errr...you find that funny?I'm sorry, but you only seem to do well in debates when you have the thor-corps chime in and back you up.
In our one on one debates in the past (ie hulk vs thor, and juggs vs thor) I've personally exposed your foolish (or naive) stances quite a few times...which were later also backed up by comic books.
Call me naive but I seriously doubt that happened.

I say a Thor vs Gladiator thread should go:Thor vs Gladiator-Strength Feats
Thor vs Gladiator-Striking Power (with or without Mjolnir)
Thor vs Gladiator-Durability
Thor vs Gladiator-Blasting Power
Thor vs Gladiator- Hyperbole (To give gladiators side a chance anyway)
If Carver and Rage are down....
Better add speed feats in there. Just to be fair lol.

On the other hand catching something moving at the speed of a bullet is not like that. On Mythbusters I think they couldn't even move the short distance of closing their mouth anywhere near fast enough to beat a bullet fired from a distance.So it comes down to the magnitude of the speed difference. Thor is fast, but I don't think he's even classic Quicksilver fast. Gladiator on the other hand has been shown to be extremely fast, as in Superman type hyper-speed. And if he really can approach FTL speeds Thor would have serious trouble.
Not saying Gladiator necessarily wins, but Gladiator not using his speed much in fights against Thor, Hulk etc always seemed strange to me (the only time I remember him really using it was to match Thor when Thor and the FF had already been accelerated to hyper speeds).
One story I thought was interesting with these types of characters was the old AWC annual in Death's realm. Wonder Man was beating on Thor quite well HTH until Thor resorted to blasting him with his hammer. But shortly after when Wonder Man fought Hyperion, Hyperion totally wrecked him with super speed and flight, even though he probably wasn't stronger.
I would liken Thor's speed to being able to react to those things for the most part, though.

not really.
If Glads uses his speed in the beginning he beats Thor fast.
If Glads doesn't use his speed in the beginning then Thor can win fast if he doesn't let up.
If Glads doesn't use his speed in the beginning and Thor doesn't capitalize fully and plays around a bit then Glads uses his speed later and wins.
If Glads decides to knock Thor's hammer from his hand then Glads wins everytime.
Glads wins 3/4 or 7/10 with one stalemate.
