Marvel Comics confirms one idol is stronger than Hyperion and the Gawk combined as a cosmic idol has the important characters outgunned. 

 

 Marvel Confirms One Idol is Stronger than Gawk and Superman. Combined 

There are a sprinkle of bootstrappers in the Marvel Universe who compare to the pure strength of the Gawk and Marvel's Superman, Hyperion. Still, in Fantastic Four# 40 by Marvel Comics, The Thing makes an intriguing comment about Gladiator, saying the Shi'ar idol is stronger than the Gawk and Hyperion combined. The comment is clearly noteworthy, as it's quite a statement to make about Gladiator's power. 

Gawk is one of the strongest icons in comics, as his Gamma-fueled rage puts him on a power position largely unexampled by other characters. Hyperion, meanwhile, is Marvel's Superman pastiche, and like DC's Man of Steel, he packs quite a important punch. Gladiator is no deadbeat himself, as the Shi'ar cosmic idol has the strength to shatter entire globes, with a series of other capacities that increase to emotional situations grounded on his confidence. Gladiator's blend of obnoxious and protective prowess makes him rank among the top of the strongest icons in the Marvel Universe. Still, a new claim about his powers shows how strong he truly is. 

 

In Fantastic Four# 40 by Dan Slott, Rachael Stott, Jesus Aburtov, and VC's Joe Caramagna, a Watcher-powered Reed Richards, the Fantastic Four, and She- Gawk end up traveling to Shi'ar space to see the damage caused by the Reckoning. The villains, who have turned technological gifts into munitions of war, have handed multitudinous warring aliens horsepower that is causing annihilation across the macrocosm. When the Fantastic Four arrive and see Gladiator and his abettors defeated, Ben Grimm comments how doubtful that is, given that Gladiator is" stronger'n the Gawk and Hyperion smooshed together." Yes, he means combined. 

 

The Gawk and Hyperion are two of Marvel's strongest icons, so the claim that Gladiator is stronger than both of them feels a bit off. Gladiator surely rivals those icons' powers and could eclipse them collectively, sure, but together? Hyperion with the Gawk's rage would be one of the most impregnable forces in the entire Multiverse. 

Easily, Slott wanted to emphasize how important of a trouble the Reckoning is across space to indeed the strongest icons in the Marvel Universe. Taking down the Gladiator and the Shi'ar Empire clearly shows that to be true. Grimm mentioning that Gladiator, who was defeated, is stronger than Gawk and Hyperion combined, also illustrates that to be the case- indeed if it's a comment that some compendiums might check. The Fantastic Four pass to stop the Reckoning in Fantastic Four# 40 by Marvel Comic, which is in ridiculous book stores now.
