Adeline Wilson (née Kane) is the estranged wife of Slade Wilson and the mother of Joe Wilson and Grant Wilson.

Biography

At some point, Adeline married ASIS agent Slade Wilson, with whom she had a son, Joe.

At some point during Joe's childhood, Adeline gave birth to a second son, Grant. However, the boy's existence was kept secret from Slade, as she didn't want him to be a part of the murderous secret agent world.

In 2006, Slade went missing while on a mission to Lian Yu. Four years later though, he returned home, reuniting with Adeline and Joe.

However, in late 2012, Slade succumbed to the Mirakuru and became a disturbed mercenary known as "Deathstroke". Adeline went into hiding to protect herself and Joe. She had Joe take up the alias "Kane Wolfman" in order to prevent his father from finding him.

Five years later in late 2017, Adeline was contacted by Joe who told her Slade was looking for him. Adeline then contacted Slade and ordered him to stay away from her and their son.
