Lex Luther has shield to keep Starfire blast away from him and his suit was designed to face superman although not fully at supes current lvls.. it was build to take punches from pre planet moving supes and give back.
slade would have a hard time getting around lex without writer armor and pis.
lex 8/10 2 for slade if he gets lucky
feats say lex..
the suit took on starfire, bart, a bomb to the face from arsenal...
has sonics to turn brain to jello... repeated punches from superboy...
unless you think slade can equal this with no pis slade aint winning..
the problem with dc is they have no consistency.. if batman were to fight lex in his armor you wouldn't come in and say bats is mid meta 5o tonner.
slade isnt winning unless you think he can beat guys like war machine and ironman too.
forget on panel inconsistent feats use logic and consistent history of the character.
slade is not a brick and even though he has punched world movers doesnt mean he should be able to hurt them even if shown as such.
might as well believe bats is faster then a flash b/c he has feats and has superman lvl punches b/c he took on a herald.
