Is the Hulk the cheapest comic book superhero ever?

Why do authors add "force" at the end of everything? Speedforce, odinforce, darkforce, etc.

There are other words besides force!

But didn't he nearly die in Runaways because someone stole it? Anybody with enhanced speed/agility could beat him.

He almost died/lost his powers because Molly physically ripped his cloak off and IIRC the issue correctly he stammered something about that being impossible. So I doubt that merely rushing by and stealing his cloak is all that simple.

Then again LOLCOMICS. It's not like they won't do something contradictory to established canon to increase drama.
 
Anyone remember this guy?

Read the following (in this order) and the following only, then bail out.

New Avengers #7, 8, 9 & 10 are also great reads for Sentry and how he 'came back' (since the original series is about his 'disappearance').
 
Real most powerful comics character



http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?366203-Just-How-Powerful-is-Popeye

-Popeye once lifted the earth in one of the Fleischer shorts that was spoofing Greek Mythology.

-He dog paddled an island that both he and Olive Oyl were stranded on back to the mainland.

-With a lasso, he pulled the Grand Canyon together just so he could reach Bluto on the other side

-He knocked a comet that would have destroyed the earth into tiny bits.

-He punched Bluto so hard, Bluto hit the full moon, which was blown apart so that only a crescent was left

-He pulled the moon closer to earth

-He stopped a martian invasion by punching the fleet all the way back to Mars.

- He pulled the world's continents back together again with only a lasso.

-He knocked Bluto so hard, Bluto broke through the time stream and deaged into an infant

-He knocked Bluto so hard, he destroyed the constellations and altered the night sky.

-He lassoed the sun and pulled it up just so the morning would come quicker.

-He blew the sun out like a candle so he could get some private time with Olive Oyl.

-In an episode spoofing Exodus where he played Moses, he got tired of waiting for God and parted the Red Sea himself.

-He becomes a master of any discipline after taking spinach. He led a twenty man band, where he was the band himself, became a master musician, master sculptor, brilliant scientist, and a master magician.

-Taking spinach renders him immune to magic. Bluto once tried to turn him into a frog, but he punched the spell back at Bluto. Also Zeus tried to zap Popeye with a lightning bolt, but Popeye punched it back at him, thus defeating Zeus by frying him.

-Popeye can ressurect himself from the dead with spinach. His nephews force fed some to his lifeless body. Popeye's soul returned to his body, which got up and proceeded to beat the crap out of Bluto.

-Popeye resisted being wiped out of existence by an animator. His pipe was fed spinach, Popeye willed himself back, and then he beat up the animator. Which brings me to...

-Popeye can break the 4th wall. A real boy in the movie audience threw some spinach into the screen to Popeye. Popeye got up and hit Bluto so hard, Bluto was knocked into the real world. So Superboy Prime's not the only one punching holes into reality. Hmmm, I wonder if the explains the discrepancy between Bluto and Brutus.

-Popeye can resist mind control after eating spinach. An evil hypnotist hypnotized Popeye into thinking he was a chicken. Popeye ate some spinach, snapped out of it, and then counter hypnotized the hypnotist into thinking he was a baby.

-Popeye once ate an entire field of spinach to repel a Martian Invasion. He punched through a Martian disentegration beam, grabbed a flying saucer, threw it like a frisbee, and made it ricochet off the entire Martian invasion fleet like a pin ball. After all the Martian ships crashed, the ensuing explosion spelled the word "TILT" across the skyline.

-Popeye has ran down Bluto, on foot, while Bluto was speeding away in a racecar in an attempt to kidnap Olive Oyl.

-Popeye has ran down, and ran past (on numerous occasions), a speeding locomotive to save Olive Oyl, who was tied to the tracks, from being ran over. On one occasion, rather than untying her, he punched the speeding train and turned it into a pipe organ.

-Popeye singlehandedly laid track for a speeding train and punched through mountains to make tunnels for the train so that it could get to it's destination near the coal mines.

-Popeye has leaped into the air and punched out fighter jets in mid flight.

-Popeye can fly like a fighter jet by spinning his pipe like a propelor and sticking out his arms like wings. When provoked, Popeye can use his pipe as a jet engine propelling himself through the air at mach speeds, even launching himself into space. Popeye can also survive re-entry and falls from sub-orbital heights.

-Popeye has punched fast enough to deflect hundreds of rounds of machine gun fire at close range with his bare fists.

-Popeye has chewed up steel beams and spit the metal out as bullets, nails, and rivets.

-Popeye on numerous occasions has punched people and accompanying objects into cages, cabins, tents, tepees, stuffed animals, toys, etc. On one occasion Popeye was attacked by a Giant Octopuss while he was diving for pearls. Popeye punched the octopuss and turned it into a Merry-Go-Round.

- During WWII, Popeye punched out a fleet of German battleships into individual cages to imprison over 100 Nazi soldiers. Popeye also punched through the gunfire of 10 Nazi fighter jets, in mid air, and punched the planes to splinters that formed a fence and imprisoned the pilots as they landed with their parachutes. He also got a medal of honor from Eisenhower.

-During WW II Popeye once turned out all the lights in his hometown for a bomb raid in a matter of seconds.

-Popeye once punched an enraged Giant King Kong-esque Gorilla into 3 separate monkeys, each covering their ears, eyes, and mouth (hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil) respectively.

-Popeye punched out a giant Moby Dick-esque sperm whale and held it in one hand like a baby as it was dazed.

-Popeye once punched a mountain into a hill because it was blocking his view.

-Popeye once lifted up and bodyslammed the 40 story building Olive Oyl's apartment was in so that her floor was at street level and he could move her piano in.

-Popeye once walked a tight rope while carrying a refrigerator, a wardrobe, a bathtub, a baby in a baby carriage, Olive Oil, and Wimpy (eating a burger).

-Popeye once punched through super hypnosis vision from a Persian Magician, then punched the guy and his flying carpet turning them into a bazaar with rugs for sale.

-While in Old Russia, Popeye punched through hypnosis vision and spells cast by Rasputin, then Popeye proceded to punch Rasputin through the Kremlin which formed a jail around Rasputin.

-Popeye once punched through magic spell bolts cast at him by a Genie Bluto had used to grant him three wishes. Popeye then punched out Bluto and punched the Genie back into the lamp before tossing the lamp into the horizon.

-Popeye survived having a battle ship dropped on him by Bluto.

-Popeye survived being shot point blank in the face with a cannonball by Pirate Blackbeard.

-Popeye survived being ran over and point blank cannon fire from a Sherman tank, and then proceded to punch the tank into an oven and water heater.

-In Egypt Popeye once punched a Mummy into bedsheets hanging from a clothesline (there was no clothesline before the punch).

-Popeye has punched aligators, dinosaurs, and mad bulls into full sets of leather luggage.

-Popeye has punched a lion into a leopard skin fur coat. (and no, that's not a typo, he punched a lion into leopard skin).

-Popeye punched out a fire breathing dragon.

-Popeye as a lumberjack chopped down a whole state full of redwood trees with his bare fists.

-Popeye once jumped up and punched the man in the moon in the eye after Olive Oyl snubbed him for Bluto and the moon was laughing at his misfortune.

yeah, haven't seen him since though right? speaking of, have the gems/gauntlet come up since that new avengers run with hood?
Click to expand...
I'm not sure they have, but I honestly stopped reading after the shitty children art of Avengers post-Seige. What the fuck was that, I couldn't take it. Plus the boring storyline, but that was the last straw.

I suppose it's gotten better now, so I should probably catch up. Secret Avengers, New Avengers, The Avengers, i'm behind in all that after the 'Heroic Age' started..

And yeah, no one knows who that kid really was? Weird..

It's really not so bad. They bring out the big guns every so often, but what ever Galactus is doing hardly ever affects what Spider-Man is doing. And besides, you can still read what you want.

I haven't seen much Gundam, but if the metal cannot be destroyed, wouldn't that mean Gundams are invincible?

Where's the tension in that?
 
Its been said earlier but Kyle Rayner as ION .


Its very simple.


Hal Jordan took almost all the central battery power and with it was able to remake time/space basicly rebooting the world.

Later on he gave his life to restart the sun and destroy a sun eater. His power stayed in the sun.


At one point kyle while sleeping created oblivion who was a being almost as powerful as Jordan. After Kyle defeated him the power found Jordan's power and just stayed in the sun growing and growing.

kyle then takes control of the power becoming a god. He can be in multiple places at the same time . At one point he is every where on a planet making sure there is no war or agression while chilling on earth sleeping with Jade and making africa fertile again and of course reducing crime here so drasticly that superman sits on the count watching tv.

There's 10 guys that can take him out, no problem. He's not OP in the slightest.

The Surfer MAY be more powerful than the hulk, but his power level depends on how much Galactus gives him.
Click to expand...

They fought in Planet Hulk. But the Surfer's power really depends on who's writing him. He once killed two beings more powerful than Galactus (nearly died).

If Hulk can't fly why can't someone levitate him in mid-air?

Like say in the Avengers movie, why not make a cage above a turbine with air being forced upwards that perfectly counter-acts Hulk's weight. I mean, they can make a damn carrier fly. This way he never touches the ground and cannot touch anything.

Reed, Dr.Strange, Prof X, Tony Stark, and Blackbolt already launch him into space toward and uninhabited planet.

Planet Hulk was an amazing animated movie. But seriously, why can't this be a permanent solution. Ok Banner, into the hover cell you go.

Edit: And its not like Hulk can't find a solution (putting him in any sort of atmosphere will allow him to super clap etc) I'm just curious as to how this has been specifically addressed.
 
From yesterday I read non-stop all the 55 pages of this thread.

It was worth it.


And let's be honest, almost every popular character became so powered up that's basically broken.

It's true!

I don't remember how long they were there, but for a long time a group of supervillains built a miniature transporter hub that not only shrunk villains but teleported them inside Superman's brain. It was lined with lead so it couldn't be detected. They would remove the lead lining from time to time to expose him to Kryptonite, and he almost died from it. The Kryptonite was eventually sold, but Superman captured some of the criminals thanks to the Legion of Superheroes

probably because the temporary peace is worth the hassle of a pissed off worldbreaker coming back and ruining shit.

It was pretty serious. Superman was oozing green blood from his eyes and ears and nose and mouth

Superman once got cancer from Kryptonite. Luthor DIED from Kryptonite poisoning because the doofus wore it on his hand for several years. Fortunately, he had a clone body

Also to add to the list of beings:

Living Tribunal
Death
Rot
Eternity
Infinity
Sentry


along with:

Anyone possessed by the Phoenix Force
Anyone possessing the Infinity Gauntlet
Anyone possessing the Ultimate Nullifier


All of these are more powerful beings than a maxed out Hulk.

yeah, i was intentionally avoiding those since op had asked about heroes. that whole abstract tier (Chaos, Order, In-Betweener, Love, Hate, Death, Eternity, Infinity, possibly the celestials) have infinite power and are totally unkillable.

There's a few villains I intentionally left out also- like Michael Korvac, Surtur, Tyrant, Ego the Living Planet, Shuma-Gorath, Abraxas...that are only really killable via plot devices.

If we stick to just earth based villains, theres a couple that are COMPLETELY broken but rarely show up, or are just nerfed by writers for no reason. Absorbing Man should never lose to anyone, ever. His secret weakess is his own idiocy. Graviton has full control over gravity, with no real limits. This dude rides asteroids for fun, throws skyscrapers around like they're nothing, and rearranged the continents into the shape of his own face just because he could. Maelstrom had total control over/ absorption of kinetic energy- so powerful he turned himself into an abstract being.

There's TONS of these dudes floating around that don't really get much use or HAVE to be nerfed because of how broken they are.

Why not just send him into space towards nothing? The odds of him hitting anything would be nearly zero, space is mostly empty.

Because they didn't want to kill him, they were sending him towards a planet that had no intelligent life but plenty of game and vegetation to eat so he could live out his life in peace.

They didn't want to kill him (which is what sending him towards "nothing" would have amounted to) they just wanted him out of the way and not killing people by accident.

Ironically, this is what happened anyway since the shuttle went off course, through a wormhole and into a completely different area of space- hitting an occupied planet anyway. Apparently marvel space isn't as empty as real space.

In addition, powerful beings tend to attract attention (there's a power called "cosmic awareness" that does exactly this) - even if you sent him floating off into blank space, someone would have found him.

oh i see!

Yea, lots of potential OP ridiculousness. It's definitely up to the writer's mood.
 
What if another person went through the same thing Dr. Manhattan did to get his powers, and there were two Dr. Manhattans? Could one fully destroy the other?
 
Dr. Manhattan is energy and he can reassemble himself, it was the first thing he needed to do to even become Dr. Manhattan

I wonder if Bubastis could reassemble.
