Rose introduces herself as the daughter of Slade and "the Ravager"
In Teen Titans Go! #49, Ravager returns to Jump City, hoping to claim "what is rightfully hers". Ravager finds Wintergreen and Professor Chang, both of whom had something which belonged to her father. It is revealed here that all of Slade's robot commandos were built by Professor Chang. However, Professor Chang had already sold the robots to General Immortus in Teen Titans Go! #35, which angers Ravager so much that she leaves him shaking with fear when the Titans come to his aid. Now Ravager goes on a rampage in Jump City, determined to carry on her father's legacy; defeating the Teen Titans once and for all. However, after fighting with them, Ravager understands that she does not have to carry on her father's legacy, and needs not follow in his footsteps as another enemy of the Titans. The Titans offer her home a and a family and they tell her that she is free to make her own decisions in life. Touched by the Titans' words of friendship, she decides to frequently train (but not officially join) with them until she is ready to face her future as a better person.
After the return of Slade, only time will tell what effect it will have on Ravager.
Trivia
- In the original comics, Rose Wilson wasn't the first character named Ravager. The first to bear the name Ravager was Slade's firstborn son Grant. Grant once tried to kill the Titans, but he ended up getting killed himself. Since then, other criminals assumed the name "Ravager" until it was taken by Rose.
- In the original comics, she actually cut out her eye in an effort to emulate her father instead of wearing a mask.
- in The Apprentice, Part 2, Slade had said to Robin that may even be like a father to him. He did, however, reference the fact that he already was a father or has any children.
- In the Teen Titans Go! episode "Cool School" Rose had broken out of jail and was later befriended by Raven. The two eventually fell out when Ravager wanted to hurt an old man, but was stopped by Raven, therefore ending their friendship. She was then returned to prison.
- Rose shares some similarities with Karai in the fourth season of the 2003 series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. After her adoptive father, the Utrom Shredder, was defeated and exiled; a vengeful Karai vowed to follow in his footsteps and became the new Shredder, determined to terminate the Turtles' once and for all in the name of her "father." Also, Karai's main weapon was a katana.
