technically it WAS a future gladiator. he was able to keep up with the ff's ship (which shielded them -- ff, thor and ironman -- from the dialtion effects). the battle between thor and glads is a bit confusing. i don't think glads needed to use superspeed DURING the battle. i think he was shielded from the effects as well, like thor and the others were, due to reed's tech. maybe. at least i think that's how it happened. not sure it was ever made really clear, or i simply am misremembering. i could look it up i suppose were i not so lazy. 😬 glads DID enter some hyperspeed state to stay with them and catch them though.
the speed feat is still impressive as hell. his blitz against the west coast avengers (where he crushed wonderman) was impressive as well, and he's blitzed thor. bottom line is he's not as fast as zoom though. i don't really know too much about zoom, but from all accounts he should win this even using the hyperspeed feat as canon -- which most glad-lovers do . . .
