* TheUnapologetic: One of Slade's biggest flaws is his absolute refusal to apologize for his actions. The most glaring case of this would be his manipulation of Rose, where even after she had a psychotic breakdown and gouged out her own eye, Slade continued to insist he "had it under control." As far as he's concerned, everyone ''else'' should be apologizing for not going along with his plans.

* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He is very good, he knows it, and he lets everyone know it. See how his mask is half black and doesn't have an eyehole on that side? He does that so everyone can see he only has one eye, and he will ''still'' kick your ass.

* CharacterDevelopment: He started the CycleOfRevenge against the Titans when his son got killed capturing them for a contract. The arc ends with his surviving son and wife turned against him, and a bunch of teen heroes that hate his guts. Slade gets a HeelRealization about this and eventually tells a vengeful Beast Boy that avenging the dead isn't worth it because everyone loses in the end. This goes away in the 2003 reboot, where he vows to kill Jericho again for making him kill Wintergreen.



** He was shocked that Beast Boy was willing to become a murderer and besmirch his hero reputation to avenge Terra, perpetuating the CycleOfRevenge that Deathstroke started. It gets so bad that Slade tells Beast Boy, after getting him to show he can't kill an unarmed man who deserves death, that he's a hero and it's not worth avenging the dead.



* HarmfulToMinors: He pumped his daughter full of mind control steroids and let her carry around a chunk of cancerous meteorite in her eye socket, the eye which she gouged out herself so as to make her "just like him." Slade still claims he had Rose's situation "under control."

* HeelRealization: After witnessing Terra die because she let her hatred consume her, Slade realized what a similar situation he was in with his hatred for the Titans and stopped going after them, opting to retire and later coming out of retirement as an anti-hero and frequent ally to the Titans. It didn't stick, however.

** Also, he received ''no'' long-lasting consequences after ''The Judas Contract'', the arc in which he was the BigBad, with it all being brushed under the rug or [[TheScapegoat pinned on Terra]], and for a while was even ''friends'' with the heroes he'd attempted to have killed.
* {{Kneecapping}}: He once shot Impulse in the kneecap. To add insult to injury, thanks to the accelerated healing abilities of the Flash Family, the doctors in the ER had to re-break it repeatedly because it kept healing automatically but incorrectly.

On the other hand, the Titans for a while made it clear they wouldn't hold back if he ever fought them again, and Beast Boy was prepared to murder him; they make good on that threat when he seemingly shoots Impulse; even when they learn it was Jericho in Slade's body, the Titans reestablish their hostility and kill him in a BadFuture. Jericho also joins the Titans after helping fight HIVE, establishing his side.

* MotiveDecay: He started out as a ruthless, though not wholly unscrupulous, assassin who only came into conflict with the Titans as part of fulfilling a contract that his son died trying to complete, having blamed them for his death, and seemed to value his reputation above all. When he dropped the contract and finally made peace with his son's death, he actually became rather amiable towards his former targets. Then he became a CardCarryingVillain and doing things like injecting his only surviving child with a PsychoSerum and implanting a chunk of radioactive kryptonite in her eye socket and nuking Bludhaven to spite Nightwing (a character he had previously had a lot of respect for).

** His entire motivation for hating the ComicBook/TeenTitans and trying to kill them was that he blamed them for the loss of his family. In reality, Deathstroke himself was the one who drove them away with his life as an amoral mercenary. Averted in one storyline when he eventually realized he was a terrible father. He enacted a scheme to endear his remaining two children to the Teen Titans so they could have the family he couldn't give them.

* PetTheDog: After he's let out of prison, Beast Boy challenges him to a DuelToTheDeath and is on the verge of JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope. Slade knows Beast Boy blames him for Terra's death and betrayal...and goes to meet him anyway. Wintergreen begs him not to because he knows it won't end well. Deathstroke ignores Wintergreen and shows up unarmed, challenging Beast Boy to strike him down. Gar ends up being unable to do it because he can't attack a defenseless man and is mad at himself for not being a killer. Slade then treats him to breakfast and talks him through his understandable anger and grief; while it's not cool that Slade scapegoated Terra, he tells Beast Boy that revenge helps no one in the long run and the kid shouldn't throw his life away for a dead girl.

* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: As dangerous of a fighter and as [[PopularityPower popular as he can be]], Deathstroke is still subject to this from time to time. At his best, he'll be written to defeat some of DC's top martial artists like Batman or Bronze Tiger, trip up and take out speedsters like The Flash, stalemate Superman, and out-fight scores of some of the most powerful heroes alive, including members of the Justice League and/or the Teen Titans. Then other times, a few no-name characters will be able to get the drop on him and/or pose a serious enough threat to him that one has to seriously wonder if the guy having trouble fighting a D-Lister villain is the same Deathstroke who could make defeating Flash or Green Lantern look easy.
