Superman vs Hulk

[RJMacReady16]

Haha bingo. Plus if you've actually ever had your ass good and well kicked, you find that at a certain point during said ass-kicking "anger" doesn't become much of an issue anymore, so at some point the Hulk would just transform back into Dr. Banner and Supes would take a leak on him.

Who would win such a fight is based entirely on the whims of the writer. BUT:

1) The sun gives off a fair amount of gamma radiation, esp. when emitting solar flairs. This could save the Hulk by giving him new levels of strength to survive the close encounter with the extreme heat.

2) The energy being emitted from the sun is enough that combined with magnetic fields could conceivably change the Hulk's direction and send him in a new direction. Then his biggest challenge is to live in space long enough to get picked up by a passing spaceship.

As an alternate POV to the powers debate, it occurs to me that Reeve's Superman (as represented here) would never be so brutal to a creature and would empathize first. Failing that he would just launch his bio-luminescent ass into orbit to starve him of oxygen before wasting his time on slapping him about...

That's what I'm saying. Superman would never do something so heinously unethical as to beat up a poor non-Hulked up Banner. And that is why Superman will always lose. Because his silly alien attempt at mimicking human morality is a weakness stronger than Kryptonite.

Pretty lame excuse to argue a HULK win.

Isn't that a legitimate weakness? One that Hulk has, but has less of?

Perhaps. But not in a vs. scenario where we are talking about ability, not plausibility.

If the arguement is that Superman would never be so mean, well guess what? Hulk would have no reason to be Hulk because he wouldn't be angry and Superman still wins.

Might depend on which Superman you are referring to. Silver Age Superman would probably have no problem, since he was "nigh invulnerable." He got weaker with the Byrne reboot, and since then, I have no clue how powerful or weak he is. Energy form Superman would probably lose. I know Supes was pretty weak on the cartoons, where he would get tossed around by robots and whatnot pretty easily. Hulk had different incarnations, too. But yeah, if Superman kept flying away, then it seems like Hulk couldn't stop him easily. But could Superman really beat Hulk with heat vision?? Nah.

And Supes could throw him into space and let him suffocate. Or toss him into the sun. Except for one problem--Superman has a moral code. He wouldn't kill Hulk unless he absolutely had to as a last resort. So could he incapacitate Hulk without killing him, without resorting to the help of Batman or one of his other buddies? Not sure. Plus, Supes always seems more concerned with innocent bystanders than Hulk, so that's an extra advantage Hulk has, because Supes is always getting distracted with protecting innocent people or animals or whatever.

I'm not so sure Hulk couldn't win a war of attrition where Supes eventually got tired of flying, Hulk caught him off-guard, and that's all it took. Hulk starts beating the tar out of Supes and doesn't let up until he's beat to a pulp.

If Doomsday could do it, so can Hulk.

Hulk is strongest one there is!

Superman just plain isn't as cool as the HULK and should lose on those grounds.

Worse comes to worse, Superman would just fly really fast backward around the earth to turn back time, and prevent Banner from getting blasted by gamma rays in the first place. Hulk never exists, Superman wins.

...then fly really fast around the earth forward to get back to square one, and be home in time for biscuits. End of story.

 

[TheFiend]

Does this guy have any more of these?

 

[Adolfo]

If Superman wanted and was ready he could just stand there let hulk pound him till he was tired...end of game...

 

[MarfMaster]

That video, and this thread, win.

The Hulk is the incarnation of one of Superman's ridiculous arsenal of powers. As fun as that fight was to watch...

 

[IrishJedi]

Hulk might be able to take down Solomon Grundy.

No way on Superman, though. Probably go down like this:

They fight all over the place, destroying buildings and property, etc. Finally, Batman shows up...

Batman: "Clark, just throw the big green goober into space. Towards the sun would be preferable."

Superman: "Good point. Thanks for the tip."

Superman obliges. End.

 

[NASEDO]

Superman wins.

 

[Mr. Green]

Or Batman just toss a kyprotonite by Sup and Hulk pound him to soup. Batman always have some conflicts with Sup.....sup' superiority complex or what ever. One less aliens to worry about.

 

[vorpoll]

What about a DC VS Marvel line of Diorama's that way both sides win

Perhaps. But not in a vs. scenario where we are talking about ability, not plausibility.

Ability is about more than physicality and endurance. Psychological and personality characteristics would play a big role. It's one of the big reasons the Squadron Supreme were such big losers despite essentially having the powers of the Justice League.

Superman would not likely be able to restrain Hulk without assistance because he's not very bright, and he would not be able to kill Hulk because he's got scruples. His physical abilities are more diverse than Hulk, but it is not a foregone conclusion that he could physically defeat/incapacitate Hulk given those facts, considering he would have to get in close to use his physical strength and skill, and at that point, the playing field levels considerably. Hulk may be stronger physically, has less concern for the well being of his opponent or bystanders, and has stronger will power. Doomsday was clearly a derivative version of Hulk, and he killed Superman. Hulk could do the same.

If the arguement is that Superman would never be so mean, well guess what? Hulk would have no reason to be Hulk because he wouldn't be angry and Superman still wins.

Obviously Superman, like most comic superheroes, has a perverse enjoyment of violence and fighting. He just limits on what he will do, because he was raised by God fearing farm folk. Assumption behind this is that the two are fighting for some reason. And if that's started, unless Superman is smart enough to recognize that Hulk will weaken if Supes just leaves him alone (he isn't), then Hulk will continue to be angry for the duration of their fight, and will remain as Hulk.
