He was a musical prodigy, showing very early signs of intelligence and on the higher end of the percentile growth for others his age. He even showed incredible skill when it came to arts and crafts, painting a portrait of their family at just a few years old. Fascinated with his son's abilities, Slade (unknown to Adeline) began to experiment on Joseph, though it seemed that his efforts were in vain as nothing came to the surface. When Joseph was three, he was held hostage by the terrorist, Jackal in an effort to obtain information from his father. Deathstroke refused to cooperate with Jackal, citing a violation of his professional code of ethics. Deathstroke managed to rescue his son, but not before one of Jackal's men cut his throat. As a result, Joseph was rendered mute. Following the incident, Adeline divorced Slade after trying to kill him with a knife but only ended up being able to cut his eye out. She took Joseph and his older brother Grant with her away from Slade, cutting ties with him forever. Later in life, Joseph learned to communicate through sign language and despite the horrific events in his life, managed to cope with the memories by means of extensive therapy and turned out to be a very happy little boy. In his late teens, Joey (as Adeline started calling him, no longer wanting any association with her ex-husband) discovered that he possessed the metahuman power to take possession of any humanoid being by making eye contact with it, a result of biological experimentations done by his father years before. The ability came just in time, as he was able to use it to save him mother from an assassin who had been sent to gather information from her about Slade. It was then that Adeline could no longer keep Grant and Joseph's father a secret from them any longer, and reminded them about Slade Wilson. Sometime later, Adeline and Joseph discovered that Deathstroke had accepted a contract on the Teen Titans. Since Joseph was aspiring to become a member of the Titans, they desperately approached Dick Grayson to help him defend against Deathstroke, with Joseph adopting the identity of Jericho. The rescue mission was a success, and Jericho subsequently joined the team, but the Titans were initially wary of him because of his relationship to Deathstroke, and the betrayal of a former team member, Terra. Despite the Titan's weariness, Jericho was a loyal Titan for many years. Shortly after he joined the Titans, another new member, Kole, joined, and Jericho immediately developed a very close bond with her despite his slight interest in men. However, unbeknownest to anyone, Jericho was possessed by the souls of Azarath, tainted by the essence of the demon Trigon, Raven's father. Unable to possess Raven herself, the souls entered Jericho. They were weak at first, but are slowly gaining strength with time to eventually merged with him. The only thing Joseph has noticed being out of the norm is a slight change in his powers.

While he is in possession, Jericho has access to all of that host's powers (physical, mental, and magical), and is also able to tap into their memories. Jericho's victims stay conscious and may even express themselves vocally, but they are not able to control the actions of their bodies as directed by Jericho. If the person is unconscious, Jericho can use their voice to speak, albeit with their accent and only using the words they know. While in this state, Jericho sometimes uses the American manual alphabet letter "J" as his Sign name in order to signal to his allies that he has taken possession of a person without alerting others. This power is most effective on human or meta-human bodies; when Jericho once possessed Superman, he was unable to maintain control of the Kryptonian brain for very long. He is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and able to hold his own against his father. Jericho's power depends on eye contact with living beings; if he is blinded, or the being he attempts to possess is not a natural creature, his power fails. In this way, he was tricked by his teammate Cyborg during a training exercise, when the latter closed his natural eye and Jericho failed to take possession by attempting to contact his artificial eye. Jericho has since overcome this limitation and was able to control Cyborg through his electronic eye. Jericho has also shown the ability to regrow his gouged out eyeballs; this feat apparently came with the price of a still impaired vision, but the return of his possession ability in its full capacity. When he becomes fully possessed by the spirits of Azarath, Jericho has a powerful lion soul self and a healing ability. This will heal his vocal cords and allow for him to speak again. [b]Other[/b] Although his father was the reason that Jericho can no longer speak, Joseph doesn't hold any ill-feelings towards his father. He only fights Slade when he attacks the Teen Titan's personally, but does not allow their relationship to get in the way. If anything, Joseph feels pity for his father, and hopes that one day, he and his brother Grant, will see the light. By all means and purposes, Joseph has already forgiven his father for everything he has ever done.
