He put a bullet in his mouth and came out fine. He wrecked a chitauri ship the size of a skyscraper with a single direct punch. Kurse was basically unstoppable, but it's not like the Hulk was ever once close to death either, he was just humanized more. Since you're being so technical with Asgardian spear, a situation we've never seen Hulk in, we can compare it to Mjonir. Thor's hammer was shown to be much more effective and devastating than a spear and he took a direct blow to the face.
Yeah in the comics the Hulk isn't indestructible, but in the movies when have you seen anything, and I mean anything, penetrate his skin or make him bleed? By all means it's an even fight.
Abomination penetrated Hulk's skin and made him bleed. I wouldn't compare a weapon mass produced for a footsoldier to a weapon destined for a king. Kurse also took blows from Mjolnir, iirc, and it did not lay him out like it did Hulk.
Hulk has clear and impressive feats of strength, but again, none that suggest he can kill an unkillable being or duplicate the force of a black hole. The fact that a
black hole had trouble with Kurse make it unbelievable that someone could evaluate Hulk as the clear victor. Worst case scenario, Hulk knocks Kurse around for eternity. Maybe if it were scored like a boxing match Hulk would win.
It was clearly shown in TIH, very clearly in fact, the moment when Abom has Hulk up against the wall, Hulk can barely move, and Betty is about to get killed by an explosion, Hulk's eyes glow green and he overpowers Abom when he couldnt previously, clearly showing he was getting stronger through his anger at seeing Betty in danger.
This was a clear showing of 'the madder Hulk gets the stronger Hulk gets.' Thor vs Hulk in TA had elements of it as well, Thor held his own throughout most of the fight, but just when the jet arrives and distracts Hulk, he is tossing Thor all over the place and Thor cant get a hit in. I think if that fight had gone uninterrupted, Hulk would have done to Thor what Kurse did in the TDW fight.
I should have clarified, the
limitless part is what we haven't see in the films. That's of great importance when the only thing shown to beat Kurse is a black hole. Taking out a Leviathan is basically a non issue at that point. And interestingly enough, Hulk surviving someone who was not explicitly trying to kill him (Thor) using a blunt instrument (Mjolnir) doesn't mean quite as much on the durability angle.
Hulk could win a bench pressing contest, or a points match, or even a ring out. But he can't take out Kurse, unless he can create black hole level forces, and not only has he not been shown to be able to do that, but it would be scientifically preposterous to punch as hard as a black hole. On the other hand, if Kurse is more effective and dangerous than Abomination (he is), then Hulk will lose like he almost did in TIH, unless Betty's there behind Kurse about to die thus making Hulk mad and allowing him to overcome Kurse, and that's only *if* he can make a jump in strength that big that quick. So because there is no scenario where Hulk can win, and several where Kurse can win, I give the edge to Kurse.
