Question Which Gladiator would be the most terrifying to face in real life?

Not necessarily the strongest either some of them just have that energy where you know your confidence would disappear the second they started sprinting towards you.

I don’t think any of the male gladiators are intimidating in the slightest.

Cyclone is the one. She’s the definition of a true Gladiator.

My daughter and I were having the same conversation - whilst I wouldn’t fancy facing any of them in duel I don’t think any of the male gladiators are actually intimidating.

I think anyone who would make a terrifying Gladiator would be weeded out early on, my nephew always wanted to be a Gladiator when he was a kid but now he's old enough and frankly big enough(he plays semi pro rugby league) he has the wrong mindset to do it, he'd take winning far too seriously and contestants would get hurt.

Cyclone. She could snap me in half like a tooth pick

Cyclone, but it would be an honour to be torn limb from limb whilst admiring her pretty white eyelashes and being thrown over someone’s garden fence in bits.

Cyclone. I would freeze with fear on the spot.

Hey fellow wheelchair user (me as required) yea me neither…I ain’t wheeling away from them quick enough either 🤣♿️

Cyclone. I would however also love a training session with her

Cyclone. I was at a filming and she was the first in line for gauntlet and her facial expression didn’t changed at all. So fierce

The correct answer is Cyclone and everybody knows it.

u/jwp1991 6d ago

Legend. As soon as he's aware of your existence, you've already lost.

u/Glittering-Wing-85 6d ago

Cyclone is definitely the most intimidating gladiator in my opinion. I think because she has the skill to back herself she doesn’t come across gimmicky

Lot of CYCLONE answers here so far. And I agree. Would not prefer to face such a giganting Fridge with such self-confidence and vow to destroy the opposition! 🫠

For the men, it has to be Nitro or Steel, however. Both brilliant athletes but also strong stage presence if you know! 😉

Remember how intimidating Shadow looked on duel in the original Gladiators?? Cyclone has that same "make you shit ur pants" energy.

u/MrsKToBe 6d ago

Bionic. But I would happily let him 🤣

u/thereidenator 6d ago

Cyclone is obviously the right answer, she is also stronger than quite a few of the male gladiators. I think only Legend can out squat her

4

u/dantes_b1tch 6d ago

Cyclone or Nitro. Nitro strong and fast, Cyclone because I think she would just use me as a toothpick

u/Cal_PCGW 6d ago

In the 90s, Shadow for definite because, well, you know.
But out of the current lot, as a female I wouldn't want to be up against Cyclone because she's such a beast. I'm sure she's lovely in real life but not so much when she's got her game face on. (Not that I'd be on Gladiators as a soon to be 59 year old with a bad hip).

u/hasimirrossi 6d ago

Yeah, Shadow also sprung to mind for some reason.

u/Feisty_Bag_5284 6d ago

Nitro as you aren't getting away from him

u/djh_is_here 6d ago

Nitro. All smiles but no mercy. Don’t let the friendly banter lure you into a false sense of security- you’re cooked!

u/Top_Climate_4464 6d ago

Hahaha he has an account and has commented on our sub several times but that’s not him.

u/Jamieb1994 6d ago

For the men. Probably either Bionic or Viper. As for the women. I'm probably gonna say either Cyclone or Fury.

Rhino lol

u/TraditionalScheme337 6d ago

Given you specified sprinting towards me, Nitro!

The guy is crazy fast but also, is built like a massive bodybuilder! The speed he would close distance and that bulk would just throw me

u/CertainLime6995 5d ago

Cyclone.

u/plot_question_uk 6d ago

Steel, I would imagine he has the best cardio of the lot. That being said I'd fancy I could outrun them aside from nitro and apollo

Tigris of Gaul.
