GLADIATOR NAME Hellga
ROAD TO DESTRUCTION Robin Coleman, a 34-year-old from Friendswood, Texas, (''It sounds dangerous, doesn't it?'') played basketball at the University of Houston, entered her first bodybuilding event in 1997, placed third at 2001's World Strongest Women competition, and became ''the biggest Figure competitor you've ever seen'' in 2006. She’s 6’1”, 203 lbs., and oh yes, she’s got a 1,625-lb. leg press: ''We finally had to add a friend of mine sitting on top of [the machine] holding plates because we ran out of space.''
YOU DON'T WANT TO MEET HER IN... Gauntlet. ''It's all about getting to pummel someone with the NERF toys... Tough and goofy at the same time is my preferred state.'' (That's true. She trained in improv at the Groundlings.)
THE MOST UN-GLADIATOR THING ABOUT HER? ''I'm a violinist,'' she says. ''And I own two miniature horses. How about that?'' (Nope: One of them is named Outlaw. Still badass.)
