Galactus vs Gold Star - Galan.
Gladiator vs Guardian - Guardian wouldn't stand a chance against mohawk Superman.
Green Goblin vs Green Arrow - Goblin is more powerful, he is a brilliant tactician and has single handedly brought SHIELD down with his wits and manipulation. Robin Hood.... I mean Green Arrow would lose.
Ghost Rider vs Green Lantern - This was a tough one for me. I voted GL but I really need to know which GL this is and which GR for that matter.

I have Galactus defeating Gold Star 10/10
Gladiator would easily destroy Guardian 9.5/10. The only way Guardian wins is in the unlikely circumstance Gladiator has really low confidence.
I am going to inflame your hemorrhoids here, but I selected Green Arrow. I am already feeling the sting for my original decision as I look at the bodies of work. Green Arrow is hardly incompetent though and is a great tactician. I concede that you are correct though. Green Goblin 7/10.
Green Lantern vs Ghost Rider. This was not tough for me and I know how powerful Ghost Rider is. I was looking at Hal Jordan and Johnny Blaze for the record. I have Green Lantern winning 9/10.

More like Goblin 9/10.
Hal Jordan just with a ring or Hal with Parallax, Ion or Spectre?

You have to look at the entire body of work for Hal to come up with your answer. Look at all of his different forms and then form your opinion. That is why I score them out of 10.

If that's the case, I'd say Hal wins this every time. The guy is tactical genius and willpower incarnate.

I don't even know Gold Star, Galactus wins.
Guardian has fought Superman to a standstill more than once, and Gladiator is just a Superboy knock-off with a more easily exploited weakness. Gladiator still wins, but only 7/10.
GG vs, GA...which goblin? I assume it's Norman? Norman wins 8/10, Harry 6/10 (and I think I'm being generous) All other Goblins lose to Green Arrow.
Hal beats Ghost Rider until Skullhead breaks out the Penance Stare. Hal destroyed the universe that one time. I don't care if he spent a few weeks as Spectre to make up for it, that's a hell of a lot of sins to deal with. He still wins, but only 7/10

How is Gladiator a Superboy knock-off? Also, his weakness is one of the most blown out of proportion things in comic discussions. Not to mention Guardian wouldn't make him doubt himself at all. He's fought Tyrant without an ounce of doubt. Tyrant was Galactus level.

Also, even if Guardian has fought Supes to a standstill, Gladiator tends to be a bit more aggressive than Supes. He's broken a planet apart with just a few punches.

Just because a character is initially influenced by another, and now (actually, for some time) are absolutely different in every way I wouldn't call them a knock-off. Initial influenced wear off in no time. This would be the same as someone calling Batman a Dick Tracy knock-off. Or, for that matter, every single hero/villain wearing a cape a Superman knock-off.
Gladiator is his own character and he is one of the best.
