Bigger question can the suit stop TK that freely travels across the galaxy in a instant and through various force fields.
DS stops dead at 3 and 4 easy.
Are you sure that's Canon Vader and not Legends Vader? Also choking someone from a long distance away when they're not expecting it is completely different from choking them mid combat. Otherwise Vader could just do that to win every fight and not have to bother fighting in close quarters with his lightsaber like he consistently does.
Slade could lose Rounds 3-4 if Midnighter bisects him with a door or Vader/Maul TK chokes him. He's not making it past 5 and definitely not beating 6.
@juiceboks: The closest thing to doors the Ikon suit has protected Slade from would be Deadline's phasing although it still put him on the floor, if only briefly.
@lvenger: the Force gone through star destroyer shields in canon. As well shown the speed to force choke a man on a ship moving high speeds. Vader could not even see the guy in the ship.
Vader also use force tk many times in fights including other Jedi. Only real defense is having tk to counter which DS does not.
So unless Vader fights dumb, he would solo on Force TK alone.
@sirfizzwhizz: That Star Destroyer stuff sounds like Starkiller level nonsense. As for the other one I'm assuming that happened during the Vader Down crossover? Again, you haven't answered my previous point either, if Vader could just force choke almost anyone, why bother fighting up close? It's much more likely that if Vader saw Deathstroke charge at him with his sword, he'd respond with his lightsaber since he's in character. Canon Vader also includes Rebels and Rebels Vader never displayed that kind of capability during his fights with Kanan and Ezra or Ashoka.

I think he's talking about this scene.

It seems the Force is actually very difficult to counter with typical, or at least technological shields, since the Force is technically omnipresent and is already on the other side of the shield so it can still be manipulated. That's why Vader can bypass Star Destroyer's shields, hulls and lightyears of distance.
@alphaq: Oh that's what SFW meant. Again this was against a regular untrained Force user who Vader had visual eyesight of but I see the point. Not sure if Slade does have a counter to TK even with the Ikon suit.
@sirfizzwhizz: That Star Destroyer stuff sounds like Starkiller level nonsense. As for the other one I'm assuming that happened during the Vader Down crossover?
As for the crossover, the feat I am talking about is not a crossover.
Star Destroyer in space, shields up get by pass, and impressive as it is in space where Vader cannot see it or the captain. Force Chokes him. Another example.
Vader without looking targets the engine of a ship flying high speeds away.
Again, you haven't answered my previous point either, if Vader could just force choke almost anyone, why bother fighting up close?
I dont know. Why does Jean Grey chose to use TK and not just mind screw every foe with little to know mental resistance? Why does Iceman not molecule freeze everyone or make 1000s of clones of ice of himself every fight? Why does Ghost Rider not go full Zarathos every fight? Why did Thanos not one shot everyone with ease with IG instead a multi comic battle? Why does Superman not speed blitz at lightspeeds every foe off the bat? Why does Flash not speed steal every one he fights for easy wins? Why does Midnighter not Doors cut in half every foe he meets?
Your question is very unusual here on the battle boards. We are discussing what they shown and can do. Not why plot never lets them do it every time.
It's much more likely that if Vader saw Deathstroke charge at him with his sword, he'd respond with his lightsaber since he's in character.
And? The moment Vader realizes there is a shield he cannot by pass with said Saber, force abuse. So........
Canon Vader also includes Rebels and Rebels Vader never displayed that kind of capability during his fights with Kanan and Ezra or Ashoka.
Once again, your question and point on why he never does what he never does is asinine. Why does Deathstroke not prep fight every foe. He sure wins easy when he does, yet he charges into battle/mission with none of the JL/TT level prep he can do in plot.
BTW what makes you think Vader TK ragdolls Ahsoka?
Piss poor example as Ahsoka is powerful in the force too. A counter to just being TK ragdolled no matter what Ahsoka haters say.
@katrurius17: @uallhoes: He lost to both Superman and Wonder Woman. He was putting up a fight against both at separate times in Tony S. Daniel's God-Killer arc but Diana eventually knocked him out and he was later blitzed by Superman.
He's fought Clark two more times since then. He was doing well against him Christopher Priest's The Professional but Clark eventually got his hand around his throat and the fight was then interrupted by Jericho, who shut down the Ikon suit. Most recently in Superman #32 Clark busted the Ikon suit and Slade was forced to make a tactical retreat twice in the same issue, although ghosting him twice is still impressive.
