I strongly disagree with you, good sir. I'm using supes as a barometer as how many wins Glads would take. IMO DS should be (as great as everyone says he is) and then gets beat by Supes on occasion. Considering everything everyone says DS, he really shouldn't be owned by Supes but he does.
Anyway, Supes and Glads are nearly Identical. I would say Durability and speed (has been clocked on panel faster than supes but supes has done things that seem similar but has no indication to how fast he actually was) But i'll be generous and say they are arguable comparable because neither one will win against each other due strictly to speed. Anyway lets have fun and say they are pretty much the same. Glads strength is a couple of notches higher than supes. Granted that Supes displays his range of strength more due to being the poster boy of DC, it may seem that Supes is stronger. Gladiator not nearly as many showings as supes but what he has accomplished with his powers is imo greater than anything Supes has ever done bar special amps and what not (but in some cases even then).
Glads also tends to be more serious and doesn't mind enforcing Shair Law with extreme prejudice when necessary. His fighting skills are also impressive due to his knowledge of combat throughout all of shiar space and that is a very large span of space.
I respect DS he should be powerful but there are times when writers make him look like a ***** as he is suppose to be a peer of supes and not a obviously clear superior.
IMO if Glads ever fought Supes it would be 6/10 in favor of glads and nothing less. They are peers but like i said a few notches higher in speed and Strength.
IMO I would say Glads would win a slight majority over DS aswell as Supes.
Anyone who has read my stuff knows that I am not incredible biased and I have always supported Glads over Supes (assumeing there are no 3rd parties) Frankly I am tired of this but this thread is against Supes Classic Villians and would find it interesting.
