glads has absolutly no chance here and i mean no chance this is spite and the thread should be closed. Without the rings its a closer fight but the edge still goes to hank.
Well, Hank without rings has comparable physical stats, greater versatility, the ability to reform himself, the ability to bring out weapons capable of dealing intense damage, technopathy, etc.
With the Sinestro Corps rings, his physical blows are amped even higher, he boasts greater firepower, the ability to create shields and constructs, BFR capabilities, and more.
I really don't see any feats from Gladiator that point to his superiority over Henshaw sans rings, let alone with them.
Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
is the fact that strontian powers are based on psionics considered common knowledge? if it is, this is even more spiteful as hank could easily whip up a psi dampener from his borg form. imo it doesn't matter, just wondered if the knowledge is considered common.
Doubt it. Guardians of the Galaxy, Reed Richards, Nova Prime, and certain X-Men who knew enough to educate themselves on files know about it. Hard-pressed to remember who else. Doesn't seem like something that someone similarly situated in their universe like Henshaw would know about.
I just reread Trial of Superman. Cyborg Supermans something of a beast in it, taking out all three Reign stand ins within two pages (He one shot KO's Eradicator!), plus pocket universe Supergirl.
And he even takes out Superman in a single attack. He's possessed by Tribunal Prime when it happens, but there's no hint of a powerup (In fact, Tribunal Prime even says "I have your durability.. And as I recall, I'm even more powerful than you are), so it sounds like all Cyborg Superman.
The screwy thing, is only an issue before that Hank jacks into the Tribunals planet and hits Supes with all the energy he can sap from the planetary grid. Superman survives it (City busting power levels, easily, and I'd imagine more than that..), and than beats Hank into the ground. That was under L. Simonson, and the next issue was by Jurgens, so not sure if this is simply two different writers disagreeing about power levels? It's pretty poor form either way, basically having the arc contradict itself within two issues that probably came out within the same week..
He's so far above us in the debating area that we probably wouldn't even be able to comprehend him anyway. He's just sparing Nihilist the humiliation. And Me and Jake and Pr etc...
