Battle Terrain
Hunter vs. Hunted: Everest

[Culwych1]

Being the king of prep is all good, but this is literally against a being who evolves unpredictably in every single battle. 

Plus, this is Po's home turf

 

 

[DSkillz]

An assassin of Slade's caliber has likely already been to Mount Everest at least once, or at the very least studied the area. 

He tends to study environments very well. 

He also constantly keeps an eye on his targets, so Po very likely won't be able to hide.

If we assume each contestant knows what needs to be done, then couldn't Po just hide in the spirit world using the wuxi finger hold? We know he can move there at will, and Deathstroke definitely has no way of getting there in a week.

Considering Slade already knows what Po's capable of and he's monitoring him, he likely won't give Po a chance to use it.

All it takes is pretty much Po holding his own finger, a split second thing. That's a huge leap assuming that Slade will be able to overcome it - especially as this is a cat and mouse scenario so Po will know he's coming. 

[leroypowell3]

This is like a dream match for a fantasy draft.

Deathstroke so very much could take this but Po so very much could get out of this.

I'm going to go with Deathstroke. HIs modern/enhanced weaponry and intelligence will be like nothing Po can overcome.

Slade could simply kidnap someone Po cares about and place them at an isolated spot of Slade's choosing on Mount Everest. From there, DS could send a message to Po to come out of hiding and meet him or his loved one(s) will die, and Po would then come to the meeting spot, rush to the loved one(s), and then get tagged by a hidden Slade with a well-placed shot from say, a sniper rifle or his energy lance.

Ah but Po is hiding in the Spirit Realm to win this challenge. How would Deathstroke even communicate the fact that he has someone kidnapped? Impossible

I think someone who gets tickled by punches that can break rocks might do OK against modern weaponry.

Simple.

Since Deathstroke has prepped for this for months, he will have already had the loved one(s) held hostage before the hunt began in earnest as a contingency, and Po would've been none the wiser. It could be someone Po hasn't seen for some time before the hunt and he just figured they were out training, meditating, etc. 

From there, Slade could, say, project a huge holographic image of himself, use a loudspeaker, or drop fliers around the vicinity of Everest with the message of the kidnapping. Since Po is already at Everest, he will very likely get the message before he would think to use the wuxi finger hold on himself and have no choice but to comply.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if we can bring others into this scenario - or else the argument would be that Po could just as easily ask the 5 and Shifu to go for the rescue whilst he goes to the Spirit Realm and waits a week, thereby ensuring both the rescue and the win.

Almost forgot about this.

Doubtful Po could hold up against Slade's weapons. His sword can make Superman bleed, blasts from his staff can KO Solomon Grundy, and his grenades can blow off the top half of a high-rise.

Heh, the terrain makes no such distinction, and only states that the hunter has months to prep for this.

Having studied enough about Po and his people to kidnap one of them, he'd also know how to at least keep them at bay long enough to force Po to come to the rescue himself, and Slade has the skill and tools to defeat the rest of the 5 outright. Besides, the 5 would likely be down two since it may not be a good idea to ask the cold-blooded Viper and Mantis to try to endure Mount Everest's arctic climate. Slade may also have already kidnapped one of the 5 or Shifu. 

As a reminder, DS has held two Flashes captive at once. 

He's also no stranger to fighting multiple skilled opponents at once, or manipulating his foes into situations that turn in his own favor.

I like Dskillz plan.
