Does Captain America Always Win: Captain America vs Deathstroke

Callouts:

Both have comparable stats, although I would give Slade the slight edge in skill and gear. I'll wait for some compelling non biased arguments.

Deathstroke better everything cept travel speed. Plus he has more dangerous toys

EDIT: just read new 52 version, Cap could take this but DS is still faster in combat and has the deadlier weapons and better durability with the armor

Just to clarify, this is Deathstroke with N-th metal armor?

@cable_extreme: Standard gear so yes.

@jashro44@thewatcherking@indomitableregal@allstarsuperman@valor_175

@_kingoflatveria: I would argue that Slade could match Cap in traveling speed. And yes, I am talking New-52.

@chronicplane: Can you stop tagging me for these?

Is that Ultimate Captain America?

@valor_175: @thewatcherking: Any exceptions to this if there's any characters that are put up against Steve you would be interested in, Other than that I'll remove you.

Steve Rogers is regular version (No Hydra Cap)

Made it pretty clear in the description.

@chronicplane: I was talking about the picture, which clearly is Ultimate Captain America.

@krleavenger: My bad if it is and regardless if it bothers you or not poles can't be edited so unfortunately it's the way it is. (Plus there isn't a great deal of good Cap pics)

I'm going with Slade. He was a bit "tankier" in N52 IIRC, and though they're comparable in terms of stats, I think Slade has a bit of an advantage in gear/armor.

@chronicplane: It does not bother me. I just pointed that out. I'm completely fine with you. Although, you can find a lot of cool Captain America picks on his wiki page on Comic Vine.

Eh, if this was PC DS he’d win. But I think N52 DS is a much closer fight.

I’ll back DS, but it’s anybodys game really.

Darkseid easy if there's prep and minor difficulty with no prep. Doesn't spade have a gravity barrier suit that can block Superman's punches or is that not New 52?

Cap can win this since this is new 52.

Who the hell claims that Cap always wins?

Slade’s got this, he’s got consistently better combat speed, equal reactions, better skill, and gear that he can use to put Cap down fairly quick. They should be roughly equal in pretty much all physicals. Slade should win 8/10 times.

bump

Slade, handily.

They're not that close in stats. Skill is close, but fighting on par with Bruce puts him on a higher level in my opinion.

Could go either way.

Cap is stronger and faster. Skill is debatable.
However Slade's gear makes this really close.

Slade has better reaction/combat speed and gears, he wins

I put them at pretty close to equal in all stats and skills but there's no doubt about it, Slade has way more in the weapons/gear department. I'd have to go with him at least a 6-7/10 on this one. Hand to hand it's anyone's game.

What is right and what is wrong is subjective in this case, hence if majority thinks a certain thing is right and you are not part of that majority you consider that thing to be wrong.

Christopher Priests words ? What did he say ?

They are at least equals in everything. Edge to Slade.

They are not equal physically. Cap is definitely stronger. I guess you could make a case of Slade being just as fast or faster, but from what I have seen ... he isn't

The Sentinel of Liberty

@renny: Is Priests implying that Cap can split Bat’s skull with a single haymaker?

@renny said:

Here are Priests words.

I agree with everything he wrote in there.
Why shouldn't his word be enough for me ? He literally wrote that they are on the same power-level. I agree.

Either Steve or Slade would stomp Batman. I always said that as well ...

Cap has a slight strength and speed advantage imo. Slade is still in the same tier of stats - low level superhuman.

@chronicplane: Hey how do you combine pics as in the OP?

@shirso: microsoft paint software lol

@renny: where is this from btw ?

The problem with authors' statements in comics is that every character has undergone dozens if not hundreds of writers over the years, and different authors have different takes and opinions on the character. Priest says one thing, another author could say something else.

Deathstroke.

Having armour all over your body is better than just having a shield in terms of defence. What puts Slade over Cap other than his defensive advantage are his looser morals and superior gear, which is enough to give him the win considering both are pretty even in the stats and skill departments.

Oh that, I just use microsoft, copy and paste the images on there and put them together (also, you know cropping the images and sorting the size) then snip tool that and save it for me to upload on CV.

@undefined:

Deathstroke that has trouble with Batman hand to hand loses. DS with prep tactics wins.

@blitzsikes: His Ikon suit is from rebirth and even if rebirth was being used I doubt that the suit would be taken into account because of how unfair it is against Cap.

On topic:

I see Cap as having the superior, though not by a huge gap.

However, DS has comparable stats (He's faster though IMO) plus he has the gear to boot.

Slade puts Cap down faster than Wade.
