Which matters, why?What was evidently shown was that Superman is more intelligent, and uses this to accomplish vastly more impressive feats without even using strength.
What is so "vastly impressive" about vibrating at a specific frequency?
Again: If I give you a remote control with a single button that will implode the sun and destroy our solar system, and you press the button, should I be impressed that you were capable of pressing a button?

Lulz. That point isn't even close to being correlated.

Well thats better explained.Got the on panel proof of their planet crushing force, not just the comic saying that because how often are they right? Not doubting Gladiator can do it but its a point.
It wasn't much more than narrative hyperbole, to be honest, but you don't write flowery narration about "planet crushing force" if you're writing a character you only believe to be able to lift 100 tons.
The two issues were written by the same writer, but one was written while he was on a well-known crusade to force a handbook ranking system into the comics and bring the MU down to a more "realistic" level, and the other happened years later when he had given up on that fight and was writing a book full of over-the-top cosmic power levels.
Originally posted by KK the GreatI find using intelligence and super speed to match a specific frequency, then reverse it, a vastly more impressive use of powers then punching something.

I find removing a planet from this dimension a vastly more impressive feat that punching one.
No, but if you handed me a bunch of supplies and I designed, built and programmed a doomsday device, you should be more impressed than if I kicked something and made it crumble.
Not that this holds any relevancy to the discussion at hand anyways. This isn't Superman vs. Gladiator...

To be honest Gladiator are two very inconsistent flying bricks. In some issues you have Thor proving to be his physically superior and others he knocks him about.
With Gladiator you have him destroying punches with his fists then in others you have him punching Colossus and still standing.
The best thing to do with these two is take whatever they do with a grain of salt or whatever the term is. Just level out their averages.
But seeing how Gladiator has proven to be a planet punching character more than he hasn't I would say thats his average.
Hyperion? Hes all over the place and I would place him slightly lower than Thor.
Just IMO know. 🙂
But anyway in this fight Gladiator wins if he takes no BS.

Both cases have a person doing something which is simple for him to do and isn't impressive by itself, but which has large-scale implications beyond the action performed by the person in question.
The difference is that one is using powers to achieve said feat, while the other is using technology.
Big difference.
Even trying to find a connection between the two is asinine.

The Colossus fight was very early in Gladiator's career. Gladiator became the galaxy-spanning, planet-smashing powerhouse of today with FF #249.

That doesn't make the slightest bit of difference.
Yes it does. The only display of power by the person pressing the button is the action of pressing the button, where as vibrating at the right frequency requires superhuman speed and the ability to figure out the right frequency.
But of course you already knew that.
Them posting evidence got them no further than what I've already done. You sitting there dumbstruck making excuses. And lying.

Why even humor you after that?
Thor has NEVER proved physically stronger than Gladiator.
Never.

Never.
You have made me laugh I will admit. Aways so bitchy on the Internet?
I suggest therapy. Or at least a hug from your mother.,
Thats right I stooped so low I went to the mother. Kill me now.
Until at least Jon or KK come back I am done for now.
Enjoy your pit of despair.

But what was the point of posting the scan when the subject was physical prowess?
