its kind of like cheese pizza with anchovies and onions...it just never happens in the normal universe itself.

Correct. The Hulk will never exist in the real universe. However, in a fictional universe, there are no limits. It is fiction, the abolition of all rational thought. I mean, if your argument is that logic and reality should play a part in fiction, then you must really hate Star Wars and Harry Potter and all those demonic *uncreative* stories. You keep saying that the writers need to use some common sense in writing their comics, but they don't need to do that at all. Why should they? It's fiction. Nothing is real. The only time that common sense MIGHT play a part in comics is if Batman and Black Adam fought each other. Common sense would say that Black Adam should absolutely demolish Batman. However, it is Batman, who is infinite times cooler and defies the laws of fiction with every thing he does.


PS: By infinite times cooler, I say that because Batman is infinite times cooler than everyone. I think Black Adam is pretty awesome too. ESPECIALLY WHEN HE PUSHED PSYCHO PIRATE'S EYES THROUGH HIS SKULL!

Later, Hulk destroys this astroid, double the size of Earth, with a single blow.



The scans I've been able to find are... fragmented, but this all took place in Marvel Comics Presents #52.

Potentially limitless doesn't mean it is.

Potentially limitless, means that it is potentially limitless.

It means that there is no limit to how strong he can become. It means that yes, he can get strong enough to lift a million tons, or a trillion tons, or even a million trillion tons.

[Soberguy]

What about a bajillion tons? Or a bajillion kajillion tons?

[silversurfer092]

I love the old Marvel comics. Hulk needed help from "experimental anti-magnetic jet-propelled fortified rocket springs". The things they thought of in the 1960's. I LOVE IT.

[Soberguy]

Which means he could never have done it off a rocket propelling him...where is the ice cream and mustard?

I'm starting to wonder if Anu is suffering from some sort of aphasia.

[silversurfer092]

Batman doesn't exist and he eats meat.

Correct, but I'm not sure I see your point.

[Soberguy]

I dont know what that is and no need to worry...where is the Ice Cream and horseradish? Put that in a microwave and mix that up with some cayenne pepper and sauerkraut...it will really change your day. It will and it will open you up to all kinds of new possible ways of astral travel and technical knowledge to understand the limits of the hulk. Also...know that cheese has secrets it doesnt tell you.

You're either suffering from remote paraphasia or are not funny. Possibly both.

[Jaeger Panzer]

I lol'd.

[Soberguy]

Try lauging Sober...you can do it! I know you can! After some ex lax and some spinach you world will be set free!!!! Rice krispies!! HA HA!!

Come on Sober...take a breath...you take this and me way too serious! I am probably not real and you imagine i'm here!

Yes because that's my problem: an inability to see the funny side.

I believe that I may be one of the most patient and forgiving person on this site but GOD DAMN!

Actually, the only thing I agree with him on is "potentially limitless doesn't mean it is limitless" he brought up on the last page. That's true, the Hulk's strength is "potentially limitless", which means that there is a chance that his strength does have a limit. There is also a chance that it doesn't. Potentially limitless does mean, in case people don't realize the implication, that his strength is also potentially limited.

Knowing comics though, the chances are higher that his strength is on the "limitless" side.

If someone made a fight between the Hulk and his potentially limitless strength and... I dunno, some random character (we'll call him Stallone) with flat out stated "limitless" strength, I'd bet on that random character. Because we know for a fact that he's arbitrarily strong. So if the set up is "Which character can lift an object equal to the weight of all the stars in the universe, Hulk or Stallone?" Stallone for a fact can do so, the Hulk may be able to do so, but only under certain conditions (if he's mad enough, if that requires strength that may or may not fall out of his limits, etc).

[Dr. Pymp(mex)]

Hahaha don't get hung up on who is stronger. Hulk is strong, and to think someone can lift a planet up is well childish, sure the Hulk has been stated to have great strength, an in Secret Wars he lifted a small mountain (by no way was that a mount everest kind) doesn't mean he can lift a planet.

That scan showing him destroying a meteor is being taken out of context. He was pushed up there and was acting more of a ramming device than him punching it to pieces.

On other words, hulk's durability was more important than his actual strength, especially if you are shot into space towards an object that could weigh considerably less than an actual planet. Shoot pool and you'll know what I mean.

And let me guess, dice so many people actually believe that hulk is that strong on average, the same people will say Hulk will beat up anyone that can't potentially do that(referring to his meteor crushing feat)

Oh and please stop saying Thor could beat up Hulk if he wanted to....please, that's just as bad as you say I am or Anu is, meaning that's just a cop out, if it didn't happen it's not real, and as far as I can see, Thor has lost to Hulk more than Hulk has to Thor, in the comics, movies, cartoons, and in life

[Rupertmetal]

I get what Anu is saying. Personally, I don't think the Hulk is as strong as maybe Marvel wants me to believe. Kinda like how I heard Wolverine got torn in half or his head ripped off, but the two halves connected back to together? I mean Wolverine is not Cell or Buu. Bad writing. Also, you can't move/lift a planet unless you can fly. If the Hulk does a hand stand in a park on earth how does he push the planet? Superman could cus he can push against the plant by flying into the ground. The Hulk can jump really high and come back down, but that's not a continued push.

He doesnt push planets he makes them explode with a punch

(the real World Breaker from HOTM storyline) is so powerful he destoys planets with one punch and actually causes other planets further out to begin break up from said punch. Marvel wants him strong that is strong. He tears apart reality by hand that is strong. He strength is potentially limitless and since Marvel says so his opinion is worthless.
