there is no double standard. if you read the fight u know exactly what happen.
no other character powers work the way Gladiators work aside from Sentry.
it fluctuates to greatly for story purposes.
I wouldnt think Lex is in superman lvl strength b/c he uses kryptonite to back his punches. just like i dont assume Hulk is at optimum confidence gladiator lvl.
although, I will agree that Hulk could seriously hurt guys like Superman who have superhearing if he Thunderclaps his ears and get a win that way. but, that isnt solely a physical beating.
