Title: Has there ever been a fight between Iron Man and the Hulk where one of them won?
Question: I've been thinking about, and I've read spin-off stories that talk about who would win in a fight: Iron Man or the Hulk. Iron Man has technology and speed on his side, but the Hulk has brute strength and would be able to reach the height Iron Man does (as shown in the Avengers when the Hulk scales buildings as if it was nothing).  Has there ever been an answer to this?
