Galactus' power level varies from year to year, but this took place in the late 60s or early 70s. Thor injured Galactus with Mjolnir, used his godblast, and sent him running. And you're full aware of the Warrior Madness story, even if you don't like it. Also they fought in Surfer #4 and Thor was holding back greatly in that match-up plus he was fighting a Loki-enhanced Surfer.
In a Thor Issue, Gladiator was send from the future of Zarko to defeat the Thunder God, and after a first confrontation where Kallark throw Mjolnir away from Thor that transformed into Jake Olson form.After the Tarene save Olson from being destroyed, the Enchantress arrived and take Olson where Mjolnir was, here he transform into Thor but during the process Kallark arrived flying at superspeed hitting him in the back, but Olson was now Thor, who fire a blast of magic energy with Mjolnir at the Gladiator, sending him out the hole in the ground they make thanks to superfast crash Kallark do on Thor.After they saved a plane from crash on the Airport, Thor fire 1more magic blast, and with 3 heavy blows of Mjolnir of Gladiator's face, he win.This was a short fight, but shows that if Gladiator don't trust too much in his powers, he's bye bye.

In those issues, Thor would've been killed if he'd not have outside help. Gladiator also beat Tarene who saved Thor's life. This gave Enchantress time to get Thor to Mjlonir and give him a second chance to battle Gladiator. Tarene also landed the finishing blow.
Beyonder, the reason Cap can do that is the nature of his shield...it absorbs any true physical/concussive force...anyone can bang on it..as long as it is regular force then Cap wont feel it...the Skrull masquerading as Colossus had technology that allowed him to get through the shield...I totally agree with you about Gladiator and i think he has been downplayed lately...the way he was portrayed in that issue of FF he would have wasted Thor...survive an explosion that would destroy half the solar system? Thor wouldnt come close...They fought another time where Thor was assisted by Reed Richards' tech...FF#339, you should read that one too.

How is it bad writting? Are you saying Thor has light speed reaction? Gladiator moves faster than lightspeed and has always used his speed in his fights. Gladiator speedblitzed Thor and kicked his hammer out of his hand. That's bad writting? Unless you think Thor would've been able to react in less than a second.
He wasn't KOed before Tarene, that was after. And secondly, Thor wouldn't have had that second chance if not for Tarene & Enchantress's interferce; he would've been dead. Thor didn't win anything. Their fight was interupted, and Thor was assisted. It was a three on one fight. Did you see anyone else helping Gladiator?
Right. 'Cause I said Gladiator moved AS fast as light. 🙄 I said Gladiator moves faster than light. Additionally, you're getting this from a Superman Vs. Thor topic? From another poster right? That's just an opinion right now unless you can prove that he does move as fast as his lightning, which I doubt.
