I know you all going to say that he is a supermana clone but from what was done of gladiator and what was said about gladiator by marvel. Gladiator>>superman. Thats my opinion I know a lot of people is going to say something about it. Marvel themselves did state that they wrote gladiator to be a slight weaker version of precrisis superman and by his feats it is believable. Smashing a planet with his fist. Going 100 times the speed of light. Moving planets by himself. Surviving a blast that was stated to blow up a solar system and flew right out of it without any problem, didnt even notice the blast. Picked up the baxter building with one hand with ease, the baxter building weighs thousands of tons, its the biggest building in the city. Moved a meteor that was stated to be the size of two planets. Moved a space ship that was stated to be the size of texas. Walked through a 8 foot steel titanium door with ease. Flown through stars without any affect and it is a difference when superman does it because the star that he flies through gives him power, so he cant be hurt by it but a star dont give gladiator powers and he flown through it without any affect. Nova himself has fought and seen almost every villian and hero and know what they are capable of but he said that gladiator is one of the most powerful beings in the universe. I can keep going.Kallark takes this battle.
Pre-crisis? shocklaugh Just stop right there. You cannot even begin to compare anyone in marvel under skyfather to PC Supes.
Planet-smashing? Supes has done it and frankly, nothing Glads has done puts him on Superman's level or his peers.
Solar-system destroying blast? Superman withstood a 50 supernova blast, and BA has fought people who have insane durability. CM took a tesseract bomb, a weapon that disrupts space-time and warps an area around it. BA and CM are considered roughly equal in their powers.
Baxter building? Not a great feat if you're going up against people on Superman's level.
Meteor? No comment, haven't seen it.
You're talking strength feats, but the problem is, Gladiator's powers are confidence based, and 2nd, he's never faced someone like BA. He's also not willing to go the extra mile that BA will. BA has combat feats like beating the JSA, CM, Supes, etc. Not to mention the magic lightning, greater strength and general ruthlessness.
You can't claim Glads has the stomach to fight like this........ ❌
Edit: Baxter building? Try an aircraft carrier, flung very very far.
