History

Grant Wilson grew up idolizing Deathstroke, although he was unaware that the mercenary was his father, because his parents had been separated. Grant attended military school and later moved to NYC, at which point he began falling in with members of H.I.V.E. His new friends and his constant infidelity threatened his relationship with girlfriend Carol Sladky. The final straw came when Starfire crashed into his apartment, and his living space was destroyed by Gordanians who were hunting the alien princess. The New Teen Titans fended off the Gordanians, but Grant blamed them for both destroying his apartment and convincing Carol to leave him. In a bid for revenge he allowed H.I.V.E. scientists to give him powers that were identical to those of Deathstroke. Now known as Ravager he promised to assassinate the Titans. Deathstroke warned his son that his powers were unstable and slowly killing him, but Ravager refused to listen. Ravager burned himself out fighting the Titans, dying in his fathers' arms, and Deathstroke swore revenge.

Grant was later resurrected by Brother Blood to guard Kid Eternity.

Notes

• Although this character was originally introduced during DC's Earth-One era of publication, their existence following the events of the 1985-86 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths remains intact. However, some elements of the character's Pre-Crisis history may have been altered or removed for Post-Crisis New Earth continuity, and should be considered apocryphal.
