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. |
Slade Wilson was discharged from the army and secretly became a mercenary known as Deathstroke, the Terminator. A terrorist known as the Jackal kidnapped a young Joseph Wilson to gain leverage against Slade. This forced Slade to admit to his wife that he was secretly the mercenary known as Deathstroke, the Terminator. Adeline and Slade together confronted the Jackal. Slade refused to give the Jackal the information he requested, because it would violate his professional code of ethics. Slade gambled he could react fast enough to save his son; He saved Joseph's life, but not before one of Jackal's men had begun to slit his throat. Joseph was now mute. Adeline, furious at Slade's betrayal divorced Slade and raised her two sons by herself. Grant followed in his father's footsteps and attended military school. |
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. |
