Both. Adam Warlock confirmed it on panel. Now of course this is going to hurt certain people feelings on here and I will get blamed and insulted as if I myself broke into a marvel studio and secretly wrote those statements in a comic and then put the books on the shelf of stores to sell.
Thanks 👆
Indeed it's legit:
Goes nicely with what Thing said.

No. Not 4-5 times. Less than that.
As it's both Gladiator's and Thanos' strength combined.

Then we have Odinforce (not 100%) and a relatively small portion of Power Cosmic giving really surprising results.
Sometimes amps can be weird. Same with nerfs... like the time when pre-superpowers Wrecker knocked out Loki who was at 50% of his power, iirc.
Still, given how reluctant Thanos was to engage the likes of Hulk and Glads in physical combat, it's fine to assume he is weaker than either of them. He's just much more versatile and infinitely smarter.
So, Adam Warlock is something like 3.5 times as powerful as the original Thanos? Based on the fact that he attempted to break the neck of a being he estimated (wrongly) to be 2 - 3 times as powerful as the original Thanos but failed to do so when the power level turned out to be 4 - 5 times that of the original Thanos.

Comics, broski.
Powerless Crossbones snapped the neck of superhuman werewolf with a single hand in 1 panel.
But of course he wouldn't be able to do that to WBN, who is tougher than your vanilla werewolf.
2-3x Thanos was a random werewolf for Adam, 4-5x was WBN 😛

I think you just made jbl.exe stop working
Originally posted by h1a8Yes. Thanos plus Thanos would at best be twice as strong. So it took someone much stronger to make warrior 4 or 5 times stronger. Thanos designed those clones to test the abilities of certain characters. Gladiators main characteristic was his Strength. Warrior got the lions share of his strength from gladiator.
Tbh it depends on the intention of the writer. Did the writer write Warrior to be that strong solely because of Gladiator?Just trying to be objective.
