Yes, I do recall something that Thanos said that went to the tune of Annihilus' power had grown like his (Thanos'😉 and Warlock's, but that Thanos had been finding ways, or working on ways to augment his physical/personal might for millenia or some such, while Annihilus had only been at it for 100 or so years. It was the last part of 100 years that made me dismiss that Annihilus was steadily growing in power presently, and that his acquisition of this new found might was his augmentation. Not that he was steadily increasing in power. I can see why IT, and Dream could come to that conclusion. I think it could be a way of seeing it. Not sure if it was solid enough to make it out that Annihilus' shares the Hulk's ability to ramp up in strength though? I really need more proof, as I have yet to see another Gamma Mutate with dynamic strength... Well, barring Lyra.

IMHO :
1) Emo Sentry loses badly
2) Stable Sentry loses after a good fight
3) Void influence Sentry (ie molecular manipulation) crushes Annihilus
4) Full Void or DSentry crushes Annihilus
A Stable Sentry did defeat the Void on his own though don't forget. And he didn't need any amps for it either.

If something evolves, it becomes better.Otherwise, it devolves.
That could mean that his powers evolved from what they previously were, and not that it was in any way compared to what power the Hulk had. At this point we're drawing straws, and coming to unknown conclusions. I'm not 100% certain if he was stronger in his showing against Gladiator than he was when he fought the Hulk. A dying Hulk beat the mess out of Gladiator, so it's a little difficult to gauge just how powerful Annihilus was. He was most certainly powerful though.

Although it is ambiguous, it does not appear that Anni's fear aura goes away when he is fighting Glads the way it did when he was fighting Hulk. That would suggest that he has gotten more control over his new powers.
Another thing to note: Thanos's quote is that Annihilus is "evolving" not "evolved." But it's hard to know how literally to take that.

Prove that he used his fear power against Gladiator or Thanos.

Thanos also said that Warlock is as powerful as Infinity
Yes he does.
And he also explains that Warlock can only use a fraction of his power right now because of a psychological block. His scientific readings of the power within Warlock are confirmed by Annihilus's scientists, the Kree, the Skrulls, Galactus and Reed Richards
You have what reason to doubt it?
and that him and Annihilus is his/Warlock equal.
No, he does not.
He compares himself, Warlock and Anni as alike in the sense that they are all significant novelties in the universe, but he never says that he and Anni are as powerful as Warlock should be. In fact, he says that once Warlock realizes his full potential, Lock could concievably eliminate his existence with a thought.

Fraction of Eternity? Still humongous.
Lol...I don't know where you get this stuff from.
"He is changing into a being much like Warlock and myself".
The rest of that stuff you said is obviously made up but it did sound good though.

Can you just get a copy of the comic rather than making me post and describe every page?
My connection is too slow where i am to upload pages. But He uses it against the entire population of the asteroid, affecting every non-bug except for Warlock and Thanos. Glads quickly overcomes his fear (much like Hulk did eventually) and punches Anni before getting stomped. After the beatdown, the rest of the population, including heroes, are still overwhelmed by fear with no indication that the broadcast ever stopped or resumed. Only being touched by Warlock, knocked out or removed from the asteroid releases the other heroes.

The comic, which I'm having difficulty believing you actually read straight through, as opposed to just skimming for pages to use out of context.
"He is changing into a being much like Warlock and myself".
For example, to understand that quote, you need the context that it is a callback to when Thanos said this to Warlock earlier: "The two of us are unlike all others. Far from the astral norm."
The rest of that stuff you said is obviously made up but it did sound good though.
It was made up by the team of Jim Starlin, Andy Smith and Frank D'Armata.
To be fair a persons powers CAN evolve in different ways, not exactly equating to more powerful. If I have TK and can lift up 20 tons with it..and then the power evolves..I might still be unable to lift more then 20 tons with it, but I might of received a finer degree of control over the power. So the power evolved, but didn't actually become more potent, just more versatile.
But moot I guess, not like you could use "Thanos said he was on his level" as a feat for Annihilus in debates.
