Close Range- The promethium broadsword is more durable than the greatsword, and can repair damages, along with having a longer reach.

Edge: Deathstroke

Mid Range- The berettas contain more ammo than the .45 colts. The bow, while being used expertly by Taskmaster, is a rather outdated weapon, and can't compare in damage and speed with firearms.

Edge: Deathstroke.

Long Range- The M4 carbine has a better rate of fire than the FN SCAR does.

Edge: Taskmaster

Explosive- The F1 has a better blast radius, and while the M67 has a better shrapnel range, the chances that it will be used at that far of a range is really rather slim.

Edge: Taskmaster

Special- Taskmaster's energy device is very versatile, creating solid objects out of energy. However, it is rather limited. He's never created anything as complicated as a firearm before, and Deathstroke's power staff is able to cause a lot of damage.

Edge: Even

Armor- Deathstroke promethium body armor is more durable than Kevlar, and its healing properties give it the edge over Taskmaster.

Edge: Deathstroke.

Verdict- While their equipment edges were about even, Deathstroke outclasses Taskmaster in many aspects. He's stronger, faster, he won't tire as easily, he can tank more damage, and the healing factor will let him come back from any wounds that would otherwise be fatal. His genius level intellect is a big factor, allowing him to observe, calculate, and plan against Taskmaster. In the end, I think his intellect and stats will overcome Taskmaster's photographic muscle memory.

Winner: Deathstroke
