Ah...didn't know this. So Glads is perhaps a three-way combo of Danner, Supes, and Mon El?From the look of that book and the period (1930), I wonder if he inspired Robert E. Howard's character of Esui Cairn (spelling may be wrong) aka Iron Hand, an Earthman so physically gifted he can't live among common men, and is transported to another planet to live a barbarian's life. Maybe they were concurrent; Howard died in 1936.
Its Esau Cairn, perhaps Cairn borrowed more for Rice Borroughs John Carter on Mars both certainly influenced Lord Tedric by EE Doc Smith.

I never understood what he was suposse to be either, another alien with lousy taste for uniforms?
Vartox gained Hyperpowers greater than Precrisis Supes due to some sort of Space Accident (I do not have the details) this is a vague recollection from something Vartox said as to how he gained his powers. Yes his costume was shit.

Its sn interesting opinion I think the name gladiator is certainly a reference to Hugo Danner whom Supes himself was based on. The derivation goes further still 馃檪
