5. Deathstroke Returns

Complete story — includes the ending

Slade asks Oliver to help him find his son Joe, who is being held in jail. The two meet up in Kasnia with an old acquaintance of Slade's, Nylander, who provides them with the information they need. Oliver and Slade are told that Joe was killed in prison, but later learn that he has apparently been kidnapped by a gang called the Jackals. Slade abandons Oliver, dons the Deathstroke outfit and attacks the Jackals' base, before being confronted by Joe, revealed as the leader of the Jackals. Meanwhile, Dinah protects an anti-vigilante bill-supporting politician from the Vigilante, eventually discovering that he is actually her old partner Vincent Sobel, thought long dead. Vincent survived and was given regeneration powers by the particle accelerator, but did not approach Dinah earlier because he had lost faith in their police work. In flashbacks, Slade spends time with his son Joe camping in the forests of New Zealand. The trip is later revealed as a cover for a mission, where Slade kills a Chinese agent in an attempt to locate Yao Fei.
