Deadpool VS Deathstroke


they might share a lot in common
including a last name but who’s the
greatest wilson of them all welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be going
blow-for-blow with Deadpool and
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
Channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos we’re
evaluating a wide range of categories to
determine who’s the superior sword
wielding superhuman not just who would
win in a fight oh don’t leave now
brother everyone stays for this part
what part is that
even before gaining his abilities
Slade Wilson was a force to be reckoned
with as a result of his military
training as well as his own studies
Slade is a formidable combatant in every
sense he is a skilled martial artist
capable of besting all but the world’s
greatest fighters in hand-to-hand combat
he’s also a formidable swordsman and
marksman but after being subjected to an
experimental procedure he was gifted
with a wide variety of superhuman
abilities that any soldier would want
he’s got reflexes far superior to any
mere mortal and the speed strength
agility stamina and senses to match to
top it all off he’s got enhanced
immunity durability and regenerative
abilities we’ll take a closer look at
the reasons why shortly but Deadpool
actually has almost all the same
abilities and powers as Deathstroke in
addition to being handy with a sword and
all manner of firepower he’s also a
skilled hand-to-hand combatant albeit
perhaps a less consistent one than
Deathstroke like his pal who wants
nothing to do with him Wolverine
Deadpool has a handy healing factor
which gets a lot of mileage given his
reckless ways he’s been repeatedly
decapitated dismembered and subjected to
all manner of bodily harm and he just
keeps on going we’re starting off with a
category in which our two characters are
almost neck and neck but in the end with
a possible exception of strength it
would seem that Deadpool has acquired
significantly higher upgrades across the
board in terms of superhuman abilities
most importantly Deadpool’s healing
factor is off the charts and so we’ve
got to give him round one winner
Deadpool
around to origin as we’ve previously
mentioned Slade Wilson’s background is
in the military having joined at the
tender age of 16 he quickly
distinguished himself with his willpower
and skills depending on the continuity
he was either selected for a special
program or submitted to it after being
gravely wounded but either way he became
a metahuman super soldier Deathstroke
the Terminator was born he eventually
turned his attention to the world of
crime becoming a mercenary and assassin
for hire the lucrative had ultimately
cost him his marriage and an AI after it
put his family in danger for the film
Deadpool’s origin was streamlined he’s a
mercenary cancer patient who underwent
experimentation to cure himself but in
the comics no one including Deadpool
himself seems to be sure of his
background he gained his mutant
abilities courtesy of Weapon X but
everything before that seems to be in a
constant state of flux and honestly his
in story origin is much less interesting
than the history of his creation
invented by divisive comic book artist
Rob Liefeld he was labeled a blatant
Deathstroke ripoff from day one after
seeing the design writer Fabian Nicieza
just went with it naming deadpool wade
wilson and an overt nod to his aesthetic
inspiration Slade Wilson though writers
have since made Deadpool into a truly
unique character his lack of consistent
in book origin and admittedly hilarious
creation story makes it impossible to
not give this round to Deathstroke
Deathstroke’s origin might not be one
for the ages but at least it’s his own
winner Deathstroke round 3 style
whatever you’re planning Slade it’s over
on the contrary Robin it’s just begun
quite frankly in the world of comics
grim and gritty has been done to death
for decades the mentality seemed to be
that the less often character smiled the
cooler and more appealing they were
supposed to be the result is a whole
slew of forgettable B C and D less
characters who were given a permanent
scowl in place of a personality but
here’s the thing there are a handful of
characters from across the decades who
were written well enough to be able to
pull it off and Slade is one of them
Deathstroke is a bona fide badass a
mercenary who inspires equal parts fear
and respect he’s serious but has depth
on inspiring in his severity Deathstroke
is respected and with good reason
will meet face to face some other time
on the complete opposite end of the
spectrum is our beloved Merc with a
mouth a comic-book character who despite
humble uninspired origins has made a
name for himself by undermining pretty
much every comic book trope
he’s an undeniable badass when it comes
time to throwdown but he does it with a
sense of self deprecation and humor that
you really can’t help but love perhaps
most notable is his love of breaking the
fourth wall by directly addressing the
reader or acknowledging the fact that
he’s a comic book character I know right
whose balls did I have to fondle to get
my very own movie up against 99% of
characters Deathstroke would be taking
home the style title without question
the guy eats cool points for breakfast
and bleeds badassery but Deadpool is one
of a kind and in the world of comics
that means a whole lot
Deadpool wins another round winner
intellect if you disobey even the
smallest request I will annihilate and
I’ll make you watch so do we have a deal
in the long list of powers and
enhancements acquired by Deathstroke
when he underwent his transformation his
intellectual improvements are perhaps
the most notable you know that’ll
commonly cited fact that humans only use
10% of their total brain power at any
given time well Slade is capable of
using up to 90% of it making him a bona
fide genius to be clear Slade was
already smarter and more cunning than
your average soldier but with a little
scientific help he unlocked his full
potential turning himself into a
tactical mastermind in the process how
does one begin to describe wade wilson’s
intellectual capacity after all this you
he’s certainly original and quick-witted
when it comes to cracking wise or
insulting his enemies but it’s been
widely acknowledged that he suffers
severe brain damage and healing factor
be damned the beatings his brain has
taken since donning the red suit
couldn’t have helped wait is too
inconsistent to categorize one moment
he’s surprisingly sharp the next he
can’t remember what he did last week
mind you his unpredictable nature and
alternatively wired brain certainly
gives him an edge his enemies never know
oh you’d never call Wade dumb you’d also
be remiss to call him particularly smart
in any conventional sense of the word
and so in this case Deathstroke the
mathlete takes the point winner
Deathstroke betrayal destruction revenge
we really do think alike round five
live-action adaptations Slade certainly
made for an impressive and capable
adversary when he came after Robin and
company as a central villain in the
animated Teen Titans series though
that’s at the bar pretty high
actor Manu Bennett and the production
team behind the CW’s arrow TV series
prove that a live-action Deathstroke
could equally deliver the goods Bennet’s
take on Slade Wilson is everything we
could have asked for on a television
budget he had the mask the combat skills
the physical strength determination and
intelligence to push Oliver Queen to his
limits on top of that we got a glimpse
of Joe Manganiello Deathstroke in a
Justice League post-credits scene so the
future looks bright for the character on
the big screen we have to level the
playing field mr. Wilson
is that you after the much criticized
mutilated version of Wade Wilson we were
given in x-men origins Wolverine had a
long stint in development hell Fox
finally made good on their promise of a
Deadpool solo outing in 2016 it was a
tall order but Deadpool not only made up
for mistakes of the past but also proved
that there was room in the world of
comic book movies for an r-rated flick
he killed it at the box office and going
against the grain of big studio
mentality did it while staying close to
the source material the fans have spoken
and they’ve done so with unmitigated
Glee Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool
unfortunately there’s just no way for
the arrowverse version of Deathstroke to
compete with Ryan Reynolds’s big screen
take on the Merc with a mouth Joe
Manganiello version we saw briefly at
the tail of Justice League could
certainly turn out to be incredible but
for now that she takes it winner
Deadpool I’m touching myself tonight it
would seem that Marvel’s wacky antihero
gets to walk away with the title beating
out the DC figure who initially inspired
his look and named in these moments
everything else falls away the way the
world sees us the way we do you agree
