The Strongest In The Marvel Universe?

and yet...

 

[ssj wolverine]

I would have to go with the Hulk. I heard that the Hulk was able to rip through dimensions with a punch. If that is true does anyone have any scans of this?

thanks

He wasn't a god of strength. He was a demi god who had great strength, which actually was rivaled by a few other gods, including most of the titans. And other gods portrayed heroism as well.


But yeah. Hercules SHOULD be more powerful than Thor, it's just that Thor has that powerful hammer, and control of the weather.

He was god of strength, actually. After his death he gained godhood, remember? Godhood = god of something, and Hercules became the god of heroic strength, valor, courage, all that crap.

I'm glad Civil War has rescued Herc from his punch line, drunken status that series like She-Hulk had him floundering in.

Me too. I'm also glad Thor completely pwns him by not being stupid and fighting everyone hand-to-hand for once.

 

[Mr. Green]

Hercules is stronger than Thor.

Thor is more powerful than Hercules.

Strength is not the same as power.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

And again from what I stated to your last statement of this nature, Hulk would be wet squishy mark compared to Galactus' strength. In that case, strength and power are one and the same since his cosmic powers augment his strength.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

In specific cases like that, sure, power = strength. Thor's other powers can't really augment his strength, though. The Silver Surfer's can, so his strength and power go hand in hand, but with Thor it's purely physical strength. The only things that we've seen amplify Thor's physical strength are the belt of strength and the Odinpower.

And the warriors madness which makes his strength grow to limitless potential! That means that his strength keeps increasing endlessly as he gets more pissed much like raging Hulk.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh yeah, warrior madness too. That allowed him to physically manhandle characters who were initially his equals in "Blood and Thunder." Didn't do much of anything in his fight with the Hulk when the Hulk was masquerading as the Maestro, though.

After death though. Unless Marvel is allowing him to just be a god now. In which, is crap, since God Hercules was worshipped as being even MORE powerful than his own father, since he didn't have his mortal blood to inhibit his godly power anymore.

And you don't actually have to be a god of something.

Persephone for instance wasn't the goddess of anything. Just queen of the underworld alongside Ares, but still had Demeter and Zeus for parents.

Having Godship over anything was pretty much restricted to the twelve principal gods, and a few others. Either way, I don't know if he actually was given godhood over just anything at all. Maybe, I don't know. Greek is my weakest known mythology after all.

Either way, I like seeing Hercules not drunk.

 

[Crimson red]

Let's not put beings like Galactus in this poll. If sticking with humanoid-sized beings and we're talking physical strength, Kurse is the strongest there is. Kurse was stronger than Thor even when Thor was wearing his belt of strength which doubled his strength...which means Kurse is roughly 3-4 times as strong as Thor. Wiki him if you're not familiar with him.

Hercules in the comics is already supposed to be physically stronger than Zeus anyway, which could be construed as "more powerful" at his particular domain.

I think Persephone was regarded as goddess of innocence before her marriage and goddess of the soul or something afterwards, too. Point is, if you dig deep enough, you can probably find some reference to every god or goddess being the god or goddess of something.

Especially since most gods (read: all gods, though some had similar traits) had some individual quirk.


I agree though.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, they're all built on archetypes. Technically, they are the archetypes, actually...

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

Another fact i want to mention,was that during the time i was doing research for this poll.I tried to find as many as i could,and yet..i could only come up with those on the poll.

Who else in the MU is strong enough to be mentioned?

 

[CanaryFan]

Yeah, those are the inconsistencies I mentioned in my first post. In one story line he goes toe to toe with the Hulk under normal conditions and in another story line he loses to him way to easily when suffering the warriors madness which is supposed to amplify his strength. Marvels writers really need to research what's been done with certain characters instead of just writing the story the way they feel like or playing up to their favorites.

 

[Silicon Surfer]

Persephone was the daughter of Demeter and was a minor nature goddess with her mother of course being the major nature goddess. Hercules became a god after the death of his mortal body and was the god of strength. Whether he was physically stronger than Zeus in mythology I don't think has ever been said but Zeus both in mythology and comics was more powerful than all the other gods combined Hercules included.

 

[Sloth7d]

I still say Sentry is the strongest.
It's like hes supposed to be marvels version of Superman.

Namor, Drax, Captian Mar vel, Thunderstrike, Sersi, Beta Ray Bill just to name a few.

 

[Sloth7d]

Gladiator is also a good choice.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Thunderstrike and Captain Marvel are both much weaker than those others. Thunderstrike noted after he transformed into his Thunderstrike body the first time that he was much weaker than he remembered being as Thor, and Captain Marvel is even weaker than Thunderstrike. He usually relies on the nega-bands rather than brute strength.

Lots of people would argue that the Hulk is stronger than Superman.

Actually, the Cannan gods they adopted a few of were the archetypes.

You could only really have ONE goddess of nature. Since that would be her overlying trait in the world. But like Corpy and I have already stated. You dig deep enough, and you'll find a place for everybody. But Greek Gods were definitely not shy to several gods sharing a similar or same power.
