Ok, Deathstroke's fight with JLA has been discussed in some threads that include him, so I just though that I might post it here. Identity Crisis #3.

It was believable, except for the crap strategy used against Flash.
Even if DS put the sword right where Flash was going to hit him, Flash can still see him doing it and change his position before DS can make another move.

Agree, but they had to make him beat Flash someway...

I think his mind thinks at computer speeds, so he may be able to hit Flash...and maybe Flash wasn't able to accelerate as fast in that small space:

Here is an cool scan, and it implies that Flash can't be as fast if he doesn't have space to move:

i think GL's tsactics were the most stupid thing in the fight...... if you had a ring that could create anything you could possibly imagine, would you attack a guy who is stronger, faster and smarter than you with your fists??????

All I can say is... PWNED

We'd all make better super heroes than the ones in the comics. Where's that radioactive spider when you need him??

yeah, as pointed out on that same comic page.... wally is faster ,yes, but deathstroke has a faster reaction time... how its possible, i have no idea, but they say it in the comic itself. So, sure, wally could beat him in any sort of movement, but DS reacted too quickly for Flash to make adjustments for....

Yeah, true. That's the one thing that really sucked in the fight => the writer decided DS had to win, and if that means that a JLA-member has to fight like a retard, well, so be it.

well i took the "quicker where it counts" comment as meaning Slade is smarter and is able to mentally switch between plans faster rather than actual physial reaction time

GL and Flash were two of them. . . though is it really standard for him to have microscopic vision to beat atom like that?

Atom wasn't microscopic when he spotted him.... it was after he went to attack him that he shrank further and became vulnerable to the laser pen

illest mofoker ever

the gl bit was ridiculous for a number of reasons. first that gl would stand there and wait until he beat everyone else (which certainly took at least a minute - what the hell was gl doing while slade was looking for atom??) then that slade could actually somehow BREAK kyle's fingers (what happened to his f'n shield??) and thirdly, that he could somehow command the ring??

the flash bit was interesting - i think basically slade left flash with no options BUT to attack him where slade knew he was coming. assuming his reflexes are near computer speeds, and that flash was tricked into coming into a very confined space, i don't really have a problem with how he took flash out. even IF flash could see the attack at the last second, he might not have had anywhere to go BUT straight into the blade.

i thought the whole scene was cool right up until he fought gl. that sort of ruined it for me. not sure what else they could have done, but that part of the battle NEEDED to be better. it watered the effectiveness ofeverything else down for me.

slade is STILL wayyyy cool, though!

Awesome fight, except it makes the GL looks pathetic. He stands around for 5 minutes, swings his fist at him instead of using the ring, has his fingers broken somehow despite the ring, and then loses all ability to use it....

What the hell did slade do to black canary i mean i saw him go for her but i dont udnerstand

Deathstroke's senses are enhanced, which is how he saw the Atom. As Ollie explains to us, he hears "the click in her jaw"; Slade hears Dinah's jaw moving and with his instantaneous reflexes, he begins moving immediately. He gets there in time, jumps over, tags and bags her, and effectively cuts off her Canary Cry whilst detaining her. And who can help her? Everyone else is busy getting their faces owned.



I've heard talk of Kyle Rayner being one to panic at inopportune times. If this is true, then the moment everything went to hell with Flash being taken out of the game faster than the Green Arrow can utter the word "Don't.", he probably panicked. And you assume this fight actually takes five minutes. As I said earlier, Wally is gone before Ollie can say his single four-letter word in urgency. If you notice, every movement Slade makes takes him directly towards his next target. He punches out Zatanna, leaps into the air at Hawkman, comes down to cut Ollie's arrows, leaps backwards to tag/bag Dinah, goes after Atom, and then fights Kyle. The whole thing took possibly two minutes, tops.

Everytime I see this fight, it makes me laugh.
The uberbadassness of it makes me giddy.

Slade choked Canary with a zip bag so she couldn't scream.
The GL ring runs off of will power, kyle seeing his team being taken down one by one loses a bit of willpower I'd think.
Plus, this isn't the first time Slade took out a GL, he broke Hal's jaw, and nearly stole his ring too.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the zip bag so that was it....cool

also i thought the whole wally gets taken out instantly thing was accpetable to beat a speedster you simply have to get him to run into-and-or over something .....such as a landmine (with wide explosive range)

NO shit , deathstroke took out hal ......damn now that is impressive*


*NOTE-I am not beign sarcastic it is actually quite impressive

The only thing that was even remotely odd here was the Green Lantern, and that can be explained by Kyle being hesitant and a bit panicky. Everything else was well in the realm of possible and it proves just how smart Slade is.

THIS IS MY BADASS METER

Any anime character - 6/10


slade (teen titans cartoon rendition) -7/10

Ashley 'ash' J Williams (evil dead two and three) - 7 and three quarters/10

kill bill volume one and volume two -8/10

Deathstroke just then- 10/10

He flipped out when GA stuck him in his false eye.
The eye is more of a mental thing than a physical henderance, he usually has a cybernetic eye to see infra-red and the like.

At the end DS sticks his damaged mask to the wall with a note to GA saying: "This is yours, we aren't done yet.".

I think he's since lost the cybernetic eye. And it DID hurt Slade, but it was more pain than actual damage; more of an insult, like you said.

That thing with the mask WAS awesome.

The danger room fight from Astonishing X-men # 10 reminds me of this one.

Yeah, they do to me as well. Very refined.

I dig this fight of the month idea, we should start posting scans of favorite fights.
I got Slade vs 200 gorillas! hilarious.

i always Thought between the two octopus's ( otto and caryle ) was pretty damn cool

I'd like to see that entire fight.
