Is the Hulk the cheapest comic book superhero ever?

There's nothing wrong with people wanting less "fantasy" and more "science-fiction" in their comic books.
Well then superhero comics are not for them.

So who wins Hulk or Superman (most powerful version of each)? This is a question that has started many geektastic debates.
For real, how is this even up for debate? Superman and Hulk are roughly equal in strength but Superman can fly, has super speed, heat vision, etc.

Superman Vs Thor is way more interesting to discuss.

Hulks soul burns with the flames of hellfire.

What's the point of the Hulk wearing that gauntlet or whatever it is? He's, like, invincible.
 
What about Lobo?

He basically got kicked out of heaven and hell and can't die anymore. Also, if you wound him, every drop of blood spawns new clones of him. (But i think this power was removed by Vril Dox).

Yes but does any of that make him defeat The Hulk? Flying and speed are great but that proves nothing. Others have given better examples of Superman's powers.

She-Hulk likes what the kids call 'fisting' these days. Except she likes 'forearming'.

Flying and speed prove nothing? For real?

If Superman and Hulk punch equally hard but Superman can throw 1000 punches in the time it would take Hulk to throw one, he has the big advantage. Nevermind the ability to dodge any of Hulk's attacks.

Why are these superheroes even fighting each other? Aren't they good guys?
Because Hulk is an asshole.

The Hulk's not exactly slow. Strength lends itself to superior speed as well.
 
Gambit can blow up stuff with his mind? :o
I thought he just threw explosive cards.
Abilities:
Manipulation of potential energy and kinetic energy,
Hypnotic charm,
Empathy

According to Wikipedia, he has the power of empathy.

Superman can keep up with the Flash to a certain extent though, if we're talking both at their peak it would be mind boggling if hulk got a punch in at all.

Like mentioned Hulk s not exactly slow and if Superman throws 1,000 punches and all they do is get Hulk more pissed how does he win?

Superman at his best is near Wally West type of speed. Hulk is a statue in comparison.

Hulk gets knocked the fuck out?

Let's say Hulk is like that bitch of a optional boss on final fantasy X with a zillion hit points, even if supes takes like half a hit point per punch, the fact that hulk should never be able to touch him and supes can just keep a distance and eye laser if he ever gets tired of running circles around him means supes would wear him out even if it takes weeks of little scratches.
 
If we're going with the most powerful versions of each, then SA supes would maul World Breaker Hulk. If he can't outright destroy him, then he'll win via BFR (battlefield removal) by throwing him a few billion light years away.

His feats are just too ridiculous:

Already talked about The Main Man, and how bullshit it was that he lost to Wolverine in the fan voted crossover.
 
No Wally was the fastest and had more powers but Geoff Johns retconned him when he brought Barry back (though Barry was always THE SPEED FORCE ITSELF when the first Crisis ended)

like Kyle Rayner didn't have the yellow impurity of earlier Green Lanterns and had the power of all the lanterns and then became THE GODDAMN ION

then Hal Jordan came back
 
I'm so confused. I thought only Wally could lend and take speed from objects. Can both of them do that? Which Flash should I be rooting for? :o
Safe Bet said:
That's simply not true.

Superhero Comics have always been closer to science-fiction than fantasy.
But then it turns out Spider-man didn't get his powers from a radioactive bite but rather he inherited the powers when the spider passed it on to him. :(

At least he got awesome powers out of it. For a while.

The page you linked to is as mind boggling as the Ricky the rapist/Batman page I remember laughing at ever so loudly.

Spider-Man, the strongest super hero of them all (when he is bathed in red sun radiation).
I feel lucky I have avoided most of the poop I've seen on the last two pages, but having read comics since the early 90's I wonder how I did.

I think it was retconned that he took a dive for money or something.
 
I always thought Wally was the fastest Flash. I don't know what stuff Johns is churning out these days though.
 
when did hulk stop wearing ripped purple shorts and start wearing spiky armor? what's the point of the armor? protecting his ballz?

Banished to some planet by iron man and his cronies etc.
 
Don't you guys think Iron Man is just the most villainous hero ever or maybe just a gigantic oozing bag of douche and dog turd?

Now Ion's a space whale.

Behold the power of the Green Lanterns.

At least the Blue Lanters were introduced. I like the Blue Lanterns. They're the only decent alternative color. Every other color spectrum fucks you over in some emotional/physical way. The Blue Lanterns are just gimped power-wise.

That's what they want you to think.
