The Jackal is a member of H.I.V.E. and its reformer. The Jackal invited Deathstroke to join H.I.V.E., a terrorist organization, and was refused. Jackal's superiors would not take "no" for an answer. Adeline Wilson tucked Joseph in for the night and stepped outside the bedroom. The Jackal grabbed her by the neck. He promised she would be dead already if he wanted. She asked what he wanted. Jackal replied he wanted her son. Wilson kneed and headbutted him then kicked him through the railing. He fell down to the lower floor. She warned him if he was looking for a helpless victim, he came to the wrong house. She leaped down but he dodged her stomp. They fought. Wilson tossed him over her shoulder and charged. He counter punched and kneed her. Jackal's hand lit up and he electrocuted her. She fell on her face. Jackal laughed and told her she was out of practice then rolled her onto her back. He mused hearing she was once something to behold before marriage and motherhood made her soft. He broke one of her arms.

Jackal listed off her credentials, leader of the Team Seven, an elite squad within the Green Berets, and she trained Slade Wilson and made him into the killing machine he is today. She didn't know what he was talking about and stated he was a businessman. Jackal was amused and told her there was so much she didn't know. She demanded to know who he was. He only replied he was the Jackal then stomped her unconscious. Slade Wilson was dropped off at his home. He walked in and things in disarray. He ran up to Joseph's bedroom and found Adeline. She stated "he" said if she called the police, their son was dead. Wilson asked who did it. She continued and said "he" wanted him. Wilson took the note she had. She stated he called himself the Jackal. Wilson feigned ignorance. She slapped him and asked him if it was nothing but lies. He still acted like he had no idea what was going on. She stated Jackal told her Wilson was a mercenary named Deathstroke. Wilson promised he would bring their son back along with Jackal's carcass.

Adeline Wilson stated they didn't need him. She could not stand and was angry it was broken. Wilson added it was broken in several places. He held out his hand. She told him to leave. Wilson was but paused and promised they would talk after. She wanted him not to even try to lie to her again then ordered him to just bring Joseph home and God help him if he failed. Wilson stated he never failed. Deathstroke entered a dark building. From somewhere in the dark, Jackal mockingly asked how his wife was. Deathstroke demanded he show himself. Jackal stepped forward. Deathstroke wanted his son. Jackal promised he was fine and just a bargaining chip. He told him to accept the bargain and Joseph would not get hurt. Deathstroke stated he would not work with H.I.V.E., the same answer he gave before. Jackal respected his answer but he pointed out his superiors didn't. Bronze Tiger and another operative appeared. Jackal shared his superiors thought Deathstroke's skills would be of great value to the organization.

Deathstroke called them terrorists. Jackal preferred equal opportunity murderers who sold their services to the highest bidder. He felt they were just like Deathstroke except they thought globally. Deathstroke wondered how many innocent people, women, and children died at his hands. Jackal admitted he lost count but declared they were all murderers under the skin, it was just a matter of scale. He found morality to be a delusion that fools wear like a comforting cloak. He didn't think Deathstroke was a fool. A monster, but not a fool. Deathstroke agreed he was a monster but he only killed if the cause was right. He claimed there were lines he wouldn't cross. Jackal countered the widows and children of the soldiers he murdered in San Miguel would not agree. He stated men like them pretended to have hearts and souls but underneath that was only darkness. Deathstroke still declined to join. Jackal implored him to reconsider. Tiger and the operative charged him.

Eventually, Deathstroke flipped his swords and stabbed the operative through her chest and through Tiger's right arm. Jackal saw enough. The lights came on and a giant H.I.V.E. console was revealed. The operative reached for Jackal then died. Deathstroke threw her to his feet. Jackal knelt down and stared at her body then stood back up. He told Deathstroke he just proved his point. He revealed she was an extraordinary operative but clearly not extraordinary enough and Bronze Tiger's skills were legendary. Deathstroke demanded his son. Jackal demanded an answer. A part of the floor opened and a glass enclosure rose up. Joseph Wilson was held at knife point by a H.I.V.E. Soldier. Deathstroke severed Tiger's arm and threw out a flash bomb. He stabbed Jackal through his gut and threw him aside. He told Joseph not to be afraid and charged. Deathstroke broke through but he wasn't fast enough. The soldier slit his throat then was killed. Deathstroke picked Joseph up then leveled the building with three grenades. Tiger dragged Jackal to safety and went down the floor lift.

Deathstroke spent several years dismantling H.I.V.E. once and for all. Not all of H.I.V.E. was destroyed. The survivors went underground and regrouped. Jackal decided H.I.V.E. needed reorganization and new leadership. Bronze Tiger wiped out all of Jackal's competition. Jackal then very quietly reformed H.I.V.E. into dozens of independent cells scattered across the world. Jackal held onto a strong hatred of Deathstroke.
