Use Gladiator. Warpath's body has a belt on it that you'd have to cut off.

I'll take a look at both later and even take some close up comparison pics for you when I get a chance.

you should use gladiator, the body doesn't have too much to dremel out and in warpaths case you'll need to work the wrists and remove belts

I'd say gladiator if for no other reason than he is crazy easy to come by while I have yet to see a single Warpath in the wild
BTW I'm debating customizing my own Martian Manhunter from a Gladiator body |

Other newer alternatives with the same base....Thuderbird (GS XMen pack), Dark Spiderman (Venom), Sentry But I'd definitely go with Gladiator as he is the easiest to find now. |

If you just need a base figure then Definitely go with Gladiator he is widely available and cheap.
BBTS actually has Gladiator for $4 right now..if you get a few or pick up some other stuff to compensate for shipping its a great deal. |

Gladiator. The cape is easily removable and I've seen a few people use that as the base of there customs already.

Oooooooo dude you ARE soooooooooo close!! Im actually going to try to do Bizarro.......but he's gonna be a cyborg........a dirty rusty dieselpunk-ish cyborg,he's for an OC toyverse im working on,so im thinking Warpaths X belt wouldnt be a deal breaker (i like to squeeze in little homages to other stuff i like) but hes been severely spanked by Gladiator in the poll so im not sure!!!

Very cool idea! I'd grab Gladiator over Warpath, I believe he'll be easier to find, though the bodies are comparable. Look into modding the neck for in flight "head up" position like Tlasjr mentioned. Any clue on the head? And if you're going all "steampunk/cyberpunk/cyborg Superman style Bizarro maybe look at some Colossus and Cable arms/hands for a techy/Borg look. Come to think of it, a Cable or Colossus head would be cool too.
I'm using a Gladiator body and Guardian head as a base for a MU style Batman. |

I think gladiator has a great body. He's got the newer moldings. Warpath seems a big bulkier. Who are you trying to make?

Gladiator would kick Warpath's ass six ways from Sunday!
He's way more powerful than Warpath could ever hope to be.

I'm using a Gladiator body and Guardian head as a base for a MU style Batman. Well my plan is to get a cyborg head sculpted especially for the job because i want him to look like a 6inch Bizarro i saw(cant remember which line,but he was kinda zombie-ish looking with a really pissed off snarling face??)until i get the head sorted,i dont wanna put time into a body i cant finish.......but at the same time i wanna get as much of the planning/gathering of parts done as is humanly possible..... |

If you can get a cheap robot thor, his head parts would be pretty nice.

They have the same mold if you want flesh colored arms go with warpath also his wrist bands are removable by taking off hands giving you extra accessories if needed
