So, Who Would Win?: Deathstroke VS. The Sportsmaster

TGIT!!!!

I don't know about you guys, but for fans of the show Young Justice like I was/am, this particular rivalry was a joy to watch.

I'm talking about the rivalry between Deathstroke and the Sportsmaster.
If you've watched the show, then you know what I'm talking about, and how we never got a satisfying answer as to who would win in a heated battle between the two.

Well I definitely want one, with this being an all-out battle to the death.

As you guys fully know, the slight edge would go to Slade considering how he's chemically enhanced, kind of like an evil Captain America. But don't count out Crock, who's equally as resourceful and dangerous, and always keeps his cool under fire.

Two men enter, one man leaves, but which man is the last man standing after this?

So,

Deathstroke the Terminator











VS.

The Sportsmaster











Who Wins and Why?


Have a good weekend everybody....

So, Who Would Win?: The Punisher VS. Deathstroke The Terminator

TGIT!!!!!


Man I hope I haven't done this before, 'cause it sounds very familiar.
Anyhoo, for this week's edition of So, Who Would Win?, I'm pitting two lethal bad-asses against each other, as I pit Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher against Slade Wilson, a.k.a. Deathstroke the Terminator.


Both of these guys are extremely, EXTREMELY proficient killers who are pretty much, to borrow Wolverine's famous catchphrase, the best there is at what they do...and what they do ain't pretty.

Both guys were also in the military before eventually becoming the kind of ruthless killers they'd later famously become.

Both guys are also just regular non-super-powered individuals, although Slade's more than just your average paid mercenary;
He's basically an evil version of Captain America, in that he has superhuman stamina and reflexes, and is at the absolute peak of human strength and endurance levels. Throw in a healing factor and you can understand why he's been giving the heroes of the DCU such a hard time for as long as he has.

Another thing both Slade and Frank have is that they've faced their world's premier superhero team, and kicked their asses, as Frank's been shown to pwn the Avengers ins some stories, while Slade's pwned the JLA in Identity Crisis.

The only difference (while some would argue there really isn't a difference between the two) is that the Punisher is technically a "good guy" who only kills criminals, while Deathstroke kills whoever he's hired to kill, so yeah, he's mostly labeled as a "bad guy".

The thing is though, that over they years, writers and history have shown that labels like good and evil, black and white, can't really applied to other man since they've shown themselves in both word and deed, to be highly complex men.
In other words, for being such ruthless killers, they've certainly displayed their fair share of qualities and personality traits that put them in a sympathetic light depending on the stories that written about them.

Hell, they both have a unique code that they strictly adhere to; Frank won't kill those he views and deems as innocent or other superheroes, while Slade believes in always honoring a contract and his word, no matter what.

What's really interesting though is the differences in where each man is represented in other mediums.

Slade was the main villain in the (Green) Arrow tv show for 2 seasons, before DC decided they wanted him on the big screen instead and in his own movie, and wrote him out, but not before jobbing his ass to Ollie and his sister, While Frank's had 3 movies himself, and is set to star as the main "villain" in the upcoming new season of the Daredevil Netflix series.

Both so similar, and yet so different in their own little ways.

So,

The Punisher

VS.

Deathstroke the Terminator












Who Wins and Why?
Let me who you think will out-smart and out-last the other...

So, Who Would Win?: The Punisher VS. Deathstroke

TGIT!!!!

In wondering who to select for this week's edition of So, Who Would Win?, I first thought about having The Puisher face off against DC Comics' Vigilante. Remember him? He was an anti-hero character first introduced into the New Teen Titans in the 80's named Adrian Chase. He was a lawyer by day, vigilante by night. Kind of like a Daredevil who actively kills criminals.

As good a match-up as they maybe, I decided instead to save that one for another feature, and have them team-up instead. Makes more sense to me, especially since they have similar origins in that both their familes were killed by mobsters. And I figure Mr. Chase wouldn't be as worthy an opponent for Frank as the guy I chose instead. After all, realistically why would they fight, when it'd make more sense them to be on the same side.

So, I chose this guy instead.

Yep, Slade wilson, a.k.a. Deathstroke The Terminator.

We all know the deal with this guy. He's a ruthless killer for hire, with his own twisted moral code that he lives by. Sometimes the almighty dollar doesn't totally motivate him, as we've seen when he attacked the Teen Titans when he thought they were responsible for the death of his son.

But it usually is.

He may not have super-powers in the standard way, but he does have enhanced skills and abilities in spades. Think of him  like how co-creator Marv Wolfman once described him, as "The evil version of Captain America". 
He's got enhanced strength(but not super, super-strength) lighting-fast reflexes, agility, and a form of a healing factor. Combine that with his years and years of military combat experience, and you'll see why this fight will be fun to watch play out on so many levels.



The Punisher, for lack of a better term, is pretty much Marvel's version of Batman, in that as been previously shown in an ass-load of comics, when given the time to plan, he can pretty much beat anybody.
He's no slouch in the multiple years of military combat experience either, since he served 3 tours in Vietnam as a Marine in the army.

Like Slade, he's skilled in various forms of martial arts and hand-to-hand combat and weapon training.
Seriously, these two could just as easily bond over their huge gun collection as they could fight it out in the streets or wherever.

And to add to the uncertainty of the whole thing, consider this; both of them have taken out their respective premier super-hero teams, with the Punisher having taken out the Avengers before, while Slade took out the Justice League.

So the question then becomes, can Frank survive a fight with a guy who's just as skilled and ruthless as him, but quicker, stronger, and more powerful?

Let's what I'd like to know, as I'm sure you all have probably considered a few times yourselves.


So,


The Punisher

VS.

Deathstroke....

Who Would Win and Why?
Tell me who you think survives this one.


Here's hoping you guys and gals have a good weekend,
peace and chicken grease bitches......
