Keeping things short as I can on this one. Who's the all-time favorite; Slade or Wade? I know Wade is meant as a joke between the companies as to say Slade and he are related, but who is the best in loyur opinions?
Deathstroke
Character » Deathstroke appears in 1336 issues.
Genetically engineered to surpass all human limits, Slade Wilson was once a soldier but now works as one of the most feared assassins in the DC Universe. He has frequently clashed with the Teen Titans, Batman, Green Arrow, the Justice League, and even gods!
Deathstroke & Deadpool
To me comparing Deathstroke the Terminator to Deadpool is like comparing a brand new spiffy mercedes to a broken down carriage without a horse.
Deathstroke is just better in every way that matters to make me want to read him.
Lame? Deadpool, yes because they continually put him where he doesn't belong; comics that aren't his. Adding him to the X-Force might not have been the wise choice on Marvel's behalf (even though he was somewhat of Cable's friend). Deathstroke is like not used like he should be sometimes.
" They're both pretty lame nowadays, but Deathstroke just for sh**s and giggles. "i agree. But Deadpool for sh**s and giggles.
i don't see the appeal of deathstroke personally. i read all his old series when he still had the "Terminator" on the end of his name. And you know what? Wintergreen had more interesting things to say than Slade.
Yea he's a bad ass merc... but to me, his personality is about as engaging and interesting as watching paint dry.
At least Deadpool has a personality... love it or hate it is all down to opinion. And Deadpool is actually a much more psychologically complex character with a much more compelling origin story. Because let's be honest, Deathstrokes origin is basically a straight up rip off of Captain America's... without the interesting parts. Plus Deadpool has never received the Mary Sue/Gary Stu treatment like Slade has. Tripping up the Flash? Out manouvering Superman? GTFO. Terrible writing.
Also... what the hell is up with his strange fascination with children? Is the guy a peedo or something? lol.
At the end of the day Deathstroke has never, ever, ever had a book anywhere near the level of Joe Kelly's Deadpool. Or even Cable and Deadpool for that matter.
Seriously??????!!!!!!!!!!!!! SLADE COULDN'T KICK HIS ASS???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" @CrimsonAlchemist: Seriously??????!!!!!!!!!!!!! SLADE COULDN'T KICK HIS ASS???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "It's true, see
no, because it's not even close to one, it's a floor wiping with Deathstroke delivering." @mavfan626: DAMMIT!!!!!!!! Let's just call it a tie. I love them both, now drop it please. "
It's funny reading all they's comments! It's like watching a huge tug-of-war game and it's gettin' brutale man! lol.
P.S.
!!!!!DEADPOOL!!!!!

Go DeadPool!!
Can someone explain to me what makes Deathstroke appealing? And if you say it's because he is like a bad version of Batman and because he is a bad ass i will laugh at you.
i'm talking characterization, personality etc etc.
not just "COZ HE IS TEH BAD ASS WHO CAN TRIP UP FLASH!!!111" which yea, was terrible, terrible, terrible Mary Sue writing.
People,. you should really notice, some character are cool just for the fact how they are.
Deathstroke is cool in his own way.
So many people attack Deadpool fans for the fact they attack Deathstroke to make Deadpool look better, that is wrong, and make Deadpool look bad.
I like Both, i like more Deadpool, but i i like both for diferent reasons.
I ain't attacking Deathstroke to make Deadpool look better. I'm not attacking Deathstroke at all. I'm just curious as to what his appeal is.
People always say Deadpool is a lame rip off of Deathstroke... but from what i've read of Deathstroke, which is quite a lot, Deathstroke is lame anyway. He's some super duper bad ass yea i know that... but there needs to be more than that to make a good character.

Deathstroke is that style of characters that always will have a fan base, but if you dont like him, is for the fact you dont like Deahstroke style characters.
You, know what you say, is the same that so many people thing about Deadpool.
I like Deathstroke, why, well he is smart, he dont have that Jack Bauer feeling, that i could beat any one.
I mean, i dont understand why people like the Punisher, for me he is over and he have no place in Marvel anymore.
" @SladeRogers said:O_O Is that a freakin' dog sticking out of his back?! xD" @CrimsonAlchemist: Seriously??????!!!!!!!!!!!!! SLADE COULDN'T KICK HIS ASS???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "It's true, see

HA!!!! It Totally is, I never noticed that before!!! That's awesome on so many levels, and I though the spatula was funny, the dog was the icing on top of the cake.
Also here is another image I just found.

But i gotta disagree with one point you made... Deathstroke is written as a Mary Sue most of the time. I mean, he beat the Flash? Ran rings round Superman? That's just atrocious writing.

The same could be say about Deadpool, how many time he beat guys, stronger and better than him?
And also all the times he lost to look cool, i know youe like Deadpool, but almost every character have mary sue storylines
Did you mean beat Flash? Did you remember all the Flash villians? I mean he could go an try to beat Captain Boomerang and still i belive Captain is a better character that Flash.
Some people like some character adn other likess other characters.
The same question yo do about Deatstroke could be done about Deadpool.
Still not everybody will like Deadpool.
@the ace of knaves:
Okay I agree with you arguments, but can we please keep the Punisher out of this dudes........
Deadpool is a "lol so random" fad for people who aren't even into comics. Deathstroke a lot cooler in my opinion.
