What would happen if Slade lost his weapons in this fight? Venom is more than capable of creating a scenario such as that, what if Venom webbed up the entire ground that Slade walks on? he is more than capable of doing this too! If Slade beat Venom with his weapons wouldn't that be a really cheap victory? Why is it so implausible for Venom to hit this guy? I've read quite a few books with Deathstoke in them, and fine the guys a piece of work, but so is Venom. In the Infinite Crisis #1 Dee is killed by Slade, but it takes Cheetah's sense of smell to detect her in her invisible form, it wasn't Slade. He just finished things up, after she was detected by impaling her on his sword! This just goes to show you that Venom could pass undetected, and web Slade up before he knew that it was coming. If worse came to worse Venom could take a blast from Slade and play possum till he could strategically extend his costume behind Slade, and catch him by surprise. One thing that many people fail to admit, or notice about DC in these forums I noticed, is their famous inconsistencies, and contradictions, this is why DC has to have an Infinte Crisis every decade and a half, because all of the plot lines that they've twisted in the attempt to one up Marvel is catching up wth them, Slade is one of those contradictions, as is Lobo, and Doomsday, and Aquaman... someone told me that way back in the day, that Aquaman was strong enough to bring down a building, yet when I pointed out that a dozen sharks nearly killed him in Justice #3 someone else stated, "That's just Alex Ross portraying the old Aquaman" wrong it's DC hanging themselves. When Aquaman started out he was most definenately around Hawkmans strength level, and now he can perform feats that can rival Wonder Womans at times??? At times? whats that mean?so one day he can only bench 2000 pounds and the next he's benching 75+ tonnes? This goes for Slade as well, this guy did not start out with the ability to chase down somone that can tap into the speed force, but now he can? in that case there's no speed force on the Marvel earth, what will he do then? Oh I get it he'll tap into the power cosmic, which will enable him to chase down guys like the Runner, and the Silver Surfer, and no less throw a granade at Beta Ray Bill that will knock him out, even though we all have seen him survive impacts that blew up planets that he was on (Stormbreaker Mini)! DC is just messing with you, Slade can not consistantly pull off these types of feats, unless you always see him runnig at break neck speeds, if so that means that Slade can run on water just like Wally right? Wrong! a well written fight between Slade and Venom would show that Venom can keep up with him, maybe not fight as well as him, but he will be able to tag him quite a few times, and if... sorry, when Venom gets his hands on him he will rip his spine out.
