Canon Luke. Luke is in prime. No mind tricks.
New 52 Deathstroke. No one off arc base powers. Nth metal suit and sword.

Force Grip for the easy win.

Seems a good fight.
Thinking Luke right now.

Deathstroke shoots him between the eyes.

^^^i wanna say thats too simple.

But

DS has beaten the entire JLA so yeah.

"Canon Luke" in the OP makes this thread a lot more problematic. Old-canon Luke (EU) dominates without breaking a sweat. Current-canon Luke really lacks feats compared to anyone who's established in comics.

But is he noticeably weakened?

Compared to what? Compared to EU Luke, yeah, he's a weakling if we just go feat for feat.

riv6672 Senior Member

By weakened, i mean has he failed to do something EU Luke did?
Not having the amount of feats another version has doesnt make him ‘weaker’.

Digi Forum Leader

Not necessarily, but we also can't just transfer feats. The gulf between the two is enormous, tbh. "Has he tried and failed to do {X}?" is a far cry from proving he can.

I look at it as, if its the same character, assuming it is, no major continuity/origin changes, then taking away the character’s established power level is hinky.
I wouldnt -add- power sight unseen, but i wouldnt just take away either.

And i know no one agrees w. me on this. 😛

Force-choke, ftw.

Slade is easily one of my favorite DC characters, but this is a mismatch. Luke easily takes this.

EU was so vast, removing it entirely definitely counted as a major continuity change.

Not being an expert, i cant agree or disagree w. that.
