Okaaaaaay, let’s dive into the world of supervillains and talk about two very different characters voiced by über bad guy VA D.C. Douglas: Deathstroke and Praetorian. Now, you might think, “Hey, they’re both superpowered dudes with a knack for violence, how different can they be?” Well, let me tell you, the difference is like night and day, or more accurately, like a precision-strike scalpel and a chaotic magic wand.
First up, we have Deathstroke, aka Slade Wilson. This guy first appeared in “The New Teen Titans” #2 back in 1980, thanks to the creative minds of Marv Wolfman and George Pérez. He’s the epitome of the ultimate soldier: superhuman strength, agility, a healing factor, and a strategic mind sharper than his sword. Deathstroke is like that annoying kid in school who aces every test without even trying, while you’re struggling to remember the difference between mitosis and meiosis (Google it). He’s the kind of guy who could take on an entire army and still have time to make a perfectly balanced breakfast. In short, he’s a professional, a tactical genius who makes calculated moves and always has a plan.
On the other hand, we have Praetorian from “Super Crooks”. Imagine if you gave a teenager a book of spells and said, “Have at it!” Praetorian has a grab-bag of 200 different superpowers that he can pull out at random. One minute he’s invincible, the next he’s teleporting, and then he’s shooting lasers from his eyes. It’s like watching a magician who can’t decide on a trick, so he just does them all at once. This guy is unpredictable, and that’s putting it mildly. He’s like the ultimate wildcard in a deck full of jokers.
D.C. Douglas, our talented voice actor, brings both of these characters to life in amazing ways. As Deathstroke in “DC Super Hero Girls,” he delivers a performance that oozes menace and precision. You can almost see the gears turning in Deathstroke’s head as he calculates his every move, his voice a perfect match for the character’s cold, methodical nature. On the flip side, as Praetorian in “Super Crooks”, Douglas gets to let loose and have some fun. Praetorian’s chaotic energy is captured brilliantly, with Douglas bringing a sense of unpredictability and gleeful mayhem to the role.
Deathstroke, with his calm, methodical approach, is like the James Bond of supervillains. He’d plan a heist with blueprints, precision timing, and probably a monologue about how clever he is. Praetorian, on the other hand, would be like, “Screw the plan, let’s just see what happens if I turn invisible and start throwing fireballs!” It’s chaos versus order, the disciplined warrior versus the unpredictable powerhouse.
And let’s not forget their personalities. Deathstroke is the strong, silent type. He’s brooding, he’s intense, and he’s got that “I could kill you with a paperclip” vibe. Praetorian, though? He’s having the time of his life. He’s like a kid in a candy store, gleefully trying out his powers and not really caring about the collateral damage.
So, to sum it up: Deathstroke is the guy you’d hire to get a job done with military precision. Praetorian is the guy you’d call if you wanted to turn your enemies into a chaotic mess and laugh while doing it. Both dangerous, both formidable, but in the world of superpowered showdowns, they’re playing completely different games.
