It's funny, because Reed's sensors wouldn't be able to pick up the explosion until after the light/energy reached Earth (at the speed of light). Therefore, if Gladiator arrived after Reed detected it, then Gladiator < c

But, fiction.

Comics bro. What we do know is, he was going 100 times the speed of light. Nothing can be said to take that away from him.

I actually agree with Carver here.

But having said that, Monica destroys Gladiator.

Is him covering 200 lightyears in minutes non canon too?

That's not how it happened.

Nope, Gladiator was moving JUST under lightspeed which means that he arrived almost at the same time as the photons from the explosion did (since those travel EXACTLY at lightspeed). Therefore there was almost no delay between the arrivals of the visual image of the explosion and Gladiator to Earth. This is exactly the reason why it APPEARED that Gladiator had moved at 100 times the speed of light: it was (only) apparent superluminal motion.

Edit. Cogito was faster, I see.

NO. For 1 the velocity of the "object" (Gladiator) was stated and 2 based on that Gladiator would be billions of miles past Earth once the light from the explosion arrived

The same reason Reed can see the explosion in real time is the same reason Gladiator can move at 100 x C: Comics
