Yup.

For most intents and purposes, Dumb Drax is unstoppable with the Gem. Thor during Blood and Thunder was just Thor in a constantly all out state. His one of the few beings who can beat Drax straight up.
Because having the Gem doesn't by default make you unbeatable. Drax was tapping into subconsciously. If given the chance, at some point he'd have reached a state that would allow him to match Thor. It just wouldn't have happened any time soon.
Thor has shown the ability to match beings despite ever increasing strength. Heck, Ulik in his first appearance IIRC was getting stronger the longer he fought. His fallen so far.
The power gem gives one access to all the power that is, was, or ever will be in existence right? So in theory that makes his strength potentially greater than Superman, Wonder Woman, Darkseid, Mongul, Doomsday and everyone else in the universe combined. People are just assuming that Drax wouldn't be able to tap it's full potential. Logic would dictate that the longer the battle rages then the more powerful Drax would become. Superman may be able to scan him with his X-Ray vision and see that Drax has a gem in his stomach, but he isn't familiar with the infinite gems, for all he know Drax may just be a creature that likes to "pretty rocks". The only real chance Superman would have would be to hit Drax with all of his power behind the first punch and Superman would never do that until he was positive that doing so wouldn't kill his opponent. His refusal to do what is absolutely necessary would be his downfall.

Not as much as Thor pulling a big fish that wasn't even half as big as the Earth. Or Superman turning wheels of Mageddon. What ever that means. People use feats knowing none of them matter in a fight.
Really? Pulling the earth? Thats what your using?Thats among the most wanked and unquantifiable feats out there.

The Midgard Serpent isn't a fish.

Stalemate 5/10. Just as likely that Drax endlessly matches/surpasses Superman as it is that Superman gets a lucky shot to dislodge the Gem like Thor and Gamora did. And while they are still physical peers even bereft of the Gem, Superman is just more cunning.
It kind of defeats the entire purpose of the thread.

Better question, why would Superman even try, it's not like he knows what the gem does and if this is Drax from when the gem was in his stomach. Superman won't even know that Drax has it.

Ahem. What's stopping him from scanning his opponent? Or possibly sensing the gem? He's got various kinds of sensory perception abilities.Correct me if I'm wrong, but Professor isn't one of the really good versions, is it?
