The thing about Gladiator in the comics was that when he left the villain life he sort of lost the "killer instinct" as Paul Vunak would say. He lost his edge which made him a worthy opponent for DD and when Matt brought him in on a case to work with him Potter's "going soft" ended up being a liability. Now for the show, could they sort of do that? Maybe. Could be that the woman he is involved with has given him too much stability and the violent outbursts we have seen on the show disappear and that is how they adapt that aspect of the character from the books. I don't know... Just spitballing.
I have a feeling, something could happen to Betsy and he'll snap and go into "killer instinct" mode. He seems to be doing everything just for her safety.
