Morals: Deathstroke is a merc. Killing is basically his job. I wouldn't expect him to start out with anything less than killshots right off the bat. Black Panther has been pretty brutal in the past, and has never been known as a pansy of any sort, but he's also primarily a hero. I wouldn't expect him to immediately use lethal measures against an enemy he's never met before. I agree with a lot of your post, but I felt the need to address this one. I wouldn't lump T'Challa with traditional heroes, and his morals aren't exactly in the same ballpark, neither. He's more of an anti-hero, but to a very subtle degree. There are times when he felt lethal force was necessary, even against enemies he's never met. There are quite a few examples. If under the impression that Deathstroke was going for the kill, T'Challa would do whatever it takes to survive, even if it means killing his opponent. After all, T'Challa was trained to kill from a young age. Wakanda is primarily a warrior nation, besides it's technological aspects. Also, as far as skill is concerned, I don't think Deathstroke has that edge. I'm sure he's skilled enough to fight T'Challa, but I don't think his showings make him better skilled than T'Challa. |

The energy daggers as i recall can cut through anything and his anti metal claws have also cut through Adamantium , that's why I said it. The energy daggers, at the highest setting, cut through steel. They wouldn't cut through adamantium, but as I told Nexus, they could phase through adamantium with damaging it. So even though wrong, I was right since they could cut slade through his armor ;D |

I think Deathstroke in a very close match. Black Panther has superior skill and equipment but I think Deathstroke's powers might be too much of an advantage.

I think Deathstroke in a very close match. Black Panther has superior skill and equipment but I think Deathstroke's powers might be too much of an advantage. I can understand yu saying that against current T'Challa, but if it's classic (OP says with heart shaped herb, vibranium gear etc) I don't see how he has that big an advantage. T'Challa's stats with the herb aren't that far behind Slade. He has enhanced strength, speed agility as well. The only real advantage I see is that because of teh way Slade processes information ( 90% of his brain and all) he can react faster. The way I see it this is off set by T'Challa just being smarter. Plus with his Vibrainium gear it will absorb part of Slade's attacks. I see this as a very close contest, I wouldn't personally rule either one out and IMO it could go either way and go down to the wire. |
