According to what I know about Deathstroke he is immortal, is this true or has this changed throughout his history?
Does Deathstroke have some kind of healing factor? I don't think he does because if so his eye would have regenerated..
Exactly HOW intelligent is Deathstroke? He can use 90% of his brain right? So does that mean he's scientifically intelligent or just tactically intelligent?
They said that Deathstroke fired a shot or something and broke the running pattern of Flash, does he have some enhanced sight ability?
Would Deathstroke be more accurate with weapons if he had both eyes?
With all the technology around the DC universe why would they not just replace his eye? I don't think it would harm the character if he miraculously got it back. I mean they turned Cyborg totally HUMAN from where he was so they could give DS his eye back...
Also, I saw in the DC online intro where DS went at Wonder Woman in a sword battle. Now he's NOT superhumanly strong, so he should never have been able to cross swords with Wonder Woman OR does Wonder Woman hold back depending on who she is fighting? I mean one swipe from a sword from someone as strong as her should have either destroyed his sword or knocked him back. Do you not think that this cinematic was a mistake?
As far as hand to hand skills Deathstroke compares with WHO in the Marvel Universe?
Is Deathstroke smarter than Batman?
Getting back to his hand to hand skills if Deathstroke took on a professional boxer like say oh Floyd Mayweather or a person DS's size with Floyds hand skills would Deathstroke be able to beat him boxing?

Yes he has a healing factor, however his eye was destroyed when his wife shot him through it and into the brain, no real explanation has been given for why his eye hasn't regenerated, but a fairly good guess is that his healing factor was too busy repairing the brain to worry about the eye, and when the brain was repaired, the missing eye had become the 'standard'
Is Deathstroke smarter than Batman?
Yes and no, he is less intelligent than Batman (Bruce Wayne), where Batman is a certified Genius, Slade is just somewhat above average, but due to his enhancements, his mind works faster, which allows him to out think Batman
Getting back to his hand to hand skills if Deathstroke took on a professional boxer like say oh Floyd Mayweather or a person DS's size with Floyds hand skills would Deathstroke be able to beat him boxing?
Yes, due to the fact that Deathstroke is also physically enhanced, it's not just his mental attributes that has been enhanced, his skill level is not what allows him to win in various fights, it's his enhancements that do.
Deathstroke his a highly skilled mercenary and assassin, but he mostly relies on his enhancements to win, remove them and he would still be a decent warrior, but not nearly at the level he is with them.

"Does Deathstroke have some kind of healing factor? I don't think he does because if so his eye would have regenerated.."
Yes, he has a relatively powerful Healing Factor. Not quite as powerful as Wolverine or Sabretooth's, but it's upthere.
"Exactly HOW intelligent is Deathstroke? He can use 90% of his brain right? So does that mean he's scientifically intelligent or just tactically intelligent?"
There is no indication of him being particularly Scientifically intelligent. But he has been stated as being "the greatest strategical and tactical mind on earth."
"They said that Deathstroke fired a shot or something and broke the running pattern of Flash, does he have some enhanced sight ability?"
Yes, he does.
"Would Deathstroke be more accurate with weapons if he had both eyes?"
Yes, there's this thing called depth-perception, that you need both eyes for.
"With all the technology around the DC universe why would they not just replace his eye? I don't think it would harm the character if he miraculously got it back. I mean they turned Cyborg totally HUMAN from where he was so they could give DS his eye back..."
Ask the writers. It could be that Deathstroke himself doesn't want it replaced, keeping it as a reminder.
"As far as hand to hand skills Deathstroke compares with WHO in the Marvel Universe?"
Pure skill, he's not really that good. People like Batman, Nightwing, etc. are considerably more skilled than he is. Basically, he's skilled enough to use his physical and mental superiority to win most fights.
"Is Deathstroke smarter than Batman?"
Define "smarter".
"Getting back to his hand to hand skills if Deathstroke took on a professional boxer like say oh Floyd Mayweather or a person DS's size with Floyds hand skills would Deathstroke be able to beat him boxing?"
Pure skill, probably not. But his superior physical and mental stats would give him the win.

Partially cinematic mistake, and partially truth, his sword wouldn't be destroyed, since it's made out of Depleted Promethium, and she's strong enough to casually send him flying across the battlefield, but she Does hold back against various enemies, so it's possible that she's simply trying to defeat him with her skill, rather than overpowering him.

He is not immortal. He does have a prolonged life similar to Wolverine but not as extreme.
Does Deathstroke have some kind of healing factor? I don't think he does because if so his eye would have regenerated..
He does have a healing factor but he is somewhat limited and cant grow back full limbs and such like his eye. He was once stabbed in the heart and it took him days to heal, but if his heart had been somehow removed he could not regrow it. Same with his eye.
Exactly HOW intelligent is Deathstroke? He can use 90% of his brain right? So does that mean he's scientifically intelligent or just tactically intelligent?
He is extremely intelligent. His mind works similar to a computer when it comes to analyizing and problem solving. As far as Reed Richards and Bruce Banner he would be far far below. In his defense though Deathstroke doesnt apply himself in that way. He focuses on what he does best and that is assassinations. His main genius topics involve strategy and tactics.
They said that Deathstroke fired a shot or something and broke the running pattern of Flash, does he have some enhanced sight ability?
yes, his aim is said to be perfect and his timing for such is considered great or near perfect (never miss)
Would Deathstroke be more accurate with weapons if he had both eyes?
yes
With all the technology around the DC universe why would they not just replace his eye? I don't think it would harm the character if he miraculously got it back. I mean they turned Cyborg totally HUMAN from where he was so they could give DS his eye back...
He more uses it as symbol so that his enemies have no mistakes in knowing who is coming for them. Its more pride than anything.

While Deathstroke is in no way near Wonder Woman in strength he is more powerful than a normal human. It is said that Deathstroke has the power of 10 men, but recently he ripped a door off a plane at 30,000 feet travel approx. 500 mph with one hand from the outside. His sword is probably what gave him the ability to fight sword to sword. It is made out of Volatile Promethium. This form of Promethium can absorb near limitless amount of energy. Therefore it would be similar to Cap's shield and just absrob the kinetic energy when the swords strike one another.
As far as hand to hand skills Deathstroke compares with WHO in the Marvel Universe?
He is extremely skilled H2H. Batman is about the only person to beat Deathstroke in a fight and that was barely (without being surprised). In Infinite Crisis it took Batman, Nightwing, and Tim Drake Robin to beat him.
Is Deathstroke smarter than Batman?
No techinically. As far as battle strategy and tactics go yes but as far as chemistry, biology, etc. no.
Getting back to his hand to hand skills if Deathstroke took on a professional boxer like say oh Floyd Mayweather or a person DS's size with Floyds hand skills would Deathstroke be able to beat him boxing?
He would be able to beat them with relative ease with his own training and skill.
Now all of this info is subjective because the current Deathstroke has proven to be much more formidable than before. In his own comic he has taken out so incredible foes. The arc just started but he is currently hired to hunt and kill Lobo.

Hunt and kill Lobo? The cross between Superman and Wolverine, with the added ability of being incapable of being killed because neither heaven nor hell want him? Right.

My god, what do the writers have against Deathstroke? But of course they're gonna tone Lobo's power down so Slade doesn't get brutally eviscerated.

I dont know the full story becuase it just started with the first issue last week in the arc. But Lobo is trying to find and kill Deathstroke's employer. Zealot (from WILDCATS) is overseeing Deathstroke's mission but he has been sent for Lobo. Its either to kill or capture.Hunt and kill Lobo? The cross between Superman and Wolverine, with the added ability of being incapable of being killed because neither heaven nor hell want him? Right.

he may not be as strong as Superman anymore but he is strong enough to rip down 3 foot thick steel doors and ruthless enough to punch through a guards head.My god, what do the writers have against Deathstroke? But of course they're gonna tone Lobo's power down so Slade doesn't get brutally eviscerated.
Like I said the arc just started and its Lobos first appearance in the new 52 so he may be different

Actually it seems to be they didn't tone down Lobo but it may be too early to tell. All I know Lobo vs Deathstroke is gone be awesome.

I don't know about that, it is going to lose some of the seriousness that it should have. Lobo has never been portrayed as a serious character from what I have seen. He just curses and acts crazy yet how will they have this situation gain respect? Overall there will have to be something to power Lobo down, DS can't take him in any kind of fight.
Yet does Lobo have any weaknesses?

Keep in mind that the DC Universe intro also has Flash take a few seconds to reach the Green Lantern and Black Adam instead of simply reaching them instantly with his super speed, so that entire intro could be in one of those crazy alternate realities where everyone is just slightly depowered.

They were also doing it in slow motion so who knows how fast that it could have taken for Black Adam to say Shazam.

In Deathstroke (series) Lobo was originally captured for slave trading. He then broke out of his restraints and swore to kill the one who captured him.I don't know about that, it is going to lose some of the seriousness that it should have. Lobo has never been portrayed as a serious character from what I have seen. He just curses and acts crazy yet how will they have this situation gain respect?

What do you mean by Lobo hasn't been portrayed serious? Thats funny Lobo has had some good stories and some were serious actually. Oh by the way Lobo has always been capable of being knocked out with the right powerful weapon or if your on Superman's level.
