I'm not disagreeing or agreeing. Just want to know what standard you are using and that you keep using that standard for every thread. Agreed?

Ok well then. What's Gladiator's best feat of combat speed and reactions?

Gladiator is awesome but Black Adam kills him. Comparable physical stats but BA has that magical lightning.

And Gladiator can perform brain surgery on him with a glance.

He had a tesseract bomb go off in his head.

So you're saying that it's impossible to KO Teth? I'd imagine that Gladiator could grab BA by the head and laser vision his eyes out giving him the ability to beat the shit out of him at super speed. If you're arguing that it would be impossible for this to happen, I'd love to know your reasons.

And that had him reeling.
Don't forget that the nerdbois took him down.

DarkSaint85
My point was that brain surgery isn't the way to go.......

krisblaze
It might be.
The brain attack was the first of the nerd attacks that really had an impact on him.

MrMind
fuk this im getting high

Since when Gladiator can perform brain surgery?

I think they are mistaking gladiator with superman again

Yes, but it was the equivalent of having a football field open up inside one's brain.

VERY different from what Stoic is proposing.

My heart says Black Adam, but my brain says Gladiator.

There is just no world, where I can see Black Adam shattering planets with his fists or dodging Galactus blasts, after he fires them. So I think that Gladiator is stronger and faster. It would be a good and close fight though.

Remember Black Adam has all of his feats. Which includes Silver Age.

He does that constantly. He chimes in on threads in which he has no knowledge of the characters and then asks other people for information and feats. When others refuse and tell him to do his own homework, he uses that to defend his stance. He's a joke.

Punched a planet multiple times to destroy a dead planet. Good feat. Everyone knows that one. He definitely has the power to ko Adam.

Crossing galaxies in the blink of an eye is not applicable to combat.
Why? Because
1. We don't know what Gladiator's initial acceleration was. How long did it take him to even reach light speed?

2. Characters will not travel faster than what they can react to. Otherwise, they would crash into or overtake their destination. Reactions is all about time (distance/speed) and not speed alone.

It was a very durable planet. Gladiator waited until he blinked before he made his move, common sense would tell you that he would have been seen if he was already moving.

Since when is Black Adam immune to damage of this level? Since when is Black Adam's eyes impervious to laser vision? That's pretty much what, or where I'm going with this. Being at least blinded by those beams would give Gladiator a decent amount of time to get in a crap load of damage. I was asking DarkSaint why this particular approach would be impossible.

I think Adam is fast enough to cross his arms.

Not more durable than average planet. But I agreed that he has the power to ko Adam.

You have to prove that he moved only when Heimdall blinked. How would Gladiator know when someone who does not have eye lids blink or be able to see that far without any feats to back that speculation up.

Also you did not rebut my argument about moving faster than reactions and that reactions is based off time (distance /speed) and not speed.

I think Gladiator is strong enough to to momentarily grab Adam by the head and blind him. This power is a glaring advantage for Gladiator.

Proof that it was far above normal planets durability. Read the book. It said that even a God has to blink once in awhile. While his eyes were open, gladiator waited. When his eyes closed during that blink, gladiator moved across galaxies. Not even your boy Superman can do that.

It didn't survive the destruction of a galaxy wide attack. It, and many other nearby planets, remained after the death of the galaxy. Death of galaxies implies death of many stars. Stars dying do not greatly affect planets. The Earth still will be standing following the death of our Sun.

Wrong! No where did it say Gladiator waited for Heimdall to blink. Heimdall has no eye lids to blink. It was merely a figure of speech saying that Heimdall had a quick break from watching things.

Again you are ignoring my other arguments. This is trolling (ignoring evidence).

I don't think he is strong enough to do that. What's stopping Adam from frying him with lightning?

Stoic
Originally posted by abhilegend

They're about equal in terms of strength and physical stats. Gladiator's laser beams are automatic. I'm not saying who would win, but instead stating that Gladiator would in no way be outclassed by Black Adam. Either could win, and Gladiator has a faster method of delivering a stun via laser vision to BA's eyes. It's one of the reasons that I'd give Superman, and his closest clones the win over BA, or Shazam. The heat vision to the eyes is nearly automatic, which even for the briefest of instances would cause temp blindness. When you're talking about guys that can move at those speeds, even 10 seconds is an eternity when considering the number of punches, kicks, elbows, etc that they can generate.

Again, either of these guys could win.

abhilegend
Except you're saying Gladiator can do it automatically to someone like Adam. Can he do it to say Thor too?

Stoic
Why wouldn't he be able to do that to Thor without PIS being included? He had Masterson and Wonder Man beat until plot had him stand there to gloat. When he grabbed Jane Thor by the throat he could've done that to her as well.

What about say Silver Surfer?

Stoic
The Surfer's physical makeup is different than Thor and Black Adam. No true comparison can be made here. Thor did however need a device to keep up with a version of Gladiator that Reed made. So what if it was an alt? 616 Gladiator can move that fast as well. These comparisons don't work. Neither of these two are so far apart in stats that one would stomp the other without an exploit. Gladiator's go to move is probably faster than shouting Shazam since he only needs to look into his eyes and fire.

Those are my reasons.

So, you're unaware that Adam doesn't need to shout Shazam to attack with lightning, right?

Superman has actually done that. Gladiator has not.

Face, yes. Eyes specifically? No.

Adam is durable enough to tank any HV from Gladiator at the face.

Stoic
What does that matter? He has the capability to do so is what I'm saying. It would not be impossible for either of these two to defeat one another. On average they're physical peers.

He took MMH's eye beams in WW3.
It hurt, but it didn't kill him.

Who has Gladiator actually beaten with these hotter than sun beams?

Stoic
So you guys persist in the idea that Gladiator would be no match for Black Adam? Are you trying to make it seem like BA is more than he actually is? If so, who would give him a good fight? Are you promoting him to Thanos levels? I'm trying to grasp why you guys believe that BA is above Gladiator's weight class?

DarkSaint85
Eh, I guess because OP gave him all his feats.

Comics, movies, Silver Age weird stuff (like the time he.... collected all the lightning in the world in his hands - stupid stuff like that) - it all counts for him.

Stoic
Ahhh so a tailor made one sided scam thread.

DarkSaint85
Well, others don't seem to think so.

Unless I'm the only one who reads OPs lol

Even without that stipulation Black Adam consistently outperforms Gladiator imo.
