Gladiator vs Silver Surfer

I remember when these two squared off, surfer blatantly told him he knew his radiative weakeness and could radiate it to kill him

No weakness exploiting in this fight

Still Surfer.

So surfer was so scared of Gladiator that he went around asking people the achillies heel of the imperial guard ha, cos he ain't got that kinda cosmic awareness.
I'd say Glads gives him a bowl of punches.

And after Surfer takes that damage like a champ, glads confidence plumets, then he gets hit with star system slagging power.

Gladiator confidence doesn't drop when he is facing someone that he knows can handle punches. When people like Reed and Canonball can withstand his blows, that's when his confidence takes a drop.

Overall here I'd say Glads can match Surfer physically (maybe not in durability because Surfer is probably the most durable high herald, but still close), but Surfer's damage output is far, far more than Gladiator can dish out. His HV and strength is not to be scoffed at, but it doesn't quite match Norrin's huge array of stuff.

Surfer. 10/10. But he works for each win.

If we take Surfer getting slapped around by T&A(heh) and surviving, his durability looks a lot better.

Gladiator is more durable as shown in the Tyrant debacle.
Norrin blasts aren't going to be doing much to Gladiator. Surfer needs board from behind tricks. Without that then Gladiator beats Surfer everytime.

Eh even in that one showing I'm pretty sure Surfer was stated to be the most powerful.

And then when you compare everything else, Surfer is definitely more durable than Glads.

And then expanding from that, compare everything they've ever done and in every comparable sense the Silver Surfer will have out performed Glads.

And he isn't actually more durable than him if we compare relative showings like against Thor.

But yeah, he would win here because Gladiator is a huge jobber.

Surfer has done just fine physically against people in Gladiator's class it would take a prolonged physical fight to really hurt Surfer. His durability>gladiator's output from everything I've seen.

Surfer can just do to many things with his powerset that Glads cant punch or heatvision his way out of.

Someone remind me of what happened when Krosakis (who had Gladiator's power stacked with the Uni-Power) fought Surfer?

That's got to be a joke, right?

Remind me of these awesome strength feats from Gladiator that will prove too taxing for Surfer's durability 😆

I was just about to bring this up too.

Gladiator first lick on Masterson did stun him...

And 3 hits after this hurt every bone in his body.

Now it depends on how far you rank Surfer over Masterson. Masterson would've lost this fight imo if living lightning didn't show up. Even though I give Surfer the edge, him letting Gladiator pound on him wouldn't be smart; at all.
