While Gladiator and Hyperion are immensely powerful beings who would put up a hell of a fight, the battle would have to go to the Sentry. On top of having his Superman-esque abilities, the Sentry's molecular manipulation abilities almost make him a walking Infinity Gauntlet.
Superman would win. Gladiator is the original marvel Superman, so he deserves respect. But it is unlikely that he would win. Gladiator's strength is psionically tied to his confidence.
Gladiator, whose given name is Kallark, is a Strontian, and like others of his race has the capacity for great strength and various superpowers, but can only use them when he is completely devoted to a purpose; his abilities increase and decrease in accordance with his level of confidence.
Gladiator is the leader of the Shi'ar imperial guard and is stronger than the Juggernaut, Thor, and the Hulk. In fact, he's taken a punch to the face by the Juggernaut without blinking.
Nope. Thanos is a team buster and threat to to all life in the universe if not the multi-universe. I'll list versions of Thanos and determine how well Hulk does.
In conclusion, Dark Sentry would beat Gladiator, but in any other case, the Praetor of the Imperial Guard would have the edge, even if by a small margin.
There were only two ways that a gladiatorial battle could be ended—either one gladiator won or it was a draw—but it was the editor who had the final say on whether the loser died on the field or went on to fight another day.
Spartacus. Spartacus is arguably the most famous Roman gladiator, a tough fighter who led a massive slave rebellion. After being enslaved and put through gladiator training school, an incredibly brutal place, he and 78 others revolted against their master Batiatus using only kitchen knives.
4 Doctor Fate's Magic Is Too Powerful For Superman
Superman is weak to magic, so Fate is going to be very hard for him to beat. He could hurt Superman or just hold him in stasis, ending any one-on-one fight between them rather quickly.
In DC Versus Marvel #1, Superman beat the Juggernaut with a single punch. The question, then, isn't really who would win in a fight - with his versatile powerset and formidable solar-powered strength, Superman is the default victor - but rather if Superman could physically stop the Juggernaut mid-stride.
Maximus is a difficult foe to face off against, especially for those who aren't used to his line of attack. But thanks to Black Bolt's own quick thinking in a bind, and the threat of his monumental voice, Boltagon has soundly beaten Maximus the Mad, even to the point of the brother putting the rivalry behind him.
After Maximus is dubbed the Spaniard following his many victories, one of his biggest battles in Gladiator comes when he is pitted against Tigris of Gaul, the only undefeated gladiator. Though Maximus wins the fight, he spares the life of Tigris, despite Commodus giving the command for his death.
While Gladiator and Hyperion are immensely powerful beings who would put up a hell of a fight, the battle would have to go to the Sentry. On top of having his Superman-esque abilities, the Sentry's molecular manipulation abilities almost make him a walking Infinity Gauntlet.
Many gladiators managed to win freedom by winning many fights, then the gladiators could receive rudis (received after at least three years of combat), a wooden sword that symbolized the end of life as a gladiator and starting a new one as a free man.
Gladiators were usually between 20 and 35 years old. Remember the average life for a man in the Ancient Rome's times was about 40… Even the average height was shorter than today's Romans: around 5'5”! What was the real reason why Romans organized gladiators' fights?
The gladiatorial games were officially banned by Constantine in 325 CE. Constantine, considered the first “Christian” emperor, banned the games on the vague grounds that they had no place “in a time of civil and domestic peace” (Cod. Theod. 15.12.
The "sport" was appallingly brutal, and many gladiators faced the arena with fear and trembling, especially those who were assigned to square off against wild animals. On one occasion, 20 gladiators committed group suicide, killing one another one by one, rather than enter the arena.
In addition to his many incredible powers, Hyperion's strength is his most notable, described to be far beyond that of Thor or even the Hulk. Although there are many different Hyperions from several different universes, all of them prove to be much more physically powerful than Thor.
Sentry is someone who would find Goku a challenge that he could easily overcome because his strength is almost equal to that of the Saiyan, with the added benefit of his various other powers like time manipulation, matter manipulation, and superhuman stamina.
While Hercules may have the strength to literally destroy Thor's body, Thor can technically do the exact same thing to Hercules. The Olympian and the Asgardian are evenly matched in terms of both strength and durability.
In a Zeus vs Thor scenario, Zeus would probably end up the victor, but the same goes for his son, Hercules. Technically speaking, he's only a demigod, but, if any biceps could outsize Thor's, then it is the Herculators.
With access to enhancements like the Power Cosmic and the Odinforce, Thor would beat Juggernaut pretty handily, but his base form is a different story. In their normal states, Juggernaut and Thor are pretty evenly matched in terms of brute strength.
