From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dare the Terminator (AKA: Slade Murdock) is a mercenary and an anti-hero in Amalgam Comics, who first appeared in Assassins #1 in 1996, though in Amalgam continuity, her debut was in the metafictional Dare the Terminator #1. Dare is a combination of Daredevil of Marvel Comics, and Deathstroke the Terminator and Ravager of DC Comics.

[edit] History
Slade Murdock was a blind mercenary in New Gotham City acting under the name of "Dare", because of the dares she took, and that few dared to challenge her. In Issue #4 of Dare the Terminator, she was captured by Enigma Fisk, the mayor of New Gotham City, who implanted two devil horns into her skull to make her look more like a daredevil. Despite being blind, Dare also had her one eye shot out by a criminal named Deadeye, forcing her to wear an eyepatch.
When Tombstone the Ravager (another mercenary) wanted Dare out of the picture, he hired another assassin, Catsai to eliminate Dare. Surprisingly, Catsai and Dare struck up a friendship, and killed Tombstone instead.
Together, Catsai and Dare operated together, and were called to assassinate Enigma Fisk by an unknown benefactor. This turned out to be a plot by Fisk to heighten his political stance. Fisk tore Slades' horns from her head, as well as her brains. Dare presumably died, but was resurrected after a visit by Dr. Strangefate in the unpublished Assassins #2.
In Universe-Two (the alternate reality featuring Lobo the Duck), Dare is among the dead heroes.
[edit] Relatives
Although Catsai is the closest thing Dare has to a family, Slade Murdock has two daughters. The first is Jericha, a member of the Mutant Titans (an X-Men / Teen Titans infusion that never fully appeared in Amalgam Comics), who was killed in Mutant Titans #83. The other is the metamutant Terra-X, a former member of the Mutant Titans and a foe of the X-Patrol. The father(s) of these daughters have never been revealed.
[edit] Powers and Abilities
Although being blind, Dare possesses a powerful "hypersensitive radar" as a sixth sense, helping her to see things mentally rather than physically. She is also skilled with a variety of bladed weapons.
