I also agree that they shouldn't have gave him the magic weakness and Supes and Glads are pretty much identicles but not THAT much to a degree of a sue. Gladiator does have other powers that Supes never shown. Hyperion is more of a copy imo.

Lol, the old Marvel site? So like I figured, nothing.

What powers has Gladiator displayed that Superman hasn't?

Shi'ar-Vo

I'm going with Gladiator for a large majority, although I like Teth as a character more. Gladiator simply has more in his arsenal than Teth does.

Teleportation...

He teleported the entire Xmen to the shiar headquaters during the phalanx abduction.

Emitted cosmic energy from his body. He has also shown the ability to not be touched by an attack if he wills himself untouchable.

Too bad he hasn't done that in a battle. Or has he?

Can you get me a scan or reference? Are you sure he didn't open a route to hyperspace? I know he can do that. Whether it's from his own powers or technology I'm not sure however.

Never seen him emit energy from any other part of his body other than his eyes. He synthesizes cosmic energy in his body to power himself however.

Lol. That was obviously just a durability feat with flowery prose but knowing you, you'll probably try and turn it into Gladiator creating a force field.

Until you've posted a scan/reference the only thing I'll give you is the hyperspace capability, assuming it's that. Superman's never opened one, with his speed, he doesn't need to. 🙂

I'm not making any excuses... I have explained to you all a thousand times... repeating myself... telling you all CONSISTENTLY (not screaming at you) what Glads has done. For a guy that drop Heralds and otoy around with High Heralds, some people just doesn't give him any play. He has never been dominated in a fight and the loses he have has been by back stabs. When he face heralds face 2 face... they get overwhelmed/over powered. His punches are insane where he has basically crushed Heralds with single hits and actually took out a trans level being with one punch to the head (a phoenix) and took his head completely off. He has thought of himself as untouchable and Vulcan blast was desintegrating while it was touching his skin.

He crushes Adam after a long fight and Adam rarely resorts to charged fist.

Its not that people ignore feats on KMC but majority choose sides going by constancy as well as feats. Does Glads often display that kind of power level or jobbs a lot?

Adam would tear him to pieces.

That's the thing... I consider Cap>Black Adam... the reason I think this is... how many times has Cap taken heat vision with no damage at all (you know where I am going with this). Cap durability feats are amazing and his punching power is crazy as well.

Adam doesn't use his magical strikes more than Cap.

What? Its a well known fact that most people consider Black Adam > Captain. The reasons for that are simple:

1) He's more ruthless
2) He hasn't diluted his powers by sharing them with others
3) All things being equal their powers are equal. You are about the only person Ive ever seen that says Cap>BA.

adam winz. but you just gotta luv carver. 🙂

I like both characters I am going to have to say its a 5/10 split Gladiator may have the speed advantage, but I think Adam has the strength advantage by a small margin.

if adam can beat superman he can beat gladiator

the problem that i have with Kallark on forum debates is that people always want to place him with that full confidence stipend which is bull, because it lets his supporters only use his high-end feats, and cite his lower showings as cis, when is ludicrous since his powers are emotionally based ....

imo BA is greater than Glads and should take the maj

are you sure? Thread specified this was full confidence gladiator. FC gladiator has bashed a planet apart in a couple hits.

yeah, but since the OP is fully aware of how gladiator's powers work, one would assume they're aware that "full confidence" means that any low showings are automatically written off as irrelevant.

Don't like it? Don't specify "Full Confidence" gladiator then. It's just like using "sun dipped superman" or "fully enraged hulk".

lol guy, i read the op..i was just stating how such a hyperbolic statement could create a spite match, its like saying a "full-potential" iceman, since we've never seen said characters at such levels of power how could you possibly debate him, because you would place him at a state that he's never shown on panel. a more plausible match would be cis off. By stating full confidence how could he possibly lose? since he would theoretically shrug off any hits Teth would throw at him....

To be honest I am not sure. I just think both characters are kind of equal. They both fight ruthlessly and they both are herald level. I just think there would be alot of stablemates. Both of them could take on Superman and beat him.

P.S. there has been alot of Gladiator hatred on here lately 😆

Honestly they really aren't.

Gladiator's high end strength level has him shattering planets, moving asteroids, and collapsing stars. BA's high end is quite a bit lower.

His high end speed feats have him moving at a hundred times the speed of light. BA is not this fast.

Standard Gladiator? sure. might be a fight. But specifying gladiator at "full confidence" here means that BA is outclassed.
