Sm ,glads confidence may fluctuate , I'm not sure if glads was at his best but he couldnt break caps shield when doc strange tried to create a fake illusion from it etc supes wud probably easily break thru adimantium.
^ It was Reed's illusion.. And I believe in those days Cap's shield was a compound made of Adamantium and Vibranium.. So should be totally indestructible..
Anyway Supes wins. His marvel copycat isn't gna beat the real thing.
Dnt get how why anyone would be pro-Glads, but anti-Supes??
I don't think that Superman would totally annihilate Gladiator. There would be a fight, it would be a stalemate for quite a while, since they're both pretty damn strong and fast.
But Gladiator has one disadvantage in this battle. His confidence. As the fight would proceed, he would know for sure that he wouldn't be able to defeat Superman in the long run, if they're at least equals (while I personally say that Superman is superior).
In the end Superman would gain the upper hand, since Gladiator would be get slightly weaker during the fight and in the end it would be enough for him to lose the fight.
Glads would test him early on, but he's not beating someone faster, stronger and just all round superior to him in a fight, especially when it's Superman's tendency to get better as fights drag on. How superior depends on your pov, naturally.
1. IS the picture above Gladiator fighting 2 supermen? Or was there some kind of magical asteroid with the ability to reflect energy ? Confused... like the effort for fan art!
2. With both giving it all they got. Supes wins eventually but the instant Supes manages to put Glads down (which would take a while and be ridiculous collateral damage if set anywhere in the universe) supes would pass out or just die from the fight.
My take. Although they have for all intents and purposes the exact same power set, even if all things were considered equal, I think Supes has a superior set of tactics.
Since I've begun my reinterest in DC, one if the things that I've come to appreciate about Superman is that he has an almost criminally underrated tactical mind. Particularly during combat. I've always leaned towards characters that can wield both the scalpel and the sledgehammer with equal aptitude. We know Supes can wield a sledge hammer, but as his battle with the Elite exemplified, the man can be one hell of a surgeon if need be.
Why didnt his confident drop against Tyrant? Why didn't his confidence drop against Hyperion? Why didn't his confidence drop against Supreme? Why didn't his confidence drop when he fought an entire space fleet of Skrulls and superhumans that invaded the Shiar Empire? Why didn't his confidence dropped when he fought Binary or a gang of Centurians?
The only time it drops is when someone WEAKER THAN HIM tank an attack that they should have either been killed or koed by.
