I am enjoying the debates around these "Versus" fights, so here's another one for you:
To help you in your decision-making process, here's a quick run-down of the two characters (powers not shown):
Deadpool | Deathstroke |
Uses multiple samurai swords. | Uses multiple samurai swords. |
Full mask with sinister eye hole cutouts. | Full mask with sinister eye hole cutouts. |
Modern body armor. | Chainmail. |
Mercenary. | Mercenary. |
Many many pouches. | Many many pouches. |
Slightly baggy hood. | Flyaway mask ties. |
Breaks the fourth wall to talk directly to the audience. | Breaks the fourth wall ... of the building his target is hiding in. |
Created second by "legendary" Rob Liefeld. | Created first by genuine legends Marv Wolfman and George Pérez. |
Played in one of the worst super hero movies of all time by none other than -- wait for it -- Ryan Reynolds. | Mercifully free (so far) from exploitation by Hollywood. |
For me, the last two points are the difference maker. I don't care how bad-ass either of these guys is, the fact that Deadpool was both created by Rob Liefeld and played by Ryan Reynolds -- a twin bill of titanic suckage -- means I gotta go with Terminator. Plus, come on, how awesome a name is "Deathstroke the Terminator"?! That's like TWO killer monikers rolled into one!
I leave the technical details of who would win in an ACTUAL fight to you better informed folks.
