In a Fight Without Prior Preparation, Superman Would Beat The Incredible Hulk (Modern Incarnations)

Battle Strategies I am confident that everyone reading this is familiar with the powers of these two characters, so allow me to jump right into the battle strategies that Superman could utilize against the Hulk. 1. Calm Him Pro may not be aware of this, but these characters have already fought. Superman won. http://tinyurl.com...... http://tinyurl.com...... http://tinyurl.com...... http://tinyurl.com...... http://tinyurl.com...... http://tinyurl.com...... http://tinyurl.com...... http://tinyurl.com...... Hulk punches Superman into the next county before either is familiar with the other's power level. After that, even a fully enraged Hulk couldn't make Superman budge. Supes just stood there, absorbing each blow while perfectly calm. So calm, in fact, that he has time to formulate a plan, move faster than the Hulk can see, and then gain his trust with a few words, all while Hulk is attacking Superman with everything he's got. This clearly demonstrates that not only is Superman stronger, faster, and smarter than his opponent, but he also knows just what to do and say to transform Hulk back into a human. Pro loses the debate right here. Still, to be sporting, here are a few other ways Superman could easily dispatch the Hulk. 2. Pummel Him I've already established that the Hulk's punches mean nothing to Superman. This is a guy who took the full blast of a supernova and was "dazed for a micro-second" (http://tinyurl.com......). Now that Superman's familiar with his power level, there is nothing Hulk could do to hurt him. Not to mention, Hulk would never lay a finger on the guy if Superman didn't want him to. Superman can think and react at faster than light speeds, meaning that he can see any punch from the Hulk coming a mile away and either catch it (http://tinyurl.com......), avoid it (http://tinyurl.com......), or vibrate his molecules so fast that it would phase right through him (http://tinyurl.com......). Superman, though, could knock the Hulk out in less than a second. Here are a few Superman highlights that show the difference in their strength levels: Holding a black hole in one hand - http://tinyurl.com...... Pulling a dozen planets on a chain with ease - http://tinyurl.com...... Destroying an entire solar system with a sneeze - http://tinyurl.com...... Breaking the face of a Doomsday clone in one punch - http://tinyurl.com...... It is clear that Hulk, whose most impressive feat of strength so far is holding up a mountain, is simply outclassed. 3. Fry Him Marvel has a character named Gladiator, who is essentially a weaker version of Superman [1]. Observe this clash between Gladiator and Hulk (http://tinyurl.com......). Gladiator"s eye beams tear away Hulk"s skin and begin burning his organs, and Hulk admits that he will die if he doesn"t stop them. Now, there are three reasons why Superman would be successful where Gladiator failed. First, Superman"s heat vision is stronger. Gladiator"s eye beams are assumed to be hotter than a star, but Superman"s are confirmed to be so hot that science cannot measure them (http://tinyurl.com......). Note as he completely incinerates an entire army of Doomsdays in one blast (http://tinyurl.com......). Destroying Hulk with an equivalent blast would be simple. Second, Gladiator"s powers are based on his current level of confidence; the less confidence he has in himself and his victory, the weaker he becomes. At that point in the battle, Hulk had beaten him bloody, meaning those lethal eye beams were actually much weaker than normal. Thirdly, and most importantly, Gladiator was about 10 feet away from the Hulk when he unleashed his attack. This allowed Hulk to walk right over and stop him. Superman, who has engaged Hulk in battle before, would know to attack from a greater distance. A few hundred miles away, perhaps (http://tinyurl.com......). Maybe even a few hundred thousand (http://tinyurl.com......). Either way, Hulk would be incinerated before he knew what was happening. 4. Toss him Speaking of space, hurling Hulk out of orbit would probably be the quickest and easiest way to dispose of the beast. Moving faster than Hulk can see, let alone react, Superman could simply grab him and throw him toward the sun. He could even freeze him first for good measure (http://tinyurl.com......). Fight over. Summary The Hulk doesn't stand a chance here. Not only is Superman stronger, he is faster, smarter, more durable, can fly, can shoot fire from his eyes and ice from his mouth, can phase through punches, etc. etc. Hulk brings nothing to the table in this fight. He's simply out of his league.
