Adress the most expensive assasin in BMG
Deathstroke
First, lets look at some of the similarities.
Undercover and stealth means he is early to the fray, and has an edge on shooters
Deathstroke is a killer, and it shows. ATT5, 3+ str, and a sword (sharp, 2 blood) is built for killing foes. Most have a slim chance of blocking his attacks, and once hit, Deathstroke almost certainly wounds. The only real barrier is hitting- Against a knocked down opponent- Slade is an executioner.
With a high defense and defensive skills (like martial artist), Mr.Wilson is comfortable fighting swarms of goons or powerful characters. His gun controls engagements too- If an enemy would feel overwhelmed and try to run? Slade can cut them down with bullets!
The biggest differences here are- ODeathstroke gets to play. Comic deathstroke was avoidable, you could oupace him- stay out of his range, or avoid hem, Origins deathstroke? not so much
Ok, lets look at what is different-
first
Deathstroke gained an extra defence... thats it. Moves him from "hard to hit" to "you will proabably miss- so either have a good plan, or swing for the fences"
Equipment-
Sword- check
Gun- stepped down a bit here- but Light and unlimited range means that you can ALWAYS shoot
Abilities-
Changed a LOT here, and so too did the focus
First off- the biggest feature- is New D gained Acrobat
This is huge, OldD had some mobility issues, and acrobat is the cure- he can get to the fight way quicker here and control engagements- and the bullet dodge is a smooth bonus
The loss of master marksmen shows Deathstroke's shifting focus here
Deathstroke's new ability "soul armour" is essentially a onone shotower armour like freeze. Usefulnesss still a bit debatable, but if you get downtime during a game, he has something to do
it's comparable analogue on ComicD "hardened" which is argueably better in the long term.


Actually, ODeathstroke's gun has not unlimited range, there is an errata, thanks to ... you :

IMO, the greatest difference between these two is the Reinforced Bo. Combo + handy + Strength 3 + 2 stun/hit mean a lot of painfull hits and increased chance of knock down. OK, that doesn't kill, but it's still hurtfull.
