Why does it stop at the immortal?

Stops at Hulk (who should be last on the list).

C'mon, you know better than that.

Clears or stops at Hyperion (Marvels 2nd Superman clone)

I have a feeling that Ben is about to get a nice boost. As for this thread, several characters are in the wrong order. Hercules should be able to stalemate with the most recent depiction of He-Man, Thor would win, The Hulk would win, Hyperion would win, and the rest would be soundly defeated. Some worse than others. As I said before about Ben, I have a gut feeling that some changes are in store for him in the near future. I could be wrong, but...

Herc is skilled in h2h and hits hard enough to drop him.

Classic He-Man could clear. Maybe immortal Herc, maybe Hulk, maybe Hyperion could beat him. But I wouldn't bet against Prince Adam. He was "the strongest their is" before Hulk tried to steal the term from him. And he was always as strong as he needed to be.

Current He-Man, who knows.

His durability is fairly questionable though...

Yes and no. I'm actually one of the ones that perpetuated this argument on KMC, back when He-Man was a half-remembered 80's cartoon and no one had actual scans of him. When goober and I made the HM respect thread, it was the first time 80% of the forum wasn't just talking out of their ass.

He has more suspect durability showings than the others, true. But so does PC Supes, for example. Yet he'd run a train on this gauntlet. Now, I don't mention that because I'm going to talk about the fight against PC Supes (biggest non-feat in history on both sides, and worthless in a vs. context). But because the era he was from had more inherent PIS variability.

If we want to hold that against him, he probably loses a majority to 3/4 of this list. But he's also stronger than anyone on this list except perhaps the best versions of Hulk.

So... srug

The Hulk has always been the strongest one there is in terms of ownership of that slogan. He Man is a young character in comparison, unless you're going to tell me that he appeared in comics before his 1980's cartoon debut. Prince Adam (He-Man) has no real competition on Eternia because he has guys like Beast Man to kick around. What do you Think Thor would do to those guys?

Hulk fan-wank is almost strong enough for you to be right these days. Still, as a walking strength plot device, even Big Green is behind in comparison to what Adam used to do. When "strong as he needs to be for any given challenge" is literally written into your power set (or was, at least), and the power source is a multiversal nexus, I think even Hulk's roids fall a bit flaccid.

Now, an argument could be made for Hulk > Adam in durability. And therein lies the debate. Or speed, with someone like Hyperion (though HM had bullet-time feats, minimum).

I don't have a He-Man dur smilie. So, conceded I guess.

Not talking about literal ownership, but portrayal. Until about a decade ago, this wasn't even a contest. The absurdity Hulk fans are used to these days used to be sole property of He-Man, but in an era that could more willingly accept obvious violations of logic for the sake of plot.

Thor would win with Mjolnir. I think he has no chance H2H against He-Man. If you know how big a Thor fan I am, you know I don't say that lightly.

The few He Man comics I've read, plus your respect thread, points to Adam having a good shot in this thread.

We're going to have to get a He Man dur soon.

I noticed that once it was too late. To be fair, my post-to-grammatical-error ratio is as low as anyone on the forum.

That's actually the only reason I commented on it at all -- because it's an aberration.

Classic does; no question. This is a slugfest, not an "all powers" fight.

Indeed. You get a reputation, and then have to live up to it.

If he gets to Hulk, he'll regret it. No chance against Hulk.

It really doesn't matter to be frank, I gave a list of who would likely defeat him, and who wouldn't. Hercules is above Wonder Man, and always was. Marvel decided to nerf Rulk to be somewhere between Namor, and Wonder Man. Anyways He-Man presently isn't on the same level as he was back in the PC era, which he barely fit in at the time of his little skirmish with Superman so....

Hyperion also shouldn't be placed so high with his limited showings, so I would place him below the Hulk and Thor.

I usually qualify Hulk's KO losses by saying he will win the rematch die to increased rage.

Not this time!

The Hulk wakes up, gets angrier, and Adam STILL puts his lights out! cool

Why?

Adam at default is stronger than Hulk. His powerset is the strength necessary to meet any given challenge. This is one time where the Hulk can't out-amp his foe.

Stoic
Base on what? Oh you mean the way how he beats Beastman? Have you seen He-Man's most recent showings? The Hulk and Thor would kick his teeth in, as well as a couple others. he doesn't get past Herc.
