Some but mainly the ones involving hulk which basically involve 50 pages of fans denying that any defeat he ever suffered actually happened, and sometimes you can get them to concede as much as "yes he lost but it's bad writing"

"Bad Writing" is being overused on the Hype.

Bad writing is to fanboys what handbag dogs are to paris hilton.

Another thing I'm getting sick of is these idiots that always reply to being called a fanboy by saying "we're all fanboys here". Me I read the books and have a think and then draw a conclussion. Don't lump me in with your little club

Location:

Subterranea is a fictional realm beneath the earth's surface in the Marvel Comics universe. Subterranea is a system of massive caves and tunnels, some large enough to hold cities, that are inhabited by the various races of Subterraneans. The first recorded entrance to Subterranea was found at Monster Island.

Savage Hulk (AHURA MAZDA) bio

First of all I have changed the bio above to the one in Wikipedia which is more accurate taking into account recent evolutions of the character. The Savage Hulk, referring to the current marvel handbook, starts at class 100 not at 80 tons.

Second with regard his intelligence the current Hulk is as follows and this is a direct quote from Marvel:

IH: EOD: There are always discussions on different Hulk incarnations, which version are you using?

GP: Peter David left us with a great version of the Hulk -- he’s intelligent but dangerous, able to make his own choices and deal rationally with the world, but savage enough to make us always wonder just when he’ll lose control in the face of provocation and temptation.

GP is Greg Pak, the current writer of the Planet Hulk comics.

Third before I start, I wanted to refer to certain feats of the Hulk:

Hulk Feats]

Ok having gotten that out of the way, let me get to the battle:

What we have here is 2 bruisers with a similar type of dynamic factor. La Lunatica increases her strength through creating intense emotions in her opponents. The Hulk increases his strength though feeling....intense emotions. Therefore it is a viscious circle for Luna who can only increase her strength through increasing the strength of her opponent.

Now I will admit, that the Hulk is unlikely to know anything about Luna, whereas Luna would certainly have heard of the name of the Hulk. However, she will not have complete information.

In any case, to prepare for this combat Hulk will soak up gamma radiation making himself extremely powerful...actually he already is extremely powerful...lets just say too powerful for Luna. To give you an idea of the type of power I am talking, Hulk withstood a nova flame by the Torch and struck down Thing with one blow (breaking his bones). He also will be coming equipped with gladiator type armour and a sword which he knows how to use.

Luna's only way to battle the Hulk would be to fight him head on and given she is inferiour to him in every way (her base strength is far below that of the Hulk)......except for looks.....she would lose expeditedly. It is even in question whether she could use her mind tricks given the Hulk's resistance to mind control (powerful enough to shrug off Selene - an upper mid tier telepath among other things) and for her to do so she would be in range of a character powerful enough to smash a planet size asteriod in smithereens. Luna is a cool character but in this match she could only lose.

Winner - The Hulk

Power Princess -Exiles (PHAEDRUS45) bio



vs.

Silver Samurai (KYTRIGGER) bio

okay, Interesting match here. We have the badass Silver Samurai vs. Power Princess, Marvel's take on Wonder Woman.

First, let's set the record staright. Yes, Power Princess is basically just a rip-off of Wonder Woman, but she is nowhere near as powerful as Wonder Woman. Power Princess has super strength, but can only lift about 20 tons. She has enhanced durability, but it goes just short of bullets harming her The only thing that she has over Wonder Woman is that she is taller (she's 6'8) and I don't se that being a real big advantage (unless they competing in the WNBA).

Silver Samurai can teleport, and can create an energy field around his sword (other thigns too but usually his sword) that allows it to cut through almost anything. Along with this he has of course amazing skill at martial arts and usinga sword. Basically he's like a Jedi that can teleport.

Prep teim wise, I don't knwo who would be at an advantage. Power Princes has been on Earth 616 befoer and has fough with/against the Avengers so is is known. At the same time, Silver Samurai is well known as well. Both I am suere have very good databases of knowledge on super powered people so both can get info on each other.

Another thing that can come into play is the location. If Subterranea is one thing, it is dark. Hardly any light at all. While you might think that woudl affect both contestants, it woudln't be nearly as harmful to Silver Samurai. Why? Because he's a ninja! He has mastered many martial art forms over the years of both Japan and China, and I am sure Ninjutsu would be one of those forms.

Basically he would take advantage of teh darkness to get a surprise attack on Power Princess. He knows she is much stronger than him so he won't waste time, he'll want to end the fight quickly. He'll also have no qualms about killing her. He'll know that she is a warrior too and that death is the greatest honor he can give her in battle. And even though she has enhanced endurance, if she can be hurt by a bullet, then she can be cut by his sword.

Winner-Silver Samurai

OPENING COMMENTS: Gravitron vs Zaran

I think that, in this case, we need to be realistic. In the end Zaran is a normal man with excellent skills in use of weaponry. Beyond that, he's just an ordinary merc. Gravitron is in a whole other league, being a good thread for the Thunderbolts, the Avengers, as well as the Thunderbolts AND the Avengers. As quoted from the marvel.com site, his powers are:

Frank Hall has the superhuman ability to control gravitation. His power is so great as to nearly be immeasurable. He can increase and decrease gravity to a nearly unlimited number of objects at the same time, even while distracted. He has proven to control the gravity around objects of any mass, even particles of energy and objects slightly out of phase with reality. He can cause enough force to hold down the Asgardian god Thor. He can also form gravitic force bolts and force fields.

I'd usually go into a full explanation of the ways Zaran may try to defeat Gravitron anyway, but I'd just come to the same conclusion each and every time. He'd get his ass beat damn hard.

WINNER=GRAVITRON

Just for clarification, Planet Hulk cannot be used in this contest. This is Hulk prior to the Planet Hulk storyline.

I would just like to refer you to your answer when I asked you that in the discussion thread.

Yeah, Savage Hulk would be very similiar to the Planet Hulk version.

Have you changed your mind?

 

[Zoken]

Um... La Lunatika hits him over the head with a frying pan? seriously! Game over man, no way she can beat the Hulk if he isn't an uncontrollable behmoth fueled by frenzied emotions.
