I think it's pretty well known around here that I hate Gladiator, but I would love to see someone prove to me that BRB is stronger than Gladiator. He's clearly not faster. Durability could be a toss up, I suppose, depending on what showings you're looking at. Comparing the two by their fights with Thor, Gladiator looks a LOT better. BRB beat Thor thanks to the 60 second curse (as has Gladiator). He also beat a Thor without his hammer in an environment that favored him (and I could be mistaken, but I believe much of his power was actually IN HIS HAMMER at that time, although it's been awhile since I've read those old Thor comics, so admittedly I could be mistaken). Either way, it's not a big deal. Thor fought BRB and the Silver Surfer (granted Thor was blood lusted and SS was holding back), but Thor one-shotted BRB AFTER BRB hit him with a glorified sucker punch (well, hammer blow). BRB is a watered down Thor IMO (basically Thor without the insane trans level feats). 90% of his really high showings are from 2 series of books (Stormbreaker and Godhunter) and even those are overblown by his fans who constantly make the feats out to be more than they are. And Thor has trouble with a Gladiator who barely ever uses his speed against him. BRB is dead here.
Even if we suppose Beta Ray Bill has equal or better durability, Glads speed is too much for old horse face.
