Superman vs Gladiator.

well Superman needs a yellow sun to give him his powers. So lets say for example both of them were fighting in space and they were no were near a Yellow sun then Superman will grow weaker.

Also Superman i believe can only hold his breath for 2 hours

im gonna have to go with gladiator on this one........after carefull consideration. Kallark has more of a warrior's spirit, whether in battle, or just punishing traitor's to the empire, this guy has killed more ppl than cancer. supes on the other we can literally count on one hand how many ppl he has killed. this being said, Gladiator would go balls out from the get go, while supes would just fight on the defensive and try to talk it out. just like he always does with metallo and cyborg superman

then when he launches his offensive it would be more to knock him out rather than to kill him, and when you think about it, hitting sum1 hard enuff to maim is a lot less forceful than hitting hard enuff to kill. and i just dont see that happening, even if his confidence is momentarily shaken.

They've got nearly identical powers. But Gladiator isn't solar powered or weakened by proximity to a certain green mineral. However, Gladiator's power fluxuates defending on how confident he is that he can win a battle. If Superman faced Gladiator when he's "off the clock" Supes would take it. But if Gladiator was fighthing in defense of the Shi'ar and had to seriously defend something, or at least believe that's what he was doing.. then he could put up a good fight, maybe take the win. Too close to call in that scenario.. but again, once he started to believe he was going to lose, his power would drop and he'd get his ass kicked.

seems like Gladiator has somewhat been proven to be much a better fighter than what the Marvel Comics made him out to be because of the Hulk losing to Superman. He got his ass handed to him by Thor and ofcourse the Hulk. Some people said that he fought the Hulk on more than one occasion and was defeated both times

So how about Gladiator with all his abilities fighting the guy that Marvel clone him from, Superman! Well that is what some people are saying.

I dont know much about Gladiator except he has some of the same powers of Superman and that he took a punch from Juggernaut and just threw him to the sea in one of the X-men episodes.

Please can you guys give me more info on him and how he will do in a fight against Superman

Well, Gladiator vs. Hulk=a@@ rapage for gladiator, Superman vs. Hulk=big green door stop. Superman. not to say Gladiator isn't impressive, but Supes would beat him, how much confidence could gladiator have fighting a guy who is "THE BEST" period.

those are fighting words in these forums. But i agree with you.

And, Juggernaut and Gladiator never met in comics, just so you know.

yes they have

😆 ...right because Gladiator reads comics, especially DC comics and Superman titles. He'll surely know that Superman is an icon and job to him.

Gladiator is leader of the Imperial Guard, which is the highest ranked troops of the Shi'Ar Empire - a galaxy size empire. Not only that, Gladiator is known and feared throughout other parts of the universe and other empires such as the Kree and the Skrull. He's loved and respected by his empire's people, feared and respected by his own enemies and that of the empire. He knows this; you think his confidence isn't boosted by this.

Superman is what now compared to Gladiator?

Gladiator is a DD villain, and got his ass kicked by the old man without Fear on more than a dozen occassions.

Oh would you stop Cosmo, you know damn well we're not talking about that Gladiator, lol.

And badspellah, no Juggernaut and Gladiator have NOT met in the comics, only the cartoon. JUST the cartoon. And if they have met in any comic, then give me an issue number.

Anyways, given their respective abilities, this could be pretty close, but I'd probably put my money on Supes in the end. Why? I don't know yet, I'll get back to you on that later.

Marvel Comics are superior to any other

not realy that ur opinion

Superman would defeat the Gladiator without a friggin doubt..I mean is this even debatable!?

Sure Gladiator matches Superman's abilities to a tee, but Superman has a few things which give him the edge, all-american heroes edge, superior marketing popularity, and a good win loss record...Much as I like Gladiator I have to admit that the Marvel writers make him job TOO much for my standards, I mean losing to Cannonball/Invisible girl is one comic, The hulk in another, Thor is another is just too many losses to compete with The "Quintisential" superhero of all-time whom NEVER really loses in his own respective comics...I hate to say it but popularity would come in to play and no sane DC writer would let any marvel writer make somebody only half the public knows about defeat their flagship franchise player...sorry...Superman has proven time and time again that he can go with the best of them, no matter if their stronger, smarter or faster than he is, Superman uses superior logic(Superhero mojo) to find "some kind of way" to defeat any and every being within his power range or even alittle beyond...Gladiator is just your average I meet you...lets fight...kinda guy...not really a "I have to find a way to defeat him" kind of fighter...

Doomsday is about as strong as the hulk, IF NOT stronger, Superman creamed Doomsday the second time around....Need I say more!? In the end Superman is just too "cheesy" to lose, he won't be defeated by any Marvel hero or DC unless its circumstantial(he has clymidia or something)......In the end Gladiator ain't high enough on the food chain to beat the man of steel, anyone who thinks otherwise has to be a die hard Gladiator fan...

wow good post!

I keep hearing there is more than one version of Gladiator. Which is the stronger version or we are simply talking about the same Gladiator before he was destroyed and made cocky and weak by the Marvel Comic book Writers?

hmmmm well there ya go beyonder, i think that post says it all. Plus supes never shows fear to an enemy, He's crush gladiator crush him.

....but sarkastic OJ one thing the incarnation of Doomsday that superman "creamed" was a much much weaker one than the DD that killed him. just food for thought... but I agree that's a great post.

He LOST to Cannonball? 🙄
