How exactly does any of that put him above Cap in terms of strategy or tactics? He evaluated some scrubs and dispatched them handily. Cap's done that, too. He monologued about how he doesn't need his enhanced physical ability to take them down. Cap's noted that before multiple times. He mentioned how his mind is enhanced, able to calculate with extreme proficiency and speed like a super computer. Cap's mind has likewise been described as enhanced.

Really the only thing Slade displayed that Cap doesn't have is enhanced sense of smell (and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Cap had a random smelling feat). Cap's also reacted to Quicksilver before, who has way more feats than that Liefeld alien.

So, no, I'm not seeing anything that tactically speaking, puts Slade above Cap. It's impressive, but Cap had dozens, if not more, feats of him handling an ambush attempt from powered beings.

You just failed when you said I wouldn't be surprised. And you know it. Slades senses are far superior. And he has never been shown to be able to specificly deduce the level of an opponents ability by looking at them.

What is it in those scans that you believe is impressive?

Cap's done all of that, but better, and he did it against better more powerful characters.

And Slade has traded blows with class 100 beings wearing the new armor. Those scans weren't for you btw.

He deduced that the guy was a level 7 telekenetic because he was being held immobile in the air via his telekenetic abilities, not because he has a mystical ability to determine the strengths of a character by looking at them.

What? What did I just fail now?

His senses =/= being a better tactician than Steve Rogers. Daredevil also has better senses than Steve Rogers. Silver Surfer infinitely has better senses than Steve Rogers. Neither of them are as good of a tactician as he.

Yes, I'm sure part of his mind was involved in the process of that deduction. He also determined that he was not trying to read his mind. And the first attacker was deemed alien in physiology simply by smell. Slades senses are a beast.

all that matters is that wolverine would beat both

Wolverine is a loser. He is an inferior fighter compared to both of them. And I think all of these movies are going to bury the character due to overexposure.

Slade is a C-String fighter at best. Nightwing and Aresnal tooled him pre boot in spite of vast physical disadvantages, and he hasn't done a thing to suggest he is any better now.

You're trolling now. DC doesn't call him the most dangerous merc on the planet for nothing.

They can call him whatever they want, it's empty rhetoric if he doesn't back it up, which he doesn't. Slade is a superhuman. That's what gets him by. His skills are not up to par with the top tier fighters in DC or Marvel.

Captain America's been called the greatest combatant/soldier/hero/Avenger/etc in human history.

Which is cool and all, but means little without the feats to back it up. Steve at least has a plethora of feats to justify the claim.

That isn't evidence.

he really isn't, regardless of his powers, his combination of martial skill and ferocity place him among marvel's h2h elite. his history of fights with CA shows them as peers. DS is much more dependant on his enhancements.

overexposrue will do nothing to wolverine. he has ridden the wave as the most ubiquitous character in comics for decades now.

The fact that he's still alive and still putting in work, is.

It was still funny to see WB's head roll out of that room. And a good feat to boot. I'm assuming when or if they bring him back, he will just reform his head and put it back.

More of a shitty feat for WB than a good feat for Deathstroke though. That wouldn't have done shit to Wildstorm WB.

DCnU WB was pretty durable, so Slade cutting through him was pretty bad ass. I was waiting for a good fight, but it was kind of disappointing.
