it's more than just powers and abilities for you. which is how it should be. I'm new in the EF but try to put effort into my writings. i'm in no way shape or form the greatest either. now i wish cannon would have had more dc issues and not just the very few he did have. it would make this match more interesting i think. but cannon was short lived for a reason apparently (pry being a hulk spin-off). but anyway thanks for the advice and i hope you tell me about my other matchesif you have any advice. criticism is the key to quality story writing.

I meant the whole concept of putting these two up against each other doesn't seem fair. They have virtually identical powers, but the Hulk is a complex and interesting character, whereas Loose Cannon is best known for being a poor ripoff of The Hulk. I'm saying that BECAUSE their powers are so similar, nobody except a rabid DC fanboy looking to hate on Marvel would vote for Loose Cannon. The match you're proposing requires erasing the Hulk's personality, history, and characterization, which are the only parts of the character anyone cares about! Proof for this statement can be found in Loose Cannon, actually- the two characters have the same powers, but one is a centerpiece of a major franchise, and the other is an "also-ran" from 1993.

In an issue of Justice League Task Force Loose Cannon punched Martian Manhunter and J'onn went flying! I might be wrong but I don't think that Hulk could hit J'onn hard enougth to do that!

Don't get any ideas Rak. You owe us another Broken Tusk match.

You owe us another Broken Tusk match.

I know I do. Problem is, I don't have much inspiration or have an idea on where the arc is going to go.

Comments galore? Loose Cannon is an awful character. He's the prototype for Jeph Loeb's actual Hulk run, which should tell you something right there. The best thing you can say about the character is that he was lucky enough to be briefly associated with Tommy Monaghan.

Kudos for picking a seldom-used DC character from the 90's, but next time go for Jack Knight or Hitman or Thessaly or someone interesting.

I agree with you wholeheartly!

Oh yes he could.

"Give me some reasons in their abilities not their character."

Absolutely not. You've reduced The Hulk, (who has occasionally been a spectacular character to read about,) to a list of powers. This tells me you think the Hulk is ABOUT having superpowers- that the major themes and motifs of The Hulk are "Super Strength" and "Invulnerability."
I'm sorry, but I am incapable of seeing storytelling in those terms. Invariable, a "who could beat up who" speculation is only worthwhile to me if both characters are interesting to begin with.

I do think people should use more obscure characters, as you've done here, I just wish they'd use good (or at least interesting) ones. How many Sentry fights has the CBUB hosted? Compare that to the number of Kid Miracleman fights. Do you understand the difference?

I don't get it, why is everyone suddenly talking about Sentry and Kid Miracleman? This is Loose Cannon vs Hulk we're talking about.
