The orginal version got lost so I made this battle again. To death. All bloodlust and morals off. Nova has the entire nova force (no worldmind). Gladiator has full confidence. Takes place in outer space. Explain your answer.
Gladiator vs Nova vs Beta Ray Bill
Nova then Beta Ray Bill and then Gladiator.
This is effectively Nova vs BRB as Nova can one shot Gladiator as he knows his weakness.
Nova 5/10
Beta Ray Bill 3/10
Gladiator 2/10

I'm going with Nova. Isn't he almost Silver Surfer level?
He's not quite surfer, but he is very powerful for a non-herald cosmic character. (I know he was a herald for a while, but his power isn't from the power cosmic.)
Beta Ray Bill would not go down easy. He's very durable and he has stormbreaker.
Gladiator is very tough, and if this was not bloodlusted, I would give him more of a chance. Nova bloodlusted would just be too much for him.
I'm surprised by all the Nova Prime votes. Both Gladiator and BRB should beat Nova Prime. Gladiator has been on equal footing with Thor multiple times and already handed Nova Prime his ass. If you believe BRB is equal to Thor, then it should be a toss up. (I tend to "want" to think BRB is slightly below Thor.....because he's not Thor....lame reasoning, but that's my take)
Nova does have that ONE chance of repeating the feat that his brother did to Xenith. But Gladiator is likely aware of this now and has nanosecond reaction time, so I doubt he would let Nova get close enough. Also, Xenith is brash and overconfident. Gladiator is more skilled, stronger and smarter. He's also been through the Gladiator training to bring his abilities to the fullest. Xenith has not. So, would the head butt with psionic dampeners even work? Maybe....
I'd say:
Gladiator 4/10
BRB 4/10
Nova Prime 2/10

I'm going to agree with this, but give Nova a bit more credit. I think it would be
Glads: 5/10
BRB: 5/10
Nova: 4/10
All of these heroes are pretty similar in power levels
@ndm5: Yep, it's a close battle.
Non-directed rant: Gladiator just gets no respect on the vine. Seems like most people give him no credit simply because he's one of the many Superman clones. But that doesn't discount his abilities and feats. Dude's a beast and has ridiculous durability, speed and strength.
I'd say BRB first Gladiator second & nova last as both BRB & Gladiator (well hes beaten nova before & many nova corps easy) can beat any version of nova & he stands no chance in this .
Nova should be a little bit below Gladiator and BRB if they are all bloodlusted. Nova's energy projection is great but it seems to me he is the least durable of the three. Gladiator is probably the fastest of the bunch and BRB has some really high end destructive feats. To me it's a toss up between Gladiator and BRB. All due respect to Nova though; he's fast becoming one of my favorite characters.
@ThanoStomp: If I remember correctly, that's not Richard Rider. It's Nova Prime, yeah, but not Richie.

He hammer might give Bill the edge, Bill is slower but he's durable and his hammer is mighty
it is a Skyfather weapon, it can hurt Galactus and he bounced a blackhole off his hammer

I am loving that high five both look super funny but Gladiator has said to of dealt with black holes with his hands but it is a toss up between them since both aren't push others when written to standard .
