After being assumed dead during the time frame between the Titans' victory over the Brotherhood of Evil and the League's exile from Earth, Slade (now going by his title of "Deathstroke the Terminator") has spent his time denying death at the hands of Trigon, who had put a demonic bounty on his head. Fighting off both demonic assassins and those who wish to kill him for the glory, Deathstroke managed to lay low for a while, and decided to get back into the villain game when a certain offer found him.

(Gruff but not crazy deep, Slade has the voice of a man who has seen pretty much everything and has survived it all. It's an older voice, almost always calm, though easily annoyed with foolish antics and bravado.)
