If thor can move faster than the speed of light then he could beat pretty much anyone. I'd say that since he doesn't generally move at light speed then Thor hitting S Surfer was just bad writing.
Gladiator was also beaten by cannonball, who is probably the only marvel character that's more of a hick than Rogue.
Gladiator is definitely losing this fight, his track record against people with a southern drawl is not a good one.
Why does Thor get a weapon and everyone else has to go at it bare knuckled? That's like a wrestler using a steel chair in the ring.
Even with it Rogue can still knock him out if she gets to him and i think she can do it if she gets some hulk power or takes some of Gladiator's power while he's preoccupied with hulk.
I've never seen that special, if you know the name of it let me know, i'd be interested in checking it out.
If gladiator knocked Rogue out with a punch then that doesn't mean she couldn't absorb some of his power. If the power drain just doesn't work on him then she wouldn't even try it, and just take Thor's instead.
I've seen the thread with gladiator and Hulk. and someone has some scans posted of Hulk beating gladiator unconscious so I don't think he can deal with hulk that easily.
Gladiator was under radiation poisoning from a conveniently placed nuclear reactor. Hulk got lucky. Gladiator was incredibly weakened.
Thor throws Rogue into a portal. Just one of the many ways Thor can beat Rogue's skanky a$$. And even if Rogue absorbs the Hulk, she ain't standing up to a godwave blast. A godwave blast destroyed a Celestial armour...
Gladiator wasn't "beat" by Cannonball. He was deflected into a building. Gladiator got out in a second and was gonna pummel Cannonball's ass when the X-Men interfered. Gladiator has beaten Silver Surfer and has stood toe-to-toe with Thanos. Rogue is a fly to him.
Overrating Gladiator and Thor? Please you're completely overrating Rogue. She's a low-level character. Thor and Gladiator rountinely fight cosmic gods and entities and win easily.
Thor's hammer can go up to speed of sound or above. Rogue ain't dodging it.
The first encounter Thor thought Rogue was a just a ordinary woman with superstrength. That's how she caught him by surprise. Never again. After all his face was two inches from her hand. How was he supposed to know she could absorb her powers?
Hulk's healed from everything that's ever happened to him, he's pretty much unbeatable when sufficiently pissed.
If you're in the superhero business you should know better than to let anyone get too close. He let Rogue get too close in their first encounter and he let her get too close a second time and she socked him in the face. Thor is obviously a slow learner, just like most blondes.
Sexist bastards don't usually learn. He's the kind of guy who thinks "I'm a big bad Norseman no scrawny chick is gonna get the best of me. "
Then he gets beat again.
