How did I know Gladiator would be in this thread? Booty hurt thread. He's obviously trying to shed some light on Thanos since he thinks Thanos is> Black Dwarf. Crazy thing is, Black and Gladiator never fought. Glads punch his weapon, he punched Glads, Glads is still conscious. Crazy thing is, Thanos is afraid of Gladiator and Nova Prime knocked Thanos on his buttocks and it took him a while to get up (also had him screaming out in pain). Another crazy thing is, it appeared Drax cracked Thanos face, whereas Gladiator toyed with the same Drax. Another crazy thing is Gladiator cousin who is inferior go Glads allowed Nova to pound on him and sustained all of it (will post scans in a min). Thanos had a good showing against a non going all out Odin. Fought Tyrant but had a weapon that amped him (which was the reason he did so well) but when he faced Glads he ran and bfred him because he was too dangerous. Faces Nova and got blitzed into a mountain and blasted on his arse (after Nova tanked his punch). Fought another Herald (Drax) that had him on the ropes and per the craaaaaaaaccckkkk sound during one of those punches he either got his neck or jaw broke. He also fought against Morg and was about to lose until someone saved him. As for the thread, Gladiator wins since he is above Thanos.

She casually dismissed all of his attack before the weakness exploiting. No screaming in pain, no laying on the backside as if she was koed (like Thanos) , wasnt blitzed into a mountain.
First she did not casually dismiss all Nova's attacks. She was clearly in pain when getting hit. It also looks like he drew blood.
Second the tide turned for her only when he was distracted. In fact Morrow thought for a sec he'd kill her.
Third he let Xenith beat on him a bit because he was consulting his Novapedia Index to find the quickest way to beat her. Why you ask? If you followed the story properly, his sole point of being there was to get in, get his bro, and then get out. Get it right.

It was also stated that he couldn't kill her. The first hit was a caught off guard hit, the second hit she asked him to do his worst and once she started wailing on him, she appeared as if all of Nova attacks did nothing to her. She showed no sign of fatigue.
I have every comic before this with Nova. Before showing up there, he ran into Blaastar who had the cosmic rod. They fought him but couldn't do any damage. Nova asked him if he could go in to get his bro and Blaastar gave him 15 minutes. After his fight with Xenith, they went outside again but Blaastar didn't want to let him pass. Nova then went on to preach to him telling him that a good King doesn't always bully, they compromise and him letting them go would shed some light on Blaastar with the Nova corpse. Do I need to keep going? I also read the part where Nova said told his brother that he couldn't hold Xenith as long as he did because she was too powerful. He told his brother that he is more versatile with the Nova Force due to him being able to hold her as long as he did.
I guess we had different interpretations of the showing but she appeared to tank his hits but Nova eventually outsmarted her in the end.

It was alluded that her kind is hard to kill and not that he could not kill her. And come on now, his intention was never about killing her.
Same could be said about her blows against him if we're going that route. Also DnA had her portrayed almost like a masochist. She loved pain(also see her fight with Gladz in Kingbreaker). Just because it looked like she was enjoying getting pummeled doesn't mean she was not getting hurt.
Blastaar in the end let his crew pass because he ultimately threatened him by describing how he killed Annihilus... By pulling him inside out.
Hehehe hook, line, and sinker. It's true Robbie was a talented user of the Nova force. But you also missed the next page in which Richard admits to saying what he said only because he was going to send Robbie back to earth. He was only trying to "soften the blow" as was stated on panel. You really think Richie can't at least replicate what Robbie did? His access to the Nova force is like 1000x greater. Come on brah...
