This is silly. Thats like saying hulk vs rogue but he's not allowed to get angry. Do you guys hate SS that much?!! LOL.
Oh yeah LP SS would whup SS. His cosmic awareness would allow him to sense the nature of Supes abilities and he would get fried.
Without SS being allowed to exploit Glads weakness even though its just an aspect of his powers id still go for SS. Yeah Glads is stronger but thats the only thing hes got going for him in a fight against SS. SS is debatably faster, (Gladiator apparently flies via Shiar technology not through his own abilities btw as is the case with most of the Imperial Guard. ) SS also wields far greater energies than Glads does. He would eventually find a way to put him down but only after a reallt epic battle IMO
What if Gladiator would eventaully find a way to beat SS. Gladiator is stronger, his body is stronger, more durable, SS wields more energie, true, but I am not sure that would be enough, and I think speed wouldn't be answer here. I think strengh and durability would win the match, and Gladiator has more of it.
SS is class 100 yeah? Galactus built him to be amazingly durable because he knew of the dangers inherent to his heralds role. If anything SS is more durable than Gladiator , however Gladiator is stronger.
When you get to virtually cosmic level physical strength is far from the deciding factor of battles. Its down to your powers and the energies you wield.
SS has all of Glads powers plus a whole lot more. SS is more powerful than Glads without a doubt. SS has too many options at his disposal. Glads just has strength baecause thats the only area he outclasses SS in, and even then not by much.
Glads has another weakness, self confidence. Doesnt SS have some telepathic ability? Cassandra Nova slaughtered Glads with TP although of course shes probably a much more powerful telepath.

Gladiator has surived explosion of star without breaking a sweat.
He fought Ego and at that point Thanos said his powers would be no match for Gladitaor.
Gender: Male Location: SF Bay, What is it Beezies?
I think most anti-SS people forget that he has class 100 strength.
And when did Thanos say that? Because Thanos has had some of the largest power upgrades in Marvel. So when he said it does kinda matter I guess. As far as how powerful Thanos was at the time.
I guess gladiator is written rather inconsistently and that's the one time he's amazing. I too am voting for silver surfer, but think it'd be one heck of a fight.
Question Isn't gladiator winning the Glad vs Thor thread?
On a final note....no way is gladiator stronger than thanos. Whoever wrote thanos and had him say that needs to read more comics before writing them
Silver Surfer is more powerful than gladiator. Silver Surfer can increase his strength making him just as strong or stronger than gladiator and rearranged molecules. Plus SS has the power of cosmic and he can unload on gladiator with the power of cosmic and wear down gladiator.
Alsom kgkg I think you and I interpret these threads the same...a kind of "Who is more powerful, Silver Surfer or Gladiator" there is no doubt in my mind that surfer is more powerful. Much like spidey vs Batman (Spidey) and other threads. I donno why, but other forum members tend to think the vs thread is asking a different question
Indeed, it's the member's evaluation that's being sought and not the opinion of Tyrant. Anyway, it was by his choosing to keep Morg behind for leeching and handing the others back (including Silver Surfer and Gladiator) when Galactus demanded his herald to be returend.
But Silver Surfer is surely more resourceful in his powers. With his cosmic manipulation, he can surely enhance his strength if he wants to go towards the rudimentary way of duking it out.
