Not hardly, the best comparsion to Batgirl would be Taskmaster and even his ability is more effective then Cass'. Mr. X is a mutant he can read his opponents mind and knows exactly what they are going to do and he also has some empath abilities it seems. Characters like Mr. X and Bloodshadow can't even be compared to Batgirl because they are so much higher.Any guy who beats down Taskmaster with little effort owns DS even harder.
Lemme guess this Mr.X guys first apperence he slaughters Taskmaster like a red-headed stepchild gets hyped up then dies to Wolverine and probably hasent surfaced since
Sure and i once saw Nightwing AND BATGIRL both lose to some shmuck with a golf club and overalls then by his next apperence he was to scared to fight Black Mask who is obviously SO much tougher an opponent
I hate 1 shot duffs that some writer thought would be cool making longtime established characters job to "Get over" then returning to the land of comic obscurity never to do anything significant outside of VS topics online
No in his first apperance he said in a chair and tried to get Wolverine to sign a paper that said Mr. X was "the best their is at what he does." Then he fought Wolverine and beat him up... twice I believe. Then a story are later (I believe) Wolverine entered a Blood Sport tournament to fight Mr. X; that is where he beat down Tasky.
My list of DS-killers is still Spidey, Midnighter, and Carnage...haven't seen a truly convincing case for anyone else.
Would Black Panther put up a good fight though?? Vibranium armor seems ridiculously hardcore. Also, what about Wildcat (or something similar) from the current JSA? I heard he helped to train Batman, among others, and always seems to be a helluva fighter.

He may or may not be a mutant, no one is sure what he is. Wolvie just guessed that Mister X had small amounts of telepathy because X would always know what he would do next, and counter(kinda like DS does with his pre-cog), but then later on, it was chalked up to him being a master body reader.
He beat wolverine once, then wolverine beat him twice in a row(by allowing himself to go into a berserker rage, thus making it impossible to read his body/mind) after that in blood game or blood sport or w/e. Taskmaster lost because he's not very powerful, he's cool, but not very powerful at all.
Mister X was cool as hell though, wasn't he a seriel killer? He hasn't appeared after the wolvie fights.

They had a Mr. X orgin in one of the issues when he kills people the he can read their thoughs and it makes him cream his pants or something. He has low end phsyic abilities, there is no doubt about that.
In a DD comic it was shown that Taskmaster can hit a man with enough force to stop is hard form one hit to the chest. He is hell a strong, he has owned Cat and Zartan the weapon master in seconds... I doubt that DS could even beat Cat with out prep.
TM isn't super strong, just a notch over peak. And his speed is high, but nothing too much. His endurance is horrible, and his body isn't suited for high speed fighting. i.e his bones can break if he fights too fast and he nearly passed out after he faught 2x human speed.
DS is superstrong 2-5tons his speed is 10x human 24/7 and his body is perfect for it, he has healing and super endurance. TM has a chance, but not much of one.

Taskmaster lost because it's hard to hit someone who knows what you are thinking. DS is cool also, but he'd get the same thing Taskmaster did.
Also, DS' mind is different than others, his mind is superhuman, making mindreading near impossible. Martian Manhunter commented on it saying his mind is hiding under a fog of lies, probably having something to do with the truth serum he took.
Gorilla Grodd commented on how hard and complex his mind is to understand and read too.
Mister X isn't a good enough telepath to break through. But, if he was, I'd say yes, he'd probably win.

I don't have any scans of Deathstroke series, other than the batman one I got from a site. I have a few from the xmen/TT's x-over.
I have the omic and my scan will be back up and running at the weekend, it is a shit comic though!
I will also hunt through my early Perez, Wolfman titans for Slades first appearance and scan that 😄
