Marvel team is a bit superior.

Funny that supes is the only one who needs his weaknesses removed stick out tongue

PillarofOsiris
Considering Kryptonite from other universe doesn't affect him anyway, and the Marvel team wouldn't even know about them anyway, I don't think he needs them removed. Also, it's funny whenever there's a Superman vs X debate, everyone always brings up kryptonite or red solar radiation, like they couldn't beat him without it. Enough of that rant anyway.


Captain Marvel vs Thor could go either way, but edge to Thor.

Edge to SS vs Hal

MMH completely owns Beta Ray Bill

Wonder Woman beats Gladiator quite handily

Superman will take down X-man.

I'm going to go with DC on this.

(oh, and what about Gladiator's weakness?)

Lord Feron
Don't think anyone here can affect glads physically to cause him to weaken himself psionically.

But whatever, as for the fight team 1. Too much diversity and comparable strengths. Good fight mainly because team 2 already has good team work (then again Hammer bros and Glads+ surfer have fought along side a many times as well).

Hal vs. Norrin could go either way, but other than that I completely agree with everything you've posted. People always bring up Superman's weakness, but forget that Thor is a sloth, Silver Surfer has a glass jaw, Gladiator lacks balls, Beta Ray Bill looses because he's ugly and X-man isn't Wolverine. stick out tongue

Team 1 needs less Gladiator.

nwg202
how does supes take out shaman x-man? he can function as pure energy and he has monster tp. mm or gl would be better match ups vs nate....nate vs mm's tp would be interesting.

Newjak
Just to clarify this isn't a series of one on one battles, it seemed like a couple of people were treating it like on, this is a team battle where everyone is fighting at the same time.

What about supes magic weakness?

If I took Supes Magic 'weakness' away then I would take away Glads/Thor/Green Lantern/Wonder Woman's telepathy 'weakness'.

To me there's a difference between a weakness that takes away your powers and a type of attack you're just not being particularly suited against like magic/telepathy/or other types of energy attacks or physical attacks to.

So I'm not making Superman immune to magic.

One other big advantage DC has hear is MMH. He can and has mentally coordinated the DC team's attacks, making them a much more coherent team.

Binary, Vulcan, Hyperion, Rachel, destroyed the Nova corps, ran through and entire race of super human elite squad that attacked the Shiar empire, destroyed Wonderman, toyed with Masterson (before the cheap shot) treated Nova like a Newbie (showing was a lot better than what Thor did against Nova)...raped Quasar who needed assistance from Black Bolt. I'm pretty sure I am forgetting something but Thats enough imo. All of his fights usually be him DOMINATING his opponent (until plot kicks in). The same will be with whoever he is fighting against on the DC team and there will be no plot to save them.

Gladiator lowballing is low quality and not funny. Anyway team one actually has a chance to win this.

Team 2

It's not lowballing. It's the truth, though you may be loath to admit and accept it. Gladiator is solidly right below the top tiers and is upper-mid tier himself. The other guys all have better feats than him.

Not really.

Captain Marvel: Routinely fights someone far more formidable than Gladiator in the form of Black Adam. Can stalemate Superman, who's across the board superior to Gladiator in terms of feats. Also has magic capabilities, which are confirmed to be a weakness to Gladiator.

Green Lantern: Has constructs capable of harming or restraining him, far more versatile, has firepower the likes of which would mess up Gladiator at higher levels. All of the Earth Lanterns would beat Gladiator.

Wonder Woman: Far better fighter than Gladiator, has haxxed magical weaponry, routinely fights people in Gladiator's class and holds her own.

Martian Manhunter: The one guy here who actually effects his confidence via mindrape.

Superman: Virtually superior in every aspect to Gladiator in spite of people who cling to flying 100 times the speed of light and breaking apart giant space rocks as things far beyond Superman's capabilities.

gladiator is getting his ass kicked when going up against big guns like thor hulk and silver surfer, supreme dominated him, black bolt got the better of him, even hyperior was stalemating him until glads got the upper hand, seriously he can only defeat low level heralds and metas but the top dogs will always have his ass, anyone on team 2 will spank gladiator and its not lowballing its the truth

Have to agree with you there Carv, Glads is not a weak link but I would say he is very slightly below his teammates - which is no shame considering who we are talking about here.

Sometimes I wonder where the growing Gladiator hate lately come from. He got stabbed by Logan, so what? That happens to everyone sooner or later, including Thor.

When did the real Gladiator and Thor fight? Hulk has dominated Thor as well along with numerous of other Heralds. Black Bolt is near undefeatable in Marvel, the guy can't be beat outside of plot. Sentry, Hulk, Magneto, along with numerous of other Heralds fear him and I don't blame them.

You clearly don't have enough knowledge about Gladiator and if you do, you are lowballing. When did Surfer and Gladiator fight? They fought in a non Canon book and Gladiator had the advantage.

I hope you are enjoying your opinion. I have never seen any of these guys treat Heralds the way Gladiator treats them during combat. Sorry Jake, when it comes to Glads, your opinion goes in one ear and come out of the other. I'm literally writing your opinion down on a piece of paper and pi**** on it. So you might as well stop responding to me about Gladiator.

Gladiator admitted Thor was too powerful for him. that's straight from Gladiator's own mouth. An unexperienced Masterson Thor beat him. Gladiator briefly beat Thor thanks to the 60 second curse (which no longer exists), then was beaten shortly afterwards. Canonball beat him. Hulk beat him. Black Bolt beat him (and BB is NOT UNBEATABLE....Thor beat him).

Heralds fear him? Silver Surfer told him to his face that he could take him out in seconds, and Gladiator didn't say anything. His big claim to fame is It took him several punches to break a planet of unknown size. (Some planets are smaller than moons, and don't give me the argument about the moons, as those moons looked tiny, and PLUTO has a moon). What else does he have?

gladiator admited thor is superior to him, even masterson thor the inferior version of thor punked his butt in, hulk dominated gladiator easily it was more of a rape than a fight, black bolt was portrayed as the better one between the 2 like or not and you can make excuses till tomorrow , also like was stated canonball owned him and thats pathetic.

The thing that concerns me about Gladiator is not his strength, but his speed.

Superman, Manhunter, Diana, etc. all are fractions of lightspeed, unless it's their Pre-Crisis versions. But Gladiator has shown that he's capable of reacting to and adjusting his speed to counter something akin to a time stop. The guy can detect a time stop, and actually sped himself up to hundreds of times the speed of light to match the time dilation and actually catch up to Thor, who has super speed of his own.

Superman is MANY MANY MANY times faster than Gladiator.

gladiator can go 100x light speed in flight. Superman went from Vega to Earth in MAYBE 1 minute (probably less). that's 25 light years. Given it takes light 25 years to make the journey:

25 years x 365 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes = 13,140,000 minutes.

Superman did it in ONE minute. that's 13 million times light speed, compared to Gladiator's 100 times lightspeed.

and with all that he gets his ass handed to him by top tiers and second tiers, i dont care about some feat of him being faster than light and believe me the DC team will match or supress him in speed, what i do care about is the consistant showings of everybody raping him which has in my eyes far more weight than a single scan and narration

You see, this is the post of a person that doesn't read comics. I said the REAL Gladiator, not a Gladiator plucked from a different timeline. That fight is not Canon to the real deal.

Lol...Masterson got dominated by Gladiator and his body went limp twice in that fight. Masterson won by plot. Like I've said, Gladiator usually dominates his opponent, and Masterson is a good idea of this.

Lololololol...Cannonball didn't beat him. Cannonball was getting wrecked by Gladiator and when Gladiator was about to punch him in the heart of the sun, Cannonball absorbed his punch and redirected all that power back at Gladiator (Cannonball gained a new power by fighting Gladiator...can anybody say plot) and Gladiator still concious. Cannonball the use this same power against the Fury and dominated it. If Cannonball was to use this same ability against any physical Herald here, the same results would happen...doesnt matter since Gladiator didn't lose.

Hulk has beaten Thor as well...more Times than he has defeated Gladiator so what's the point in bringing that up. Hulk is just that powerful.


If you don't know what Gladiator have done then don't debate against him.

JakeTheBank
Gladiator's speed isn't going to be some kind of insurmountable advantage against anyone on team two. No one's lowballing Gladiator here by saying that everyone on the opposing team has superior feats to him. That's just fact.

Newjak
While I do agree that Gladiator is no Superman nor is he a Captain Marvel I don't see him getting out and out dominated either.

I picked him mostly to add a little more raw speed to team 1.

Basically this. Gladiator is what he is, a low to sometimes mid herald level character, and nowhere close to high heralds like Thor, Superman, Silver Surfer, or Orion. These are Heralds who have trans feats, and sometimes beyond. Gladiator just isn't in that league.

What's funny is, Carver keeps clinging to the fact that that was a "plot device win", when normal Thor has used lightning that is FAR...FAR more powerful than living lightning, and is FASTER. Thor can amp his lightning's speed and power to unknown levels. So normal Thor, who would have been a better fighter also, could have absolutely WRECKED that Gladiator so much worse.

I'll be in the minority here, but the Marvel team also has another "weak link", in Beta Ray Bill. I've always thought of him as a poor man's Thor, with lower durability, and no trans options like the godblast. I'd have replaced Glads and BRB with Black Bolt and a non-Void Sentry, and you'd have a good fight on your hands.

Hm...who's had a harder time with Wolverine? Thor or Hulk? Obviously you also fail to understand the term PIS as well. But we all knew that. Nothing anyone here has said has been lowballing Gladiator, except maybe Cannonball. It's not lowballing when it's the characters normal power levels.

Hm I think Glads is still the most powerful of those, Quasar is a good pick considering how his power would complement the team. Black Bolt is not quite elite herald, despite his scream. Sersi would have been an excellent choise.

Yeah, actually she'd be better than Sentry actually, IMO. Good call.

But I think Black Bolt has clearly been portrayed consistently as more powerful than Gladiator.

I would say BB fights smarter and more stratecically, which along with a coolness/hero factor has racked up an impressive record. Glads on the other hand sometimes act plain dumb (standing still while using HV and letting Hulk grab his face for instance), but in raw power I`d say he beats Blackagar. Not by a lot anyway, I`ll agree to disagree.

Anyway it is partly true, Glads is a blindly loyal superman and gets the short stick so heroes/cool baddies can shine. Still he gets his moments, but not often.

Funny, considering the guy who created Thanos (I'm guess you know who that is...hopefully) said himself he ripped off Darkseid and Metron. (he actually used the words "ripped off"wink.
