@chu42t: Slade could not take a chi punch, a helicarrier couldn't, a temple couldn't and he didn't even hit it directly, a bullet train was obliterated by one of his punches, etc. He's knocked out Colossus with a punch. He's fast enough to casually dodge bullets supposing he doesn't decide to just catch them. And he has the most extreme training regimen. As a test Danny had to battle a dragon to gain the power of Iron Fist. He just has too many abilities that put him on top here, and he has since had his powers augmented.
Slade is also not "substantially stronger" than Captain America. As he has replicated Slades feats and more. Nothing has ever been shown or stated for people to assume this. Slade can cut a car in half with a sword, Captain America has sliced a semi truck in half with a shield toss, even a tank. Has thrown his shield faster than missiles (they were already launched and well into the air before he even threw his shield). Slade can rip a door off a jet, several times has Steve demolished steel doors just as easily, even holding open thick steel doors (as in thicker than him) at a gamma plant. He's pulled down a helicopter, held up rubble from a collapsed skyscraper he was in, casually carried trees and telephone poles, tossed a giant piece of rubble hitting a person atop a building, grabbed Wolverine and Ms Marvel in each hand and still dodged bullets.
Speaking of which, he has done this countless times effortlessly from multiple gunmen up to even point blank range, including bullets shot from behind, not even moving til after they fired. He's even stated that he can see bullets traveling through the air. Supposing he does get shot, like he did in the back seat of a car multiple times up close, he brushed it off and kept going. He even recovered from a bullet to the head quickly. He's tanked hits from a 50 toner, defeated Iron Man (breaking the armor), defeated Beast, and even the Hulk a few times, etc. Captain America even has at least as good showings against speedsters. Slade has reacted to kid flash a few times but mostly he relies on prep to tag speedsters. Captain America has easily dodged blitzes from speedsters, even dodging and countering a blitz by Quicksilver with little effort. As for his skill, he was trained in everything in prep for the Super Soldier Program, afterwards, aside from his physical attributes increasing his brain did as well. Allowing him to learn things at a superhuman rate. He has stated he learned and mastered every form of martial art and military tactic. So don't go thinking too quickly that Captain America is outmatched here.
