I imagine him looking at himself in the mirror every morning and saying "you're the Gladiator. You're a badass. You're the best there is. No one can beat you."
Annihilus was able to invoke this psychic wave of fear around himself when he was fighting gladiator which absolutely put feat into him and let the bug man beat him senseless. Fear toxin would be absolutely destructive for gladiator!
Top notch fighters never affected his confidence. It is when something impossible happens like when he was punching a Reed Richards (that was secretly an energy construct) who couldn't be harmed, causing him to doubt his powers.
@@DanielLopez-dv4uw That was how bad it was in his first appearance. In combat with Thor, Beta Ray Bill, Hulk, Hyperion etc., confidence wasn't effected.
it also happens when he was up against a weak(relatively) and dying thanos realistic gladiator could probably have one shot him but because in his head he was facing a full power mad titan he needed teamwork to win
Fantasy Connect I think you took him to literal. Ppl say Superman is weak to magic when he is just vulnerable to magic and guess what gladiator is based off of. He is effected by magic the same way any human would be.
Thanos was severely weakened from mistress death from a godly disease she gave him and kallark only turned up after all the hard work had been done by the other heroes of the shiar
I love how Gladiator is purple and how he has pointy ears it looks awesome and I love his mohawk he’s a really interesting character I love that his costume has never changed and his appearance has never changed I’ll be very happy if they bring him to the MCU he’s a really interesting character
I remember gladiator's entrance from the old Xmen cartoon show when i was a kid. he made himself known by coming from the sky, blocking the juggernauts punch effortlessly and throwing him equally effortlessly like a he was just a small stone in his hands. and impressive entrance for the cartoon series, since no other characters could face the juggernaut
@@NewSage don't worry about it gladiator never defeated Thor and he even admitted Thor is to string for him that's something u shouldn't let slide! 😂💯🤑
I had the original X-Men comics with Gladiator. I had no idea his power was based in self-confidence. Isn't that also Captain Britain's power? Great video keep up the solid work! Cheers!
Right?! Instead Hollywood makes a movie about captain marvel, not the true one but a second rate female marvel, what a joke. Gladiator would be a great movie, but not making him like always joking like Thor, but a mature powerhouse.
Remember when he tossed Juggernaut like a bitch on the Xmen animated series? He became one of my favorite characters after that. I know the Rock is Black Adam, but he would make the perfect live action Gladiator.
I like this guy. His devotion and will determine his power. Similar to the D.C. Green Lantern Core. Sage your channel has one of the best intro beats on TH-cam!
Even if you'd deem that 'possible', how useful would it be? He'd hear sounds at... what... 2Hz... and by the speed of sound, it would be the sound of something has happened centuries ago.
Alex Tari these are still comics right? Based on fictional characters or is that not real enough? You can say physics pfff on any comic character flight, super strengh, Flash running faster than light Green hulking monsters jumping around, Green Lantern rings.
Sound cannot be heard at all in outer space. Sound travels through gases. In other words, if you were on the Moon and saw the Earth explode, you would not hear it at all - and neither would Gladiator. There is nothing to carry the sound waves.
I'll never forget his first appearance, when he beat X-men's Colossus with seemingly little effort, a completely one-sided battle. It was a fantastic fight.
Sage... thank you for such a great video... Is there any way you can make a few videos on any imperial guard characters who rebelled? Primarily from Gladiators alien race.
Great video, I didn't know a lot about gladiator until now. I was planning on buying wave three of the marvel legends apocalypse series. But some of the characters I didn't know anything about. One of them was gladiator, so thanks. So basically, he's a marvel version of Superman? LOL you just got yourself a new subscriber.
+Ryan Masterson - Thanks a lot! And if your middle name were Eric, you'd need to hit the gym to get jacked, and carry around a hammer... just for effect! 😅😎👍
Yeah, you're right. Although it was interesting in that when the real Thor fought him later on, the two fights were very similar. Both times, Gladiator put him down early and seemed to have an advantage in speed and strength. Then Thor got to swinging the hammer and that was all she wrote.
brothers of wrath pretty much what i said. Not sure what you felt the need to disprove. Edit - ll didn't "save" masterson, as he used mjolnir to pull ll out of the sky just like actual lightning.
Gladiator is the coolest superhero in mouthful he’s my favorite and I know he was based on superman but to me he’s better than superman I love how his powers worth his confidence is his power really cool superhero I love really his costume 😅
Thanks for posting it was a great video. That battle against Cassandra nova was super humiliating. Have you ever read the uncanny X-Men issue where gladiator is defeated by cannonball?
Hey New Sage... Make some videos on Rom Space Knight, videos on the Atlantis Attacks saga characters... Cloak and Dagger... The Beyonder... Venom symbiot inception from secret wars incident/ Spidey suit... Eternity, chaos, inbetweener, asprints, celestial, Rachel summers to name a few. Keep up the great content. Love all your videos... I'm actually inspired to start my own channel.
Gladiator was always one of my favorite Xmen characters. I think it would be absolutely Amazing to have him introduced into the MCU. Now that Marvel has the film rights back to the Xmen, we need to see Gladiator sooner rather than later. Overall though Gladiator is a power-house of a character. Not only is he immensely powerful but he looks really cool too. He’s got a a great costume and who doesn’t love the blue Mohawk and purple skin! Gladiator Rocks!💪🏻
Gladiator was stuck between a rock and a hard place in his origin story. He had to make a tough decision, but yeah he's loyal to a fault. He serves emperors who are paranoid lunatics, all in the name of the Shi'ar empire.
The Shi'ar empire is not like most civilizations. His home world does not matter. He is a member of the Shi'ar empire which is every planet the Shi'ar rules. So all members are his people. In his mind he sided with the empire and did what they wanted.
@@rscully5 No no matter how you slice it he was a traitor to his people listen it's just like the Roman Empire there's nothing spectacular on usual about what they were doing they were an empire they conquered other people that's what empires do they conquered his people The Empire knew that his people were strong and could possibly overthrow vale saw the Empire decided to wipe his people out and Gladiator to prove his loyalty helped the Empire do it no matter how you slice it or dice it that's a trader Gladiator still one of my favorite guys and Marvel Comics he just a kick a** dude but he did betray his people
@@the4thson262 Maybe I did not explain properly the concept of people. All races in the empire were one. All considered the people. He killed enemies of the empire.
If homelander had his powers he would be unstoppable
I imagine him looking at himself in the mirror every morning and saying "you're the Gladiator. You're a badass. You're the best there is. No one can beat you."
That sounds like Thor.
Sounds like me 😂😂
😂
How old are u now?
Then he remembers Blue Marvel and The Sentry exist.
Gladiator won me over when he threw THE SHIT out of Juggernaut in The Xmen animated series.
Yeah same here that scene is classic.
@@damianstarks3338 but I'm the juggernaut bitch
yeahhh! I cannot forget that part of the cartoon series. Just epic!
That scene was epic
@@maxandrade3918 Juggernaut blow had no effect on gladiator.He grabbed him and torn his suit.And tossed him out of sight.
I like how he tossed Juggernaut across the Atlantic Ocean in the X-men Animated Series.
ravager48 That was badass.
"But I'm the Juggernaut Biiiiiiiiiitch..."
I remember watching that as a little kid and thinking holy shit Gladiator is no joke
When I first saw that episode, I thought that was for the cartoon. Found out it wasn't. From that I always liked him.
ravager48 classic
So his power is to literally be as cocky as possible to stay as powerful as possible? I like it.
Yap
I just imagined, what if I had superpowers that worked the same way, but I never found out I had them because of low self-esteem
@@joshmathew7551 only one way 2 find out

I wonder if scarecrows fear toxin could cripple gladiator seeing as he is only as strong as he is mentally?
Annihilus was able to invoke this psychic wave of fear around himself when he was fighting gladiator which absolutely put feat into him and let the bug man beat him senseless. Fear toxin would be absolutely destructive for gladiator!
Favorite Xmen character ever. His power is self confidence. If he believes he can punch you to the sun, your going through it!
+Vlad V - I know, right! 😲 That's a BEAST for you! 👍
Vlad V literally lol
Since the animated series he’s been my favorite. No one ever knew who he was.
“Who’s your favorite hero?”
“Gladiator.”
“Um. Cool.”
Lol.
LOL.. And yet he got played by Cannonball. :D
Vlad V that's what's good
Gladiator's weaknesses is low confidence.. That's not good when It comes time to fighting top notch characters..
Top notch fighters never affected his confidence. It is when something impossible happens like when he was punching a Reed Richards (that was secretly an energy construct) who couldn't be harmed, causing him to doubt his powers.
@@tnbn55 it still happened 💀
@@DanielLopez-dv4uw
That was how bad it was in his first appearance. In combat with Thor, Beta Ray Bill, Hulk, Hyperion etc., confidence wasn't effected.
it also happens when he was up against a weak(relatively) and dying thanos realistic gladiator could probably have one shot him but because in his head he was facing a full power mad titan he needed teamwork to win
@@tnbn55 I remember that issue - FF# 150.....Gladiator thought he was punching Reed Richards....actually, it was Captain America's shield.
He's an interesting character. He's probably my favorite iteration of Superman created by Marvel. Plus, he's also vulnerable to magic.
Everyone is vulnerable to magic, depending on how powerful the magic is. Stop saying it a weakness when everyone have the same weakness.
Keemr Becks Nope, there's thaumavores, as in characters that absorb and eat magic.
Fantasy Connect I think you took him to literal. Ppl say Superman is weak to magic when he is just vulnerable to magic and guess what gladiator is based off of. He is effected by magic the same way any human would be.
Yes he is. Strontians in general are vulnerable to magic. It has been proven and stated in the comics.
Phantom GTO
He is weak to Magic
Gladiator whooped thor so easily but no one talks about that. He knocked Thanos unconscious. Tossed juggernaut like a peeble.
poweredbygarri1 but he got beat up by them too
Thanos was severely weakened from mistress death from a godly disease she gave him and kallark only turned up after all the hard work had been done by the other heroes of the shiar
poweredbygarri1 They don't wanna give him his props Gladiator is awesome.
SHENRON REAPER fuck him and you

Gladiator is no joke

Yeah he’s pretty tough, unless you shit talk him real good
Mustafa Ayad no he's not.
He also doesn't sound very fun.
If i was Gladiator, i would have no powers cuz i always lack confidence
+POLY ROYAL Maybe you are and you just don't know it ;)
"Glad he ate her" is how Clark felt after his first night with Lois.
This 1 underrated here 😂😭😭😭😭😭😭✊🏾
The way you say "Gladiator" with the southern accent is nothing less then pure entertainment gold!
I wonder why marvel never created a hypeman character that could be gladiators sidekick he'd never lose lol
the cosmic king Flavor Flavvvv!!!!!
the cosmic king Theirs a character from Bleach that does exactly that.
Kameron Dula was there ? Haven't watched that show in forever
That's 🔥🔥🔥

Gladiator is an absolute BEAST. Sometimes I feel like he doesn't always get the credit he deserves for being as strong as he is.
+Sentanyl3 - All truth there! Confidence is his "fuel" too?! Ultimate BEAST! 😲👍
It all about the writers and their favorites.
Gladiator uprooting the entire Baxter Building is one of the most epic moments in comics.

I don't think he blocked it I think he just took it in the guts without effect....great scene regardless, much love 😇
My favorite comic book character needs his own movie the power of confidence combined with a legendary skill set the mcu needs this hero
Phenomenal character and somewhat relatable… referring to his relying on self confidence to determine his strength & weakness
You forgot to mention how he beat the snot out of Thanos and knocked Thor out with one punch

My favorite superhero I love Gladiator and I love the whole concept of the shi’ar empire it’s really cool love is Mohawk
hes one of my faves in the xmen universe
Always been a fan of Gladiator. One of the Superman archetypes I enjoyed reading about.

My favorite Gladiator feat is from TAS when he chumps a charging Juggy and tosses him across the planet while exerting zero effort.
This is without a doubt the best channal evvaaa
Hell yeah! Another cool one of a character I knew of but new nothing about. Thanks man
My favorite memory of Gladiator was on the cartoon X-men. When he slapped Juggernaut into the next continent
Ugh I love Gladiator since the 90s cartoon. Great video!

Whoa I had no idea about this guy, he's crazy powerful!
Gladiator vs Sentry vs Hyperion vs Blue Marvel. Who wins?
Most likely
JDMuscle 101 Especially current sentry who fought off a Skyfather and his Army.
CHEESE BURGER FREDDY very true
Blue Marvel. He literally has unlimited power.
Mr.Guyton He does not have unlimited power, He can only produce so much anti matter before he collapses
Man I wish he would become part of the next MCU in the movies !! He's part of the Annihalators !! Who's rumored to be in phase 4 and 5..
Put me in total shock, when he ate that body shot from Juggernaut.
Gladiator is a beast!!! Dude punched Juggernaut off the planet!!!
He's powerful. But Hulk is handling him pretty well.
After all he does get stronger every second since he’s always angry
Great stuff bro keep it up
+Jermaine Abrams - Glad you're liking the channel! 😎 I appreciate you! 👍

This guy needs to be in the MC movies.. he's the ultimate badass
I remember when gladiator threw juggernaut that shit was funny af
Yo Sage, you should collaborate with DopeSpill, I feel like you guys would have a good synergy.
