richard rider vs gladiator (kallark)

full nova force rider

is the full confidence myth on?

that myth has been debunked a few times.

unless someone can mess with him mentally he won't be losing confidence in himself

so lemme get this straight, its board concensus that Glads has never lost confidence unless it was a mental assault?

He lost confidence vs Cannonball and he has no mental powers.

It's been established/confirmed in War of Kings that a Strontian's powers are psionically fueled.

Richie does the same thing he did to Xenith...

Unless it's been stated or directly shown that his confidence has been altered or diminished, Gladiator's fully confident by default.

I say Gladiator 5,5 / 10

Nova 6-7/10

Nova, 7-8/10. Doesn't have Kallark's strength, but he more than makes up for it with versatility.

Gladiator 8 or 9/10.

Carver, ignore this post...

Gladiator still has a significant edge, feat-wise. This may change in the near future, but for now, I'd say Gladiator 7-8/10.

I'm not ignoring it. Gladiator is a beast.

Gladiator should win

Glads wins but this is a decent fight.

If he had full nova force he would be as powerful as Supernova right? If so Richard wins because Supernova was hold his own against Thor Wonder Man Firelord Human Torch Quasar and others.

This is prolly going to be the last time I respond to yet another Glads/Nova thread. On second thought I'll just bookmark this so that I can cut and paste this response when this inevitably comes up again.

A significantly less powerful Nova fought Glads to a double tko before. And it was only a double KO then because Nova was drained from the discharge for plot reasons.

Currently Rider is significantly more powerful and more skilled with his power set as well. Glads is the same guy that he was when they fought 18 years ago. He punches things really hard and/or blasts things with heat vision, neither of which present a significant obstacle for Nova currently. So unless Glads has some new abilities that I don't know about I see no logical reason why the outcome of a fight between the two currently would result in anything other then a win for Nova.

Who's faster in CQC feats?
