- Strength/Durability/Stamina- Deathstroke scores higher than Taskmaster due to his enhanced physical stats. Taskmaster isn't able to reach super strength, durability, or stamina, but has honed his body to become peak human. However, this isn't enough to compete with Deathstroke.
- Speed- While this is more even, Deathstroke still managed to score higher than Taskmaster. Deathstroke's speed is boosted by his enhancements, making him faster than Taskmaster, who must achieve super speed by pushing his body past its limits with his photographic muscle memory, putting great strain on his body.
- Agility- This resulted in a tie. This is because while Deathstroke is enhanced, he really hasn't shown agility that is great in nature, although still being superhuman. Taskmaster could achieve the same through his photographic muscle memory, albeit putting strain on his body.
- Intellect- Deathstroke won easily in this section. He has a genius level intellect, and is able to process information nine times faster than a normal human, observing and calculating at high speeds. While Taskmaster isn't stupid, his intelligence is only around average.
- Skill- Taskmaster managed to win this section, due to his photographic muscle memory. Having copied many heroes and villains in the Marvel Universe, he has mastered all of their fighting skill. Deathstroke is still very good, and a master in many forms of fighting, but Taskmaster is simply better with his wide array of copied skills.
- Experience- This section goes to Deathstroke. Deathstroke started off in the army, showing skill greater than the other soldiers. After gaining his enhancements and leaving the army, Deathstroke became an assassin for hire. Throughout his career, he came to blows with the Teen Titans, Bat-family, Justice League, and other heroes on more than one occassion. Taskmaster on the other hand, simply started out as a mercenary after discovering his powers, and also fought heroes throughout his career. However, Deathstroke just has a longer career, and more experience than Taskmaster.
