issue?? was it in -continuity-??? that would be the key word here.

Yes. The Mighty Thor #34-35.

it was in continuity but it was also at one of those times where Thor turned human if seperated from the hammer...... and at the end of it Thor kicked the living crap out of 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

holding your breath for any time limit is not the same thing as holding your breath while someone is trying to beat you to death........ in that instance i doubt supes could hold it for 5 minutes

once he started to believe he was going to lose, his power would drop and he'd get his ass kicked.

Gladiator has tons won of battles and has the love and respect of the entirety of the shi'ar empire, his confidence will not drop easily, and as he has fought the likes of Thor and the Silver Surfer to standstills i doubt he'll be worried about a guy in skintight spandex, red underwear and knee high boots

Gladiator is stonger , faster etc than normal superman.

But i whould give this to Superman , since Gladiator stregth decreases if he looses confidense which he will..
facing the man of steal who will go blow for blow with Gladiator is def a prob on his confidence.

And eventual put him down.

Superman is NO joke.

Man of steel takes this

Gladiator is Marvels toughest hero imo and fighting Superman would be a stalemate I believe. Too close to call.

gladiator is as powerful as pre-crisis supes (arguably). so if this is current supes, gladiator will win.

well imo there is only one Superman and the is pre-crisis.

pre crisis superman willknock the shit out of Gladiator.

Gladiator says he can move planet etc never showed such power.

normal superman will beat him , well even tho Gladiator is stonger than normal sups , his confidence(bullshit) he will loose

Merging

if it ain't hulk, juggernaut, solomon grundy, thor, darksaige, colossus(new), thing, apocalypse, onslaught, domsday, then who else but gladiator.

Gladiator is much faster than Superman, and stronger. He could knock Superman out before he thinks about it. The only reason Gladiator lost to Hulk is that Hulk is stronger. Gladiator's confidence fell, and he lost. Gladiator is stronger and faster than Superman. He will not lose confidence in this fight.

Gladiator wins.

Gladiator...because Superman is a dick

Wow how pathetic is this, this is the kind of constructive post that has become so prominent in this forum. People who don't know very much about comic book history failing to give respect where respect is due. Whats your reasoning for calling him "overpowered" is it because he's never challenged, well thats wrong, trying picking up a comic or two once in a while. Marvel fan boys constantly rave about how "gay" or "lame" superman is because many of their favorite Marvel characters pale in comparison to him. How about growing up and realizing that a heroes powers is not what makes him great, its what and why he does what he does.

blowup ok I feel better now.

No,no,no.

Gladiator is as powerful as pre-crisis superman. Post crisis superman isn't fit to spit shine gladiator's boot. Gladiator with full confidence would just fly up at hyper speed(several times the speed of light) and stop right in front of clark, cock his fist back, and punch him in the face, crushing his face in with one blow. Then turn around and fly off.

Amen. This version superman is so water down, he got his butt kicked by booster gold by all people, that's bad. When gladiator loses he loses to top notch beings SS,tyrant,champion of the universes,hulk,thor, DP, I mean damn superman wouldn't last long in the Marvel universe.

by the way which issue did the hulk did beat down gladiator.

This is pretty old but I'd go with Gladiator. He's not just a brawler like Superman seems to be. He has the skills and uses them at "lightspeeds" often.
