Cross-Genre Thread #4: Deathstroke vs Master Chief

Started by Omega Vision7 pages

^ Yeah, Master Chief is formidable and in many ways similar to Deathstroke but he lacks Deathstroke's feats against incredibly powerful opponents. Master Chief's greatest feats IMO (from the games, I haven't actually read any of the books start to finish) are taking down the Scarab and defeating amped Tartarus with a lot of assistance.

Master Chief has two real advantages: strength and durability. Neither of them are game breakers for Slade though based on his history.

The problem with using those feats is that his opponents all seemed to be holding back to an extent. It's hard to quantify what extent that is exactly. That's generally one of the main contentions toward using ABC logic.

Has there been a time Master Chief had to counter a battle plan against another smart, heavily trained and strong person?
a 1on1 battle?

An interesting point to note would be that even with the mjolnir armor and even with all of his increased attributes, he's still barely on the same level of elites when it comes to strength speed and durability, while brutes are physically superior by a definite magnitude. the ease with which john dispatches them is attributed specifically to his skill, not largely due to enhancements.

as for firepower, not sure why'd you bring that up.. slade himself isnt more heavily armed then the average covenant squad or even an elite really...

A holding back Donna Troy or Starfire (who wasn't holding back all that much in their fight btw) is still more powerful than Master Chief by far.

Well that would depend an awful lot on how much they're holding back, wouldn't it?

IN the case of Donna Troy she wasn't holding back as much as she would have as Wonder Girl since at the time she was a Dark Star. Now Slade does admit that she did show some hesitation to use lethal force but that doesn't change the fact that she wasn't being very gentle with him.

Starfire was pretty pissed in their encounter, so this wasn't the standard "handle him with kid gloves" scenario.

Well admittedly, I don't know comics like you do, and I'm not going to challenge a man wearing a Deathstroke signature, on deathstroke lore. 😛

So, I'll go with you on that.

And in return I won't challenge you on...whoever it is that's in your sig. 😛

We talking about a 1on1 battle though, not giant ships or caring about anyones to safety.
He has to do a battle plan with someone he has never fought before. Someone who actually thinks very well himself, and fights very well himself.

It seems Deathstroke is used to fighting against and with any meta-humans. Hell, some of the pictures Omega has provided, shows that he has fought human military as well.

While Chief fights Aliens with Weaponry

Has there been a time Master Chief had to counter a battle plan against another smart, heavily trained and strong person?

Sounds like Deadstroke has, even a "Team" of them.

If there are more "Amazing" stuff then that. You should try naming them instead of keeping us anticipated. I'm biting my nails here thinking about what exciting thing Master Chief has done aside from saving people, falling, and fighting h2h with big aliens.

Alright, someone who was raised for war. I guess thats all it takes to win these kind of battles. The fact that he has been raised for war
🙄

pretty much just the covenant.Great stategist they'd have to be but prob not DS level.Although hes always at least 1 step ahead.

I can't think of any right now 😐

Well chiefs life was devoted to be nothing but the perfect solider.Hes got the mind of the best human there could ever be and add biotic and mechanical amps.

I just thought of something.Cortana is part of chiefs armor and powerset since the first game.Could she not be with him and outsmart him?I think that cortana could make battle tactics faster then either of them
