Superman and Gladiator team up against ultra gauntlet

LoL @ your backpedalling now 😄

Chaucer did "right" in middle english? Or "write" in middle english? Damn homonyms!

The advanced learner's is not the authoritative dictionary, the OED is.

It's the Oxford English Dictionary. I figured you'd be familiar with it?

Its usage is not fine if it is outdated -- outdated simply means that something might be still around, yet revisions have been made.

Do you know the difference between "your" and "you're?" No wonder you think that "span round" is correct, LoL

And I thought "span" had only one meaning, I see you keep tapdancing around that issue?

noun 1 the full extent of something from end to end; the amount of space covered. 2 the length of time for which something lasts. 3 a wingspan. 4 a part of a bridge between piers or supports. 5 the maximum distance between the tips of the thumb and little finger, taken as the basis of a measurement equal to 9 inches.

Notice NONE of them are related to or are a derivative of "SPIN?"

After the ball has your saliva on it I'll pass 😄

Go on and scoot with the tail between your legs and come back when you have a sound argument, son!

Not at all you know more than the Cambridge Dictionary, perhaps you should have your own. As far as one of the two most important "English" dictionaries in the world is concerned I am correct.

So your point is everyone who uses the Cambridge dictionary is wrong😄

Write to Cambridge and tell them that😄

You should write your own called, "Never knows more than the editors of the Cambridge Dictionary" 😄

Keep the faith😄

Stay Whirly 🤘

Yeah but Doomsday is also a kryptonian who has been taking in the sun for millions of years. He is also Physically stronger then Thanos and a better fighter according to my SUPER SECRET SOURCES

"Oxford English Dictionary: The definitive record of the English language." www.oed.com/

"The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is a comprehensive dictionary published by the Oxford University Press (OUP). Generally regarded as the definitive dictionary of the English language, it includes 500,000 headwords together with some 2.5 million illustrative quotations."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_English_Dictionary

"The Oxford English Dictionary is widely acknowledged to be the most authoritative and comprehensive dictionary of English in the world."

-- Oxford University Press http://www.oup.com/online/oed/

Need I say more? 😄

I know what I'm talking about; apparently you don't.

Now you say it is one of the "two most important?" I know not the answer to that, but I DO know that the OED is THE most authoritative ENGLISH dictionary in the WORLD. That means that what is in THAT dictionary supersedes ANYTHING that is in ANOTHER english dictionary.

You tried 😄

Be a good whirly and swallow your balls 😄

Not at all so your saying that anyone who uses language from the Cambridge English Dictionary is wrong😄

I'd read this its a bit better than getting out the Wiki😄

On the Oxford

http://alt-usage-english.org/excerpts/fxdictio.html

It says its to large and cannot be relied upon for precision.

Keep the faith😄

Stay Whirly🤘

Ohhhhhhhhh so you wish to toss out wikipedia (yep, it has been referenced as being inaccurate).

But what about what the Oxford University Press says about the OED? You know, Oxford University Press located on Great Clarendon in Oxford? Oxford, UK? Why don't you ask your professor of English which dictionary is more authoritative? No, ask the HEAD of the english department. Better yet, ask the head of ANY reputable institution of higher learning. To the MAN/WOMAN they will say the OED.

*chuckle*

I know when a man/youth is defeated even if you are too stubborn to admit it yourself 😄

Are you comparing Wiki to the Cambridge?

Really?

So you say the Cambridge is wrong?

The Oxford is the largest it is generally accepted that the Cambridge is more in touch with language use😄

For an adult/youth you really need to stop being as obvious in your verbal abuse😄

You can't admit I used one of the right words, in context, at least for half the two best universities in England😄

Keep trying prove the Cambridge wrong😄

Scrabble user accept both Cambridge and Oxford equally in competition matches😄

Keep the faith🙂

Stay Whirly 🤘

blah blah blah

I don't have a Professor I lecture Biochemistry😄

Nope, it looked as if you tossed out what wikidpedia said about the OED. I said fine, if you wish to discredit wikipedia's opinion based on previous concerns about wikid's accuracy, then fine.

Does Scrabble take grammar/context into consideration? No, only spelling, so of course "span" is acceptable. Spelling is not the issue here, your colloquial usage of the term is.

No need to "prove" Cambridge wrong when OED proves me right.

And again I ask -- did you not say that "span" has only one meaning? Why is it that in even your dictionary of choice it has several meanings? LoL but again, I notice when you are flat out wrong, you choose to ignore it.

Spare me the comments re: "verbal abuse." You were the first trying to crack jokes with the "blah blah blah" comment, and I responded -- as is always the case.

Do you know where Wiki gets its info?

The Oxford advanced will agree with me its just not online;D

Like the Cambridge "advanced" did

Supes Wins😄

i say they easily make it to level 7.you all know how powerful surfer and gl are, but steel with the entropy aegis is far superior to a normal superman and can fire cosmic energy, blah blah blah, they could still win but not easily.

But this is Supes from the sun😄

read this first:

Action Comics #782: Superman’s greatest ever feat of raw power. After flying through the sun for an increase in power, SUPERMAN MOVES A PLANET. Specifically, WarWorld, home of Braniac. But there’s more. Braniac has stolen the energy of Imperiex. Imperiex gained his power from the consumption of thousands of whole galaxies since the dawn of time. Hence his universal reputation as the “Devourer of Galaxies”. It is argued that Braniac wasn’t resisting Superman’s push, and that Superman ws “merely” moving a planet. This is directly contradicted by Braniac’s narrative: “Full thrust counter-measure! How is he moving my planet? The Kryptonian does not have that power!” The panel clearly shows the blue Imperiex energies firing from WarWorld’s engines. Yes, Superman was resisting the awesome Imperiex-begotten force, and pushed WarWorld through a boom tube to the beginning of time (big bang).

Note that this example confirms what we’ve suspected all along: that whatever the role that metabolized solar energy stores play in granting Superman his powers, he is obviously accessing power beyond that of the solar energies he can absorb. A few minutes in the sun is piddling compared to galaxies of power. (All of Superman’s feats listed here exceed the energy he could have gleaned from 30 years of absorbed sunlight, BTW.) Apparently the solar energy is either “hypermetabolized” (as per JLA scribe Grant Morrison), indicating energy generation via Unified Field/Big Bang, or the metabolized solar energy allows access to his deeper power, likely psionic in nature (as per John Byrne). But this time Superman is in the Sun more than a thousand times longer and has a lot more will of force (now that Lois is dead). Thus his power is completely unimaginative (more power than that of the entire universe)

Also I did some research on Thor (official from marvel themselves). Thor had one major main weakness and I will quote it: "As with most "humanized" versions of divine beings (i.e.mythological gods), Thor is not without his foibles in both physical and peronality traits. Though being a 'god', Thor can be defeated by 'mundane' means. Early on, Thor's skin has been established as, while being superhumanly resistant to injury, can be punctured or lacerated by high-powered firearms. Concussive force can injure and eventually knock him unconscious or have fatal results (such as the hammering blows of the Hulk). But Thor has great durability against many forms of electromagnetic energy."

So here is how the battles will go:

1. In a matter of seconds (either beat him to death or throw him into Sun or space)

2. Matter of seconds

3. Matter of seconds

4. Matter of seconds (beat them to death)

5. Matter of seconds (It was shown that the regular Man of Steel beat lots of blood from Shazam. Hercules is even easier than Doomsday (Either beat him or use space tactics)).

6. A matter of seconds (Hulk was knock unconscience many times from more poweful beings on the order of Abomination before. Hulk's strength didn't have enough time to increase to have a chance. Also space tactics are good with Juggernaut ).

7. A matter of minutes/several hours (this is a more challenging one. But with the power of the universe that Superman possesses and a very confident Gladiator I am sure victory will be theirs. Note that regular
Gladiator fought silver surfer to a standstill).

8. A matter of minutes ( Morg, Mongul, and Terrax all fell to a very limited (in comparison to the power of the universe) amount of power before. They are all quite killable)

9. In a matter of hours (this one is the main debatable one. Both King Thor and Odin are killable. They have died. With the powerful of a universe I'm more than sure Superman and Gladiator would win. Note: Superman force of will also affects his susceptibility to magic. With great determination he has been seen to easily shrug off many magical attacks before. They (King Thor and Odin) wouldn't have time to banish them though))

10. Thanos is not even class 100 (I looked it up in two marvel sources- one being a handbook) He even hinted that Hulk had more strength than him. He was punctured badly by Wolverine. He fought silver surfer many times to a standstill. Tyrant is unknown to me right now. So I would end this by saying that Thanos get knocked out and Tyrant falls against the power of the universe).

If Surfer and GL aren't allowed to exploit Glads and Supes weaknesses (which they can do very easily), then Glads and Supes would make it to the ninth fight. They lose there.

How would they lose in the ninth? Explain
How can both King Thor and Odin withstand a flurry of Mega Superman's and Gladiator's punches?

Remember that Superman will hit with a power not equal to anything in the universe.

I think they make it up to #9. But put up a great fight before finally falling to the sheer mystical power of both King Thor and Odin. But King Thor and Odin will definitely leave with massive injuries themselves.

Because both of them laugh off planet busting, solar system-shaking attacks. D'joo see Odin battle Set? Now, keep in mind that King THor is more powerful than Odin. Supes and Glads are screwed at 9.

7 SHOULD win, solely because of how easily they can put the 2 down. Hal and Surfer both have a type of cosmic awareness, Surfer is still debatably as fast/faster than Superman and Gladiator. Both can produce lots and lots of kryptonite/whatever radiation Glads is weak against.

God damn, do all English people argue like this? It is seriously way more entertaining than two American kids screaming "No, my dad could beat up your dad!" And when you can pretty feasibly replace either kid with the president, then America just looks like one giant pack of dumbasses. Oh, and this definitely also reminds me of the Family Guy concept of a "Drive by argument". I DISAGREE!!!
