Faster? No.
As fast? For the first few seconds, yes.
Physically, he can keep up with Flash for the first 20 feet, as described in his first appearance in TT's. (Three versions of the Flash have been taken down by him, two by stabbing, one by shooting)
Only thing quasi-crap about that fight was Kyle, but when you think back, he nutt-checked Hal Jordan and broke his jaw at the same time. Hal>>Kyle.
That fight wasn't to make Slade look powerful, the opposite, it made Kyle look more powerful by making Deathstroke the friggin Terminator's legs shake!
But, yeah....BlackPanther would put up a better fight than Batman, but he'd still lose.
True science or not, it holds up. He's superior to BlackPanther mentally and physically in every way.
It'd be more of a fight against Panther's suit than Panther himself, but unless BP has prep, he goes down via heatblast or grenades designed to take down superman and superboy(just one actually K.O'd superboy and wondergirl at the same time).
please elaborate on DS being physically and mentally superior? BP has beaten all but the very best fighters in marvel (Mantis, who would own DS) and has the brains to produce the most technologically advanced country on Earth behind latveria and has a defense against Galactus. He beat Magneto one on one. BP doesnt lose...DS does.

All BP has on DS is resources, but in a one on one fight, no prep, he goes down hard.
HAHAHA ok so ur saying DS was using his speed to keep up with Flash? Flash was going near light speed and got beat by a guy who was flesh and Blood? Sounds like writer inconsistency to me but whatever.
BP still wins with those resources as he slices right through DS and all his defenses and weapons. BP also nullifies his opponents advantages in any fight. Just like he did to the FF and Magneto, who he punked like a b!tch.
Yes, he was using his superhuman reaction speed and his brains superhuman ability to register, comput and determine the best action to take, all at superhuman speed.
Not a bit of inconsistency, also, Flash wasn't going light speed. He needs more space than he had to reach LS.
DS is the master of nullifying peoples defenses, check any fight he has with the titans, and the JLA fight, or the fight with Aquaman or the fight with Hal Jordan.
BP, is simply out of his league. When's the last time BP faught someone who was faster/smarter/stronger/as well equipped and had pre-cog?
The FF fight, BP had massive ammounts of one sided prep, as did slade in the JLA fight.
With no prep, he has very little chance.
Flash can still move pretty fast in any amount of space. even if he were moving 1/10 or 1/100 the speed of light he would still be moving faster than a physical object could move in a gaseous environment. Even if slade were moving at mach speeds(which he wasnt) it would still be theoretically standing still compared to someone like Flash.
