR - rarely used, since another 1000 lbs of lifting only adds a few points in HtoH damage.
AGI - often used, esp. to garner the first action and interrupt actions of opponents.
END - grants himself an amazing healing factor, akin to Regeneration at 1/4 speed. For every minute (4 turns) Wilson focuses his willpower, he receives his Healing Rate. However, he recovers that INT used at 1 pt. per minute. So if he uses a lot of INT to save his life, he will be very animalistic and brutal until his brain recovers.

How's that, Chim?

Not my cup of tea, really, as I don't see it being consistent with the *any* of the iterations of Slade I've seen in the comics, but as people have said, it really is a matter of taste -- it's not my place to permit or not permit. I can see that people don't cotton too much to my write-up -- that's cool enough. We just see things differently, is all.

EDIT -- I *do* think it's a cool power, mind you; I just don't think it models Slade well, is all.

Also, the wiki doesn't make reference to the fight between Batman and Deathstroke in Deathstroke's comic (issue 6 or 7, I can't remember exactly), where he actually beats Batman, despite a good showing on Batman's part. IMV, the only reason that the fight was as close as it was is that Deathstroke generally doesn't kill for free and it's harder to fight to disable without killing or permanent injury. He was sort of handling Bats with kid-gloves.

I could certainly see Deathstrokes stats being in the 20's as opposed to the 30's -- I have old personal benchmarks in my head from back in the day, so statting out a single character tends to suffer from the lack of context of seeing how other characters stack up as well. Also, I do stat reflexively from the perspective of my homebrew, which is significantly different at this point from canonical V&V. This gives me a thread idea...

Justice

09-22-2008, 02:51 PM

Well, I base that INT -> END -> Regeneration on the Wiki write-up - he seems to lose his mind.

Alrighty, the J-Man breakdown goes as follows:

Deathstroke possesses various enhanced abilities.

Ya think?

These include the strength of ten men and heightened speed, agility, stamina, and reflexes.

Body Power: Perfect human - S, E, & A are maxed to 25 each, total points spent not to exceed 30. Original S, E, A all around 15. This might be low in some estimations, but it honors V&V's style and it does get his CC into a "10 men" range.

He has the capacity to use up to 90% of his brain making him a combat skills and tactical genius, making him adept at turning opponents' own abilities against them, stemming from his years in the military and combat with various heroes.

Psionics (full mind usage):
a) Ht. Int A: +15

b) Willpower A: Slade may use his INT to boost any natural ability on a 1-to-1 basis, PR=boost/turn.

c) Weakness Detection: as per rules.

Deathstroke also possesses a healing factor in his blood that enables him to heal from physical injury much faster than a normal person. With limitations as he could not heal his eye and cannot regenerate entire limbs. This enables him to recover from what would otherwise be fatal injuries, though recovering from what would be these kinds of injuries renders him insane and animalistic for a short period.

Willpower B: Regeneration 1/4 OR Willpower A above used on END. (GM's choice)

He is also a highly formidable opponent in physical combat to the point that even Batman can only fight him to a stalemate (and only succeeded in defeating him with the aid of his sidekicks, in Infinite Crisis).

Green Arrow #66 claims that an assassin known as Natas (Reading the name backwards makes for the name Satan) taught Deathstroke "almost everything he knows" (a retcon of his origin in Judas Contract, where his future wife Adeline Kane trained him while Slade was in the military). There has been argument over how good of a martial artist Deathstroke is. While he has defeated multiple opponents in hand-to-hand combat and has even been acknowledged by Cassandra Cain as "toying with me, he is holding back", he is not considered one of the DCU's greatest martial artists despite his impressive record, due to his enhanced capabilities and artificial enhancements providing him with an unfair advantage.

Deathstroke is also skilled in the use of many weapons ranging from guns, rifles, and swords, which are usually among his current weapons of choice.

Ht. Expertise: ALL weapons +8 to hit (+4 additional from Training)
Natural Weaponry: +2, +4 (agreed with Dom)

His signature weapon is a power staff that fires lethal and non-lethal energy blasts from both ends. The staff can also be used to strike using energy at each end.

Special Weapon: Power Blast bo-staff.

His body armor is composed of a mesh-woven, kevlar, chainlink mail, capable of stopping small arms fire. Most of the metal he wears and uses are made out of Promethium.

Invulnerability Device: 17 points (as per rules) OR Armor B: ADR 75.

In the animated series, Slade has superior physical strength and fighting skills that surpass Robin's, and also possibly Batman's. He is a bona-fide genius, with great knowledge in robotics,as well as military, political and subversive strategy.

He seems to possess some knowledge of ceremonial magic (as seen in Forces of Nature). He appears to have access to extremely advanced technology and various secret hideouts,nearly unlimited resources, and a vast army of robot minions.

However, Slade's most notable quality is that he is a master of manipulation and psychology, allowing him to get his foes to do almost anything he wants through shrewd manipulation.

Back to top - add Magic (novice) and Psychology (master) in skills.

I'd drop the Level to 13-15 though, put the hits to 5 - 'cause I think his weight should be 225 or so - and push his Strength to 20.

I based his level on Jack Herman's Teen Titans write-ups from Different Worlds Magazine, Robin and Wonder Girl were up there in levels and old Slade's been at the game a lot longer than either one of them.

I would also be very very tempted to give him Ht. Attack variant - where he gets a +1 to hit every level instead of damage and can use that as a MINUS to be hit if he has a Move Action saved. (This would replace the Ht. Defense and would be more exciting in actual play.)

Sounds reasonable to me. I've been using a variant of Heightened Attack that allows you to get a +1 to hit, for years. I've also used a variant of Heightened Senses, called Combat Sense, that allows you to take either a +1 to hit, +1 to damage, or a -1 to be hit, per level.

Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention about my write-up. It's my take on Deathstroke when he first appeared, way back in New Teen Titans. Over the years he seemed to get more powerful, and more brutal. When he first appeared he had a distinctive personal code of honor, lately, with a few rare exceptions, he's portrayed as nothing more than a ruthless killer. Either way, feel free to keep posting, I just may take a crack at posting a "modern" version of him that includes his healing ability.

I like all the variations
But dont forget an int of 19 is equal to 190 IQ190
so if he has a 19 -21 int thats super genuis
Willpower(A) The character has the ability to control his own bodily and mental functions through sheerforce of will.Thus,he is able to ignore pain,withstand torture,hold his breath for extended periods of time,remember small details,maintain intense concentration,ignore distractions,etc. This counts as a defense on the combat table if the charater is currently using his Willpower in a relevent manner(GM's option). The character is able to do any of these things as often as he wants,at a PR of one per turn(GM's option to charge an action or movment only to perform any particular feat.)

what they give to Willpower
thats what Deathstroke can do with 90% of his brain

According to whom? I may be mistaken, but that isn't actually specified. If you work with the frequency distribution of 3d6 to approximate a normal distribution, 18 - 19 isn't nearly that high. IQ has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, putting the vast majority of the population between 85 and 115. At present, IQs between 120 and 129 are termed "superior" and 130 and up are considered "very superior" (this used to be the "genius" threshold, but not longer. Anyhow, 130 is two standard deviations above the mean and ranks one in the 98th percentile. 135 puts one in the 99th percentile, 140 at 99.8 and 145 (z-score of +3, or 3 standard deviations above the mean) at 99.9.

That was from AD&D 2nd ed. IIRC

85-115 = Normal (8.5 - 11.5 when divided by 10, so 9-12 = Normal Int)

Problem is, Chim knows too many onery facts in this area.

I refuse to believe I have a one-in-a-thousand Int. :o

Chim, what's the highest IQ recorded? Isn't it over 200?

Ah - here from http://onemansblog.com/2007/11/08/the-massive-list-of-genius-people-with-the-highest-iq/

* Physicist / Engineer Kim Ung-yong has a verified IQ of 210

Even cooler are these of long dead people of smarts...

In 1926, psychologist Dr. Catherine Morris Cox - who had been assisted by Dr. Lewis M. Terman, Dr. Florence L. Goodenaugh, and Dr. Kate Gordon - published a study “of the most eminent men and women” who had lived between 1450 and 1850 to estimate what their IQs might have been. Data from that study as well as other sources around the net were compiled to form the following list. Please drop me a comment if you have additions or corrections (make sure and cite sources).

Those estimates are off by a more modern scale, Justice, at least those last ones are. Once upon a time, the scale was such that 145 was "genius". It has since been re-scaled, so that point is at 130 now. The actual number isn't relevant, in a sense, but rather the position on the curve.

Origin/Background: Grant Wilson is the son of Slade Wilson (Deathstroke: The Terminator) and Adeline Kane Wilson. The couple met while in service in the United States Army (Adeline had been Slade's instructor in guerrilla warfare). Sparks ignited immediately between the two, and they quickly fell in love and wed. Shortly thereafter, Adeline gave birth to a son, Grant and later Joseph Wilson.

When Grant became a young man, he moved to New York City's East Village, where he fell in with the H.I.V.E. It was Grant's apartment that Starfire crashed into as she escaped her Gordanian captors. His apartment suffered even more damage as the New Teen Titans entered the scene. Grant demanded compensation for damages, but was refused. A bitter and angry man to begin with, Grant's rage toward the Titans festered. The H.I.V.E. offered to amplify Grant's natural abilities artificially and sent him after the Titans. Grant received powers and a costume reminiscent of his father's and named himself the Ravager.

Ravager eventually died in his father's arms, as his powers proved too taxing for his body.

Years earlier, the shy physicist Frost was locked inside an experimental thermofrost chamber that altered her body chemistry and transformed her into a coolly confident super-villain able to generate intense cold. As Killer Frost, Crystal Frost sought revenge against male scientists she believed were prejudiced against women, including fellow physicist Martin Stein, one half of the super hero Firestorm and Frost’s past paramour.

Louise Lincoln, believing that her tortured friend deserved to live more than she did, transferred the powers of Killer Frost to herself, becoming the second Killer Frost.
