View Full Version : What is THE absolute limit of Hulk´s powers?
Does he even have a limit?
Imagine that someone grabbed Betty, shredded her right in front of Bana and then gloated in front of him.
What is his absolutelly most angry, most powerful limit, planet-busting? Galaxy-busting? Silver Surfer pounding?

I dont think its ever been explored.
Kind of like infinty plus one. No matter how powerful he is, he can always be more powerful.
remember that old simpsons thing? 'could jesus make a rock so heavy that he couldnt lift it?' well 'could the hulk get so strong that he wouldnt be able to take the punishment?'.

I don't mind this question, but already predicting a 10 pager of Smashsuperman or whatever his name is talking about Hulk having no limit because he lifted a rock 3x the size of earth in one of his own drawings.
That aside it's said he has no limit, but I do feel there is some limit, but it's probably more than he'll ever need. Reason I say this is because characters have had no limits in areas before and met them, take Juggernaut, not kinda unstoppable, but totally unable to be stopped once started, then he was stopped. It took a lot to stop Juggernaut, and many many years for it to happen, but it did. It may not be in our life times (if comics last that long lol, or if Hulk comics still exist), but I have a feeling there will eventually be a story of Hulk lifting or holding something back, getting ticked and stronger, then captions saying "After hours of struggling Hulk had no more strength left in his body, his limit was reached" or something. Outside of my guess tho, no acutal limit has yet to been shown, though he hasn't been put in situations to really really test it like having to keep two planets from colliding or something.

I dont think that will ever happen, I love Juggernaut, but the Hulk is one of Marvels top 5.

It's been explored by both The Leader and Doc Samson, and neither was able to find a limit to the Hulk's strength.

Don't wanna sound picky but shouldn't this threads name have been 'What is the ABSOLUTE limit of Hulk´s powers' and not 'What is THE absolute limit of Hulk´s powers?'
I don't think Zeu has grasped how you use capitals. You put emphasis on the wrong word in your title.:o

Actually, it works both ways just as well. As long as the emphasis was to the point indicating the limit itself. He wanted to know the definite. "The" worked just as well as "absolute". If he said "WHAT is the absolute limit of Hulk's powers?" then it would have been wrong.
You need to work on your captial usage rules. :o

For the type of fighter he is he has a speed limit which isnt very fast and problably an unlimited strength limit but its irrelevant.

btw supermansmash has been suspended i think so we have a while until things turn nasty.
it totally depends on the writer but whatever limits they set im totally convinced that if a mountain needed movingfrom one side of the planet to another and hulk was the only man around (no sentry, no thor) then they'd have him do it.
hulk can never fly, however, so having him in the world-breaker truly heavyweight class will never happen as there's no need to show it. one day sentry may need to move a planet into a star but hulk never will.
now to play the role of supermansmash:
hulk is the best his strength is 1099999999 slidoifs (--incomprehensible word) that of anyone else. he can't go unconscious, he cant die, he is the greatest. he is better than god, blud, innit.

As CaptainStacy said above, Hulk hasn't showed any limits. He's been tested and no limits in his strength could be found. We know he doesn't have super speed lik elightspeed, but his endurance is said to be like his strength, possibly limitless. His healing factor seems pretty limitless due to regenerating from just bones, if even that.
PAD (a writer for Hulk and others) was asked just over a year ago, who would be Hulk's greatest strength test? PAD said 'Galactus.' Yes, he really did say that.

So far no-one has found any limits, and i personally would like to keep it that way. I mean you ask just about anybody on the streets or anywhere, ' Who is the strongest comic character' and most people will say the Hulk mainly because thats what hes famous for.
I would just like to see in a comic one day, where Galactus or some other huge being, decides to wipe out the entire planet but for ONCE is beaten by the Hulk. I think i'd like to see the Hulk actually engage him in a fight so we can see the true shows of strength.

His limit comes not from his strength, which has no limit, but just how mad he can get. I think it is more a psychological question. Not how strong the Hulk can become but how much can Banner take mentally. I mean at some point Banner's humanity will become it's own limitation.

Someone mentioned Hulk not being very fast. He's pretty fast. Not Superman fast, but fast. He grabbed Spiderman out of the air once like nothing, and lots of characters have noted how fast he is given his size.
He's also jumped into orbit. And he's got the weird as hell power of being able to detect "magic."

I agree with ShadowBoxing 100%. There has never been a limit in any medium to his strength. The Leader tried to measure it with a relatively calm Hulk, and even then he failed. About the only thing that restrains him from strength that may even surpass his Secret Wars feat is Banner's psyche holding him back from doing so. About the only way I could imagine him reaching a limit is if a villain managed to anger him long enough with Banner completely devoid from the equation to witness his full power. Even then, "the madder the Hulk gets the stronger the Hulk gets"- it could indeed be possible for him to challenge godly beings and win with room to still become stronger over time.

If the Hulk fought at whatever his peak of power is, I have no doubt that Thor (even with the Odinforce) could be felled. The trick is getting him so riled up that he reaches that power and making sure Thor doesn't kill him before then.
Without the Odinforce, it's a completely different story. The Hulk has shown even in the earliest comets that Mjolnir and Asgardian strength can be usurped by his pure rage.

The giant beast from the crossroads storyline found his limit. It was crushing him to death and no matter how desperate he became he could not get strong enough to even be noticed let alone move it. He exerted all the strength he could summon when desperate and failed. That is a limit. The Hulk has the ability to see astral forms which ordinarily requires training in mystic arts or psi powers. The Hulk can simply do it without training.

I've always thought about that this way:
Children and animals are supposedly able to see ghosts (i.e. astral forms) in the real world. The Hulk's mind is simple, more akin to that of a child (which fits in with the Hulk being Banner's pissed off inner-child) than that of a rational adult (who uses "rationality" as a veil to protect their percieved reality from things such as ghosts).

Exactly, it's a by-product of his transformation. He has no magical skills or powers beyond just randomly being able to see ghosts. The Black Knight, Dr. Strange, Jennifer Kale, etc.--they could actually sense magic to varying degrees. The Hulk can't.
And I forgot about the Crossroads. The Hulk certainly seemed to find some limits there. Lots of creatures could kick his ass there, no matter how strong he got. Weren't the N'Garai demons more than a match for him, too?

........................
I know you guys probably want to beat this to death,... so I won't try to hard to explain my point and leave.
The "absolute" limit of Hulks powers is "TIME".
That is to say,.. his upper limit is primarely regulated by how much time he has to get angry enough to do the job.
Beat the power curve,... and you reach his limit.
Also,.... you remove his stress,.... (Chuckling at that last Defenders short) and he can't even become the hulk when he wants,...
TheCorpulent1
08-08-2006, 09:18 AM
So wouldn't that make his limits time and emotion, then? Because no matter how much time he has, if he hasn't got the stress to motivate his change in emotion, he'll never even become the Hulk, let alone get stronger.

I didn't include emotional state because time resolves that issue.
Take him from under dorammuu's ****ty sister,.. and after awhile he'll stay hulked out.
