Also human uses 100% of there brain, so he can use 90% all he wants.
Originally posted by srankmissingninYou might wanna check it again. He was losing his powers. He even mentions after the fight that if he still had his powers he'd have already healed and not be in so much pain. At most he had depowered down to only being physically equal to Batman instead of way superior. He wasn't full powered, he just was a better fighter.
Slade was never powerless when he fought Batman, that happened later. Not sure why that is so hard for some people to fallow... it's not like you are watching Momento or anything, it's pretty simple.

He takes an untested pill that unleashes the full potential of the human brain. I think they even use the same "humans only use 10% of their brain" fallacy as Deathstroke. He starts remembering everything he's ever heard or seen, like total recall of College Lectures, fighting from movies he's seen, even complete minutia like stuff playing on tv in the back ground during conversations he had years ago. He's so smart that he can see patterns in everything and calculate the most likely outcome. Sooooooooooooo he uses his powers to get rich and get laid, until shit hits the fan because the mob is after him, he is out of pills and if you stop taking them you die.

I didn't say it was 90% of his showings. I said it was stated often, though.
It was based off of the old "humans use 10% of their brain" myth. And Slade was said to tap into 90% of it as compared to the average human. Comic science =/= real science, after all.

Yes which is hyperbole and is meaningless and was wrong to begin with. Putting stock into a fake myth which means nothing is pointless. Yes and when was the last time they even tried to state his brain worked at 90%? 10 years ago 15, 20?
I sorry but I dont put stock into fake myths that are hyperbole to begin with. He has the same mind as capt, no more no less. People seem to be trying to imply his abilities are greater then they are, which seems to be common occurrence with slade.

It hasn't been said in years. Recently they have gone with "complete control over the brain / body" in stead.

I don't think you got what I said. I was saying that even his first appearance he was 10x more intelligent. Since then it's been said in 90 percent of his showings. It wasn't a one time thing. I THINK even when DS was powerless and was kicking bat's ass, he commented that DS was still smarter.
Smarter how, though? He doesn't have a fraction of Batman's IQ feats.
I just think that the hype doesn't live up to the character. Smart, hell yes. IQ in quadruple digits (or whatever similar nonsense), no. Smarter than other comic "brains" also no.

I dont disagree it was said a number of times, but that was years even a decade or more ago. Most of those are vague statements at best and no real way to rationalize what that even means.

Batman and Slade fight in Deathstroke issue 7. Slade states he has been enhanced and that he is "stronger" yada yada yada during the fight. In the next issue - while severely hurt due to the after math of the fight with Batman - he directly references the serum and it's abilities. At then end of that issue (issue 08 for those keeping track) he is captured and dosed again. In issue 09 (two issues after the fight with Batman), Bruce shows up to save him and that's when his powers disappeared. There was no indication, not even a slight one, that he was depowered or weaker than usual when he fought Batman on the side of that sky scrapper.
Originally posted by Dum Dum DuganDo you have any evidence or proof at all to even suggest it's hyperbole? Tell me any reason why we shouldn't take it as his creator said he meant it. Do you jon more about the truth than the guy who created him? Who cares if the 10 percent thing is a Myth, so is Thor. Does that mean Thor has on power? You're reaching.
well my response was to someone saying it was 90% of his showings.Yes which is hyperbole and is meaningless and was wrong to begin with. Putting stock into a fake myth which means nothing is pointless. Yes and when was the last time they even tried to state his brain worked at 90%? 10 years ago 15, 20?
