So...... not an Aussie who goes batshit simply because a girl didn't hook up with him?
In the comics (pre New-52, I don't know what his story is in the reboot) he was a young kid who lied about his age to join the Army to serve in Korea. After serving a tour in Korea, he would fall in love with his commanding officer and had children with her (and married her). Later on in Vietnam in the 60's, the Army used him in a series of experiments to create metahuman supersoldiers (Captain America with guns, basically). He and his unit were sent on a suicide mission which he barely got out of, and he deserted the military, though his family stayed. Deathstroke would then sell his skills as a mercenary, and his youngest son would be taken hostage by a criminal group in order to lure Deathstroke to them, so they could learn who hired him as an assassin in a recent job he had taken. He refused to say anything and killed the criminals, but one of the criminals slashed his son's throat. He didn't die, but his vocal chords were damaged and he was rendered mute.
He took his son to the hospital and his wife, knowing that he was a danger to them with his job as a mercenary/assassin (as shown by their son being taken hostage and nearly killed), tried to kill him by shooting him in the face, but she instead only shot him in his right eye, blinding him in that eye (which is why his mask is half black over the right side). Without the mask, he wears an eye patch.
So yeah, not an Aussie who got mad that a girl rejected him. They also made him way younger in the show, where he's around Ollie's age (though he's got a few years on Ollie). One of the things that's cool about Deathstroke is that he's a middle-aged guy who can take on all of the core members of the Justice League, and win. In the show, he's nothing more than a petty terrorist. He's the deadliest assassin in the DCU, outclassing even Deadshot (who they kind of pooped on in Arrow as well).
