Why didn't you post the sneak attack before that or the beat down Masterson received before that. Sad thing is, Masterson powers didn't even work on Glads, it bounced off of his chest. Masterson even admitted that the sneak attack was the only thing that he was able to use that affected Gladiator. Good job Damborgson.
Is Living Lightning really that powerful? He made the difference between Gladiator owning Masterson, and Masterson owning Gladiator.
If Thor is able to replicate the power output of the Living Lightning, surely he can own Gladiator as well, just as well as Masterson owned Gladiator after sneak attacking him?

Living Lightning is in no way, shape, or form, as powerful as the natural lightning Thor can produce.
Anyone is free is prove me wrong.
@Dark...
I have not witnessed Thor sneak attacking anyone like Masterson did to gain an advantage...just not in character for him. Also, I think a good lightning bolt from Thor could hurt Gladiator since magic is his weakness. Another thing, per this scan, Gladiator recover QUICKLY after being snuck blasted by that attack AND being pounded on by Masterson...

So in order to consider someone using the same tactic (especially Thor), they would more than likely have to be a coward and then they would have to have more hitting power than Mjlonir to keep Gladiator down.
Fair point. What about lightning to the face (so not a cowardly sneak attack)? Surely it would make the same difference, as Gladiator is weak to magic - so being prepared for it is moot. Thor definitely uses it, and even uses it against opponents who aren't on Gladiator's level - as proof, look at what he did to Tony.
I'm weak to being punched, and even if I prepared myself for it, being punched in the face is still gonna hurt like hell.
@Dark...
It would probably hurt him like it did here...

But we seen what good that magical attack did...bounced completely off of Gladiators body. That's when Masterson realized that using energy face to face against Gladiator wasn't a good idea (which is the reason he cursed himself out and didn't resort to shooting another blast).
A blast dipped in magic should help Thor but I don't think it would drop Glads. During the retelling of Gladiators history, there was a scene during that story that showed Gladiator training to over come magic, high levels of magic and it showed him succeeding. Now, the only question is, "would Thor actually sneak attack Gladiator like Masterson did.

Naah, I'm not implying that at all. I don't think any Herald would shrug off an attack from Thor but I think it takes high level of magic to drop Glads (which Thor does have). I just don't picture Thor during fights throwing out his best in every encounter just like I don't picture Gladiator fighting at nano second speed during every fight. Thor will blast and Glads will use his speed but both will not do it at insane levels.

I think Thor would.And to be honest, his lightning strikes are far, far above the size of that:
Whether is to the front, or the back, or the side, is moot - that blast is large enough to surround Tony (and hence, Gladiator) completely.
That blast didn't even drop Tony though. 😕
It's not dropping Gladiator either.
Total systems failure occurred. Tony was dropped.
Plus, Tony doesn't have a magic weakness...so it would (could?) potentially affect Glads more.
And its not Thor's most powerful blast, either. But it was just to show that, mindset wise, Thor is prepared to bust out lightning blasts, and that it doesn't need to be from behind, or to the face - he's capable of sending lightning bolts many times the size of the one that dropped Gladiator.
And yes, I firmly believe that size matters!
@Dark...
But I feel that Gladiator can dodge lightning as well.
Also, if Tony armor can withstand that attack, Gladiator can as well and Tony knew that attack was coming...Thor didn't hide it. Then, they weren't even fighting, both was standing right in front of each other...Thor wouldn't have the luxury of doing that in a fight as easily as he did against Ironman, especially against high Heralds.
Then, that was an amped Thor by the way. I see what you tried to prove with that scan but its kind of hard hitting a moving target, especially one that moves like this.

Also, want to see something neat. Look at the shield Gladiator punched. He dented it.

The difference is, Thor CAN.
👆 Cool scans.
Btw, Thor wasn't amped at all in that scene:
I guess my scans were just in answer to your only question:
Now, the only question is, "would Thor actually sneak attack Gladiator like Masterson did.
