Silver Surfer vs. Gladiator

I think Surfer could take Gladiator without much trouble. I mean Surfer isn't really a good person to have in a VS thread being that he isn't a common combatant but given his power displayed I believe he could dispatch Gladiator or Superman. This is a guy that single handedly saved the Earth from destruction on his own recently, while it was happening, reversed the end of the world.

Not to mention the fact that he took a full on nuclear assault and survived pretty much unharmed.

That surfer series sucked @ss. And I am a huge Silver Surfer fan considering I own Vols. 1-4. I woulnt have even read vol. 4 if I wasnt a fan but I stuck it out. But I think him and Gladiator would be a great battle. Surfer would have his hands full. I think it would go either way. Hand to hand combat Surfer loses. I dont ever remeber him even throwing a punch at all in any of his fights. Not that he has too. But i think Gladiator could withstand a full energy blast so Who knows and with that Gladiator might come out the victor.

i only have the communion, i´m going to buy revelation when i have the money.

i liked communion. but we can´t all like the same.

Judging by your name you must like Surfer. But out of all of his Mini series and vols 1-4. The latest one was a huge upset. Galactus was not even mentioned or did anybody else from the Marvel Universe make a appearance. Plus he didnt even mention his home planet or shalla ball or anything. And to top it all off he didnt even really show how much power he actually has. Disappointing

but that story was completely different, it wasn´t mention to be the typical comic story with fights and showing off power.

The new Surfer series, all 14 issues, was one of the most intelligent stories I've read in comics.

why was it cancelled? it wasn´t selling? thats too bad i was really liking the story.

Gladiator. Anything the Surfer throws at him he will just be stronger than. Nothing can beat him.shaun

It's Surfer. Not because of Gladiator's confidence thing "when he has second thoughts, Surfer will pummel him! Uber roxors!". No, the confidence thing doesn't come into play most of the time. You can look at it two ways, he knows who Surfer is, he can either wimp out and be a *****, or he can be the mighty Praetor of the Shi'Ar empire, harden his resolve and go in there ready to take on Galactus himself. I opt for the latter, but still in the end, Surfer possesses superior power.

I liked Surfer's latest volume too. It was an interesting story, and not the usual fare for Surfer (which is why I think it sold poorly. It would have done better as an original concept novel or something). Though, I didn't mind, because honestly we've seen all the Surfer impugns against the monstrous Galactus fights before.

They've fought once already, to a stalemate. Surfer tryed to come to the aid of Ego who was fighting Gladiator. They gave each other their best attacks, and neither would let up. It's hard for me to say, since they're so close, but for some reason I'm leaning towards Gladiator.

^^^^^^^^ was out of continuity 😉

but anyway, if it wasnt for the whole "confidene" thing i'd say gladiator would smack surfer around.

then again if you are going to change that... about gladiator, i assume the surfer backer uppers (hehehe) would want to change his pacifist ways. then it would be one hell of a fight... i'd pay to see 😄

i'd still pick gladiator though.

Anything published is in continuity regardless of if you like it or not.

I stand by my previous claims however.

lol.. in continuity?? do you even know what hes talking about??? it wasnt in continuity, and even if it was, it didnt say one way or the other about who would win...

i believe hes talking about those "marvel adventure" comics or whatever they are. they arent even close to being accurate 😉

"i believe hes talking about those "marvel adventure" comics or whatever they are. they arent even close to being accurate"

Never said they were accurate but anything published is referable material.

lol... so the drake snack cake comics that were published as a comical relief effort are referable??? lol... i find that funny. so hulk wolverine and spiderman can attack dr. doom in his home (in his friggin home) and actually beat him without much effort??? if you can believe that one....

Read this properly this time: "Never said they were accurate but anything published is referable material".

Gladiator will get his ass kicked to any popular strong Marvel Superhero because the writers said so

Gladiator loses by a long shot, sure they had a stalemate before BUT I forgot that this is a mockery character and he "never" really beats anybody in a one of one confrontation without some type of outer interference resulting in his untimely yet frequent defeat.

I think you are right. Gladiator has no real weaknesses that Surfer can exploit though. If I was a writer I would let Gladiator take this one.
