Question
QUESTION: 1. Can you tell me everything about the Marvel Universes?
2. Can Gladiator (Kallark) defeat Superman?

ANSWER: It's probably impossible to tell you EVERYTHING about the Marvel Universes. However, here's a very good summary of the various parallel worlds and their relation to each other:

Also, you'll get lots of additional data at:

As for your second question, check out this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladiator_(Kallark)

and decide what you think might happen if Kallark fought Superman. Clearly, as a fictitious creation, Kallark is based on the DC hero -no doubt intentionally- with slightly enhanced versions of Superman's powers. However, in my opinion, Superman's maturity and experience would give him the edge.
