Canonball channeling his powers to block one punch from Gladiator, taking Kallark by suprise then knocking Gladiator flying with one blow means a win for Cannonball? Hows about taking into account that Gladiator wasn't their to fight or kill Cannonball but rather to find the X-Men. He was toying with Cannonball throughout most of the fight. Even after than one shot, Gladiator emerged fine. Then he talked with the other X-Men and sent them to the Shi'Ar empire, all except Cannonball who wanted to come but was DENIED by Gladiator who still refered to him as a KID.
Cannonball did squat to Gladiator. Since when does one shot to an opponent means a win when the opponent gets up without a scratch.

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...
You act as if Sue is weak. And his confidence dropped after Reed used a device to make Captain America, hiding behind his shield, appear to be Reed as Gladiator's many punches were absorbed by the shield. Then after his confidence dropped, thus his concentration and Sue was able to knock him out with her invisible force field.
As for Thor, when did he lose to Thor? And don't even bring up Masterson Thor, he was getting beat up most of the fight; he then used his teammate Living Lightning to attack Gladiator unsuspectingly and then Masterson quickly used his hammer to put down Gladiator. Gladiator dominated that fight; and before that, Kallark easily beat down Wonder Man who volunteered to fight Kallark after Masterson CHICKENED OUT.
In Man of Tommorow and Across All Worlds, Gladiator dominated the fight. Thor barely survived and won only with the assistance of Enchantress and Tarene/Thor Girl.
As for Hulk, I already explained this. Go search Gladiator on this board and look up Hulk Vs. Gladiator. As for Superman beating Doomsday, the first time they met; Superman killed himself trying to beat DD. When Superman easily defeated DD, it was a weaker version, someone already mentioned this.
As it stands, I fell to see Superman beating Gladiator friggin easy in any way.
