http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Thanos/Thanos12pg13.jpgThanos raised him arm and stopped him point blank, so naturally Fallen One is slow.
And here's another example of him taking off. Notice he's basically gone in the same panel he takes off. Which happened everytime.

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Thanos/Thanos12pg02.jpgSo keeping consistent, we believe he was acting at that speed every single time, but he suddenly slowed down to take down Thanos? What kind of belief is that?
Also, I might as well post Thanos stopping him when Fallen One is completely pissed off:
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Thanos/Thanos12pg16.jpgThe only conclusion to get from this is that he was moving at an incredible speed. That's it. There's nothing less. And his speed was without a doubt shown as faster than Gladiator's in this comic, so...
Anyway, a couple scans are missing. A good addition would be the Champion fight, who Thanos made look like a fool. Of course Champion has tagged Mantis and completely made a fool of Gladiator, but I don't feel the need to show it. If someone wants to of course...
Now, onto Gladiator's supergreat blitzes. Not that he's slow, but he's more than capable of being tagged by Thanos considering the amount he's been tagged by people either on his reflex level or lower.
Anyway, just a couple of Gladiator's failed blitzes.

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Gladiator/X-MenEmperorVulcan02pg009.jpg
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Gladiator/X-MenEmperorVulcan02pg010.jpgAnd here's a good one. Gladiator moving too fast for Torch to see still manages to not KO Torch with that punch. Which pretty much sums up almost every Gladiator blitz. Sure he moves fast, but it's largely ineffectual to vastly lesser beings. Oh yeah, same comic he went 100 times lightspeed too.
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Gladiator/FF249_21.jpgCould use more examples, but that suffices. Basically, Gladiator's bullrush speedblitzes are in no way enough to be 2 quick for Thanos. He has been tagged by less trying it, and that's from a small number of comics looked through.
If people want to prove Gladiator is too fast for Thanos, then prove it using Gladiator's speed showings. Go ahead.
Another interesting point, is that in some of those same issues are the proof used for Gladiator's great speed.
But why oh why is this an issue? No one besides Carver has even shown a successful Gladiator blitz, and that was against a bunch of slow people. Even if Gladiator does blitz him for whatever reason, Thanos is more than capable of reacting to it and tanking the others. As evidenced by so so sooooo many other people doing it.
Could go more in depth, but considering the COMPLETELY REAL GLADIATOR FANS can't even look at a comic to defend Gladiator, there's literally no need. Which is why this isn't directed at anyone in particular considering it's all the same shit.
Carver is literally the only person who has brought forth any proof of Gladiator's speed, and that was more of a passing thing that meant nothing. Carver.
Now considering this is the most butt****ing retarded thread on the forum at this moment, I guess this would mostly be directed towards Thanos fans so they have something to combat it. I'd argue with people but honestly... 😬
With that said Thanos wins easily 10/10. I can see why this thread went in the direction of Gladiator's non advantage that could somehow be construed into an advantage considering that's literally all he has. If someone wants to get into raw power, I can supply Insane Titan with some proof so he can go on an angry rampage if they want. 🙂
How Fallen One takes off is just art for us. I told you a bullet would appear the same way.
What are the limitations of teleporting of Thanos devices? Should we assume that Fallen One took off with the same speed that he does when traveling? So everytime a character travels (or attacks) it is equal to the speed of the highest feat they ever traveled?
Let's say Fallen One did take off the same for attacking as he did for traveling and that his acceleration was the same as he did when he achieved the teleporting feat.
Distanced traveled = 1/2a*t^2 so Average speed = 1/2a*t
You know what that means? It means that if one can accelerate to (or reach) 100 times the speed of light speed in a second then their acceleration is '100c'. That means after traveling for 1 hour (3600 seconds) they would average 180,000 times the speed of light. That means in 5 hours they would average 900,000 times the speed of light. But in 1 thousandth of a second they would have averaged .05 times the speed of light. So if Thanos has millisecond reflexes and responded the first millisecond then he responded to a being averaging .05 times the speed of light. This is far faster than a human could but not greater than someone with grade A speed and reflexes (nanosecond reflexes).
I'll address the rest of your post later. But you are trolling and disguising it by posting a lot of scans weak scans. Your trolling her comes through lowballing Glads by showing his low showings and Thanos best. This is the classic highball lowball tactic. I can show Glads traveling millions times the speed of light, having nanosecond reflexes, etc. and Thanos not being able to respond to characters who can't even move that bullet speed.
