I disagree,
even if bias would be involved, ok it will be involved, still yopu would find an average in Marvel chars (from pro-Marvel fans) and an average in DC (from pro-DC fans), combine both to get a result.
I would put WBH and Gladiator above Thanos. If we go into detail, WBH above Gladiator, but only because of Hulk being so popular, but in my opinion, Gladiator could operate at completely those level WBH did in his best showings (this is only strenght wise), overall, he could take down such beings as WBH alone.
Gladiator was always a real deal in my eyes.

WBH is far above Gladiator. This is from on panel evidence. Thanos is as well. Gladiator is strong, but he's more on Herc's level. Just ask yourself how well Gladiator would have done in a test of strength with Tyrant. Tyrant would have folded Gladiator IMO. And it wasn't because of popularity either, it's just where Gladiator is in comparison to WBH, and Thanos.

Tyrant already folded Gladiator along with others. Tyrant is completely different leauge, strenght and overall wise.
I just want to say that Gladiator is one of those that could be written that way and wouldn't be blown out of proportions, because he is one of those.
If he can be written to beat Ego down, to tear stars down easily, traveling 100xspeed of light, to contain the power that would destroy half a solar system etc... he was always dangerous.
Even when Hulk beat him in 1997, that was just not real. Gladiator should be too much for that Hulk.
Nowadays... where was WBH far above Gladiator (I have no doubt about that, since Hulk is monstrously over written , good that Zeus put him in his place... good that Grek Pak said not even WBH is not level of Zeus)?
Anyway, Gladiator could be written at those level (WBH, Thanos), maybe even was, but we forgot how powerful he can be and to fight with all powers he has, Gladiator is wow.
I know this is strenght wise thread... WBH, WWH, Gladiator > Thanos.

Way too many characters and variations on the same character in this thread, and way to many agendas hidden in lineup.
And I'm not talking about the OP but just in general everyone is going to have wildly differing lists based on like and dislike for characters.
You could have a hard time getting people to agree on character levels between the different versions of that character. Although that may be the best way to approach this thread.
Organize the different variations of the characters then try and meld those lists into one coherent one.
