Are you looking at the fight above? I posted the scans for you and if you think Diana would just run through Masterson then I don't know what to tell you.

Carver listen to what I am writing Gladiator got beat by a rookie verson of Thor where WW is a highly skilled fighter so that is why I think she might get Gladiator.

Sigh. Please read this. Masterson got one solid lick off of Gladiator. One. I'm not counting the sneak attack in the beginning that he admitted too or the blast Gladiator allowed to bounce off his chest. He got one lick and that was the head slam. Gladiator had full control of that Battle and stood over him laughing. Thor then controlled a PLOT; living lightning that so happened to be flying by during his battle against Gladiator. This doesn't even include the fact that Gladiator faced other avengers before fighting Thor. I'm begging you to look at the scans carefully. That's all I'm asking. Batman defeated Wonder Woman while she had the JLA backing her. If I brought this up and posted the scans, would you accept it as evidence of Gladiator crushing her?

I have the book so you are not showing me anything. I have my opinions and you have yours.

Don't know about anybody else; I'd accept it as evidence Bruce could take down Gladiator if Glads don't know he needed to take Bruce seriously.

After seeing what he recently did to Lobo, I'm not joking about that, either:

Not commenting on who wins this but...

Gladiator never fought Rogue.

Probably the other reason I'm remembering Rogue is that she encountered KID Gladiator in a relatively recent adventure.

I'd be very interested to know to what extent Rogue's assessment is true, by the way -- if Kid Gladiator really DOES have the same power as his father to even remotely comparable levels, then Kid Gladiator's performance against Warbird doesn't bode well for how Gladiator Sr. would do against someone far stronger than Warbird ...

ww in the end. she is more skilled. strength is a non-factor, durability is close. straight h2h she would have an edge. she wouldn't sweep i don't think but maybe 7/10.

I'm sure if I posted Diana fight against Deathstroke you wouldn't be happy about it or her being shot through by bullets. Please be fair here. The winner, I don't mind, but let's at least be honest about Gladiator showings.

Deathstroke or bullet showings actually wouldn't bother me that much.
Diana seems to have effectively evolved past that level of vulnerability, to the point her flexed body seems capable of breaking a serpent god's teeth if they violently slam against her -- even with the force of a train behind her:

Kid Gladiator and Gladiator are not comparable at all. Gladiator went through the Gladiator treatment (that usually kills his kind. He's the only survivor) whereas his son is a regular strotian. Did you read the Gladiator story that explains why he is more powerful than the rest of his race?

Different serpents.

Sigh. Gladiator would kill Batman instantly. You can't compare Gladiator to Diana and Superman. Gladiator would kill him during the onset of the fight.

I think its a very good fight. I'm going with Glads 6/10 if its just purely H2H.

Gladiator, 10/10.

Slight edge to gladiator

Diana with or without gear would win.

Nope. Never read that story. From the look of the artwork of your scans it seems to be fairly recent retcon history.

This is not impressive to me, but I thank you for providing scans to back up your claims just the same.

Strength a non-factor.lol. durability about the same. Lol. I would love to see WW destroy a planet or fly through a Star. Gladiator 10/10. The guy is highly skilled in combat.

She's honestly the only established character I've seen get scaled off other characters consistently on the Battleforums.

"Oh Superman moved the Earth did he?? I guess this means Diana can do it to."

Honestly doesn't fly for other characters with her amount of showings.
