Hulk could beat Superman.

Superman has a reputation for being the most powerful being on Earth. Not only that, he's smart, not smarter than Dr. Bruce Banner, but definitely smarter than the Hulk. If Superman is going to win this battle, he's going to have to rely on brains over brawn, which shouldn't be too hard, considering the Hulk's intelligence level is on par with the average 5-year old. While the Hulk is just a big, strong monster, Superman is faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive. Even a nuclear explosion can't put him down for the count, so he could definitely go toe-to-toe with the Hulk and give old jade jaws a run for his money. But wait, there's more! Superman possesses a smorgasbord of abilities far beyond those of mortal men. He could use his super breath to freeze the Hulk. He could bore a hole into any planet's surface, at super speed, and bury the Hulk in it. I can think of no scenario where the Hulk could beat Superman, because Superman could always fly away before it got too dangerous. Hulk is strong and desrves his props, no doubt, but he's really not very different from Dr. Banner. Superman is an alien with god-like powers who would never let the Hulk hit him. Hulk can yell and get as angry as he wants, but Superman would still mop the floor with him. I know people would like to think that Superman wouldn't kill Hulk unless he had to. Make no mistake, if it came down do it, Superman would fly through Hulk's abdomen and rip off his head. Superman... -Able to move at 99% the speed of light -Brain function and reaction time match that speed -Super intelligence -Super strength capable of moving planets, holding black holes. In the Infinite Crisis tie in issue Supes atomized a planet and shattered the boundries of space/time with the shockwaves of his blows when he was fighting Kal-L. -Invunerability, survived the Maggedon warhead (capable of destroying half a galaxay). Survived a 700 light year blast while power depleted. -Heat vision which is so hot it can't be measured, and we know the core temp of our sun is 45 million degrees -Flash freeze opponents with freeze breath. -If he needs more power he simply takes a sun bath. What is Hulk going to do against a guy like that? While Hulk is cool, and he's hand some impressive feats he is simply not in the same league as Superman. Even Hulk's strength isn't on par with Superman's. Ok, I understand... The Hulk you proposed is the Worldbreaker who basically is just as invincible as superman. However, this debate wasn't if Superman could beat Hulk. The debate you proposed was that Hulk could beat Superman. But even if they went near red sun, Superman can feel the red sun taking energy form the moment it begins to do So and unlike hulk who would only be able to float through space, Superman could immediately fly anywhere he wanted, if Hulk was holding him and forcing him to get near to the red sun, not only would the Hulk reach the sun faster since objects of greater mass react to gravity at a faster rate[1] but Superman could use his flight itself to guide hulk ad him away (his power of flight is so much so that he could fly with hulk hugging and crushing him at the same time, he could probably fly with a whole planet tied to hi, the reason is that the mechanism of superman's flight is merely sheer willpower[2], and when he is about to die form red sun weakening he'll have one helluva power of will to fly with. The argument that hulk and him could hurtle through space and randomly come across kryptonite is just ridiculous as a justification that hulk could beat him since anywhere that Superman feels the 'burn' of kryptonite (obviously he would feel his powers weakening) then he would fly in any direction but to the kryptonite. Also, the fight begins on maybe a planet like Mars (my opponent, himself stated 'we will say that it is in Earth's solar system, logical conclusion on how these two would meet, as well as no Kryptonite since it is not a element within the solar system's spectrum) In the solar system that we are, the meeting would 99.9999% likely be on mars, since Venus would be so close to yellow sun that superman would rip Hulk in half and Mars is a barren life-less planet (as publicly announced by NASA up to August 28th 2012[3]). Kryptonite is light-years away, Superman is blatantly fast enough to fly away from the Red sun before getting there since he can fly with pure willpower. Hulk will be powerful, beat crap out of superman at every chance but superman's clamness of mind will allow him to be intelligent to an inhuman level since he himself is from a planet of beings far more powerful than humans both mentally and physically. I would like to re-explain some of superman's powers and add to the powers themselves as I have found evidence of more[4]: *RE-EXPLANATION* Superhuman Strength - While not infinite, depictions of the upper limit of how much weight he can lift have ranged from being able to do the work of several laborers in half the time, crush diamonds in his grasp, lift objects hundreds of times his own weight including any sized vehicle over his head, bend and/or break steel with his bare hands, lifting mountains, and all the way up to in the Silver Age and Modern Age where he is seen moving entire planets. After being saturated with yellow solar energy in All-Star Superman, his strength was tested as exceeding the force of 200,000,000,000,000 tons (2*10^14 tons) *NEW POWER FOUND* Healing Factor - Superman is shown to possess remarkable recuperative powers that allow him to quickly heal from wounds and makes him immune to all forms of human or Earthly diseases, illnesses, viruses and toxins. *NEW POWER FOUND* Superhuman Speed - Another one of Superman's signature abilities is his superhuman speed, allowing him to move, react, run, and fly extraordinarily fast. Originally classified as being "faster than a speeding bullet", allowing him to catch bullets in mid air before they hit him, or anyone else. Top speeds have ranged from nearly a hundred miles per hour when he was first created in the 1930s to speeds far greater than the speed of light.[5] *NEW POWER FOUND* Eidetic Memory - Superman is occasionally shown to have flawless, total recall of everything he has ever seen, read or heard. In turn, he is often depicted as being fluent in many of Earth's languages and cultures. *mini new power found, just to highlight that he's intelligent*Intelligence - Superman is consistently shown as being more intelligent than the average human.
