I recently got him as a 4* and I just want to know if he should be r5 worthy or awakening gem worthy.

Con:He’s Thor Ragnarok he’s not good
Cons: not sure honestly, he's a solid champ
Fantastic champ to have in your back pocket but very few people use him as a daily driver
Further to all of that he has an easily replaceable Heal Block with his L1 so he's a good option for the likes of Mr Sinister, he's Poison Immune which is always handy, he's got pretty solid HP, and he doesn't need to be awakened which is always nice. His SMASH! ability is really more bolstering for him on defence but can be utilised on offence as well, especially with synergies.
Con: When you're not in Face Me! Mode, he doesn't hit very hard at all so fights with him do tend to take a bit longer. His L2 is fairly strong but the power lock (forgot the proper term) doesn't last long, maybe enough for a single combo or so, and his stuns aren't guaranteed.
I still use Gulk as part of a common AW Offence team with Corvus and Proxima - Corvus does the lion's share, sure, with Proxima predominately there for True Strike synergy but she's solid as well, and Gulk can handle the fights Corvus cannot - particularly mystics and Sinister, plus he has an attack synergy with Proxima for added benefit.
But his interesting combo of features really starts to shine in higher content. Poison immune plus Face Me plus not something in his abilities sheet but he's a really good interceptor due to the way he fights. There's a lot of higher content where he is just amazing in. Mostly you're more likely to see that kind of content in later parts of the game where you're more likely (or required) to bring 5* champs.
Pros:Very Good for passive damage fights
Decent Regen and Fury when awakened
Pretty tanky as well also pretty fun to play
Cons:Outside of passive damage fights he isn’t the best
Overall I think he’s a very solid 8/10 probably a 8.5/10 good champ
Gladiator Hulk activates the Infinity Enemies Synergy on Proxima, giving the whole team a 7% Attack increase. It's not much, and it's definitely not the purpose of the combination, but it's there.
Outside of "face me" and the fury from his awakend ability his damage is not that great.
I would use him as specialist like Void or Symbiod Supreme
His playstyle makes him a really good interceptor, which is good for say Annihilus or any champ that you need to intercept. He’s a Hulk, so he’s also poison immune.
Overall, he’s very solid, and you have a good pull here.
However, it will trigger for Starburst nodes as well as some of the most pesky damage sources in the game: EMP modification (6.2 Sinister boss), Domino's Critical Failure, No Retreat nodes, Limbo, Soul Leech (Dormammu), Mephisto's incinerate, etc.
He has some niche uses, but when you come across these nodes, you'll be VERY happy you have him.
I remember using a 5/50 Gulk in Variant 1 for a few paths where Face Me triggered. Even as a 4*, he was excellent. He'd finish the fights with very little health lost.
Con - you selected the wrong champion to talk about
