The great superhero debate: Marvel vs. DC

HULK SMASH!!!! Alright, now that I have gotten that out of my system, we can begin. ROUND FIVE: HULK (Robert Bruce Banner) vs SUPERMAN (Kal-El)" Bruce Banner was a scientist who was working on a gamma bomb when he noticed teenager Rick Jones out on the test range. Although he rushed out into the test site and heroically pushed the boy into the protective trench to save him from the blast, Bruce was exposed to extreme amounts of gamma radiation that altered his DNA structure due to gamma rays and trauma passed down by his Father and caused him to become a giant green (at first grey) monster of incredible power whenever he starts to get angry. With his girlfriend Betty Ross seemingly being to be the only person to calm the Hulk back into Banner and often being pursued by his nemesis Thunderbolt Ross who is also Betty's Father, Bruce is often on the run while trying to find a cure for his problem and keep calm as much as he can while at the same time battling supervillians."TOOLS AND WEAPONS:Most of the gadgets if not all of the gadgets mentioned have been designed and used by only Bruce Banner and not the Hulk. Bruce Banner has designed the following gadgets:-A mentally controlled operating system.-Gamma and Old power fueled shields.-A pocket-sized teleporter-Scanners that scan everyone within 50 feet of him.-A suit that allows banner to survive harsh environments- A taser that runs on old power that is so powerful it is measured on the Richter scale.Impressive eh? These weapons and tools were designed by a genius. They have worked and have proven that Bruce is not a defenseless nerd contrary to beliefs. ABILITIES: 'There ain't many around who can describe what it feels like to get hit by the Hulk. Simple fact bein' there ain't many around who can survive to tell the tale. There ain't no pain at first. It's like he hits ya so damn hard ya actually leave yer own body. It's when ya come back that ya feel the pain. An' ya realize yer goin' toe-to-toe with a walkin' earthquake." -WolverineI hope we all know that the Hulk is not always the Hulk. The transition from Banner-To-Hulk is caused by adrenaline. As with all humans our bodies generate adrenaline in times of fear, anger, stress and rage. This is where things start to become abnormal. The adrenaline stimulates the heart which enhances physical abilities for normal humans. But instead of better reflexes and sight Bruce's body triggers a chemical reaction that transforms him into the Hulk that we all know and love. Depending on the amount of adrenaline produced a transformation could last from 5 seconds to 5 minutes. Now, before you type "Attack him before he turns!" That will simply anger Bruce, and I think you all know what happens next.After the transformation comes the powers. Super-Strength is at the top. Fun fact: The Hulk's strength has no limits. He has no strength class. " The Hulk possesses the capacity for virtually limitless physical strength, In fact, upon actually measuring his raw potential, the omnipotent Beyonder stated outright that the Hulk's strength is intrinsically limitless, an infinity with no finite element inside. However, each of the primary Hulk's personalities possess a base strength level."As the Hulk gets angrier his strength grows and grows and grows. As his strength grows so does his capabilities. In the World War Hulk event he took down the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Avengers, Black Bolt, Doctor Strange, Many military vehicles, tanks, planes and tanks, Iron Man, and the Sentry with minimal help. Manhattan also took a beating. I can't really expand any more. The Hulk is the strongest one there is. The Hulk is much more then green muscles, his durability is incredible."This invulnerability extends to the optic system since bullets, grenade shrapnel, Hawkeye's arrows, and even Valkyrie's enchanted blade Dragonfang did not penetrate nor damage it. The Hulk is able to withstand high caliber bullets, powerful energy blasts, pressures extremes, falls from orbital heights, maximized heat without blistering, maximized cold without freezing, and also powerful impacts. The Hulk has withstood several times the impact of ground zero nuclear explosions, the Human Torch's Nova Blast,with a maximum temperature of one million degrees Fahrenheit, and the crushing pressures of 100Gs without suffering any damage or harm. In fact, when the Maestro's Dog O' War, a robot claimed to be able to crush adamantium in its jaws in 7.3 seconds, had the Hulk's exposed neck in its jaws, it was unable to even lacerate his skin before being ripped apart.The Hulk was also capable to withstand a planet-devastating impact,a planet-shattering impact at point blank range."How about that. The Hulk is really strong and really tough. However if the Hulk is hurt he has a healing factor that will allow him to recover very quickly from many forms of attacks. Along with his strength his healing factor increases in speed and efficiency with anger, making his healing factor pretty much incalculable. He is also immune to all earth diseases. " For all intents and purposes the Hulk lives indefinitely. Because of his healing factor that regenerates his cells, and because of the properties of gamma energy that empowers him, Hulk has an extended lifespan. A possible future persona, the Maestro, was in his physical prime despite being more than one hundred years old.[261] In another alternate future it is implied that the Hulk's body effectively lasts forever."There you have it. Super strength, super durability and possible immortality? I wish there was more! But there is more.Other powers include super speed where he can "run like a tornado" , super stamina, and gamma energy manipulation. There. Wow, I still have a lot to write.OTHER:Well, there are many forms of the Hulk so why not cover them all?Savage Hulk form- Ah, the Hulk we all know and love. The most common Hulk who is incredibly strong but has the mental capacity of a five year old. He claims to want to be left alone but in reality he just can't understand why everyone is attacking him. Grey Hulk- The original Hulk. Unlike his savage side he is quite intelligent but not nearly as strong. However this gives him an advantage as this Hulk is very cunning and can formulate a strategy that is not just "Smashing". This Hulk seems to enjoy suits and other things that Savage would not care about.Gravage Hulk- Now this is a Hulk I would not want to face. The smashing of savage, the genius of Grey. These two mixed together are a combo that few can stop, and for good reason. Just imagine, a Hulk that smashes your teeth straight out of your mouth yet can beat you at chess with his eyes closed! The Green Scar- This is where things get ugly for superman. Imagine this. You are the Gravage Hulk and you just realized that you are trapped in a space shuttle. A video is playing with four of your friends explaining why they had to exile you. You have saved the puny humans many times and this is how you get rewarded? With exile. Would you feel betrayed? Angry? Hurt? Seeking for revenge? That is what makes the Green Scar so deadly. Now think about this. You have just overthrown the tyrannical Red King of Sakaar and now you are being crowned as king. How would you celebrate your first day? Play some games? Listen to music? Go for a walk? The Hulk spent seven hours sitting on his throne and allowing himself to be eaten by the poor and hungry spikes. SEVEN HOURS. He just sat there getting having his flesh consumed. The durability that comes with the anger sure helps. The planet you united and ruled just got flattened by an explosion? Angrier. Your friend just revealed his betrayal? Boiling point. You are attacked even more? World wide earthquake. This is truly the ultimate hulk and I would love to see Superman try to contend with such incalculable rage. Wow. What a debate. Thank you so much for accepting.VOTE MARVEL!!!
