Superman is the real deal, with a far better record and more feats.
He's smash Gladiator.
It's not that Gladiator doesn't have awesome high end feats. It's the fact that, Superman, issue to issue, far exceeds Gladiator.. issue to issue. It is also assumed that the characters fight at their optimum levels of ability - not explicitly weakened or unusually powered up for those who have variable power levels. That's from the forum rules. People show the same feats of Gladiator over and over, like... one from the 70s... one from the early 80s...Most of the Superman feats shown are current, and he does them likewise over and over and over again, while Gladiator continues to get beat up all the time. One is left to assume, those are Gladiator's rediclous "Sun Dip" one shot wonder feats. For intensive purposes on the forum, going by those rules... Superman far outranks Gladiator in most every category, even if not for the sheer volume of feats he has across having so many monthly appearances than anything else.

Show me a scan with a higher strength feat.And show me a scan of a higher speed feat with the exception of the one where Reed says "He's coming towards us at 100x the speed of light!!!" Because if that's his only speed scan, it's a little dubious.
Still though Superman would crush Gladiator. Glads win-loss record isn't that impressive.

Busting a planet in 3 shots- in continuity.

It isent no. Its a statement that wasent contradicted in the said story after.
Wasent retconned in later stories either to the best of my aknowlege. That Cannonball bit Snoop posted its a nice example tho.
"Still though Superman would crush Gladiator. Glads win-loss record isn't that impressive."
Without even having its own comic its obvious he will never have. Batman also has a better track record if you see what i mean.
I am talking track records not quality on opponents. Batman also uses quite the plot devices and Glads doesnt.
And second while not being a fav of mine, his loss record its quite exageratted in my opinion. Pll like to come up with the Colossus thing and Cannonball to translate his big loses.
When he didnt in both examples. Against Gambit otoh it sure was. But thats something every character has.
