I don't know...All I recall is Cassandra Nova doing it, and then Rachel reading his mind while distracted and after just waking up...

He was kept under mental control by a WarSkrull in Uncanny X-Men #272 and #273 until the X-Men set him free.

If Gladiator has been shown to be capable of shattering planets with a punch or three (pretty much a Silver Age Superman level feat) but then he seems about equal with the Hulk or Hyperion in a fight, I'd say that's right up there with any fight where the characters get their power levels fudged by the writer to make it an interesting fight.
Just because you destroy a planet that doesn't mean you are going to wreck someone who hasn't on panel. feats are good and all, but they don't determine these fights by themselves alone.

I disagree. WW is stronger than MM imo. He may be able to amp his strength up to Supe levels but he can't sustain it. Base WW is stronger than base MM and I believe current Wondy writers feel the same way.

Add in the fact that she is faster, is a much, much better fighter, isresistant to TP, knows MM very well and has the bracers to protect her and you have Diana taking a slim majority.

Gladiator can take either person on Team 2 for a solid majority. Also, Diana can use her lasso and bracers to protect him from Team 2's more exotic powers.

Team 1 takes this. Gladiator is the toughest person on the field. No one on team 2 is taking him down physically. WW can at least stalemate either guy on Team 2, which is all she needs to do. Also, WW adds more defense to protect Team 1 from Team 2's more effective, non-physical assaults. That adds to Team 1's already impressive durability.

It won't be easy, but they can do it.

WW is not stronger than MM. There is nothing that suggests that at all.

Their speed relates and no one is besting the other due to an advantage by their speed.

Sentry can take down Glads physically. The guy took on WW Hulk who is physically one of the baddest mofos out there. ya dig.

Yeah if this is everybody at their absolute best, it comes down to Gladiator versus Sentry and, while I don't know all of Sentry's feats, I know he's supposed to be able to do anything. Yeah I'm sure that's hyperbole but still. As it is with the stipulation that Gladiator has full confidence, I just don't see Team One losing.

Edit: I also find is funny that the OP has to throw in a stipulation to get people to argue the characters at their best and many still won't do it.

Sentry though has taken on the same character as Gladiator in a stronger form and done much better than Gladiator.

I'll rememeber that the next time you ask when has Wonder Woman destroyed a planet on panel and you try and use that to demean her.

Sentry raped terrax. Hulk beat Glads. Feats don't determine everything.

Whether she has or not is inconseqential. She isn't as strong as these guys.

And yet she's faced beings who have wrecked planetary bodies. Get lost.

And gotten her ass handed to her by someone with the exact same powerset as Glads. Hm.

Supergirl and Powergirl have the same power set as Superman as well. And diana has embarrassed both of them.

Any more reports or trouble by those I've spoken with the past few days and there will be temp bans. Those of you who have been antagonizing will get warned at the very least. For some of you, any more warnings may mean a perm ban.

I have 6-8 names that have either been causing problems or exasperating problems the past few days. This ends today one way or another. You all can choose to stop the nonsense or I can end this idiocy with bans.

Any questions or objections can be taken to a PM.

I understand what you're saying but I'm going with what the characters are shown to be at their best. We all know power levels are fudged and that characters job.

Now I am not personally familiar with the Gladiator/ Hulk fight but I suspect it was when the Hulk was at a power level that was far beyond anything he had ever been shown to be before, planet busting level. That's okay one-off though it may be compared to Gladiator but even then, I have to suspect the writer utterly ignored Gladiator's established speed for there to be such a result. If you're going to invoke that, you should also invoke the Hulk being able to go toe-to-toe with Sentry.

At any rate, my main point is that at their best, this comes down to Gladiator versus Sentry.
