Nice try.
Yes, it was. I never stated LT was the strongest. You were the one who concluded that, remember.
Its a metaphorical statement, mind you. It literally means that I don't need to have cancer to know what cancer is. Metaphorically, it means I can know a thing without really /actually having it.
HAHAHAHA!!!You're really embarrassing yourself here.
That's why there is a great possibility that Apocalypse would win if he prepares. He can find ways to limit Hulk's adrenalin surge by dealing with the stimulant that causes such, which is anger. Remember, prep time is given. duh....
No one is saying Apocalypse beat Hulk in that issue. Apocalypse's goal was to turn Hulk into War and test what he can do with celestial upgrade. And he succeeded. It also demonstrates Apocalypse's strength and capability to choke Hulk and his potential to create beings as powerful or even more powerful than Hulk.
Villains don't always lose. Though Apoc always does.
