Thunderbird didn't beat Galactus, he merely drove him off. 616 Galactus has been driven off with less force than that, such as when Mr. Fantastic used the Thing like a cannonball to knock him over when he was weak and hungry.
Galactus also has additional exceptions placed upon him due to the Abraxas arc, where it was shown that 616 Galactus was "Galactus Prime" so to speak, which wasn't the case here.
I stand by my statement - if a character is shown exactly the same as their 616 counterpart, with no alterations in behavior, clothing, or shown powers, then for all intensive purposes they have the same powers as their 616 counterpart. If you can prove to me that this Gladiator was somehow different than his 616 counterpart, by all means do so and I will gladly debate it with you.
