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 assassin for Australian Secret Intelligence Service, until he was confronted with his family's past and possibly killed by his brother, Joe Wilson. Grant is extremely intelligent and calculating, enough to take over Star City and kill most of the members of Team Arrow. Despite this - or perhaps because of this - Grant is also arrogant, overconfident, and boastful. He displays immense pride in his accomplishments, a trait that sometimes causes him to underestimate his opponents. He has also been shown as somewhat unstable, another clear departure from his father's pre-Mirakuru psyche; this aspect of Grant is perhaps best exemplified when he commands Mick Rory's men to scour the city in an attempt to find Sara Lance and Rip Hunter.

Potential future
In or around 2031, Grant adopted the alias of his father, as well as an outfit similar to that of the latter 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, Laurel Lance, Quentin Lance and Thea Queen, 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 Green Arrow, who continued to evade capture and opposed Grant's forces through guerrilla warfare tactics.
Deathstroke (Grant Wilson)
Abilities
Potential future
- Peak of human physical condition : Much like his father, Slade (pre-mirakuru), Grant is in top physical condition and has expert reflexes. He has shown that he can go toe to toe with an elderly Oliver Queen in combat, and was even able to cut an arrow fired at him by Oliver in mid-air.
- Master combatant / Martial artist : Grant was able to fight Oliver Queen and Connor Hawke and hold his own, possibly being better than Connor. Grant is shown to have a fighting style similar to his father's. He uses eskrima, karate and muay thai as his primary fighting style, but it can be assumed that he knows other martial arts as well. He was able to defeat an elderly Oliver in single combat and later overpowered his disciple, Connor many years later.
- Master swordsman : Grant has shown himself to be a master swordsman, being able to hold his own with Oliver and Connor.
- High-level intellect / Master tactician / Leader : Grant was able to conquer Star City in a potential 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.
Potential future
- 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 - if not the same sword as - the one that his father used during his time as Deathstroke.
- Sidearm : Grant carries a handgun holstered on his right leg.
- Combat knife : Grant carries a knife on his boot.
- Deathstroke suit: Grant wears a protective suit as his villain alter-ego, Deathstroke. The suit is almost completely identical to the one worn by the first Deathstroke, Grant's father, Slade Wilson.
- Deathstroke mask: Grant's mask is visually almost the same as his father's mask, with the only key differences being the inclusion of two eye holes and the mask being half-black and half-silver, rather than half-black and half-orange.
