Page 2 | Who is your favourite Gladiator

noblegiraffe · 2026-02-21T22:07:06+00:00

And why is it Legend? Gutted that he is injured but glad he is still popping up and doing funny bits. Cyclone is the best female gladiator, obviously. Just incredible.

sorryIdidntmeanto · 21/02/2026 22:41

Hammer as he is the epitome of a gladiator. I love his hair and his height.
Cyclone as she is so strong.
Sabre as she always looks like she is about to laugh.
I like Nitro and his dancing and smile. Dynamite as she is formidable. Fury is so good natured. Fire is so cool.
They are all brilliant, except Legend who is annoying.

In our house it is law to show your appreciation for each of the Gladiators as they appear on the intro songs.

Biggest cheers go to:
Nitro
Legend
Fury
Cyclone
Sabre
I give Giant an extra loud cheer as he unfurls his wings. Grrr.
DH tries to get me back by cheering for Diamond.
Viper of course gets a big boo and poor old Athena & that one who was ill in series one (comet?) get a 'Meh' and Hammer gets 'Cringe!'.
Randomly we shout the name of a child DC1 used to go to school with for Appolo because he looks a bit like him.

Oh, how the hours fly in our house.

Kickinthenostalgia · 21/02/2026 22:48

Too look at most defo giant, Steele, legend and phantom 🤣
tbh I like most of them. Got proper soft spots for fury, sabre, giant and nitro and of course legend is just legend 🤣

winteraconites · 21/02/2026 22:49

In our house it is law that every time Giant comes on I have to remark on the size of his vast thighs.

ohfourfoxache · 21/02/2026 22:49

Legend is more bell-end than leg-end…..

GinaandGin · 21/02/2026 22:50

I'm old... so it will always be WOLF.. teenage me loved his theatrics

murasaki · 21/02/2026 22:51

Back in the day, Wolf did an advert for Centro bus passes (which I had to get to school) and had an in character melt down when they wouldn't let him on the bus without one. It was hilarious in a shit way.

murasaki · 21/02/2026 22:53

For walk on tunes, I'm Nitro, Giant and Electro.

Hah, when Steel appears in the intro song we yell at him to smile but he only does the smile when he has the bit where his stats come up.

It’s a lovely smile!

What? Athena has the best tune.

ETA and Bionic.

AWedgeOfLemonAndASmartAnswerForEverything · 21/02/2026 22:57

I think Electro ought to be Electra, the feminine form, and in-keeping with the other Greek-themed Gladiators.

mohammedchungus · 21/02/2026 22:59

Sabre and nitro.

Legend gets booed by DC due to his walk on song.

seven201 · 21/02/2026 23:00

Nitro and Fury for personalities. Cyclone is amazing. Legend makes great telly.

I did enjoy hammer on the sewing bee.

Poor Electro had the worst action, literally just holding her hands out.

Her new E finger symbol is cool though.

Electra really isn't a good name for a gladiator. A father killer, sure....

It's more about current in the gladiator name.

DrEmilyCrabtree · 21/02/2026 23:04

I like them all. Fury and Fire are great and i do think Apollo is very easy on the eye. Was lucky enought to spend a few hours in the company of Steel, and can happily say he is as lovely as he looks

Well it would make her a bit more spicy than she currently is.

waterbobble · 21/02/2026 23:21

Phantom is the coolest and then Electro.

Nitro & Fury seem nice

Legend is the comedian

Apollos romper makes me laugh!

No, Athena’s jerking is dreadful

Nofeckingway · 21/02/2026 23:22

But the sewing machine would be tiny and he would crush the pedal with his ginormous gladiator strength?!

Was he a contestant as Hammer, or before he became Hammer?
