Apocalypse vs Gladiator

Who wins?

i'd take apoc. bricks don't really mean much to apoc. it would be a challenge for apoc to put him down though. he'd likely need to get creative. still, apoc's fight to lose i think.

Gladiador wins. Stronger and faster.

Apocalypse dont really have great strengh feats.

Gladiator in the other hand have destroyed a planet and fought against some high heralds (like Thor and Jane).

Yeah, he's had some excellent striking power feats there. And those do count as strength feats.

He also has restrained the Hulk with one arm --- Hulk might not have been at his best, but it's not like Apoc was trying, either.

and had no problem restraining the hulk.... the same hulk who broke gladiator's face.

Ninja'd you, leo.

PS. TAS Apoc treated Glads as a nuisance, iirc... when he kidnapped Lilandra... and TAS Glads was a force to be reckoned with, seeing how he handled Juggernaut.

But of course it doesn't count here.

yeah, tbh, the more i think about it the more strongly i lean to apocalypse here. speed is an issue but once he closes it becomes apoc's to lose i think. i suppose freeze breath may work, but not sure how long that would hold apoc.

Glads had one of his best speed showings quite recently in that battle against Asgard story arc...

... and all it proved was that travel speed =/= combat speed (something we, battleboards guys, already knew about), as he got harmed by Heimdall of all people before he managed to beat him.

Also:

He restrain a weakened hulk for like 5 seconds.

His beat feat is the fight against the young Thor.

But i think that is too little to compete with Gladiator in this. Cant he win just striking Apocalypse head? His armor is very durable, but his body...Thor just destroyed him with the enchanted hammer (who only had spell against the armor, not against his body).

Apoc's visible "head" is technically a part of his armor, as shown in The Twelve arc, iirc...

Eh, Apocalypse is too impressive. :3

that was one of the greatest speed showings ever. It's retarded how good it is. He had to react to the blink of heimdal to jump him from interstellar distance. It doesn't even make sense for him to even see the blink cause of hubble's constant.

You can see him:
1). *****-slap Odinson
2). Restrain Jane by shapeshifting
3). Taking Jane's Mjolnir to the face
4). Taking the combined efforts of both to beat him in a great fight

Apocalypse.

Actually, no. Apocalypse has fought both Jane and Odinson, simultaneously:

I dont see this fight this way.

He barely fought against the 2 at same time. When they finally attacked him together, they kinda stomped him (they didnt had any damage after fight).

Gladiator also has good fights against Thor and Jane.

The only advantage i may give apocalypse is durability, because the fight against young Thor (before that, his armor never was hyped like that, even Loki was able to harm him with a regular blast). Feat wise, Gladiator has better ones.

About speed, Gladiator has "combat speed" feats too (not only travel), in a full capability fight, i dont see why dont use this, or even use his "galaxy blink" bull rush attack.
