Who Would You Rather Be? Deathstroke or Black Panther?
If I just had their powers? Deathstroke. That brain would be invaluable on the battlefield. Not to mention the enhanced physical prowess. Being a King sounds great, until you realize you likely aren't cut out to lead a nation. If I had to be them in their respective universes, as in BE their exact character, Black Panther all the way.
But just adopting their powers and abilities to my life, Deathstroke.
I dunno if I could be bothered with actually running Wakanda as king. Not my thing. Otherwise, I like the sound of T'Challa's skills, intellect and powers better.
I'd pick him and just abdicate then start a company selling tech based on good old Wakandan know-how and my super-smarts. Make a killing, fight crime on the side. The black Batman, ladies and gentlemen. Only with a much slicker animal theme.
Black Panther hands down. That money, power, and, on top of all that, being a member of one of the most well connected superhero groups.
Deathstroke all the way.
Black Panther. He has intelligence, wealth and magic.
Why would I want any of the responsibilities of BP? Deathstroke has the skills and money. Life is good.
Panther. I'd sell half my vibranium, buy Antarctica, and live out the rest of my days forcing penguins to construct a giant ice fort for me. I would dwell within it an call it "the Castle of Aloneness". Deathstroke couldn't do that.
Deathstroke wouldn't buy Antarctica, he would kill the owner and take it for himself.
@elderskaar: But where would he get the kajillions of dollars to pay all those poor little penguins?
He'll threaten them all to do his bidding
Why would someone like to be Deathstroke.. He is a badass fictional character, but I don't see why someone would like to be like him.
An international criminal or the King of the most advanced nation on Earth. Hmm... let me think about it.
Black Panther. He wins in every category unless you want to kill for money.
nah Deathstroke is superior when you compare them for a fight, especially when you consider Deathstroke would go for the kill a lot faster than Black Panther. But I feel you, Black Panther is easily a better person to be lol, it'd be dumb to wanna be Deathstroke over somebody like BP
@itouchedtheboat: Idk. I've seen panther kill people very quickly and Dick grayson is still alive as are all of the Titans. All of Panthers rouges except maybe 4 are dead.

That's true, but it's only because Deathstroke has never been hired to kill any of the Titans, he's even told Batman that all he needs is someone to hire him to kill Batman and it'll be over.
I've always felt like Black Panther was closer to Batman, with T'challa being slightly higher. Deathstroke is kind of on another level.
@itouchedtheboat: Lol BP is definitely closer to Slade then Batman.. what makes you even say that?

Deathstroke has feats that are just kind of out of their league. Consistent feats I've seen Black Panther do are things I can imagine Batman being written to do as well. However from what I've seen, neither BP or Batman have ever sliced multiple bullets, limbs and guns all in one panel (or at least shown they are capable of doing a feat like that), or dodge a bullet point blank after it's been shot like DS has. Also, the strength I've seen from Deathstroke just isn't something either of them can accomplish.
Perhaps my gauge between them can be a little off, but for the most part my point still stands.
@itouchedtheboat: Regardless Of Slades’s feats. BP is still way above Batman tier wise.
Deathstroke and Black Panther are both high street tiers, whereas Batman is mid-street. BP is arguably the most skilled out of the 3, whereas Slade has the best stats.
Though I’m a bit behind on the comics I identify more with Slade and his inner struggles with his family and stuff. As a character Tchalla is probably more principled, but Slade operates closer to the moral spectrum I see myself on.

like I said, I've never seen a feat of Black Panther's and thought 'there's no way Batman could be written like that'. He's been tagged by people who would tag Batman, and he's tagged people the same way Batman would.
What do you mean by skilled?

So you're a psychopath who finds it difficult to emotionally connect to family members.
@socajunkie: I was wondering the same.
I'd rather be Panther but voted for Slade years ago, now I'm wiser lol. That said the list of Slade's sexual partners is much greater than T'Challa. Since people are using that as a criteria for some reason I thought I'd drop it.
