    Want to vote but you don't have an account? Well, what are you waiting for?! Signing up is beyond simple. CLICK HERE to register and then you'll be able to vote in all of our polls and join the countless discussions.

    In case you missed the news, Deathstroke is our latest Character of the Month! Obviously, this means Slade Wilson's going to pop up in various features throughout July. His first appearance in this weekly segment is a simple one: what's your favorite Deathstroke costume?

    Since making his debut in 1980, the Terminator has gained quite a lot of popularity. He has plenty of appearances in comics, but he's also shown up in video games, TV shows, and animated movies. The DC mercenary is always strolling around in awesome attire, but we want to know which one you all love the most. There's 10 options on the poll and voting will remain open until Thursday morning (ET). An updated article with the results and more will go live later that day. Now, let's take a look at the costumes!

    From top left to bottom right: Arrow, classic pre-52 (blue/orange), pre-52 blue/black, Batman: Arkham Origins, Flashpoint, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Son of Batman, Teen Titans, The New 52, Young Justice

    Man, Deathstroke is one cool looking character, isn't he? Now that you've seen all of the choices, it's time to think it through and pick a favorite. Once you've made up your mind, tell us why the costume earned your vote. Make the post excellent enough and there's a chance we'll highlight it in Thursday's feature.

    Vote or else you'll upset Deathstroke. Trust us, he's not someone you want to upset.

    Want to continue celebrating Deathstroke? He's currently battling Boba Fett (click here to vote!). Also, two video games he's appeared in -- Injustice: Gods Among Us and Batman: Arkham Origins -- are featured in the latest edition of Favorite Comic Book Video Games (click here to vote!). We'll post his best covers this Friday, too!

    We'll attempt to focus another Question of the Week or two on Slade Wilson, so if you have an idea for a good question, feel free to share it below or via Twitter.

    Hmm... A little hard to choose between Injustice and Arkham Origins, but I'll have to go for the latter.

    Agreed. It was a bit of an eyesore on an otherwise decent outfit.

    Deathstroke's role may have been lackluster in Son of Batman, but I really liked his design. Might even buy the figure at some point.

    I voted for the Teen Titans animated version. It was my first exposure to the character. I remember thinking how scary he was, due in part to Ron Perlman of course. Did he ever remove his mask? The whole time I didn't know who or what he was. To be honest when I started picking up Teen Titans books a few years later I was a little upset to find out he was human. For that reason the Teen Titans animated version will always be my favorite.

    I loved his new 52 costume in the last arc, so I picked that. His Injustice costume and Teen Titans suit are a close second and third.

    I'm starting to think it wasn't Deathstroke on TT. His eye is on the wrong side, plus i've heard a crazy fan theory that it was actually Batman preparing the next generation of heroes

    The Batman: Arkham Origins costume is winning because it's an incredibly cool design, not because it's from something with "Batman" in the title. If your accusation was true, then Son of Batman's design would be doing far better.

    Classic Terminator tops the list, with Flashpoint (Piratestroke was so cool) as a close second. I'm not a fan of the armored looks...

    I'm going to tear everything he cares about away from him. Destroy those who choose to follow him. Corrupt those he loves. Once he has lost everyone and everything he values, I will drive an arrow through his eye.

    While the Teen Titians costume my not be the most badass, it is my far the most menacing. Simple and sleek, the Teen Titians Deathstroke was the first exposure I had to the character, and it immediately left its mark on me. The way the shadows played off his black and orange, skull-like mask, made a young child like myself cower away in a corner. However, not only is it menacing, but it is completely effective. While it lacks the sheer badass-ery of say Arkham Origins or his New 52 design, it makes up for in efficiency. It doesn't have all the heavy and oversized armor that some of the others have. It has just enough protective platting and pouches for space to make this Deathtroke, not only an effective killing weapon, but a man of a wicked sense of fashion. I mean, come on, it looks so cool!! :D But ya' know, nostalgia.

    I had a hard time picking between Son of Batman, and Arkham Origins. On one hand, I love everything about the Arkham Origins design. The heavy duty amount of amour, the helmet, the kevlar, everything about it is awesome. It's exactly how I picture a live action movie version of Deathstroke would look......However......I really like how in Son of Batman, the cloth comes down over his face and tucks under a chinstrap. It's a brilliant design.

    Guess I'll go with Arkham Origins, since I love everything about it and not just one thing.

    The mask was removed once during combat with the Titans. Robin kicked him so hard it shattered, but of course his face was obscured by shadows. That's the only time I can remember it actually coming off.

    I'm probably the only person but I vote for the blue/black costume. It just looks much more professional to me, and you can't lose with that color combination. Then again, I also like the UDON Taskmaster costume so I guess I'm weird like that.

    Their was another if you remember during the Trigon Saga, his mask is damaged and you can see one of his eyes. And later during the same saga its completely removed again but its a skeleton head and face since Slade is undead after being killed by Terra and resurrected by Trigon.

    Not a fan of the animated looks all that much, they are a bit to stream lined for me, But of all the armor looks I like the New 52 gear the most, he supposed to be fearsome looking as well as being armored up to handle any job thrown his way

    I think the classic suit just looks best from a design sense. The color balance and shapes/lines/textures work well.
