Superman on an everyday basis doesnt bust planets.
Nor does Gladiator !!!!!!!!!
And he can punch moons in half !!!!!!!!!

This SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO True !!!!!!!! Why can't everyone see the light 🙂
They are pretty much the same person; except Glads has that porcupine-sharp mohawk. That's enough to make me choose Superman. 😄 Plus, Glads is always having to hang out in space leading the way for the Shi'ar; Supes can get some home cooking from Mother Kent, and the potential from the various women in his life is enticing. 😉
gladiaotr for me...why? nobody, save for silver surfer(or anyone with cosmic awareness) knows what form of radiation he's vulnerable to, while bad guys can practically look up kryptonite in the dictionary😄 also there is somethin really fancy about being able to breathe in space and travel at warp speeds. so i wouldnt wanna look like him but i would definatley perfer his abilites. and another misconception about him is ppl think that when his confindence is shaken his power disappears--wrong! thats not the case. he's still as strong and durable but that one momoent leaves him open to a powerful enuff attack.
also, another reason i think he's better is becasue he's the idea of a pre-crsis superman. certain events may be retconned but the core of his charctaer is basically the same. and one more thing they have said it specifiaclly that his lifting power his based on psionics where he wraps a field around objects he touches so they dont collapse under thier own weight[that pretty adds up to superboy's tactile telekinesis] meaning he can lift anything he touches. no matter how big

" nobody, save for silver surfer(or anyone with cosmic awareness) knows what form of radiation he's vulnerable to,"
And the Hulk .... Oh cum on, u knew it was coming 😮
All Star and Byrne also suggested that Supes had this power. 🙂

Public icon? In the real world or in the their universe?
In their universe, Supes is known on Earth, Apokolips, New Genesis, and other parts of the universe.
Gladiator is known throughout a galaxy wide empire, one of the largest empire in MU. The Kree and Skrull empire - but comparable to the Shi Ar - also know Gladiator.
Lot's more people know Gladiator than Supes.
Anyways, Gladiator for me. Just overcome the confidence weakness and I can go stomping on planets and slugging it out with Supreme. Pay visit to Thor and kick his ass a few times - this time make sure he doesn't get any outside help. Drop by to kick Bruce Banner in the balls. Find Wonderman to humilate his ass some more. And if I run into Hyperion, break his neck a second time.

So by your own words, you are comparing a galaxy wide empire compared to parts of the universe (a bit bigger than a galaxy or 2) different dimensions, and of course earth.
In the real world. Say you like Gladiator and people will ask "Russell Crowe?"
I'd pick superman everytime.

"When did Thor get outside help"
When Thor Girl decided to also attack him iirc.
But that Glads was from the future, it wasent "ours". Both him and Thor got a win each.
In the real world obviously Superman its more known. He is the comic superhero character with the higest public recgonization.
Just not THE highest recgonized character in the world.

Parts of the universe could also be Darkseid's basement. Superman is mostly Earthly known. A few planets and all constitutes parts of the universe which I posted earlier.
Originally posted by JuntaiGive Gladiator his own title (or three) and in a couple of years you'd see that he can pull off as many (and any) high end feat that Supes does. i understand wha you're saying, but because Glads isn't a character that pops up very often we have to use what we can when it comes to feats.

Originally posted by Lucid LuiI agree, he may have the feats then, but now, he's got like 3 worth a damn, all from various decades. The rest of the time he gets his ass beat. Superman will probably have 3 or more this month alone..he's probably had a dozen or more since the Crisis countdown started.
