Now Superman is faster in combat, more experience fighter (knows MA and pressure points), and uses his powers more intelligently than Gladiator. This is why Superman>>>>>>Glads other than against magical opponents.

Also, a letting loose Superman is stronger and more durable than BA. Feats prove this.

Lastly, it seems Glads has improved strength wise. Going by current showings he may be able to beat BA for a majority. But going by history then BA would win a very slight majority. Let's not forget that even if we assume the two are equals in the physical dept. then Glads still has HV, freeze breath, etc. where BA doesn't have anything extra that will be useful in battle (He's just a flying brick).

So Glads wins.

It's a matter of opinion that Superman has a faster combat speed. But, in the experience part of the equation Gladiator is hundreds if not a thousand years old... Superman came to the earth a baby in the 1950's.

In GREAT fights Gladiator 7/10 over Adam

Superman came to Earth roughly in the 70s if you apply the sliding time scale to DC's continuity prior to Flashpoint. I highly doubt Kal or Bruce were older than their late 30s. I know for a fact that under Morrison, Bruce wasn't even 40 yet by the time of Batman R.I.P.

Concerning Superman's stint in DC Asgard, does that ever get brought up outside of when it first happened?

In any case, experience is good, but being around or doing something for longer (or simply being old) doesn't make you better automatically.

On topic, Black Adam wins.

I think it's been said to be 3,000 years? But yeah. At least with Hercules it shows. When depowered, he fought toe-to-toe with Elektra of all people.

Okay.

Not sure how Superman having 1000 years of experience in Asgard means anything in the typical forum fight. That experience isn't brought up hardly at all in comics and Superman doesn't recollect that adventure hardly at all when dealing in situations where said experience would come in handy.

If anything, it just seems like a throwaway feat to counter other feats or statements of Character X having _____ years of experience or to claim that Superman does have a warrior background or something. He's already quite skilled for his tier.
