So as we all know Gladiator's power derive from his confidence, as long as he's confident he's strong, and the more he's confident he's stronger. If so, what makes what makes him weaker? That's right. Doubt. Self doubt. Thinking stuff like "What if all my powers arent enough?".
And who in the battlerealm could possibly rise the doubt in his mind? And who in the battlerealm could possibly make him think and say these things? That's right...
Taken from the AMAZING Motion comics called Mixed feelings, we have seen there how Psycho man used his emotions control box to trigger doubt in Super Skrull's mind making him doubt whether he is strong enough, or maybe not... if Psycho man were to use that on Gladiator, Gladiator would lose all of his strength...
Now, beacuse Psycho man is the one in the battlerealm that can manipulate for the bad Gladiator's confidence, which is THE key thing about him, I think they should've shared a synergy! What synergy? I'm glad you asked...
There's this synergy with Mangog, the embodiment of so much hatred... called True hatred, this synergy is great as its highlights one of the 3 modes in Psycho man's control box-Hate, Fear and Doubt. But it has always felt incomplete, only a 1/3 of what should've been. Now there was the opportunity to make such a synergy-that highlights one of Psycho man's modes and empowers it... just so, you know... Psycho man could actually be used for his utility AND do damage. and make a synergy between Gladiator and Psycho man called "No doubt" or something like that, the synergy would, just like with the Mangog synergy.. lock Psycho man to the respective mode, in this case-Doubt mode, but in exchange make this mode stronger. so where in the Mangog synergy the opponent is even more likely to heavy, and the Shocks from sp1 which are the dmg source in Hate mode become stronger-in that "No doubt" synergy, the opponent would be even more likely to block, not throw a speical attack, and the empowerment to the dmg could be that striking into the opponent's block grants Psycho man indefinite stacking yet low in potency Pierce buffs, these would stack dozens time and eventually make Psycho man's block damage BIG, in additional while these are active Psycho man would inflict red damage through block as well, just like Valkirye.
Aside from that, Psycho man couldve been Gladiator's weakness in the game with his doubt mode, idk how, but could've been a fun interaction! Despite Psycho man being in class disadvantage... just like with Magneto and Tech champs.
