Adeline Wilson (née Kane) is the estranged wife of Slade Wilson and the mother of Joe Wilson and Grant Wilson.
Biography
Adeline married ASIS agent Slade Wilson, with whom she had a son, Joe.[1]
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, who was pregnant with their second child, 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. Years later, Adeline gave birth to her second son, Grant, whom she tried to shelter from the ASIS lifestyle that Slade joined.[2][3]
Five years later in late 2017, Adeline was contacted by her husband, now reformed, regarding Joe's whereabouts. Still angry with him, Adeline ordered Slade to stay away from her and their son.[3]
