One issue I have with the "planet" busting feat by Gladiator is that God only knows how many punches it took him to bust that rock.

Sure, many would argue that they count only 3 or so punches, but this is comics, and many things take place off panel.

Even if something is moving at a particular speed, it still has to cross a larger distance (sometimes huge distances), while raising an arm is considerably less motion to achieve in the same time.

Thor doesn't have to be ftl to react to ftl moves. Just close to them and able to perceive them.

Anyone who's played sports and stopped a ball or puck has shown reaction speed to things moving dozens of mph even though they can't run that fast.

It's still fast reactions either way.

On the other hand catching something moving at the speed of a bullet is not like that. On Mythbusters I think they couldn't even move the short distance of closing their mouth anywhere near fast enough to beat a bullet fired from a distance.

So it comes down to the magnitude of the speed difference. Thor is fast, but I don't think he's even classic Quicksilver fast. Gladiator on the other hand has been shown to be extremely fast, as in Superman type hyper-speed. And if he really can approach FTL speeds Thor would have serious trouble.

Not saying Gladiator necessarily wins, but Gladiator not using his speed much in fights against Thor, Hulk etc always seemed strange to me (the only time I remember him really using it was to match Thor when Thor and the FF had been accelarated to hyper speeds).

One story I thought was interesting with these types of characters was the old AWC annual in Death's realm. Wonder Man was beating on Thor quite well HTH until Thor resorted to blasting him with his hammer. But shortly after when Wonder Man fought Hyperion, Hyperion totally wrecked him with super speed and flight, even though he probably wasn't stronger.

much like all your excuses on how, in every Thor vs Gladiator encounter be it 616 or alternate time line etc, Gladiator always, ALWAYS lost.

Even losing to Masterson Thor. What a whimp.

It's like this: you start something, paul or rage come in and stomp your argument, you lie dormant for some time and start something again, rinse and repeat. Why don't you quit while you are ahead?

I'm sorry, but you only seem to do well in debates when you have the thor-corps chime in and back you up.

In our one on one debates in the past (ie hulk vs thor, and juggs vs thor) I've personally exposed your foolish (or naive) stances quite a few times...which were later also backed up by comic books. So I actually think that if you and carver do a bz, carver has a good shot of winning the debate.

This happens in regular threads, imagine how he would act if I am stomping him in a battlezone.
