Inexperienced fake Thor finally remembered he had other powers.... it's not cheating to use powers the other guy doesn't have (like Gladboy freezing Wonderman)
real Thor is a much better fighter and knows how to use the hammer better
lol... Yeah, i'd agree with that statement. Unfortunately, a Gladiator mini is just something i can't see happening. Which is a pity, cause he's got a lot of potential. We know nothing at all about his origin. And he's supposed to be millions and millions of years old, so there's lots to be told.
Anyway, i'll probably post some more scans up later today...
Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
<<and ya he stalemated Thor (while he was weakened) and thor's Speed was amped.>>
that wasn't even a fight. they traded a shot, nothing more. and their RELATIVE speeds (to each other) were the same. why do you continue to say thor's speed was 'amped'? they tussled on a moving SHIP!
If i recall, Reed was using tech to boost everyone's speed to the point where everything else didn't appear to be moving at all. But Gladiator was moving at that speed under his own power, which is why it's believed that if Thor didn't have the tech boosting his speed, he'd be beaten.
That's just what i've read on the net though. As i don't have the comic i don't know if that's what actually happened...
Gladiator vs. Thor
There's actually three fights in this. Gladiator first takes on and defeats Thor, then has to fight Tarene, defeats her and then has to fight Thor again where he finally loses.
Part 1
This fight shows that if Gladiator actually uses his speed, Thor doesn't really stand that much of a chance.
Hey Lucid, any shots on Gladiator using arctic/freeze breath? Is Gladiator's freeze breath stronger than Supes'? Thanks for your pics, dude, they are sweet.
Yeah, in Glads fight with Tarene he uses it to take her out. I'll probably post that up later tonight or tomorrow. I haven't seen anything to suggest that Glads freeze breath is stronger than Supes or vice versa. They're around the same the level i'd say.
Part 2 - Gladiator vs. Tarene
After knocking Thor flying across the whole city for a full 60 seconds, Gladiator comes to finish him off but has to fight off Tarene. Glads wins this fight pretty easily, but Tarene does do some damage. Once again, when Glads utilizes his speed Tarene doesn't stand a chance. During this fight some chick (i think it's enchantress or someone) is taking Jake to his hammer so he can turn back into Thor...
Part 3
Glads catches up to Thor just as he's transforming and the final fight is on. Thor gets him with a good blast and then they're interrupted by the plane. Anyway, after they get the plane down Thor takes Glads by surprise with a blast. Then hits him with a the hammer a few times and then Tarene comes in and hits him with "Such power rivals e'en that of omnipotent Odin!".
So, yes, Thor gets the victory. But it's not the clean and easy victory that people try to paint. Gladiator does say that Thor was too strong for him later on, but if anything, these scans show, IMO, that if Glads utilizes his full range of abilities (especially his speed) then he outclasses Thor. And Thor wouldn't have won without outside interference.
Gladiator vs. Ego and Silver Surfer
I think this comic has been ruled as NOT being canon, so these fights never took place. Some people claim that it is canon because it makes referance to other canon events, though the general consensus is that it's not. Nevertheless they're some cool scans and show Glads as the beast he is, so i'm posting them. But they are not canon.
Gladiator vs. Silver Surfer
IMO, this is a good comparing of the two. Showing them as equals. Obviously Surfer has the advantage in versatility that would lead him to beat Glads more often than not. But it shows that Glads is capable of pulling out quite a few wins against Surfer himself.
