You're probably wondering how you might get anything less than your ass handed to you with a smile here. It won't be easy but you'll have help.
Rules
-The Beyonder, as a test of human potential, teleports you to a pocket dimension with Earthly conditions and explains that you must defeat his champion from another Universe, Deathstroke the Terminator. He is willing to imbue you with the powers (only powers) of 3 Street-level characters. You will not gain their fighting skills or intelligence, just their power-set. For completing this task you have been promised your hearts desire.-You will have 6 months prep, and Taskmaster has been teleported in to help train you. Please assume the presence of a gym, a training dojo, adequate food and rest areas and basically anything you might need to train up for the fight. Taskmaster will start you off with an intensive training and diet program and after that will teach you fighting skills, martial arts, weapons and tactics. Weapon specialization is at your own discretion.
-Offensively, you can use any conventional weapons or firearms. You may not use explosives or incendiaries. No adamantium, magical or otherwise special weapons unless chosen as your reward.
-Defensively, you will not have any kind of armor. You may use street clothes or have the Beyonder create you a superhero outfit. No kevlar or vibranium unless chosen as your reward.
-You may use character powersets from any comicbook character. Let's just assume Marvel's Beyonder can give you the powers of any DC/Vertigo/Dark Horse etc characters.
-You may not use any character with magic, reality warping etc. The benchmark for maximum tier is Spiderman. If the character whose powers you choose would easily beat Spiderman you may not acquire those powers. Please be sensible.
-You will not have access to exotic technology or magical items.
-At the start of the 5th month you will be visited by the Beyonder who will be either pleased with your progress (and offer you a reward) or concerned with your lack of development (and secretly try to help you by granting you a boon) As such the Beyonder will offer you either an Adamantium weapon of your choice or a Vibranium chestplate. You may only choose one or the other. You will have the remaining time to train with the weapon under Taskmaster's tutelage. The Vibranium chestplate will protect your chest, sides and back from your collarbone to your hips like a vest.
-The battle will not end until one of you dies, is knocked out or willfully yields.
-If you win the battle the Beyonder will heal any of your wounds, give you your wish and let you keep your powers as you return home.
-If you lose the battle the Beyonder will become morose with humans and kill everything on our planet, starting with cute kittens.
-You are made aware of all of the rules and conditions of the battle.
Setting
-After the 6 months are up you and Slade will be teleported to a perfect replica of New York city that is completely empty.-You start at opposite ends of Central Park.
-You do not however, have to enter Central Park if you do not feel it is to your advantage and you can take to the city streets (or rooftops) if you wish.
-For the purposes of survivability please assume that all stores have neverending supplies for fresh food, the hotels all have passcards on their desks etc.
-The battle will not end until one of you dies, is knocked out or willfully yields.
-Deathstroke does not have prep and will only be aware of the situation once the battle begins.
-Deathstroke will be carrying on his Prometheum Sword, an Uzi and a Colt .45.
-The Vibranium Chestplate will stand up to the Sword but can be cut along the grain, though since Slade is from another Universe he will not be aware of this weakness.
-For the purposes of the battle Adamantium and Prometheum will be of virtually the same strength.
