[B]With CIS on Super Skrull's track record is about as solid as the Rhino's. CIS would also mean that Gladiator would fly in as fast as he could and take the slowest out first, this is what he did to Wonder Man in Operation Galactic Storm. Gladiator unlike Superman does blitzkrieg his opponents on a regular basis.

His appearances as you and I know are so few and far between that he is rarely written to use his entire gauntlet of powers. This however does not mean that he can not use them. Would you say that his hearing is any less if the writers did not write him using his ears to detect an opponent? We would just assume that his hearing worked as a normal humans does, am I right?

Joe Fixit who was taken down by Ms. Marvel recently, overcame the Super Skrull. This is not to give Gladiator an auto win, but the Fantastic Four who have easily in the past defeated Klrt were mauled by Kallark. The Super Skrull is no Reed Richards, which is the only reason that Gladiator was defeated by the FF in the first place. I feel that Gladiator has everything on this duo, especially tactics, which is why I favor him over them.

Yeah, SS of the last 5 years fights alot better and has maybe been upgraded powers wise too. The efefctive superskrull is efefctively the current version.
So even though he has become more effective in battle, what makes you believe that he would be able to defeat Kallark? I mean effective is one thing, but Gladiator isn't just your run of the mill Super Guy, he's more powerful than Klrt in nearly every way.
Originally posted by StoicContrary to popular opinion, Fixit was no pushover and Klrt was a FF recurring villain, so of course they beat him all the time. They pawn doom every other week too, but that doesn't lower his tier. Anyways, Klrt has much better showings against the FF and others and has improved a lot since Annihilation. He is not fighting alone here either.

Originally posted by StoicSS cant take Kallark down by himself for a majority, but he has Ronan here too.

Ronan is well known to the Praetor, and he has questionable durability. Gladiator does not always blitz, but if he were fighting a two on one battle do you believe that he would not employ this tactic, on a slower team?

And both of these guys know Gladiator. You don't think the first thing they'll do is to put up defenses against him? Both Ronan and Super Skrull put up force fields. While Gladiator's tactic is to blitz these two, there's would be to bring down Kallark's confidence and taking him out through that. So Kallark is fast but he's going to have to get through two guys, each with force fields, to take them out. Good luck to him because Super Skrull can crush Gladiator's brain without having to leave his own force field. He's got Ronan coming at him as well so how good's his concentration when he's got a force bubble inside his head? The guy can take Ronan's shots and keep going but how well does he fare then when Super Skrull decides to come rocketing at him with shields up as a battling ram? Team would take this. Gladiator's great but he isn't multitasking against this two to win anything.

In order for Klrt to place anything anywhere, he would need to know where Gladiator was, and as soon as the battle began far before Ronan reacted, Gladiator would have him miles away KO'd from multiple hits to the face, and be back seconds later to do the same to an unaware Klrt. Multitasking is exactly what he would be doing against these two.

Because that's exactly what he did against Nova, Thor, Wonder Man, Black Bolt, Black Cloak, or Dark Hawk right? Drag them a miles away or beat them way before they could react? As soon as the fight begins, shields are up. If Gladiator was fighting at ridiculously stupid levels than he could take them out. He doesn't fight like that at all. In fact, that's he'd take them both on; it's his style. Dragging one opponent away and beating them then finishing off the other in one on one combat is just not him. And that's his down fall here. Their combined effort will overwhelm him and give them the opponent they need to beat him.
