What's funny is, Carver keeps clinging to the fact that that was a "plot device win", when normal Thor has used lightning that is FAR...FAR more powerful than living lightning, and is FASTER. Thor can amp his lightning's speed and power to unknown levels. So normal Thor, who would have been a better fighter also, could have absolutely WRECKED that Gladiator so much worse.

I'll be in the minority here, but the Marvel team also has another "weak link", in Beta Ray Bill. I've always thought of him as a poor man's Thor, with lower durability, and no trans options like the godblast. I'd have replaced Glads and BRB with Black Bolt and a non-Void Sentry, and you'd have a good fight on your hands.

Hm I think Glads is still the most powerful of those, Quasar is a good pick considering how his power would complement the team. Black Bolt is not quite elite herald, despite his scream. Sersi would have been an excellent choise.

Yeah, actually she'd be better than Sentry actually, IMO. Good call.
But I think Black Bolt has clearly been portrayed consistently as more powerful than Gladiator.

The thing that concerns me about Gladiator is not his strength, but his speed.Superman, Manhunter, Diana, etc. all are fractions of lightspeed, unless it's their Pre-Crisis versions. But Gladiator has shown that he's capable of reacting to and adjusting his speed to counter something akin to a time stop. The guy can detect a time stop, and actually sped himself up to hundreds of times the speed of light to match the time dilation and actually catch up to Thor, who has super speed of his own.

I would say BB fights smarter and more stratecically, which along with a coolness/hero factor has racked up an impressive record. Glads on the other hand sometimes act plain dumb (standing still while using HV and letting Hulk grab his face for instance), but in raw power I`d say he beats Blackagar. Not by a lot anyway, I`ll agree to disagree.

So I guess I have to post fts of Wolverine giving Thor fits.How about Superman losing to a street leveler, Shadow Dragon but Lady Shiva stomping the same person in armed combat.
Surfer and some bricks.
You all are TERRIBLE at this, terrible.
I'll be back with fts soon, at work.

If anyone reads these fights Gladiator definitely has the power to beat them he just ends up on the losing end probably because he's not an original marvel character.
Coming from you, it makes me even more sure I'm correct.

Would that apply to Thanos too? 😉
Anyway it is partly true, Glads is a blindly loyal superman and gets the short stick so heroes/cool baddies can shine. Still he gets his moments, but not often.

If you can't see the differences in the three characters then I don't know what to tell you. Darkseid isn't anything like Thanos nor is Metron.
Funny, considering the guy who created Thanos (I'm guess you know who that is...hopefully) said himself he ripped off Darkseid and Metron. (he actually used the words "ripped off"😉.
