That's... about as un-Heather Hudson as you can get.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Oh, and she was married Logan in her universe. Until she had to kill him. It sounds schlocky as hell, but the series is actually pretty fun. The writers get to screw around with canon the way you could never get away with otherwise.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've been watching the Phoenix Saga on the animated series. Man, if I knew what snark was so many years ago...not once but twice does a character greet a newly introduced character by saying, "Character's Name! Character's Status and Role in a Gratuitous and Awkward Manner!"
Also, how does Gladiator breathe in space?

Like the Silver Surfer, he doesn't need to. He's potentially one of the strongest beings evar, too.

Apparently so. He totally whupped on Juggernaut. That was actually a pretty good way to show his strength. Kind of like, "When scary things get scared? Not good."

Gladiator's power is based in part on his confidence; the more certain he is of his success, the stronger he gets, and the stronger he gets, the more confident. He took out the entire Fantastic Four once. Let's face it, you have to be pretty confident to walk around with purple skin and a mohawk that big. However, Cannonball did lay him out once by making Gladiator doubt himself for just a second and then hitting him with everything he had.

What about his mind? Can't the Professor make him doubt himself?
His power is based on his confidence? What will they think of next?

I have a plan.
What about his mind?
It was postulated that his power is actually psychic in nature. So, while I've never read about a telepath trying to take him out, one might have a hard time doing it anyway.

So maybe the only reason he's stronger than you is because you think he's stronger than you? Well, I guess that doesn't work if you have no idea who he is and think you're the strongest thing ever. Unless he's actually projecting psychic wave things.

The only reason he's stronger than you is that he thinks he's stronger than you. That and he's pretty damn strong at his base level. Those big bulging thingies all over him aren't for show.
