Lex Luthor(Warsuit) vs Ironman(Hulk buster)

Lex wins on agility alone.The Hulk buster lack speed and mobility he'll be a sitting duck compared to Lex's warsuit.

Brainiac vs Apocalypse

Brainiac wins by hacking Apocalypse techno organic body and shuts off essential systems.

Luthor-in-suit vs Hulkbuster-Iron Man -- To my memory, Luthor's alien armor makes him strong enough to take on Supes but Supes nevertheless always defeats it. Meanwhile, HB helped Stark fight Hulk to a standstill. I'm of the opinion that Hulk could take out Supes. So. Armor which can't defeat Superman vs armor which can fight Hulk to a draw. I'm going with Hulkbuster.

Brainiac vs Apocalypse -- this never should have been a tie. Brainiac's just as outclassed in a tie breaker as he was in the initial match.

Thor vs Green Lantern -- I can't envision ANY single Lantern taking out Thor.

@ loud, no way hulk beats superman, hes got too many abilities for hulk to deal with as well as being stronger than him, til he gets "madder" of course

^^ Superman is not stronger than Hulk. Unless you're taking about Pre-Crisis Superman.

You see that's the problem with Superman (and Hulk but to a far lesser degree) there is like 50 versions of them. It really depends on which version you use.


Like most powerful versions:
Pre-crisis Superman vs Worldbreaker Hulk. Would be a good fight, but Superman takes a good majority.

Or original versions:
Original grey 50-ton level Hulk vs original 2-ton level Superman, who can't fly either. Hulk murder stomps.

Or current versions:
New 52 Superman vs Indestructible Hulk. I'd call a draw because they're too even.

Or the classic version:
Classic Hulk vs Classic Superman, old Superman has struggled against the likes of Grundy whom I might add isn't as strong as classic Hulk. In fact, Grundy has given Superman a run for his money many times. Grundy disproves the dumb argument that you have to be a super speedster in order to give Superman a good fight. Getting off topic here, but classic/iconic Hulk is stronger than Superman.

How does he have too many abilities for him to deal with, when he's fought and won against people who have the exact same power set as Superman (Gladiator) as well as some who are more powerful than Superman (Sentry)???


even though Superman does have super speed, he doesn't go around speed blitzing people now does he?
Superman heat vision and freeze breath would honestly have no effect on Hulk. Superman MIGHT (notice I say "might") be a tad stronger than base Hulk. But he's always pulling punches, as is Hulk but not quite as much. Plus, the fact that Hulk's strength grows overtime. If Superman's only true advantage is his speed.

People underrate/overrate these two specific characters due to the fact that they are both wildly inconsistent. But, IMO the traditional iconic versions. Hulk is the more likely to win. Although circumstances would allow for a win for either, seeing as they are dead even.

How does War suit Lex vs Hulk buster Ironman turn into Superman vs Hulk?Stay on topic people.

PS Superman often blitzes opponents regularly when knocked far back or when arriving on scene against an opponent who can take it.

Well I'll guess I'll go little off topic as well.Basic iconic Superman is well into the megaton range while Hulk starting level is 75-90 but increases as he gets angry.Their first fight might go to Hulk if Supes fails to realize that Hulk's strength increases the madder he get,but every fight onward would always fall to Supes as he would now now how hard to hit him before he gets to powerful to deal with.

relentless -- sometimes I think you disagree with me out of nothing more than spite. Hulk most definitely WOULD beat Superman. There's nothing in Fenix's post above that I haven't said countless times already on the subject, but since you won't listen to me, maybe you'll listen to him.

certainly not out of spite, but when i see something i disagree with ill say it, anyways i even said i think that hulk would get stronger than superman when he gets angry but i also believe that superman would quickly realize that hed have to take it up a notch to bust hulk up and he would do so seeing as hes no slouch in the thinking department, hed go all out and i would bet at that point that hed be able to knock hulk out, even if he didnt hed knock him into space and then the fight would be over either way

@Unknownfacts
Iconic Hulk was in the megaton range as well. Iconically, you wouldn't see either one lifting anything bigger than a mountain or skyscraper. It wasn't until they started trying to out do each other in a "my dad is bigger than your dad" type of power escalation.

The iconic Hulk was slightly physically superior to the iconic Superman. Although Superman would have the edge in speed. And no he doesn't generally go around blitzing people because he's a good guy. Even if he did speed blitz Hulk, Hulk is durable enough to take the punishment. (not to mention his hf is better than Wolverine's) Freeze breath would do nothing. While Heat Vision might slow him down for a bit. Hulk has survived Gladiator's heat vision which was 2x hotter than the sun (same as how Superman's heat vision was described) so I don't see him having trouble there.

@Relentless
I don't get the "knock him into space" argument. I'm not talking about just you, I mean I've heard it everywhere. Potentially either one could knock the other into space. Because Superman is far beyond class 100, Hulk weighs 1 ton. So Superman COULD send him into space. But at the same time, Hulk is class 100 and Superman weighs like 240 lbs. So potentially Hulk can send him into orbit too. I've just never understood how that argument works.
GuardianDevil
GuardianDevil - 5/22/2013, 2:13 PM
Superman would win barely if he made full use of his speed. He isn't stronger, but pretty even. And if he went all out, he would strike more blows than Hulk would. And would eventually win, even though it would still be difficult.
AnungUnRama
AnungUnRama - 5/22/2013, 3:53 PM
@Fenix: Not taking a side with this statment, just answering your question: I think the "punch/kick/send someone into space means that if someone who is not capeable of flight (e. g. Hulk) is sent into space he is immobilized and hence loses a fight. As Hulk cannot fly he would just float in space unable to do anything against his opponent (no thunderclap without air, no hulk smash without ground) Superman on the otherside if punched into orbit - as he can fly - can just fly back to the fight even using gravity to his advantage.
AnungUnRama
AnungUnRama - 5/22/2013, 3:57 PM
Btw: Megaton range? Supes would lought at such a weak opponent. Superman is capeable of lifting some hundred quintillion tons (Superman allstar) or even about 6 hextillion tons in the new 52. It would take Hulk a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooog time to get even close to that.

Superman is stronger then the Hulk.Supes starts in the megaton range while Hulk has to get angry enough to reach the megaton level.As far as durable enough to take the punishment,Namor knocked out the Hulk nuff said.Add all that to the fact that Hulk is as sharp as a ballpoint pen and Superman's near lightspeed movements.It would seem that this fight would favor Supes more then Hulk.

The only time Hulk would be a threat to Superman is the first fight until Supes realize that the madder Hulk gets the stronger he gets.Every fight after that would go to Superman as he would know what to do to take down Hulk.

@Anung
All star Superman isn't even canon. New 52 Superman' greatest feat was benching the weight of a planet. Hulk has also crushed a planet. So I don't see how he's stronger. The only version of Superman that is stronger than Hulk is Pre Crisis Superman.

@Unknown
Still how do you get that the iconic Superman is stronger than the iconic Hulk?? The iconic Superman couldn't lift a planet, he could lift mountains and skyscrapers which is the same strength as Hulk. But Hulk can get stronger.

You see that's why we are arguing, because we are talking about different things. We are arguing about who's stronger, when you really can't tell because Superman's strength changes like every month. Pre Crisis version is stronger than Hulk, New 52 is his equal. Classic is inferior physically.

You're trying to be smart. But you're taking feats out of context, and misinterpreting them to suit your cause.

Iirc Namor was in the water, Marvel has said on multiple occasions that underwater Namor's strength is unmatchable.

Besides Hulk has taken harder hits from tougher opponents than Namor, he's taken a full blown Mjolnir from Thor and still kept going.

Thor full bore with Mjolnir KO'd Namor.

fenix122, I suggest not carrying on this debate. Bro, I actually been a lurker here for a long time. Even back since the old battles, unknown fax is a DC fanboy who doesn't know jack shit about the Marvel characters. He claims to, but doesn't. Just look at his track record, he thinks Batman can beat Iron Man for Pete's sake. He aready proves he cant be reasonable, so I suggest you dont try an reason with em.

JuggyPunch - 5/22/2013, 4:47 PM
anung un rama, unknown fact. You guys are perfectly demonstrating the two reasons why I am mad at DC comics, because the character powers change every damn week, and it's fans are unreasonable and narrow minded. Bravo! ;) you guys are takin things outta context. New 52 or all star or pre crisis aren't most iconic.

@fenix122

What I'm getting at is Hulk starts of weaker but has the potential to match Superman,but it would take a while before that happens.Once Superman learns what feul the Hulk's strength then he's no match for Superman.While it maybe 50/50 I put my money on brain beating brawn every day of the week.

@JuggyPunch
That match was with prep time and everyone knows thats Batman's specialty.This has always been my point of view on these match up.I'm not trying to change peoples opinions.I'm sorry for not excepting PIS and inconsistent as answer's for a characters feat and/or power levels.It just it's a fictional universe where every thing in it is PIS and inconsistent.

Juggypunch called himself a "lurker" HA!

I too read without responding just to see how the discussion is going etc. As I'm coming in on the tail end of the discussion most are done and gone but from what I am reading there are a few points I need to make.

"stronger" doesn't necessarily means they hit with the greatest amount of Force. Hulk gets "stronger when he gets madder" but the amount of velocity stays relatively the same. Superman can move much faster than the Hulk so F= MA or Force = Mass x Acceleration then given that Superman can move exponentially faster than the Hulk means he can hit harder.
Anung is correct in stating that if Superman puts Hulk into space and he is just floating, while hulk probably won't die, (unless he can calm down to go back to banner) he can't move. Unless he gets to an asteroid/satellite/moon/comet etc he will be essentially motionless or will remain along the same path and velocity that Superman put him there on. So at that point, he is incapacitated and thus losses. Superman as Anung pointed out is self propelled, he can fly and isn't hindered.
For those reasons Superman can defeat Hulk all other reasons aside.

For this battle, I do think Iron man would win.
Apocalypse and Thor.
LoudLon
LoudLon - 5/23/2013, 12:57 PM
You guys are almost acting like Hulk is a pantywaist when calm. Calm Hulk is in the 70-ton range, but even then he's pretty much indestructible. And the instant he turns angry he launches to Class 100. He's been struck full-on by guys like Thor, Juggernaut and Thing while calm only to instantly turn around and knock the tar out of them. That's the key word, "instantly." There's no gradual growth from 70-ton to Class 100. It's only AFTER he launches to Class 100 that there's a lag time as he grows stronger, but even then it doesn't take long. So Superman would most definitely get in the first few hits, but Hulk would quickly catapult to his level. This kind of thing has been shown time and time again in the comics, and if all the pro-Superman guys actually had a working knowledge of Hulk, they'd know this. The only exception I can think of is when Doc Samson knocked out calm Hulk with a sucker punch, which was laughable. Especially considering they'd just been fighting, Hulk had been hammering Samson around like crazy, Samson was exhausted and Hulk was JUST returning to a calm state. I love John Byrne's work from the 80s but that was a total lapse in logic on his part.

Another thing to consider is that Bruce Banner has to become angry to turn into Hulk in the first place, so the instant he transforms he's already in the Class 100 range, because he's already angry. Calm Hulk comes later. So if Supes had half a brain he'd wait until Hulk was calm, THEN attack. But even then, the first hit would send Hulk right back to angry level, and after a couple more Hulk would go into full-on beserker mode, and that's when Supes would realize he's bitten off WAY more than he can chew.

unknownfacts - 5/24/2013, 4:15 AM
All our Hulk vs Superman arguments are moot seeing as how neither is on the fight ballet.This argument should be whether an alien warsuit can beat a Stark tech suit design to fight the Hulk.Either way it really doesn't matter as all of these match ups are based on their fictional feats.Which at the end of the day defies all logic anyway.

PS Not trying to start an argument just stating my opinion on this matter.

You see this is where I start to wonder.......and and seriously doubt that you've ever even read Marvel. Because you clearly don't have any kind of a firm grip on what these characters are capable of.

You say Batman can beat Iron Man because "prep is his speciality" if you had ever read Iron Man comics, (which I doubt) you would know that Iron Man has shown prep feats far and away from anything Batman has ever accomplished. And that Iron Man is a prep master too, and has shown far better prep feats than Batman.

You say Hulk isn't durable enough to take a blow from Superman, because Hulk was KO'd by Namor. But if you had ever read that comic, you would know Namor was in the water. And in the water his strength is literally unmatchable.

Classic Superman couldn't lift anything bigger than a skyscraper of mountain. Classic Hulk was already angered at transformation and could lift things at the same weight. But, could get stronger. Classic Superman isn't stronger than Classic Hulk, anyone who's had a good reading of both would know that. Even if he was, it wouldn't take Hulk long to reach the level of lifting mountains and skyscrapers.

You constantly downplay all the abilities of the Marvel characters, due to the fact that you most likely have never read Marvel comics. Because you clearly don't know what their abilities are.
