Grant Wilson '' #22 (July 2009). Art by Michael Norton (pencils) and
Dan Jurgens, Guy Major, Hi-Fi Design,
Norm Rapmund (inks and colors). The first Ravager is Deathstroke's older son
Grant Wilson. While living in New York City, Grant's apartment is wrecked by the sudden arrival of the alien princess
Starfire and the
Gordanians following her. Grant blames the Teen Titans for the events and takes a contract from
H.I.V.E. to kill them. H.I.V.E. gives Grant a serum that allows him to imitate his father's abilities and enhanced reflexes. However, the procedure is flawed and soon kills Grant, causing Deathstroke to hold the Titans responsible for his death. Grant is temporarily resurrected by
Brother Blood to guard
Kid Eternity. In the
Teen Titans tie-in to the
Blackest Night crossover, Grant Wilson is reanimated as a member of the
Black Lantern Corps and attacks his father Deathstroke and his half-sister
Rose Wilson.
The New 52 In September 2011,
The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, Grant's history was changed. He appears to have been beaten and killed in an explosion by
Midnighter, but returns after a few years trying to kill his father. Grant surreptitiously manipulates Deathstroke, by allying himself with the fathers of one of Slade's victims and sending a number of villains called Legacy to weaken the mercenary before facing him. Despite having a chance to kill Deathstroke, Grant hesitates and walks away. Grant is later killed by Deathstroke in his attempt to kill
Jericho (Joseph Wilson), Deathstroke's son.
DC Rebirth Grant's backstory is expanded upon in
Deathstroke: Rebirth. In his younger years as a child, he had a strained relationship with his father Slade, who was hard on him, and was distant from his younger brother Joseph. His strained family life provokes him to run away as a teenager, unknowingly encountering young members of H.I.V.E who have been spying on his family and take the chance to recruit him. Grant established a relationship with one of the young women and came to join H.I.V.E in his adult life. In the storyline "
The Lazarus Contract", Deathstroke attempts to resurrect Grant by stealing
Wally West and
Ace West's super-speed to travel back in time and change the past, but is unsuccessful.
Unknown The second Ravager is an unnamed assassin who is hired by
Two-Face to eliminate
Batman. Ravager lures Batman into a trap by building up his reputation as a dangerous serial killer. During a confrontation at the top of a dam, Ravager is defeated and falls to the water below, never to be seen again.
Bill Walsh The third Ravager is
Bill Walsh, a former rival of Deathstroke's who takes up the title to lure Deathstroke into battle. Years before assuming the name Ravager, Walsh was known as the
Jackal and was hired by Wade LaFarge to kidnap Slade's younger son Joseph, which resulted in Joseph's throat being slit and him being rendered mute. As Ravager, Walsh attempts to kill Slade with a bomb. Slade instead kills Walsh and defuses the bomb.
Wade LaFarge The fourth Ravager is
Wade LaFarge, a small-time hitman and Slade Wilson's half-brother who uses the Ravager name in mockery of him. A former lover of Slade's wife
Adeline Kane, LaFarge becomes obsessed with destroying Slade and Adeline's relationship. Years later, Ravager is offered $100,000 by an anonymous source to perform a
hit on Rose Wilson, Slade's daughter. He murders Rose's foster parents, but is killed by Rose, who has become Slade's apprentice. In the
Teen Titans tie-in to the
Blackest Night crossover, Wade LaFarge is resurrected as a Black Lantern and attacks Rose and Slade. ==The Ravagers==
