Gladiator is ultra-confident and his confidence isn't going to dip in this battle. He is determined show his empire that even a god isn't above him when his confidence is supreme and he will fight Thor with everything he's got until he alone is left standing, victoriously holding his battle prize, Mjolnir, over the fallen god's crumpled body.
Thor is furious beyond imagination at the indignation of being challenged by an insolent alien. Thor's anger manifests in a lightning storm over Asgard such that man has never witnessed! Despite Odin's pleas to the contrary, our warrior god backs down from no challenge. Thor plans to teach Gladiator how much a fool he is for daring to challenge a god by unleashing the full extent of Thor's powers, without any mercy.
The Watcher learns of this situation, and in an attempt to prevent collateral destruction that is sure to result from this great battle, transports the two warriors onto a rocky planet with a magical forcefield around it ensuring that neither combatant can escape.
Who will be left standing after this planet-shaking battle is over? (please state reasons for your choice. after enough responses, I will write a conclusion.)
no, I don't write. I just wanted to spice up the scenario a bit, try to get some more interest than just to say Thor v. Gladiator bloodlust on. I wanted to explain why both would be on bloodlust.
Well, you've stipulated that Glads is ultra confident and his confidence won't dip. That means if he goes into this fight believeing he can't lose, and that belief can't be shaken, then he won't lose. That's his whole deal.
I think his confidence effect is a bit of a hyperbole. Sure, he is much more powerful when fully confident, but it doesn't mean he can defeat Galactus if he believes he can. In the Character OWnage thread, I think there is a pic of a fully confident Galactus being owned by some very powerful version of Silver Surfer (Glad was cut in 2 by surfer's board).
Yeah, it probably is hyperbole, but regardless, you've put us into the uncharted territory of Kallark having confidence that can't be broken no matter what. What i said is just as possible as anything else.
Though he did seem pretty confident the whole time against Tyrant, and still got his ass handed to him....
Regardless, even without unshakeable confidence Kallrk takes a slight majority over Thor IMO.
It was an Exiles comic... in it galactus was the savior of worlds... a diseasing was rendering all planets lifeless... and it was galactus's role to heal the planets.. even the shiar loved galactus.. In this world zennla was a wartorn world that destroyed itself... galactus made surfer a herald to find him worlds faster that he could heal... in exchange surfer asked that galactus teach him how he heals worlds so that he could restore zennla... galactus ended up refusing so surfer rose up against his former master...galactus states he can only heal worlds that were dying due to whatever disease was killing them, and that he would (or maybe could) not aid planets that had done it to themselves. so eventually the shiar and exiles had to go up against the surfer...
Kallark was indeed cut inhalf by the surfboard in this reality... and the surfer was defeated, bfr actually, by blink who's power was augmented by galactus to levels way beyond what she could normally do...
in this world galactus was entirely brown and appeared to be made of earth..
also really quick. on the lowend kallark was defeated by cannonball.. and on the highend he defeated ego a living planet... (neither of these were when kallark was augmented like when he had the unipower... which is something else altogether)
a bloodlust thor i would think should be able to put down gladiator... who has repeatedly been used as a bar to measure the power levels of new characters... if you want to say someone is pretty powerful... have them beat up glads.. .or terrax.. or surfer...

who knows... maybe that alternate Glads already had his but handed to him... and was remembering it.
