Recently, popular villain character Deathstroke was brought back to face the Teen Titans, his original nemesis, once more in the new DC Comics era. The last time we had seen the character was during the story arc “Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths” – Deathstroke was last seen in a tube with his super-serum soldier gone and his life support turned off. Fast forward to Titans #17, where Deathstroke steps out with a new plan to destroy the Titans. While Deathstroke had grown to be more than just the nemesis of the Titans, here he was, back to take them down one more time.

Comicbook’s own David Harth had his own opinion of what that could mean for the villain, and if now was the best time to repair him with his original challengers. Harth writes, “Deathstroke going back to the Titans well seems like a waste of the character as he is now. At this point, readers have seen Deathstroke hold his own against Superman… They’ve watched him lead an army of C-list villains that terrorized the superhero community. He’s matched wits with Batman and Green Arrow, and helped fight the Justice League. Having him start to build a team to fight the Titans — something he’s done before with the Titans East during the end stages of Johns’s run on Teen Titans — is a rehash of the first order. Deathstroke has grown beyond being the Titans’ greatest enemy. He’s shown that he can be a threat to the entire superhero community…”

Only time will tell if the repairing of Titans with their nemesis will make for good comics. Here’s hoping!
