There's no contest here and Steve can only hope to get in Slade's way. Captain America's claims to fame are his tactical know-how, superior close-combat skills, and shield. Slade will out-think him, out-fight him, and because of his prep time, he'll know how Steve uses his shield.

Deathstroke vs Luke Cage
Luke Cage is physically stronger than Slade and he can take a lot of damage, his steel-hard skin not withstanding. Despite that, he's not exactly known for being a top hand-to-hand combatant (he's a flat out brawler) and he's not invincible. If Slade doesn't have sufficient strength to push a blade into Luke's body, the microwave projection beams on his staff will certainly do the trick. I know a handgun caliber bullet won't penetrate, but an armor-piercing high caliber rifle round might be able to. If Slade doesn't feel like messing around, this fight is over quick.

Deathstroke vs Wolverine
This'll be harder. Wolverine has a healing factor, unbreakable bones, enhanced senses, unbreakable and razor sharp claws, and superior hand-to-hand abilities. He isn't, however, more skilled than Deathstroke, and Slade is also stronger, faster, smarter, and also possessing of a healing factor. Because of Slade's week of prep time, he knows just how fast Wolverine can heal and that he's also a berserker -- which means he's prone to "black outs" in which he really won't think, but continuously swing with those claws of his. Piss Logan off, and Slade's tactical advantage becomes even more dangerous. If any of the street level members are a problem, it's this one.

Deathstroke vs Spider-Man
Spider-Man has extremely fast reflexes and web-shooters, and to top it all off, he's also Slade's physical superior. He isn't, however, as skilled in hand-to-hand combat and he's more easily prone to panic than the others. Spidey's reflexes might be fast, but Slade's are better (near, if not, instantaneous). Slade has stabbed Barry Allen and Wally West and shot Bart Allen while they were speed-blitzing, so Spidey's speed isn't much of a problem. His maneuverability, however, far exceeds Deathstroke, but he already knows that and comes prepared with tranquilizers. If Spidey comes straight at Slade, he's done. If he tries to outmanever him, he'll last longer, but eventually, he'll go down.

Deathstroke vs Spider-Woman
Jessica Drew can press around 7 tons, last I checked, is immune to all toxins and poisons and can emit beams of bioelectricty, powerful enough to kill an average man or woman when up close. She's stronger than Slade and probably faster too, with decent hand-to-hand training. Going up against up close isn't a viable method until she's been properly weakened and gas-related grenades will achieve nothing. She's no more durable than Spider-Man, however, without the added bonus of extremely swift reflexes. A bullet can take her out if sufficiently placed and timed, such as catching her off guard.

Deathstroke vs Matt Murdock
Matt is a skilled martial artist and boxer with enhanced senses (that give him 360 degree radar) and great agility. Unfortunately, Slade is also his superior in skill and I would daresay if pressed, he could also out-maneuver Matt. Matt's radar won't do much good when Slade doesn't need to hide. If Matt comes at Slade, he'll beat him into the ground, plain and simple. If Matt chooses to try and outmanuever Slade while tossing around his stick, this is something Slade can anticipate from his prep time.

Deathstroke vs Iron-Man
This is probably the hardest match up. Slade can't get at Tony Stark while he's in the armor; it far exceeds Slade's strength and durability. It cannot be magnetized, however, it is affected by EMP (from a huge detail of Tony's latest armor, it can emit a 50 foot radius EMP charge, but the suit has to fall back on a back-up solar-powered life support generator in order to remain minimally functional while the EMP lasts). Due to this, Slade could use an EMP to basically 'turn-off' Tony's armor and allow him to do nothing more than sit there and breathe in a big metal case. This could only, however, be a temporary solution.

But that's only one-on-one. Deathstroke vs Captain America
wrong! Cap is most certainly a better fighter than Slade and just because Slade knows how Steve uses the shield, doesn't mean that Steve still won't mix up his fighting style.
Deathstroke vs Luke Cage
Wrong! Cage isn't strictly a brawler, Iron fist has trained him in h2h. I doubt that a blade will work against Cage's level of Durability. An armor piercing round will definitely not work (he's been hit by armor piercing rounds before and shrugged them off). I highly doubt that Slade's energy blasting staff will do any lasting damage (Cage has shrugged off Iron Man's repulsor beams)Cage's skin isn't simply as hard as steel, that's just an expression (Cage himself even said so).
Deathstroke vs Wolverine
Wrong! Slade is not faster and I highly doubt that he is stronger. Even if Deathstroke is Logan's better in h2h, it isn't by a whole lot. It isn't a matter of pissing Logan off to make him go berserker (most of the times it takes him experiencing a very traumatic injury in order to go berserk).
Deathstroke vs Spider-Man
Wrong! Prone to panic? You're talking about a man that regularly has the fate of all of New York City, and on occasion the entire world hanging on his shoulders and you think that he's prone to panic!!?? Yeah, he isn't Deathsroke's superior in h2h but he's so much of his physical superior that that shouldn't matter at all.
I can tell you without a single doubt in my mind that Spider-man's reflexes are much better that Slade's(just cause you can pull out PIS related feats of Slade hitting mid to high meta speedsters doesn't mean that I can't pull out PIS related feats of Spidey hitting mid to high herald speedsters). The only chance that Slade would have against Spidey is gassing or poisoning him. Since Peter doesn't really showcase his strength, speed, and doesn't really make it known that he basically has a sixth sense, I doubt that Slade would really know just how deep in the shit he would be if he tried to fight Peter.
Deathstroke vs Matt Murdock
Wrong! I don't think that Slade is Dare Devil superior in h2h and DD's enhanced physicality would at least even out the fight if Slade is his better in h2h. Slade will most certainly not Beat Matt into the ground, it would be a very had and long fight even if Slade did win in the end. Guns won't do Deathstroke any good, because DD is most certainly a bullet timer.
Deathstroke vs Iron-Man
Wrong! Would Slade know for a fact that an EMP could affect it? Even so, Stark could just jump out of the suit, and get into another one while the other Avengers hold Slade off.
You're acting like these are single match ups and they fight one at a time (that isn't the case). Slade will have to fight Spidey, Logan, Dare Devil, Captain America, Luke Cage, Spider Woman, and Iron Man at the same time. Even with a week of prep, that is not something that I see him doing
