If Diana has the gauntlets, then Diana and Superman (remember, though, that even beneficial magic can screw with Clark's powers, and if Diana shared the gauntlet(s), then it might only magnify his *mortal* strength... not a definite, but a distinct possibility...). However, the gauntlet proviso is a bit of a presumption; saying she can use them, you may as well say Thor can use his belt. Assuming only standard equipment, it is a nigh draw of a fight: Superman would naturally try to avoid Thor's hammer/lightening as much as possible, and focus on Gladiator, while Diana runs interference with Thor. Without getting into exact combat odds/divisions (my head hurts and I am tired), I would say Diana falls first, followed by Gladiator (who was taken down by Diana's lasso or Tiara before she fell unconscious or died), and Thor falling to Superman as Supes himself falls to one last blow from Mjolner in the struggle. If anyone survives to tell the tail, albeit in a very ****ed up state, it will be Gladiator (as long as his self confidence held out, which is not a definite...) as he doesn't have Clark's vulnerability to magical attacks, and therefore is the most "survivable" of this *specific* combat encounter...

I say it wouldn't hit. Superman can become Intangible, and he is fast. Same goes for WW

Becoming intangible seems like a fairly unlikely way of dodging an energy attack infused with Thor's life force. Considering it'd be similar to the magic in mjolnir, which hit invisible guys, and how Thor hit that energy-based Dark God with it.

I have to agree: Superman's "intangible" defense is marginal, at best, in this regard... (which is why Diana is running interference with Thor, as she can actually stand against that sort of attack longer/better than Clark can, hopefully buying time for him to stun/waylay Gladiator... *hopefully*)

Diana certainly can block such an attack, but redirecting the attack back at Thor (or another target, like Gladiator) would be challenging, even though it is one of her well known and effective tactics, as an attack of such power is not easy to (re)direct, even for Diana...
But I concur: Diana can resist the GB, as she has repelled attacks of that magnitude several times in the past... though if she's doing that, she's not in a position to be doing much else, except press back agains the attacker...

Oh, definitely -- Thor could conceivably match general air speeds with them, but has nowhere near any of the other three's maneuvering when in the air (though he *can* hover in place, and then change direction -- seen him do that on a number of occasions).
