I double edit, because I type, to fast some times and leave words out accidentally.

Granades could be a different story, but you have yet to bring forth a convincing argument or really any argument for why they are standard. Can you even show him using them three times in the last 5 years? (even then I not sure that classify as standard equipment) and with out one sided prep because that defeat the purpose lol.

You not liking me using wolverine as an example does not counter the fact it quite a valid example and argument.

Which means how often he appears is actually relevant in determining standard equipment, because the more showings a person has the more examples they’d need in order to maintain the % needed for claiming something is standard equipment.

edit, I like silent answer better

which i agree though not nearl as frequently as some suggest.

The fact you said on the fly and on his person, which would mean any item batman used, was my point.

also what was the point of saying my old account names?

I've now stated it three times.

I stated your old account names because I don't remember ever speaking to you as "Dum Dum Dugan" and it felt odd.

No, it wouldn't mean any item Batman used. Yes, Batman's items are also on the fly and on his person, which distinguish them from items like Wolverine's magic swords. However, what I ALSO wrote was that Slade utilizes grenades with some frequency.

Except he does not use them that frequently and hasent in years. That wolverine has more freuqently and consistently use his magiacal sword over the last two years then slade has granades.

and ive now answered three times.

thats cool 😎

"standard equipment" is actually what the comicbook company either
"designed"the character to have OR what the majority of mainstream
writers have written them with that is accepted by the public and not changed not say parralel version, id say TM standard weapons are at
least 1 version of a weapon used by each mainstream marvel char,
caps shield,hawkeyes bow,daredevils billyclub,punishers 45,black knights sword,and i know he has magnesium grenades to blind ppl
now i dont know DS"standard gear but id thought it was a "powerful"cannon/staff equal to a laser/bazooka,a sword that wasnt normal,also highly powerful grenades that were tiny(looked like pellets)
and carried smg's and guns id also seen he had optical enhancements

Slade wins

The Terminator is a goner!

Agreed 100% I have most of Slade's appearances. Those are definitely his standard equipment. Especially the sword, power-staff and pellet bombs.

I kinda feel like Taskmaster is either getting underestimated or DS is getting overestimated.

In a standard fight I think Taskmaster will take this barring superior equiptment from DS coming into play, which it very well could. TM sometimes has top of the line weapons and whatnot, and sometimes he has 2nd rate hand-me-downs.

If the two were equally equipted more or less, then TM would take the majority IMO.

It's usually both.

yeah, reading through this thread I can see that. There are some bizarre arguments like:

Deathstroke's stats are too much for Taskmaster to handle- ignoring the fact that Tasky has beaten down Rogers and Panther- two marvel fighters who are definitely on or above DS' level in stats.

Taskmaster somehow won't be able to emulate Deathstroke's fighting style because of DS' stats (comparing it to spiderman), despite the fact he has rogers' moves copied so well that he trains other people in that same style, and he's used spiderman's moves in combat many, many times.

Tasky is definitely being underrated here. I'd probably give him a slight majority. There's not much combat wise Deathstroke can do that Cap couldn't, and even those grenades won't do much against a guy who runs around with a gigantic shield as standard equipment.

Slade 7-10.

toss up.

Good match up. Slade...surprising choice, I know.

Slade is virtually a mirror image of Cap physically, except Cap has feats to support the various statements he has 20x human strength, where as Slade's just has hearsay...

Tasky has held his own against Cap several times.

Good fight, I`d say Tasky 6 maybe 6.5 of 10.
