... Aside from equipment DP is better then Slade in every conceivable way, and even then he has some pretty nice gear stored away for special occasions. On that same note Wade is also better then Midnighter in every way, not the least of which is his healing factor, a healing factor that Midnighter couldn't hope to over whelm.
Aside from a lucky decapitation Midnighter loses.

i thought it was the other way around now. slade being able to use 90% of his brain and all. granted wade can't die i don't actually think he's the better combatant of the two. i read on a different thread by all included readers that DS is by far DP's superiour.
further more, i believe that midnighter has nano technology that allows him countless possible offensive choices within nano seconds. aside from that he has superhuman speed, reflex, strength, and agility. i could be horribly mistaken but that's what i've been told and read.
Deathstroke is definitely the better tactician. No doubt. But in regards to superhuman strength/speed, Deadpool and Deathstroke are about equal.
When referencing skill? Deadpool for sure. Deathstroke has gotten taken to school by Nightwing, Batman, and Ollie. Deadpool, on the other hand, (when he isn't being used as utter comic effect) has shown enough skill to keep up with Daredevil, Taskmaster, Black Panther, Iron Fist, and Wolverine. Yeah, yeah, Deadpool also has his showings of getting owned up on by the likes of squirrel girl, I acknowledge this. But people need to realize (and often don't realize) that Deadpool has two facets to him. He has his badass serious side, and the entirely comical, joking, comic relief in any situation, side. His entire run is mostly written as a joke, so he has showings like these often enough.
On the forum, though? Deadpool doesn't have to worry about being funny. He can kick ass with the best of them.
Fighting skills = Big Advantage MN'er. MN'er is to trained guys like DP and DS like they are to regular humans.
Healing factor of Deadpool = Big fat stalemate.
MN'er wouldn't let himself get touched, but could never really put Wade down for the count.
It's not pure skill in Midnighter's case though, his brain is laced with machinery that allows him to analyze an opponents abilities/powers instantly and run through almost every conceivable battle strategy to counter those abilities before the match even begins.
It shows him step by step which move to make to best counter his opponent to inflict maximum damage while taking minimal injury .... basically it's like a chess program but way, way, faster.
In one of the Authority / Kev crossovers, three mercenaries (the might have been soldiers) had machine guns trained on Midnighter. He bosted about his abilities to predicted the outcome of the "fight," one of the guys asked him how it turned out... apparently the answer was with Midnighter shot all to shit.
The only thing he is going to see about the outcome of his fight with Deadpool, is Wade kicking his ass every time.

Kev manages to either kill or kick the crap out of every single member of The Authority each and every time. Not surprised that happened. Midnighter could decapitate Deadpool with a swing of his staff. He's strong enough to do it since he's done it before. I'm with Digimark007, Midnighter is a friggin beast. He'd be able to see the enhancements Deadpool has from the outset and plan ahead. The only x-factor is Deadpool is insane. So that might circumvent Midnighter's abilities.
Wolverine has kicked a guys head off before. Shang Chi is ripped a guys head off before. It is something that only happens to fodder.
Honestly, even in Wildstorm Universe, I can't see Midnighter taking the majority from guys like Zealot or Agent Orange. He isn't that strong or fast and healing factor just isn't that hot. Deadpool would crush him IMO.

He's ridiculously faster than any human being and his powers have allowed him to compensate for the abilities of a speedster. He's fought with Apollo successfully. He's been kicked hard enough to cross most of a desert and not be phased. The ability he has to predict outcomes is an effective counter to essentially any combat style, one simply has to be so far above him in stats that it doesn't matter.
Wade can win thanks to his HF but he won't come close to crushing Midnighter.

He has three speed feats. Blitzing some cannon fodder, and catching an arrow... twice. Nothing to suggest he is faster than 'Pool. Hanging with Apollo is part CIS on Apollo's part, and part Apollo being a third class Superman knock off.
