Gladiator Kallark - Marvel comics version of Superman

[@FirstnameLastname-my7bz]

And Gladiator is a reference to the Wylie's Gladiator 1930 novel which inspired original (bulletproof one) Superman in the first place starting from 1933 up until official release in Action Comics #1 , it is why in AC #1 Superman Only has super stenght and durability. In 1939-1940 while Wylie was trying to sue DC/National for ripoff ofc Siegel denied similarities, but in his own memoir in 1978 he straight up lists Gladiator as one of inspirations, along with Hercules and Samson and John Carter from Pincess of Mars, especially later on when in Superman #1 1939 lower gravity of Earth was added as one of reasons behind superman's strenght (besides that , in original Siegel canon, all supermen were super strong and fast and durable even on their own planet Krypton, and they were called supermen originally, not kryptonians, basically just more evolved men-humans, because in 1934 version Superman wasn't even from another planet but from future Earth). And triangle on his chest is upside down one of first versions of original Superman's logo. Honestly Gladiator is just an example of absolutely magnificently made ripoff, it is clear what kind of character that supposed to be, but also they went So creative it just feels super right.

[@haikunyun]

Gladiator probably lost quite a bit of confidence after Rogue socked him one, thereby reducing his power levels. Rogue didn't absorb any power, but she was still able to harm him at his reduced levels. A similar instance occurred in the comics, where Gladiator was knocked into a building by Cannonball. He lost confidence because a lesser being (such as Cannonball or Rogue) dared to attack him.

I thought Hyperion was Marvel's Superman?

[@sateakhiangte9447]

Marvel has lots of superman like characters

[@SupesMe]

@@sateakhiangte9447 ah. Sentry too I guess then?

Well, considering the original Shi’ar Imperial Guards are all modeled after the 1970s Legion of Superheroes, Gladiator is more like Marvel’s Superboy

Hyperion is the exact marvel's version of superman...he too is powered by sunlight..like Superman's weakness for kryptonite, Hyperion is weak against argonite...that makes me think, if superman's from krypton, then Hyperion should be from argon...
