- Clips taken from X-men cartoon series of my favourite Marvel comic hero Gladiator (Kallark) - He can fly through a freakin star, he carries a ship...his only weakness is self confidence
- Zábava
This is one of the most memorable scenes or episodes.Just seeing juggs being thrown like that was like wow lol
Gladiator’s only weakness is his own self doubt. An interesting character.
Yes!
So basically sentry
All his streght came for a serum
@@rigobertorosenbaum9838 basically Superman
@@Psycho-th8vb is Superman's strength tied to his confidence
I really like how his name-Kallark- is basically an amalgamation of Superman's 2 names-KAL-el and cLARK.
good homage, writers.
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.

This show was SO GOOD. This was my Saturday morning growing up. I was so excited every time it came on.
same
Chris Diamond me to!!
Same here
What are you like 90 yrs old? my grampa used to watch these when he was a kid...my grampa is old.
@@giovannisocci8793 this X-Men series came on in the mid 90s.
That Gladiator theme song hit different back in the day
Hell yeah it did lol
Yeah, his intro was something serious.
TRUTH😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"They're coming out of the woodwork!"
LMAO
My fav line in the whole episode!
*"Oh, comin' out of the **_wood that works_** is... **_TIGHT!!"_* 💀
This is probably the only series to introduce Gladiator to the marvel animated universe.
Gladiator’s strength and power is legendary throughout the ages. He is incomparable.
Juggernaut: "Why do I hear boss music?"
Why are we listening to Mr Bad Hair Day?!
Gladiator is one badass that I'd love to see on the big screen
Only if they do him justice don’t water him down
@@joshuawright9612 yeah for real
They'll fuck it up for sure, just look at what they've done to Thor.
@@Backpatch yes but Thor wasn't always a joke, it was Taika Waitities who did it on purpose. All he wanted was a payday. Thor was for the most part a bad ass, especially in infinity war and end game.
@@Backpatch and yes I fawken hate that last Thor movie so much
He literally threw juggernaut into next season
Lmao years later ive never thought of it this way but thats actually true...
But i'm the juggernaut biiiiiiiiiiiitch.
assumed jugg didn't use full power punch.
CapMar-Vell92 Returns Now he's an Astronaut.
lololololololol
For the fact that Rogue can stand toe-to-toe with Gladiator is insane
She was pretty tough in this show. They amped her up. I was fine with that :-)
After she put Carol Danvers in a coma and absorbed her powers... and that muscular ass...lol
@@MrTmax74
If she bothered to use her actual draining power on Gladiator, she probably beats him one on one
@@dannyt9744that’s what I wish they would’ve done even if Gladiator still wins it would look more believable
Rouge fought bravely for jean and her friends in her team they gave her strenght to fight on against gladiator.
Gladiator, so damn powerful, he has his own theme song.
Rogue did really well considering that was fucking Gladiator. I miss this show.
In te comics it was Colossus whofought him instead.
She should have just taken a glove off.
Ms. Marvel could beat him
+Frederick Dominguez gladiator broke hyperion back so Carol danvers would probably fail
These were the best episodes of this Saturday morning series, and Rogue was a beast throughout.
And just think Fox had the rights to all these amazing character's they never explored. "Lames"
Agree
Right what a bunch of dumbasses.
yeah, don't expect disney use much of them too.
We already got very "good" Nova Corps adaptation hahahaha
@ Yeah i guess the -New gods- i mean the eternals and the Liu Kang movie are way more important than THE FREAKING X-MEN and characters like Gladiator (who im pretty sure wont ever be because god forgive having a male character that is stronger than Captain Marvel)
They were going to include the Shi'Ar empire into Dark Phoenix (it was also rumored that Jessica Castain's character was originally going to be Lilandra).
Unfortunately, the Disney-FOX merger derailed those plans.
His only weakness is apparently the Phoenix force scratching his back.
And his lack of confidence
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.
What an amazing musical score this cartoon has. Has to be the best musical score I've ever heard for a cartoon.
2:51 So a punch from Juggernaut didint even faze him but suddenly Rogue can land a couple of punches.
She can consume others powers to the same level
If I'm not mistaken the Gladiator's strength is based off of his confidence. The higher his confidence the stronger he is. He must have been extremely confident when he first came to Earth. I guess his confidence dropped later on, making him a little weaker.
@@javroosta88 he obviously was taken off guard
Rogue should’ve insulted his mohawk, then bodied him.
@@javroosta88 But she didnt here, and maybe her ability needs a counter, would like to see another mutant have the ability to change the state of his energy so that if one absorbs it it will affect him/her
Damn i love Gladiator's theme
I just love when Dark Phoenix picks Gladiator up with her bare hands and throws him across the moon.
This a fight the X men wasnt ready for
One of the best powersets in comics, just feel confident and you can whale on anyone
Stavol2Dual better said than done 😂
-own experience
@I’M NOT YOU NEVER WILL BE ROTFL
The Shi'ar imperial guard reminds me of DC comics Legion of Superheroes! Except this is the Marvel universe version!
Didn't help him when the Hulk stomped his face into the dirt.
Super Saiyan Goddess
Oh Gladiator gets wrecked by everyone, he’s got poor self esteem which effects his strength.
I swear, whenever the shiar get involved in anything I get a Star Wars vibe from it.
+Rick Jones shoot when I hear the name shiar, I think of Star Craft lol (its a PC game)
Yes!(!
It was this series that put me on, on how cool and badass Gladiator was!!!!🤓
1:07 I love Juggernaut's voice xD Can't get that Juggernaut Bitch video out of my head xD
How amusing I find it that people complain that Superman is too strong, but whenever anyone else makes their own version of the character, the tribute is stronger than the real steel deal and nobody complains about that.
Go Gladiator! :D
the way he took that juggernaut punch tho
daquan94 yeah did you know that he also punch Blackbolt at his thoat and freeze his month to.
Thanos vs Gladiator 2020 throws cash at monitor
@@rotyler2177 Would love to see Gladiator in the MCU!!
@@MrBigcuts36 Crossfit Thor vs Gladiator 2021
Thor defeated Gladiator a couple of times.
“Princess, I serve ‘the Throne’, and your brother sits on that Throne. Perhaps we should consider a new form of government other than a Monarchy, such as maybe a ‘Constitutional Republic’?”
Yeah that's working out real good for America right now isn't it? Hahaha LOL
As an 11 year old kid watching this, my jaw hit the floor! He tossed Juggernaut like a busted action figure!
Gladiator. Someone so tough he had his own theme song.
Juggy should be grateful that being thrown far, far away by Gladiator was the ONLY thing that happened to him. 😂
Glads threw juggy into the next season.
I expect to see DEE BO come riding into the scene asking everyone for their money and gold chains
Rest In Peace 💞 you were iconic and underrated
Yes it was sad to hear the juggernaut voice actor had passed away.
Decades later and Gladiator casually throwing Juggernaught into the distance still tickles my funny bone.
2024 still watching my brothers .. ❤❤
Like how CZcams recommended this. Completely forgot about this guy.
I’ll never for get this moment. Mind blown.
jeffrey lora you knew it was real, when took that punch. My young self was like oh sheet
Fucking badass GLADIATOR! One of my favorite Cosmic Characters along with SILVER SURFER! I remember watching that during my childhood and GLADIATOR always wow'ed me as a child until now!
"You have no honor, your bungling has displeased the emperor!"
Kallark = Clark. Makes sense.
Also Kal-El?
Kal el + Clark = Kallark 👍🏾
I see what you did there Chris Claremont.
doppelganger of Superman!
Patétic!!
1:20-1:27 DAMN! His big ass got tossed up like a baby!😂😂😂
Just realizes he has superman's insignia except upside down
Gladiator Kallark, Marvel comics' version of Superman. I'll say he is. Even his name - Kallark - is a play on Clark, as in Clark Kent, Superman's civilian identity AND Kal-El, Superman's Kryptonian birth name.
Kallark = Kal-Ark. Kal for Kal-El.
Kallark = Cal-Lark. Remove the first "A" and the extra "L" and you have Clark.
Like Superman; except murder, genocide, and working with total psychopaths.
Oh yeah, he's in charge of Shiar empire now.
Gladiator has never killed anyone so far as I know. Working with psychopaths or sociopath - you can't honestly tell me that a majority of Justice League is sane, esp. Batman.
@@metal87power Honestly, Superman is probably the most sane. Atleast his sidekicks are his indestructible family members and can actually endure bullets and crowbars. Batman will just give a kid a month of karate lessons and expect them to be a miniature Jackie Chan. It's a surprise none of the Kid Flashes have died.
@@metal87power read the last three pages www.comicextra.com/war-of-kings/chapter-5/full. Rea
Yeah I unironically find knockoffs like Gladiator, Hyperion and Sentry cool because they’re ruthless.
do you have any comic book recommendatons for Gladiator? I'd like to read more about him. Loved this X-men series in the 90's especially in this episode.
This is truly an awesome cartoon. I'm glad its finally coming to DVD after all these years. I have pre-ordered mine from the Amazon Store and they should be arriving very soon.
At the time this was the best cartoon ever. I remember watching this in the 90s and being amazed at the graphics, and the stories were phenomenal.
0:07 is one of my fav Wolverine reacts
wolverine is a true old man coming out of the wood work lamo lol
There hasn't been a show like this since it premiered in the 90s
There’s rumors Disney will pick up the series again 🤞🏻
troy vo If they do they need the same voice actors an artist who drew the characters
How dare you when Justice League/Unlimited exists.
@@eddierascalhaskell4954 I think we all can agree that, Marvel's X-Men The Animated Series, is in a league of it's own. I like Justice League an Batman TAS but I'm a Marvel Fan boy
@@tommystrawnarm2810Apples n oranges, mate.
So Classic and Iconic my friends. Thanks.
The scene where Rogue smashes a column on Gladiator was taken right from the comics, but it was Colossus instead of Rogue. Also where the structure collapses and he walks out carrying her.
Superman would still mop and wipe the floor with him.
earth 0 sups can do that on daily basis
Superman once sneezed and destroyed a solar system lol
Superman is full with plot armour,is a garbage, nothing more, even batman clap him no difficult.
That hair though..
Yo
Great scene I love his intro when he is flying through the air.
Always been a big fan of Gladiator (Kallark) good 2 see others appreciate as well.
Would love to see Gladiator as an Avenger and fighting Thanos
They fought in the Comics but only once.
@@pikkon899 yea lol it was very brief
@@mrblue3879 Yes. It was 1 punch and we never got to see a rematch where both were healthy.
@@pikkon899 yes indeed
I think of all the Marvel expies of Superman (3 in total) that Gladiator is 2nd of them in power. Sentry is the first (A Million Exploding Suns, stalemating Galactus and WW Hulk) and that Hyperion is the weakest of them.
Gladiator has twice fought Thor and held his own. He defeated Hyperion and he also fought Mindless Hulk to a brief standstill.
Then of course, there's this incident here where we see him effortlessly deal with Juggernaut.
hulk is stronger than any comic book character, and sentry didn't stalemate ww hulk. read the comic again sentry was down for the count while hulk was still unknowingly destroying the east coast until ironman stepped in to bring down an already weakened hulk
Hulk is not stronger than any comic book character. Stop that carp.
Yes, but I was referring to celestial and cosmic beings such as silver surfer, galactus, the celestial, 's entry, beck even hyperion. I just wish hulk fans will stop with this he gets stronger the madder he gets crap.
***** I know but they say that every time hulk fights expecting him to win every fight.
***** No, sentry hyperion thor gladiator flash superman shazam wonder woman supergirl thanos darkseid apocalypse captain atom captain marvel TOAA The presence odin captain universe anti monitor green lantern silver surfer etc can beat hulk. The list goes on.
Love this show as a kid and currently been reading inhumans/GOTG marvel series of comics by Dan Abnett. Was a big fan of Gladiator. Had no memory of him being in this cartoon though. Great stuff
It was one of my favorites too on Saturday morning.
So Juggernaut hits Gladiator and he doesn't move but Rouge punches him and he flies?
Yeah, and then there was the time Hulk beat him up badly.
@@Raximus3000whaaat?
@@chrisrobinson8339
Hulk once fought Gladiator and Gladiator was beatten badly.
Gladiator was named for the book "Gladiator" which was the inspiration for Jerry and Joe to create Superman.
Marvel came out with an issue years ago featuring Surfer vs. Gladiator. I still have it in my comic collection in a large plastic tote. I still remember how I nearly jumped through the roof of the store when I saw the cover!
I don't know if you heard of it but they also did a Thor vs. Gladiator issue that was a pretty awesome fight also!
1:15 The look on Juggernaut's face...Priceless!
Gladiator is very powerful.
George Gilles yeap he also Punch Blackbolt at his throat and freeze his month.
Man he Punch Black Worlm Hole 😱
Man superman even cant do that
@@yosafatsurya1082 Maybe the current superman, but the first incarnation of superman is by far the most powerful superhero ever.
@@46wayne8 don't think so
@@chesternieva1959 Bro trust me, it sounds ridiculous, but the first ever superman was basically dr manhattan on steroids lool.
woooow I didn't think gladiator had that kind of power, Superman and gladiator need to fight
My childhood. It would be cool to see gladiator in a live version
An epic moment of my childhood.
There's sexual tension between Gladiator and Rogue! That's why she was able to fight as long as she did..hid only weakness is self doubt or any weakening emotion.
Actually, marvel comics version of Superman is Hyperion. Has practically the same power set.
I absolutely loved this cartoon, I still do.
What about now?
This series is continuing by the way...marvel is releasing new episodes
I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but didn't Gladiator have a different voice actor at one point?
yep. This is the original voice. The guy that did Gulds voice in Macross Plus replaced it soon after. I could be wrong tho.
@@rotyler2177No you’re right.
@@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate Actually this is the re-dubbing and not the original voice (I have the VHS taping off the first airing on TV and his original voice is more exaggerated and less monotone than this). They redubbed all the US voice actors to use Canadian voice actors so that they didn't have to pay US royalities.
The Original Voice of Gladiator. HEAPS better
I remember it but why did they change it?
Wayyyyyy better!!!
butcher bane Yeah, Richard Epcar was the original of Gladiator.
I was about to say; his sounds way different and better! Never heard this one before. I think they changed it, because it was the same voice actor as Cable and Eric the red and just about most secondary characters in this show.
They both are variations of Superman! Hyperion, however, does share more of Supes's back-story. It's just a way to show how one with these powers might act differently.
The way your man bowed with his hands out with mercy like it's an honor you knew Gladiator was badass! But Juggernaut... Why are we listening to Mr. Bad hair day?😂😂😂
Gladiator has an allegiance to the empire and will kill for it whereas superman has an allegiance to America but not kill for it, his personality is just like captain americas. Gladiator would be a much better fighter due to his many interstellar wars versus superman's training from batman.
I agree 100%
real talk not exactly
real talk Regardless, Gladiator can't hang with Superman in a head up fight
real talk Gladiator is an Officer in the Shi'ar Empire.
Superman just has a Really good relationship with the American government (most governments on Earth, really).
However, he is Loyal to the US and Kansas in particular.
@P Smith Plus, Supes has superior plot armour, which _always_ trumps anything else...
I hope we get to see this Rogue in the MCU...drain Captain Marvel of her powers so she can hold her own against Gladiator in a proper Phoenix Saga film...
I hate Brie Larson as captain marvel. I hope they recast or kill her off. I’d love to see rogue drain her powers
@@paulcotton5096 Brie Larson ain't going anywhere lol
@@bitca222 she should. She is a bad actress. So many better actresses than her.
@@paulcotton5096 Even if they recast her it wouldn't matter because Captain Marvel was never a great character to begin with. Rogue is a far better character and far more relatable.
@@paulcotton5096 it would be great if rogue drain brie larson cap marvel until she dies to fight a powerfull foe
Always been a big Fan of Gladiator (Kallark) good 2 see others appreciate him.
hey man!!! Still there after 14 years??
i remember watching this episode as a kid years ago, was great!
Hey mate!! Still there??
Marvel is continuing this series!!!
So this proves that Superman can beat juggernaut
Tony Starks FACTS. LOL
Hell yes! How did you ever doubt that?!
lol No. TV shows are uncanon.
@@DropkickNation Bro, canon or not, it's pretty clear to 'anyone' that 'Big Red' ain't defeating Superman toe to toe anywhere.
@@QoQabai658 One, he clearly said: "This proves."
Which it doesn't.
Which I addressed.
Two, you're right. Juggernaut is not gonna beat Supes.
And Supes most likely won't beat Jugs in a test of physical power.
DC Animation is just so much superior.
Agreed! With the Surfer, it's more a question of what he can't do.
Plus, Gladiator's powers are based on his level of self-confidence.
I remember when I was a kid and saw this. When the juggernaut punched him and those lines came out I was like OH MY F-ING GOD.
A fight I would like to see is Hyperion vs Gladiator
And then gladiator was dumpstered by Dark Phoenix
Jean without the Phoenix has taken Gladiator down lol.
"The "great" Gladiator. How I've missed the pleasure of THRASHING you!"
The Phoenix is at another level of power.
Yup
I always laugh when The Juggernaut is screaming "whoa, whoa" as he gets tossed across the fat earth!
Some say different. But I agree with you. He has stood in supernova's and came out unharmed.
This is how the Dark Phoenix should have been
This may prove that it is a story too complex for the movies.
This story would take two to three movies to do for the big screen.
The fight between Rogue and Gladiator shows how ridiculous Brie Larson's statement that Captain Marvel can beat Superman really is.
People actually BELIEVE THAT!!?? HAHAHA talking about overhyping a boring character to oblivion Thats like saying that Naruto can defeat SSJ God Goku, especially considering characters like..well Gladiator or even Sentry
Hmm but if rogue took off her gloves her fight with gladiator would have been one sided in her favor. Only true loss is immortal hulk? I believe. I could be wrong it is all matter of opinion.
Captain Marvel can't even beat Thor
@@forcegg11 you say that like Thor is a slouch, 😂🤣
I remeber seeing this as a kid and being blown away with hiw strong he was haha
the fanatic threw a punch, the vampire gave a beating as best he could
Looks like Superman. Possesses the same powers as well.
Superman with a Mohawk
@@biguy617 Pretty much
Hey! That's not the original gladiator voice actor
When Gladiator appeared in “Fantastic Four” #249, the story was called “Man and Super-Man” (note the hyphen to avoid copyright infringement).
X-Men fighting space battles.
Gladiator would be a perfect cosmic hero for the MCU.
More like 1 version. Don't forget Captain Marvel, Sentry, Hyperion, and probably a few others I am missing.
he is clearly based off superman and you can tell by gladiator's weakness, powers and name kallark, (resembling superman's kryptonian name kal-el and his earth name clark) also by analyzing gladiators description like he is an alien with a super physiology, his weakness is a rare form of radiation and his powers are very similar to superman and marvel seemed to throw in the confidence thing so he wasn't exactly like him, but his mannerisms and personality are completely different.
Yesssss i love this x-men😊😊😄😄😄😄😄😄
I thought Hyperion was Marvel's Superman?
Marvel has lots of superman like characters
@@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...
