Also, I’m pretty sure that FF Gladiator was a super-skrull imposter. I remember Reed saying something about the way he lifted the Baxter building; he performed the feat from the base without tearing the entire building apart. It was something along the lines of his projecting a force field around the building to maintain its structural integrity.

Where’s that Thanos punch out grab from? I want to read that story.

No, that was Gladiator. Reed just deduced that some of his power was confidence based & that the Baxter building shoulda crumbled when he lifted it. He then used some image inducer to make Gladiator think he was punching him & using his eye beams on him which were proving ineffective cuz in reality, Gladiator was usuing his powers on Cap who had his Adamantium/Vibranium shield up vs Gladiator's blows/heat vision When "Reed" didn't go down, Gladiator was shocked & momentarily doubted his powers, that's when Sue was able to KO him with an invisible battering ram type shot.

Gladiator has gone toe to to Toe with just about every hero/villain that is a heavy hitter in the marvel universe. In his encounter with the Hulk at a nuclear reactor site, the Hulk found out during the battle that Gladiator was vulnerable to certain radiation & punched a hole in the side of a tank of nuclear radiation & shoved Gladiator face 1st into it & then proceeded to pummel Gladiator into unconsciousness. Gladiator did manage to burn a huge hole into the Hulks chest exposing his internal organs during the fight as well as take the Hulk into space where the Hulk had to think quick & popped Gladiators ears before he suffocated in space. Gladiator has easily bested the Thing, Colossus in battle as well as defeated Hyperion. Though Thanos was sick & "dying" in his battle vs the Imperial Guard, he was still holding his own & kicking many of their butts until the "big gun" showed up & cleaned his clock.

Gladiator is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaad man.
