Does anyone find the Hulk a bit overpowered?

[CLARKY]

I may not be the best Marvel comics expert but I would indeed find it better and more logical to have Thor, the strongest. The guy is a god, that would suits well IMO.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

As a giant Thor fan, I think the Hulk should be a bit stronger. Hercules too, for that matter. That's sort of their whole schtick--"strongest one there is" and "god of strength," respectively. But not significantly so, and Thor's got a lot of other powers to more than make up for it. Fights between the Hulk and Thor should not be as one-sided as they've become over the years. Beyond being badly written by not reflecting the characters' capabilities very well, it makes their rivalry straight-up boring. Ask any sports fan: A rivalry where every match has a predetermined outcome is not an exciting rivalry. Even in wrestling, where the outcomes are literally predetermined, the management knows to shake things up a bit now and then so it doesn't become boring. Comic writers between the '80s and '00s, unfortunately, couldn't grokk that simple fact.

 

[MarvelKnight]

no, I don't think he is.

 

[Shazam]

anyone?

Nope.....As a matter of fact, I found him to be "under-powered" in TIH. The Abomination is stronger in a normal state. But as the fight went on, Hulk looked like he was struggling to win. And leaping outta the city seemed to be a chore .......



In Avengers however, He was back in form!! He was just right!!

Every fight for the Hulk will be that way. He gets stronger as he gets more p!ssed! Thor does not. The hammer helps. But only if he throws Hulk into some dimensional vortex.t:

But a god who can die.....is that really a god? Not in my book.

I think that term is a misnomer....I think his movie explains this.....They are just an advanced race of beings who who came to earth and awed the natives.....

And this is exactly why I've never been a big Hulk fan in the comics.
Every "Hulk Vs." argument turns into "welllll.. Hulk would just get even angrier and then beat him!!"
Add that to an unstoppable healing factor, and It's bulls***, I tells ya...

Are there any characters who can just straight up kick Hulk's ass without a problem?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The Silver Surfer's sucked the gamma radiation out of him, reverting him to Banner. The Destroyer kicked his ass without taking a scratch, but the Hulk technically won that one by beating the spirit animating the Destroyer. King Thor straight-up murdered the Hulk and the Thing simultaneously in a future that has since been erased. Other than that, though, I can't think of anyone who beat the Hulk "without a problem." It's happened plenty, it just usually takes some effort.

Of course gods can die. It's called Ragnarok.

God is an extremely nebulous term. What it means carries enormously. Thor fits many pagan definitions of a god to a tee.

I'd like to see Juggernaut Colossus go up against the real Hulk before Pete eventually relinquishes the power. He was kicking the crap out of Red Hulk before he threw the fight.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I don't find him overpowered, not with his rogue gallery

That might not mean much. Everyone kicks the crap out of Red Hulk these days. He's fallen pretty far from his plot-armored debut.

 

[32CAGE]

NOPE! He's suppose to be the strongest there is.

 

[The Question]

I guess I just don't see why that really matters.

 

[Agent 194]

Strongest or not it was sure fun to see him done better this time.

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

Almost all superheroes are overpowered.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Almost all superheroes are overpowered.

If one character is truly overpowered imo, that honor goes to Magneto

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

I hope that was an attempt to troll and not your real opinion.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

What's trolling? He's overpowered

 

[Franklin Richards]

Magneto? Bah. Groot could take him out.

 

[MENTALLECT]

Writers tend to overpower superheroes when convenient. Didn't some writer have Captain America lift/press 1,200lbs when peak human is 800lbs and have him jump 17 feet vertically when even Micheal Jordan at his prime could jump 4 feet? Writers use flexibility to write stories but I don't consider these incidents to be canon, but fictional outliers. How can you punch a world hard enough for it to explode? To write a really good story takes effort when working within the confines of limited power and abilities.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Cap's kind of a weird case because no one's ever actually been at the peak of literally every physical area in real life. It's impossible. So his "peak of human potential" thing is basically as fictional a superpower as anything else.

 

[The Question]

"Peak human" is basically a way of making "low level superhuman" sound cooler.

I've never understood why there are so many stories about people trying to recreate the super soldier formula. It was impressive in 1940, but Spider-Man is, physically speaking, Captain America but better. People should be trying to recreate him.

Does Hulk have a superpower to defeat old age & all the illnesses that come with it?
