I'd go with Deathstroke for this. Seems X might have trouble reading brains that are not operating normally, ie; couldnt read Berserkerine (even though his brain was still sending impulses to his body, as Namorsbuddy pointed out - bit of poor writing there.) Anywho DS brain operates at a level beyond human and he has the superhuman body to back it up. X may read a few impulses, but he wouldnt be keeping up with DS at full speed, it just doesnt make sense that he should be able to.
So DS.

You don't understand how his powers work. He maps onto neural impulses and reflexively responds. He doesn't have to think to do what he does......it just happens. Look at the respect thread that I started for him that explains this.
Slade with prep will block of the escap routes and make sure that X will take the only route possible where he will be waiting.
X can either
A attack meaing that he will move to where DS wants him whether he can predict it or not.
B Not attack and hoping that DS takes the initiative which he wont do since he knows that X can read his moves.
The best tactic to beat someone who can read moves is to FORCE him to make the first move.
Reading moves is a nice trick but but it loses its effectiveness if your opponent can force you to make the first move and limits what you can do and where you can go.

right

So which is it then? Either he reads minds, or he maps onto neural impulses. In "the best there is" arc, his powers are described vaguely as "limited telepathy". In recent Thunderbolts stories his powers are stated very definitively as "neural impulse mapping". If it's both then as Namorsubby pointed out, Wolvie shouldn't have been able to beat him the way that he did in their battles.
Changing my vote to Slade until this contradiction is resolved.
so ur basing ur opinion that his powers are not fully defined or the fact that he lost to wolverine so u assume slade can do the same? 😇 😇
bye the bye logan's brain operates more effecienty when in a berserker rage his neural kinetics are enhanced combined with his already superhuman reaction time making it hell for a lot of ppl not just X...
his brain has bn compared to multiple computers system and whatnot.
no shame with X losing to logan.

Multiple compyters system?
lmfao.
laugh all u want its a comic fact...Xavier said so while running a danger room session and analyzing logans brain patterns and what not...
comparing it to playing chess computers while doing a routine olympic routine without even trying...
its a fact logan's fighting abilities knowledge are compressed and used on pure instinct..
so its like a supercharged logan doing MA feats at high speed making it look like he is just slashing and kicking wildly but he isnt... every move is preprogrammed just at accelerated lvl
Originally posted by Wild ShadowNeural impulses are neural impulses. And besides, if you're going to make that argument, Slade's brain operates at that capacity all the time. So either way X is screwed 😉

Originally posted by Wild ShadowMaybe so, but Slade's tech compensates for that. Promethean armor, staff, sword and the like. 💃 🤣 😕
X was still able to gut logan and shoot him up even in a berserker rage...i dont see slade's HF keeping him conscious when he gets gutted....
X still manage to get a few hits in and dodge he just couldnt put logan down anymore... 😆 🍺 😛

before any one brings up X deflecting all those bullets from black widow, remember, slade was able to shoot a flash with a gun..........yeah.

yea that dont smell like pis to you that a person who moves the speed of light and beyond was hit by a bullet?
Originally posted by Battlehammeri don't think the kid flash moves that fast.......and besides, that's as fast as they can go, it's not like they're move close to that fast all the time. i'm pretty sure usain bolt doesn't run a 9.68 every time he moves 100 KM's
which wont matter at all.yea that dont smell like pis to you that a person who moves the speed of light and beyond was hit by a bullet?
oh, and before anyone declares PIS do to the fact that kid flash can out-react bullets, they must consider the fact that slade's reaction and/or reflex time augments the flash vs bullet equation.
Flash's reflexes and/or reaction time(a) - Bullet's speed(b) + Deathstroke's reflexes and/or reaction time(c) = Flash being hit
now, considering that, how does this not matter at all?

except it doesent. Slade speed reflexes would not matter, becuase it does not change the speed of the bullet, that the same crap punisher fans uses when he hit spiderman wiht a bullet. Having higher reflexes does not make the bullet move any faster. It is PIS, which the jobbing flash family is uses too. Every one and there mother has hit them. It pis plain and simply and does not bold well for argueing DS superior reflexes. Hell robin has hit kid flash and moved so fast super boy was unable to register his movements in time.......I guess robin>>>DS>>>>>super boy and kid flash.

This is a tough one. X has an advantage because of his ability and some very impressive feats. But I think I'll give a slight majority (like 5.5/10) to Slade because the guy has A LOT of crazy showings. If he can severl times beat the crap outta Batman while barely paying attention and hold his own against entire teams (and yes I know that Dick Grason alone has put up a good fight against DS, happened once and was a poor writing, normally Slade takes him down without any efforts and it takes him like 1 or 2 punches). So imo DS wins but definitely not every time.
