I don’t know about this list, which is kind of lame, but I don’t think Hulk would be much of a match for Marvel’s strongest characters.
As you can imagine, various nerds have ranked the most powerful Marvel beings. Here’s a good example. They have ranked Hulk #27, and I suppose his ranking should be even lower, because Galactus is not on the list.
Also, according to the nerdiverse: In the comic books, Hulk got his ass kicked by Dr. Voodoo’s magic in a battle that lasted only a few seconds!
The film universe is not the same as the comic book universe. Marvel has powered some of the film characters down to give them some vulnerability, but even in the film versions, I think the Scarlet Witch would be more powerful than Hulk, and possibly Dr. Strange, Thor and Loki would be as well, although I really don’t know jack about this subject.
The schtick with the Hulk is that his strength is theoretically unlimited. His durability, regeneration and speed increase with that strength. He’s effectively immortal as well. This is tied to his level of anger.
He’s still a ground pounder that could get tossed off of whatever he’s standing on and will lack the intelligence to deal with hard situations. Sure he could probably survive getting thrown into the sun but then he’s stuck there.
This doesn’t include others using alternate strategies. Silver Surfer using energy manipulation, Squirrel Girl beating him off panel, Strange using whatever magic he felt like or Umar fucking the anger out of him.
Agree with the previous comment. If you are talking strongest, then its probably the Hulk as he technically has no end limit for strangth. If you are talking power, just about everyone beats him.
Stan Lee himself said:
So one Question I’m always asked. Who would win in a fight? Who would win in a fight if Galactus fought The Hulk, or if Thor fought Iron Man? And there’s one answer to all of that. It’s so simple, anyone should know this.
The person who’d win in a fight is the person that the scriptwriter wants to win! If I’m writing a story, about The Thing, from the Fantastic Four, and he gets into a big fight with Spider-Man, and millions of people out there say Who Would Win? Well, it depends on who I want to win if I’m writing the script. If I want Spider-Man to win, he’ll win. If I want the Thing to win, he’ll win.
These are fictitious characters, the writer can do whatever he wants with them! So stop asking those questions, ’cause I’ve had it with that.
