Death's Head II runs the gauntlet

How far does he get?

1.Daredevil
2.Wolverine
3.Spider-Man
4.Omega Red
5.Venom(Brock)
6.Thing
7.Colossus
8.Gladiator/No Speed blitz

Makes it to 8. He manhandled Thing in their encounter, overpowering him and making him bleed before throwing him off a bridge. Colossus would be roughly the same, and Minion has better healing and more offensive output that him, even if the Russian is slightly stronger.

Wolverine would stab him and stuff, but wouldn't be able to inflict enough punishment to put him down due to his ridiculous healing feats. And he has spread-fire large enough to hit Spidey.

Gladiator handles him rather easily though. Death's Head II is the absolute class of his tier (High Meta), and could tussle with a few low heralds, but wouldn't take any of them out.

I have a book where Colossus stood toe to toe with Gladiator for a little bit until a building fell on both of them. Now if Colossus could go toe to toe with Gladiator at all would that give Minion some what of a chance against Gladiator?

Sure

Fair enough, but was is CIS on Gladiator's part or was it a legit feat? Because the vast (vast) majority of Colossus's showings have him around the same level as Thing.

Minion has fought and survived against people at high levels too. One (the Lotus Blossom guy, his name escapes me) was purportedly as powerful as Surfer. But that doesn't mean DHII is that level.

So my assessment stands. Colossus fights well but loses, then Glads stomps him or beats him in a decent fight, depending on his mood that day.

Coming right up pal, let me scroll threw my library. May I add that is one of the best X-men issues I have ever read.

Yes that's the one I have with Xavier on the front

Gladiator also lost a battle with Thor and not Odinson either I believe it was Eric Masterson and he seemed not sure of himself.

Thanks

no problem. 😎

Um. Glads just stood there unfazed when Colossus bashed him with a giant pillar. The only thing that harmed even his costume was the building, not Colossus himself.

So yeah, my opinion stands in full. Cool fight and all, but that's about how I'd expect Colossus to fare against Glads.

Looked like a pretty even fight for awhile

Looked like yet another contradiction of Glad's history to me... in his next appearance, he one-shotted Thing, and took Torch's nova blast without any scratches...

I think Collossus would hang with glads for a while but I dont see him having a chance of winning Collossus also slug it out with juggs and held his own but I dont think he had a chance of winning that either.

I don't know who would win between Gladiator & Death's Head but it would be a hell of a fight

This is the issue, I highly recommend it.

Gladiator would whup Death's Head II. If there was a chance of him winning, I'd be all over it. But there isn't.

i think venom would pose something of a problem, actually. that would be a very cool fight. i think dhii takes him for a majority, but i think it would be a great battle. colossus wouldn't outclass him much in strength and the healing would be all dhii's. offensively it MIGHT be a bit of an issue to ko colossus, but with enough pounding i think he would beat colossus for the majority as well.

glads rips him a new one every time. he's too big a jump. someone like ironman would be a very interesting fight.
