37. Gladiator

The Gladiator is the leader of the guard for the Shi'ar Empire to uphold Shi'ar law, whatever that is. Shi'ar Law seems to be inline with human law though, because generally he's friendly towards Earth, but like any extra-terrestrial being, there are bound to be miscommunications.

My favorite story of The Gladiator is when he totally got played by the Skrulls. The Skrulls are shapeshifting people, so they are always causing trouble. The Gladiator chased one of their crashing ships down to Earth, but when he got there he found the Fantastic Four, who he thought were the Skrulls. He kicked their asses, but then the X-Men showed up and started fighting him. The Gladiator was super pissed that his friends were fighting him, but then Spider-Man and Captain America showed up and cleared everything up.

Did You Know...

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
