How about we do it now. My one scan that you'll never beat.

Gladiator not only survives a blast capable of destroying half of the solar system without a scratch, he PHYSICALLY CONTAINS THE BLAST SO TIGHT THAT HE CREATES A STAR. Like I said, you will not find anything to beat this.

No need for a battlezone.

A far more impressive feat of durability:

Thor without a doubt has more impressive feats of strength but if you want something Star related, here you go:

It was clear that Heimdall was intended to have a small portion of Odin's power. Hence the inclusion of the word "only". Besides, Heimdall was empowered by a noticeably weakened Odin.

Without the Odin Power, Odin would be powerless similar to how Gladiator would be powerless without the energy that empowers him. Stupid argument is stupid.

"Only" was to mean he didn't have all of it. Again it could have been 1/3, 1/4, 4/7, etc. I disagree with the Odin Power logic. The power was named after Odin since he was he who acquired it from his brothers. He wasn't born with it. Without it he still can live as a normal Asgardian hybrid. And Odin did have powers and strength before the Odin power. Thus he wouldn't be powerless without it.


Masterson claimed he was sore, which is understandable after getting struck in quick concession by an enraged peer trying to kill you. There wasn't any indication that he was about to black out however.

Be more specific. If Gladiator kept pounding away, it's entirely possible that he could have knocked Eric out. It's also entirely possible that if Masterson pounded on Gladiator with a few hammer strikes, he'd beat him to death.

I agree. I'm just noting differences in the heimdall vs. Gladiator fight.


So who gets to decide what's an average Gladiator? You? Gladiator was described as possessing near infinite strength or whatever bullshit you get hard over in his battle with Masterson. Under three different pens, it was made clear that Thor is at bare minimum a peer of Gladiator's strength wise.
Gladiator's strength is dependent upon his confidence. Thus an average Gladiator would mean one with average confidence. If that is the case then Odin wins hands down. But using a very high confidence Glads is a different story. Glads would now have the strength and speed edge on his side. And everyone here (including you) are using Odin's high feats to determine that he would be stronger than Glads. Or the bias fact that since he is a skyfather then he SHOULD be stronger by definition.


I've already explained how the confidence factor works. Just because he has a bigger bulge on a certain day doesn't mean he gets more powerful. He always operates at optimal efficiency, but gets weaker the less confident he gets.
I agree. That is why I'm only arguing for a full confidence (or at least very high) Glads.


😬

Clearly when a character no sells punches in comic, most of the time writers aren't trying to illustrate a noticeable strength edge.

That's not an argument. Heimdall was noticeably less more powerful than Odin. Hence whatever he does, Odin can accomplish far more easily.


But Odin never shown to be as physically strong as Glads. Even Heimdall hasn't shown it. I disagree with selling punches logic. The evidence is in the effect and not in the talking. We have hyperbole all over the place. I'm more of a what is shown type of guy and less of what a writer is trying to portray type of guy. Otherwise, many feats have to be unusable since writers didn't know how much it took to do a feat and had characters doing stuff outside of their intended bounds.


Like what? Busting a planet of unknown size? I honestly wouldn't be surprised with you.

And if that is the case, here are some of Thor's more notable feats:

Note: I said quantifiable feats. I have to disagree that Thor had the gravity of a neutron star since the Earth underneath him didn't break unto him. If we accept the logic though that would mean that Planets have super human durability that are able to withstand the force of a neutron star pulling on them without breaking to pieces. And that would mean Glads feat is far more greater. In general, I don't accept what is said but rather what is shown.


You pull shit out of your ass constantly.

So are you going to post some evidence or concede? If not, let's agree to a battle zone at the end of the month.

I never do such a thing. I may use math to back up what I say or even other comic evidence but never do I pull made up stuff out of my arse. You can name almost anything, I will either state a comic feat which holds the evidence to what I said or show you the math to what I said.

I don't care about the durability of the scan. Did you not read my post or the scan. Gladiator CONTAINED the blast and he CONTAINED it to the point that it created another star. Thor has no physical strength feats to match that.

and to both i say..... wut? carver, where exactly do you see it stated that he PHYSICALLY created a star.....? and rage--i don't see those blasts as being>solar system destroying power....

but don't let me interrupt. 😄

Just like I thought...

Gladiator did not contain the power of a star. He contained the power of a large blast, off-panel, using means which were never identified in the story.

Gladiator powers are heat vision, ice breath, xray vision, and super strength/super speed.

He contained the blast to the point that it "created a star".

and? where does it say he used, well, any of those powers, to create a star again? mjollnir contained a celestial blast that ALSO ended up becoming a star. galactus died and created a star. how exactly did he use PHYSICAL STRENGTH to make a star? how do you even jump to such an illogical conclusion?

The whole point is so ambiguous. We don't even know if Gladiator contained the blast, much less how he contained it.

Name one physical unamped feat that Odin has that puts him over Gladiator.

So what you're asking for is a strength feat from Odin without the Odin-Power.

He is hit head on by the blast... the blast is contained as soon as he is hit by it. Then after containing it, he fly out of the explosion at 100 times the speed of light. Prett much makes sense to me since we know that it wasn't his heat vision or ice breath that did it. Glads showed no other type of powers during that run except his usual.

If there is a containment power that Glads has or some type of forcefield, please post the scans.

and if you've ever seen him grab and hold energy, feel free to show it.

btw, nice job neglecting to say he didn't ACTUALLY create a star. it was an explosion that appeared like a nova (hence the star comparison) that was somehow contained and subsided as glads approached earth. how he contained it? i have a thought on that. and in that run he DID show psionic abilities that i've never seen him show again--he lifted the baxter building and it didn't crumble under its own weight which was clearly impossible. reed stated that in that arc he was using telekinesis, pyrokinesis as well as levitation to perform his feats. you don't hear that anymore for whatever reason, so i'd say his powers changed over time, but containing that energy explosion as he did seems like a psionic feat to me. to say it was physical makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. and since his powers were revealed to ultimately be psionic in nature in that arc, i feel pretty safe in saying that was a psionic, not physical feat. and since you have no proof it was physical, wellll...... you get the picture. again.

Okay, if you want to be dense about it, then I’ll simply point out that Odin was noticeably weakened when he empowered Heimdall.

The Odin Power is Odin, his life essence:

It empowers him and is the life blood of all of Asgard. As it is now, without the Odin Power, Odin is no more:

And as long as it exists, Odin cannot truly perish:

There’s a reason why he absorbed power from the land to combat Seth after transferring his reserves into Thor. Do you think I'm making this shit up or something?

Simonson’s retcon doesn’t fit perfectly with continuity but I don’t think it was ever supposed to. Whatever force sustained them before the Odin Power was either folded into it or replaced by it if you want it to mesh with continuity as a whole.

If you agree, then why do you think Gladiator is magically underperforming in his battles with Thor? The Gladiator that battled Masterson and what not was Gladiator at his best. He only goes downhill from there when his confidence becomes an issue.

facepalm

Yes, but it is not an ever increasing level of strength like the Hulk’s. His levels only go downward.

Could you please point me to an appearances of this supposed “full confident” Gladiator and we can compare him to Odin.

I’m not using Odin’s best, not by any stretch of imagination.

It is however ironic that you whine about using Odin’s best after reading your post.

You good sir are an idiot. There’s quite honestly no other conclusion I can come to after having debated with you. This isn’t me being intentionally mean or anything of the sort. This is an actual observation.

Fine then, point me to this apparently quantifiable feat.

😐 You’re arguing against the feat because the ground didn’t cave in? That’s not a defense.

I don’t give a shit what logic you have to accept to justify feats in your head. That particular planet was superhumanly durablese. Shut up now.

Without using the Odin power to amp. But just to make the point moot. Show a feat with the Odin power that puts him stronger than Glads (not durable).

Gladiator also had a utility belt filled with Shi'ar technology, which included expandable containment devices to secure prisoners.

Wow all a lot of accounts. Especially him not showing Psy abilities anymore.

that's funny, because he's also never contained an energy blast again either... coincedence?
