Ugh. I know Slade is all "seven kinds of bad-ass" and what-not, but he should last about ten seconds versus someone with Shazam power.

[jlbarnett]

Osiris isn't the most agressive fighter around though

[flint_marko]

Just because Amon isn't going to punch his head off doesn't mean he has much of a chance against him.

[auggie18]

Still, at the kid's power level he should be able to bear-hug Slade into submission pretty quickly.

[jlbarnett]

a bearhug is actually something I hadn't thought of.

My main thought was that attempting to make sure he didn't hurt him to bad might make him clumsy. Easy to avoid.

[kagome654]

I'm kind of hoping that's how it goes (assuming Slade has to win/survive for more than five seconds), Slade taking advantage of the fact that Osiris is being overly cautious (as to not punch a hole though Deathstroke's head). Though I kinda like the idea of Osiris getting the old guy in a full nelson and insisting he tap out. If the opposite happens (Slade gets Osiris riled so he makes 'stupid mistakes') I hope it ends with Slade getting an arm ripped off and realizing he's made a pretty dire miscalculation (as Osiris apologizes profusely in the background).

[janegray]

Or Osiris could learn from Philionel of Seyruun.

PACIFIST CRUSH!!! KINDNESS TO ALL CREATURES KICK!!! GOODWILL TOWARDS MAN SMASH!!!

[kagome654]

Ah, anime/cartoon pacifists. You know they're deeply grieved that you've forced them to kick the shit out of you. You know, for peace.

[alexanderlucard]

Slayers reference FTW!

[terrykun]

VISFARANK!

[salamangkiero]

I would actually be more scared if Deathstroke made the mistake of going after Naga or Lina. If Naga is in one of her "suddenly very competent" moments...

[janegray]

Good point.

After all, one of the few good moments of Slayers Evolution-R was Naga going batshit after just hearing the word "assassin", and she was even dumbed down and body-less at that point.

[suzene]

I hope it ends with Slade getting an arm ripped off and realizing he's made a pretty dire miscalculation (as Osiris apologizes profusely in the background).

There has *got* to be an artist whose goodwill I can abuse in order to get this scene committed to paper...

[kagome654]

Heh, I hope so. I can just imagine Osiris' flailing and babbling away...

'By the Gods, look what I've done! I'm so sorry, I promised myself I wouldn't do this sort of thing anymore! But really, you shouldn't have said those things about my sister. Oh, wisdom of Zehuti, what can I do to make this right? Here, would you like this back? No? Well, I hear they're making REALLY convincing bionic limbs these days, you could look into that...'

[tacobob]

He doesn't even need to punch him, just fly through Shade really fast like he did to the Persuader.

[cf105]

Flick his finger at mach 6 or so, the blast of air should turn Slade's internal organs into a nice slushy until he has enough time to heal.
