Matt Gerald, who plays Melvin Potter - otherwise known as The Gladiator, whose powers include extreme strength and wonderful costume design - will be a familiar face to fans of the extended Marvel universe. He played White Power Dave in Marvel One Shot All Hail The King opposite Sir Ben Kingsley.

Incidentally, when he first appears there's a "Revenge Of The Gladiators" poster on the wall in the background. It seems like the yellow and blue theme of the poster harks to his costume in the comics.

So too is the fact that he throws a saw-blade - a fore-shadowing moment cemented by the appearance of blue-prints for his saw-arm weaponry.
