and no im not a superman fanboy, i dont like squeaky clean characters.
Gladiator can fly well over light speed in space. He doesn't just fly at super speed; he reacts at super speed.
Gladiator was just playing with Cannonball. Cannonball is a joke to Gladiator.
The Hulk/Gladiator fight was right after Superman beat Hulk in Marvel vs. DC. Anybody with common sense knows that Marvel wrote Gladiator to slug it out and lose to Hulk, so Marvel could stop crying themselves to sleep and feel better about themselves.
I don't know much about the Blackbolt/Gladiator fight, so I won't comment.
Batman, Doom, and Reed are walking plot devices and can do anything they want with prep. In a similar manner, Gladiator is a walking plot device to his own detriment. He can be used to push a character's credibility the same way wrestlers do in the WWE. A perfect example of this is the Hulk/Gladiator fight. Marvel was trying to make a point by having Hulk beat the copycat rip off of DC's main guy.
I have no doubt that Gladiator will never beat Superman in a comic. If they ever met, Superman would probably beat him very quickly and easily in a few panels. Then claim Gladiator was his toughest battle. That would be a good case of PIS(plot induced stupidity) for you.
Does Superman speed blitz 100% of the time in comics? No way. However, he will be in this fight, because PIS is off in KMC threads. Since PIS is off, Gladiator beats this duo by himself.
