| − | In a now-erased previous timeline, in or around 2031, Grant adopted the alias of his father, as well as a similar outfit and became Deathstroke, gathering an army with which he invaded [[Star City]] during an event known as the Uprising. During the subsequent war, he and his forces killed the majority of [[Team Arrow]], including [[John Diggle]], [[Quentin Lance]], and presumably [[Laurel Lance (Earth-1)|Laurel Lance]], prompting [[Felicity Smoak]] to leave the city. He then gained control over all of Star City. He also outed [[Oliver Queen]] as the Green Arrow, forcing him to go into hiding, but not before Grant cut off Oliver's left arm in a climactic battle in the middle of the city. Many of its residents were forced to flee or evacuate, and those that stayed formed roving street gangs that all followed Grant's command. Though he reigned supreme, Grant continued hunting the streets for the elusive [[John Diggle, Jr.|Green Arrow]], who continued to evade capture and opposed Grant's forces through guerrilla warfare tactics. |

After realizing who Sara was, Grant told her he was going to enjoy killing her; all of them will; and called for more of his troops to surround them, but Rip Hunter and Sara were saved by Green Arrow and the trio managed to escape. |

When ordering one street gang their leader, [[Mick Rory]], refused to listen but Grant simply reminded Mick that he may control the gang but he (Grant) controls the city, and ordered everyone present to the streets. Sarcastically mocking Mick on his way out. His forces later captured Connor while he was aiding Rip's team in an abandoned [[Palmer Technologies|Smoak Technologies]] warehouse, and Grant prepared a public execution for his nemesis. At the last moment, Connor was saved by the combined forces of Rip's team and Oliver Queen, whom Grant had believed to be dead. While his forces were scattered, killed or defeated during the battle, Grant was struck by two arrows from Oliver and Connor, before being punched in the head by Oliver's robotic arm, knocking him out.<ref name="Star City 2046">{{Ep|Star City 2046}}</ref> |

Biography
Early life
Grant is the son of Slade and Adeline Wilson, and thus the brother of Joe Wilson. Grant's existence was kept secret from Slade, as Adeline didn't want for the boy to be a part of the murderous secret agent world. However, Joe, feeling like he should follow in his father's footsteps as a killer, decided that he needs to act differently, leaving Grant and his mother behind.[1]
Adult
However, Grant would ultimately take after Joe and Slade regardless. In 2019, Grant adopted the alias of his father, as well as a similar outfit and became Deathstroke, gathering an army with which he invaded Star City, replicating The Siege on a wider scale.[2]
In the original timeline, Star City was decimated and never recovered, leading to a future where John Diggle, Jr. ran the Deathstroke gang as Grant's successor.[2]
However, the timeline changed when through unknown means, presumably The Monitor's machinations, the Future Team Arrow was transported back to 2019 just in time to put a stop to Grant's schemes early. He was incarcerated at Blackgate Penitentiary.[2]
Personality
Grant's existence was hidden from his father by Adeline Wilson, who did not want him to go on the same path of killing as his father. Presumably, he had no knowledge of Slade Wilson's career as an agent for the Australian Secret Intelligence Service.[1]
Abilities
- Peak of human physical condition: Much like his father, Slade (pre-Mirakuru) Grant is in top physical condition and has expert reflexes.[2]
- High-level intellect/Master tactician/Leader: Grant was able to conquer Star City in an erased future timeline and single-handedly ruled the city with an army of masked followers. He also controlled the various street gangs that roved the city.[2]
- Master hand-to-hand combatant/Martial artist: Grant is an extremely skilled hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist. He was able to fight against Mia Smoak.[2]
- Master swordsman: Grant is proven to be a highly skilled swordsman.[2]
Equipment
- Sword: Grant wields a sword similar in appearance to a katana. It serves as his primary weapon of choice and appears to be similar to his father's.[2]
- Sidearm: Grant carries a handgun holstered on his right leg.[2]
- Combat knife: Grant carries a knife on his boot.[2]
- Deathstroke suit: Grant wears a protective suit as his villain alter-ego, Deathstroke, which seems to be a newer version of his father's suit.[2]

Appearances
Arrow
Season 6
- "Promises Kept" (mentioned)
Season 8
Trivia
- Slade mentioned that Billy Wintergreen was the godfather of his son, Joe. Slade never mentioned anything about a son named Grant, indicating that Joe was an only child at that point.[3] It was later revealed that Grant's existence was hidden from his father, because his mother did not want him to join the ASIS lifestyle.[1]
- Grant appears to look physically the exact same age in 2019 as he was in 2046 during "Star City 2046", by virtue on both versions of the character being played by Jamie Andrew Cutler.
Behind the scenes
- In the DC comics continuity, Grant Wilson is the oldest child of Slade Wilson and Adeline Kane. In the Arrowverse, he is Slade and Adeline's youngest son, kept by his mother as a secret so he wouldn't become like his father and older brother, making more like Joe's counterpart in the DC comics.
- Slade Wilson has three children in the comic book continuity: Grant, Joseph, and Rose. Rose is the only Wilson child who has yet to be referenced in the Arrowverse. However, Isabel Rochev appears to have filled her place as she has donned the villainous alter-ego of Ravager, Rose's identity in the comics.
- Also in the DC comics continuity, Grant adopts the name Ravager during his first appearance and attempts to kill the Teen Titans after being contracted by H.I.V.E.. His other identity is "Legacy", wearing a silver Deathstroke-like suit.
- Grant appears to idolize his father in keeping with his first appearance in DC Comics continuity. Notably, the comic book version of Grant idolized Deathstroke without knowing that the mercenary was his father.
