first, the battle was a complete stalemate. second, the whole thing happened out of continuity. cube showed you the scan where ss says he could waste glads anytime, and probably effortlessly. glads would KNOW ss's capailities, his confidence would plummet and ss would end it with a mercy killing. amazes me so many could argue glads can beat ss but supes loses everytime.
warlock would be interesting. he's so hard to figure. he often comes across as more powerful than he is. unike cube, i'd say ss more often than not - warlock has never demonstrated the breadth of power that ss has, OR the sheer destructive force. his power isn't 'magical' in the traditional sense, but 'spiritual'. and most of that stems from his relationship with the gem. ss beats him imho.
darkseid, darkseid . . . hmmm . . . based on his more recent showings hard to bet against ss. but darkseid is a crafty bastard and the o-fx can do a LOT of damage and be used to a variety of fx. i'll call this one 50/50 mainly because i've always REALLY liked darkseid. ss owns the rest quite easily - including quasar.
