Glads has full confidence.

Wondy has used her lasso on her teamate prior to battle to command him to not lose confidence.

How would this fight go?

No Jobbering.

The Nuul
Sentry is still weak link but dont know how team 1 deals with MMs TP powers.

Prob..team 1 wins.

skyfather
team 2 ,ww is the weak link.

Team two has superior versatility and tp.

Team one has Superior Speed and Skill. And maybe strength too.

Holy fail characters.

Glads by default by being the least amount of fail without going over.

you must be kiding WW can beat the piss outta either guy in team 2

Gladiator rips MM apart. And sentry's exotic abilities will not benefit him against the likes of WW as much as say other characters. And WW does not even need her lasso for this fight.

I don't care how many planets he punches to pieces, when he does it with a ridiculous Mohawk that puts Travis Barker to shame, it is hard to take him seriously.




And team 1 because Sentry sucks.

Except Glads has already demonstrated far more striking power (and strength) than Sentry ever has. And WWH's blows were absolutely wrecking Sentry's face. Gladiators would tear his head off, like Classic Wonder Man said of Kallark before.

I don't even want to deal with MM. Guy got absolutely trashed by Preus. Kallark would demolish him, too. And with Diana like I said, this is a lock for Team One.

You think WWH could shatter a planet from a standing position in three blows? And that wasn't even a confident Gladiator...in this thread, he is.

Hell, Worldbreaker Hulk was only collapsing a portion of one continent and he was well above the WWH Sentry took on and stalemated.

FC Gladiator is one-shotting planets at 100x FTL, throwing invisibly-fast punches with strength enough behind them to crush stars with his bare hands with durability enough to fly through blasts that typically disintegrate other herald-level characters (Vulcan reference.) No way Sentry nor J'onn match that.

And TBH, I'd give the heads up win to Diana over J'onn more often than not. His TP wouldn't work, she's got better fighting skills, is faster, and nearly as strong...plus the lasso to trap him in and bracers to deflect his Martian Vision.

What does smashing a planet have to do with anything? It is impressive I'll give you that but it doesn't prove anything. He was confident against the Hulk when he met him in his own book and that didn't get him anywhere.

Collateral damage doesn't deter,mine these fights.

I agree he can shatter planets. but when he has matched up with characters such as Hyperion and such he hasn't beaten any of them easily like in a second or two. He lost to a much weaker Hulk. I know radiation was involved, but Hulk was doing fine before it can into the fight anyways.

I mentioned striking power. Shattering a planet from a stand-still position in three blows is an example of that. So is nearly tearing Wonder Man's head off in one shot, and being capable of punching Cannonball from the Earth to the sun...Gladiator has Sentry beat in strength, striking power, speed, and durability. And FC Gladiator just adds to the gap. Glads could take either Sentry or MM for a majority. And I'd give Diana a majority over MM but maybe a stalemate or very narrow loss against Sentry.

Because of PIS. Once Gladiator used his speed and full capacity like he would here, Thor was easily beat.

Dude swims through million-mile wide stars and survives solar-system busting blasts without a scratch. Pretty durable if you ask me. And I agree, Sentry is more powerful. Only because Marvel says so. Haven't found an upper limit to his power, and all that. In the first Sentry issue, the scientist even calls him omnipotent LOL.

Still, FC Glads...

FC Glads can't hang with WW Hulk while Sentry burned him out.

Dude owned Thor once the writers got their head out of their ass and allowed Gladiator to use his speed. He bullrushed him, kicked his hammer out of his hand, and one-shot Thor across NYC for the KO. Doesn't get anymore ownage than that.

Also as far as durability goes...Glads was laughing at Torch's Nova Flame while Sentry was injured by Torch's standard blast. So, yeah.

I agree with Enyalus.

Gladiator is the strongest combatant in this match. And with WW by his side, it is a guaranteed win.

You do know that gladiator had masterson thor beat and masterson thor was on the ground dead to rights. Gladiator lost that fight due to him being cocky, standing over masterson thor laughing while getting shot in the back by a magical bolt of lightning.

Masterson thor was dead just like every other person that went against gladiator in that arc.

Yeah right. WWH didn't do shit Gladiator could not have done.

MM can take Gladiator if he's not jobbing. Wondy is harder because of her shield, immunity to TP and weapons. He can beat her, but it will take longer.

J'onn's problem is Sentry. He's likely to get killed by either of team 1. I'm giving it to team 1 mainly because I can't see Sentry lasting in a prolonged battle. And J'onn can't beat team 1 by himself.

Martian_mind
Team 2.

Masterson thor was dead just like every other person that went against gladiator in that arc. Yes, Glads had him outmatched, but my point is this. When Thor hit him it hurt badly and he went down.

Masterson Thor thought quickly and summoned living lightning and used it to his advantage. Masterson almost killed Glads, not the other way around.

Glads would tear MM up imo.

The reason team 2 wins is because WW can't hang with these guys once they start throwing haymakers.

Team 1.

On top of that when did she get into Glads head. If it was in the last 6 months then she was backed by the Phoenix. With that in mind MM couldnt necessarily repeat the feat.

I wouldnt say that because within comics he is still held in high regard by the other characters and is regarded as the most powerful. I think hes just had some unfortunate low showings in quick succession as you touched upon. But given that he has high showings far in excess of the low ones you have mentioned, we cant say hes not top tier. Hes been shown on panel to be so much better than how he was portrayed in those few instances.

Namor has been showing having a tough time against Wolverine in recent years.

Thanos has been knocked out by Squirrel girl

Rogue for all her super strength and durability has been knocked out by Sabretooth.

Korvac shrugged off what LT called his "ultimate judgement" and LT fled and sealed the universe shut.

It happens to most characters.

TricksterPriest
The problem GS, is that we've not seen his real potential. So all we have to go on are these feats. Against established powerhouses, he's outclassed.

Well through sheer physical power hes easily outclassed the likes of Terrax.

Hes held his own against a being with the collective power of millions of mutants.

Whilst all others had failed the likes of Colossus, Juggernaut, Hercules etc, he actually put up a good fight against WWHulk. In said fight he also demonstrated that hes not just about strength, but he also possesses city destroying energy capabilities.

He has feats that are right up there with some the best powerhouses. Hes held in high regard by other characters and frequently called the most powerful. I think its just a case of waiting for him to live up to his potential. Either way he has some good feats and like most characters he has low showings. However he has high showings that show us that we can not define him by his poor appearances.

Namor isn't a lightweight by any means.

I disagree. WW is stronger than MM imo. He may be able to amp his strength up to Supe levels but he can't sustain it. Base WW is stronger than base MM and I believe current Wondy writers feel the same way.

Add in the fact that she is faster, is a much, much better fighter, isresistant to TP, knows MM very well and has the bracers to protect her and you have Diana taking a slim majority.

Gladiator can take either person on Team 2 for a solid majority. Also, Diana can use her lasso and bracers to protect him from Team 2's more exotic powers.

Team 1 takes this. Gladiator is the toughest person on the field. No one on team 2 is taking him down physically. WW can at least stalemate either guy on Team 2, which is all she needs to do. Also, WW adds more defense to protect Team 1 from Team 2's more effective, non-physical assaults. That adds to Team 1's already impressive durability.

It won't be easy, but they can do it.

I think you're being too generous. I see Diana taking out J'onn one-on-one at least a solid 7/10 majority.

The rest of your post beyond that point I agree with 100%.

I agree he can shatter planets. but when he has matched up with characters such as Hyperion and such he hasn't beaten any of them easily like in a second or two. He lost to a much weaker Hulk. I know radiation was involved, but Hulk was doing fine before it can into the fight anyways.

If Gladiator has been shown to be capable of shattering planets with a punch or three (pretty much a Silver Age Superman level feat) but then he seems about equal with the Hulk or Hyperion in a fight, I'd say that's right up there with any fight where the characters get their power levels fudged by the writer to make it an interesting fight.

The Nuul
We use characters at their best here, thus no low balling them.

This is not the version where Glads fought Hulk. This is planet shattering Glads here.

Yeah if this is everybody at their absolute best, it comes down to Gladiator versus Sentry and, while I don't know all of Sentry's feats, I know he's supposed to be able to do anything. Yeah I'm sure that's hyperbole but still. As it is with the stipulation that Gladiator has full confidence, I just don't see Team One losing.

Edit: I also find is funny that the OP has to throw in a stipulation to get people to argue the characters at their best and many still won't do it.

Definitely team 2.

Thanos has been knocked out by Squirrel girl

Rogue for all her super strength and durability has been knocked out by Sabretooth.

Korvac shrugged off what LT called his "ultimate judgement" and LT fled and sealed the universe shut.

It happens to most characters.

I don't know...All I recall is Cassandra Nova doing it, and then Rachel reading his mind while distracted and after just waking up...

He was kept under mental control by a WarSkrull in Uncanny X-Men #272 and #273 until the X-Men set him free.

Just because you destroy a planet that doesn't mean you are going to wreck someone who hasn't on panel. feats are good and all, but they don't determine these fights by themselves alone.

I disagree. WW is stronger than MM imo. He may be able to amp his strength up to Supe levels but he can't sustain it. Base WW is stronger than base MM and I believe current Wondy writers feel the same way.

Add in the fact that she is faster, is a much, much better fighter, isresistant to TP, knows MM very well and has the bracers to protect her and you have Diana taking a slim majority.

Gladiator can take either person on Team 2 for a solid majority. Also, Diana can use her lasso and bracers to protect him from Team 2's more exotic powers.

Team 1 takes this. Gladiator is the toughest person on the field. No one on team 2 is taking him down physically. WW can at least stalemate either guy on Team 2, which is all she needs to do. Also, WW adds more defense to protect Team 1 from Team 2's more effective, non-physical assaults. That adds to Team 1's already impressive durability.

It won't be easy, but they can do it. WW is not stronger than MM. There is nothing that suggests that at all.

Their speed relates and no one is besting the other due to an advantage by their speed.



Sentry can take down Glads physically. The guy took on WW Hulk who is physically one of the baddest mofos out there. ya dig.

Yeah if this is everybody at their absolute best, it comes down to Gladiator versus Sentry and, while I don't know all of Sentry's feats, I know he's supposed to be able to do anything. Yeah I'm sure that's hyperbole but still. As it is with the stipulation that Gladiator has full confidence, I just don't see Team One losing.

Edit: I also find is funny that the OP has to throw in a stipulation to get people to argue the characters at their best and many still won't do it. Sentry though has taken on the same character as Gladiator in a stronger form and done much better than Gladiator.

I'll rememeber that the next time you ask when has Wonder Woman destroyed a planet on panel and you try and use that to demean her.

Any more reports or trouble by those I've spoken with the past few days and there will be temp bans. Those of you who have been antagonizing will get warned at the very least. For some of you, any more warnings may mean a perm ban.

I have 6-8 names that have either been causing problems or exasperating problems the past few days. This ends today one way or another. You all can choose to stop the nonsense or I can end this idiocy with bans.

Any questions or objections can be taken to a PM.

I understand what you're saying but I'm going with what the characters are shown to be at their best. We all know power levels are fudged and that characters job.

Now I am not personally familiar with the Gladiator/ Hulk fight but I suspect it was when the Hulk was at a power level that was far beyond anything he had ever been shown to be before, planet busting level. That's okay one-off though it may be compared to Gladiator but even then, I have to suspect the writer utterly ignored Gladiator's established speed for there to be such a result. If you're going to invoke that, you should also invoke the Hulk being able to go toe-to-toe with Sentry.

At any rate, my main point is that at their best, this comes down to Gladiator versus Sentry.
