Can they kill Supes?

Lol No, he's not vulnerable to blades unless something changed that I'm unaware of. And Persuader isn't a normal axe, it can cut through space/time itself, IIRC it cut through gravity(comics). Superman actually got hit by Persuader (well Mxy made someone him) so hard he was knocked into orbit and it only cut his costume.

And this depiction keeps quite consistent, like in Final Crisis LoSH tie-ins
"I read all about you. The Persuader. Your axe can cut through anything"

And Superman certainly isn't vulnerable to bladed edges(or axes, in this case)

Yeah, Persuader's axe, even in his first apperance, is stated to be
"can slice through anything..including energy! Lines of force, magnetism and gravity can be cut off by his glowing blade"

Lol I guess the SP officer was jumping when Perduarder cut. Also, I never noticed in the scene with Superman fighting those New Gods, that Kanto looks to be using a conventional pistol.
And I've seen examples of Superman even weakened not getting cut, though the one off the top of my head technically isn't allowed despite being canon.

That's the thing, it IS on-topic, silly.
Carver has shown a highly trained and skilled assassin, who has a sword that explicitly amps one to their opponents' level (so imagine Deathstroke's skills with Superman's speed and strength etc) with magic....
Was unable to kill/beat Superman.
Originally posted by ThinkererWith Superman's speed, it may as well be 1 on 1. In the first nanosecond, he takes out combatant #1. Nanosecond 2, he takes out #2 etc.
This is against teams, not just Deathstroke with that particular sword.
The best chance any of them is maybe DS on team DC, but after his fight with Superman takes place in miliseconds (Constantine for example still has human reactions), then he goes after the others.

In theory yes, but this is in-character, no theoretical bullshit.

Theoretical?
Carver literally posted what happens when Superman got serious - Superman uses his speed, avoids DS', well, stroke (twice), flies around him, and has him by the neck, choking him until WW tells him to stop:

This is in character. And this is DS amped up to Superman's level. And DS even comments on how fast Superman is.

That fight being as long as it was against just ONE of the opponents proves team 1 stomps. Slade showed he can hang with Supes. Super was pissed during the onset of the battle. Add in the rest of Slade teammates and its a massacre.

The sword amped Deathstroke to Superman's level, the rest would be frozen as statues whist DS is fighting Superman.
DS, who isn't on Team 1.

Where was it said he was amped to Superman levels? Nothing stated that. Also, I posted that because Magik who is FTL, Gorgon who possess super speed, etc... would still dog walk that version of Deathstroke. Im guessing this character who cut Superman was amped to Superman levels?
