The outcome would be the same IT. The Hulk appeared capable of fighting Zeus on a physical level, but once Zeus amplified his fists with unknown magic, it appeared to strip the Hulk of his ability to heal. Without the aid of his people, the Hulk was dead to rights according to what was written.

Have any evidence it stripped him of his healing factor during the fight?

Same outcome but this time Hulk won't get the luxury of landing not even a single sucker punch like in the last fight.

Cuz I don't know if you guys notice, but Hulk only landed a single sucker punch on Zeus laughing out loud

Yes. That WOULD be picking on him.

In the same way telling the Elephant Man "You're really, really ugly" to his face would be picking on him. It's a fact, but some things you just don't say.

carver9
Hulk fight the Giants of Zeus land and is obviously taking damage and even have arrows poking out of him and by the 3rd page before Zeus attack, he is fully healed.

Also, as shown in the scans, Zeus damaged him (not done).

It actually was. The Hulk has healed from far greater injuries that the ones caused by Zeus.

DarkSaint85
If we are taking what has gone before as a guide....

Has Zeus ever switched HFs off with magic?

Has Hulk ever had his HF switched off?

@carver (as I sense scan dump incoming): All well and good, now tell me, which of those arrows and giant's etc are Skyfather level? Otherwise, they're all moot.

carver9
He's still damaged from the lightening attack...

Still damaged...

Still...

http://www.turboimagehost.com/p/5863063/Incredible_Hulks_622_009.jpg.html

This is from that same lightening attack. He didn't receive any hits after this minus the punch you see and he still suffered from the same damage he took from Zeus first attack.

She Hulk calls it out here. She still see that he is hurt and is obviously not healing.

I'm showing you he was healing before facing Zeus. The board doesn't think of Zeus as Skyfather level, let alone trans tier, so it does matter.

DarkSaint85
Do you not think it possible (you, carver9) that a Skyfather can physically beat the HF out of Hulk?

Question goes to you as well, Stoic.

Simple question, all it needs is a yes or no answer.

Based on past showings and seeing the Hulk take far greater damage and heal from it, I would say no. His HF would not be shut off from a pure physical attack. We actually see Zeus go back on his word and charge up his fists with an unknown magic. This IMO shut off or extremely hindered the Hulk's ability to heal.

Originally posted by iceman24567

I'll have to disagree with you there. I don't care if you throw in the Sky Father title as some proof. The fact is that the Hulk has been reduced to a near skeleton on panel, and healed from it within moments. The injuries that he sustained from Zeus on panel were less than that. All the same, I see no reason to drag this out. Zeus would win again if they faced off again, because once again, he would charge up his fists, and turn the Hulk's HF off.

Delta1938
So, a circular argument.

I highly doubt he could heal from being reduced nearly to skeleton dozens upon dozens of times which is my point. The fact that Zeus' attacks did such substantial damage to Hulk despite his base durability is prove enough to me that Zeus is a good deal above him healing be damned.

You seem to willing to play fast and loose with the word speculation, even after saying that you highly doubt it. The Hulk has never shown that he loses his ability to heal from purely physical damage, unless proof can be submitted of a time that this did happen when he was operating under optimal conditions. Then we see Zeus charge up his fists with an unknown magic and hit the Hulk. Then we see the Hulk laid out for some time in the following issues until his HF finally comes back. Yet as I stated before, he has suffered far greater damage. So until you come around to realizing that Zeus actually did do something to hinder the Hulk's ability to heal, this will be a circular argument. But I have a quick fix for the problem. We can agree to disagree. Either way, Zeus still wins.

Fair enough. Guess Sentry never outputted the power of a million exploding suns in his WWH fight, as there wasn't the corresponding amount of damage, etc.

I made TWO points, carver. One to you, one to Stoic. Yours had your name in it. I also asked an earlier question, naming you specifically.

Why are you ignoring them, and focussing on the question I made to Stoic?

Delta1938
I missed the first thing was to Stoic instead of carter myself, but Good Lord, I only needed to read one correction. This is the real reason carter would have lost had he not dropped out.

CosmicComet
Lol at 'unknown magic'. Its just lightning fists. Where was it ever stated or implied that it was anything other than a taxing physical beatdown? Nowhere. A burned out hulk can also be turned back into banner.

Just because hulk has been flayed before by a lesser opponent (vector) and healed back, doesnt mean he can take concentrated hits from a skyfather that hulk admits could simply erase him from existing.

If zeus faced the younger, weaker hulk that healed from vector's blast, he may have just turned him to ash with his fist.

Thankfully zeus faced a much more powerful green scar hulk who probably developed enough HF to simply be barely alive after a beatdown from a skyfather.

Carver does have a point. Based on feats Zeus does not appear as a skyfather. I wouldnt go so low as hh though. High trans low sky seems legit

DarkSaint85
But my point is, rather than argue Zeus is a Skyfather, carver would rather argue that a trans level (or HH or whatever) character can suddenly just turn his HF off with a magic spell.

Yea i seen that. I mean i get it. Hulks never been beat that badly...so to compensate they say he had his hf turned off. Its a stretch but it placates them. Its not a bad showing though. Pak shows Zeus love..so in that depiction he WAS an elite skyfather. And if getting beat tf up by a sky and living to tell it isn't beastly they really need to learn context/scope .

Let me leave you alone. I was hoping you gave up but I forgot about your persistence.

Anyways, Zeus is a Skyfather and yes, I think he can physically destroy hulk but to the point of taxing out his healing factor? Naah.

It was clearly said that Hulk was left with enough of his healing factor to feed Zeus birds. That's it

I know you were trying to divert attention from the questions. You're very transparent.

So Zeus now made a spell that took out exactly 93% of the HF, and hit Hulk with said spell, and it worked like a charm first time, without prep, on the fly.

Despite Zeus never displaying having such a spell, or Hulk ever succumbing to a spell like this.

I agree I think that it's a stretch as seeing that the Hulk has sustained greater injuries and had his HF kick in. This time it seemed as if Zeus gummed it up and systematically took the Hulk down. After all he did lie to the Hulk when he said that he would fight him down at his level, and then proceeded to change the rules after the Hulk hit him squarely. I agree though, it's not really a bad thing after all, because the Hulk did survive the encounter.

Agreed. Zeus is far more powerful than Hulk and I have no issues with Hulk getting destroyed by him. That's not what I'm arguing.

U keep saying he was hurt by stronger attacks. But ive never seen Hulk fight an elder god before. So what attacks has he been hit with that are stronger than what Zeus produced

Beat Hulk like he did already?. No one is denying Zeus could beat Hulk. What I'm telling you is, Zeus cancelled Hulk healing factor just enough to feed his birds, forever. It's said on panel. Your strength will not return for months and your wounds will heal fast enough to keep them fed. Lol..he wanted to torture Hulk. Take away his strength so that he can't break those chains and give him enough of his healing abilities so that his birds can feed on him forever.

Zeus even upped the punishment. The next page states "Prometbius defied the gods by gifting men with fire. So Zeus sent eagles to devour his liver but you (Hulk) defied the gods by whining, so you get vultures". All of what I said is shown here.

DBZ is horribly inconsistent when it comes to power displays and even more impossible to judge physical power vs the same character's energy output. It's an argument that will never end

I've already stated which time. There was also another time that he got his heart pulled from his body. Where I sit, it's obvious that Zeus hit him with magic that placed the whammy on his HF. However, like I said before, two people can see the exact same thing, and come up with completely different opinions.

Happened a while back when McFarlane sketched Hulk. The Hulkbuster named Rock ripped the grey Hulk's heart out. another time a U-Foes member (Vector?) used his powers to repel the Hulk who was unwilling to stop advancing on him. In so doing, the assault tore the flesh off of the Hulk to the point that he was nearly reduced to a skeleton. One more in what I believe is non canon to the Hulk or perhaps it is canon, some super gamma irradiated cockroaches attacked Hulk leaving only remnants of him, of which he also healed from.

In all of those showings he appeared to have suffered graver injuries than when Zeus used him as a personal punching bag. Yet, I've read people throwing out the word speculation like they were feeding pigeons bread over me stating that Zeus magically removed the Hulk's HF, while possibly not realizing that making a statement like his HF was overly taxed by the beating is based on nothing more than pure speculation, and then choosing to ignore that the Hulk has been injured worse than that in the past with no ill effects to his HF.

Take away his strength so that he can't break those chains and give him enough of his healing abilities so that his birds can feed on him forever.

Zeus even upped the punishment. The next page states "Prometbius defied the gods by gifting men with fire. So Zeus sent eagles to devour his liver but you (Hulk) defied the gods by whining, so you get vultures". All of what I said is shown here.

Thanks for posting the scans! You saved me some work since I was going to do the same. smile

Contrary to your pre-emptive interpretation, the exact opposite is true. As per Hephaestus' explanation, Hulk being *hit* by Zeus weakened him so much that his healing factor AND strength won't return "for a long time".

Zeus cancelled Hulk's HF alright. By hitting him. Very hard. smile

And we know he didn't use a spell to just 'turn it off', because as per Hephaestus, it is gradually expected to return. Sounds like an injury. smile

Ok, you're saying hitting, that scan isn't plural, it's singular. Zeus HIT canceled out Hulk healing factor. His hit during the onset, that lightning bolt. The scan isn't talking about a beating, it's talking about a single hit. I don't know how you misinterpreted that.

Whoa slow down brother. It does in fact say that he was hit by Zeus, but it never states what was packed in the hit. We know that it wasn't a purely physical hit based off of the amplified power fist that are clearly seen during the mugging. This does not mean that he wasn't hit by magic. Zeus lied first of all. He first said that he was going to beat the Hulk on his level, which meant that he wasn't going to use exotic powers on him. Then the Hulk hit him, and he changed his mind and decided to use exotic powers on him. As I've stated, the Hulk has suffered graver wounds in the past, and healed from them. This time was different, and it is well within a character of Zeus' level to cancel a mortal like the Hulk's HF. Crap, even the Silver Surfer has the power to muck with the Hulk genetics.

CosmicComet
Guess you could explain it as Hulk's HF working overtime to keep from getting demolished by Zeus, and his whole nervous system was like "I'm done." afterward.

This whole argument of: Hulk's came back from deeper level of injuries is equivalent to saying he can't get knocked out.

"Oh he can back from a near skeleton, he can't get knocked out because that's just your brain hitting your skull. Lower level."

Obviously, that's stupid.

And no, Zeus showed he was a man of his word, completely. He said he would beat Hulk with his hands instead of simply erasing him from existence. He proceeded to do exactly that. He beat Hulk with Grecian fisticuffs.


And LOL @ Carver's idiotic semantic argument. I've never seen so desperate a parsing of words. And of course, its wrong anyway.

"You got hit" =/= "You got hit once".

You keep making these crap suppositions and speculations that aren't supported by text anywhere.

All it said was Hulk got hit by Zeus, and his strength and HF was comprised as a result. It was pure power, that was the answer, hence the bolding of Zeus' name in particular.

As if to say "Lol you just fought Zeus bruh. You really think you'd walk it off like that?"

All the same, I see no reason to drag this out. Zeus would win again if they faced off again, because once again, he would charge up his fists, and turn the Hulk's HF off.

This seems logical to me though it seems possible that it's simply an inconsistent HF showing of Hulk's rather then Zeus turning it off with magic.

That's the point of a healing factor...to heal through beatings and Hulk has the best healing factor in comics.

UCanShootMyNova
Yeah. It seems illogical to me that anybody could physically beat it out of him. Especially when the damage dealt was seemingly less then what Hulk's been healed from in the past ( apparently he's healed as a skeleton? ).

The only options therefore are

- Zeus can NOT physically beat the HF out of Hulk.
- It was an inconsistent showing.
- Some bullshit excuse about Zeus dealing internal unforeseen damage that was super long lasting. This seems like reaching at best.

This seems to be reaching... Like, why did Zeus's attacks not show themselves to be as damaging as reducing Hulk to a skeleton if they were more powerful. That doesn't make sense unless they were magical.

Despite Zeus never displaying having such a spell, or Hulk ever succumbing to a spell like this.

This is a good point. I didn't know Hulk still had some of his healing factor left. But then couldn't Zeus have simply granted part of his healing factor back after taking it away during the fight?

He did bring himself down to his level, Zeus has shown to toss a legit mountain onto a titan. He's a god of lightening, similar to Thor has sparks of lightening and electricity doesn't mean he amped his physical strength. As said in the story he could vaporize Hulk in a second, but decided not to and fought him with his strength.

Like it would have to have been pretty much ALL internal given the external damage didn't show anything close.

Like would multiple blows that completely shattered his internals and been healed by Hulk's HF every time before taking another punch and getting exhausted be equivalent?

How long did their fight go on for?

He obviously amped himself. Zeus made Hulk look like a midget in height by the end of that scuffle. He was HUGE. Hulk is 12 ft and Zeus still towered him and no, that's not an average height for Zeus.

It seems more plausible that Zeus used magic to depower his HF then that his physical blows exhausted it.

Because he showed ligtening blasts earlier and that is what could have vaporized him. The whole point was he wanted to nerf himself to Hulk's level. So now you're argument maybe he didn't?

What is a reach is coming up with explanations don't exist anywhere in-text.

People saying Zeus somehow "laced his fists with healing factor and strength mitigating spells" are making tall claims that need proof. That's how it works.

Zeus beat Hulk down. That's what Hephestus said, that's what was shown, and pure power was the only reason implied.

Again, Occam's Razor tells us which side is more likely correct. It's a put up, or shut up situation.

The lightning around his fists was a superficial artistic effect until proven otherwise. Seeing as said lightning was not pointed out in the story as a detail, at all. Anywhere. It's only being brought up by zealots looking for excuses for Hulk's loss.


Once more, the Carver and Stoic argument is essentially saying it is impossible for Hulk to lose by mere KO, ever. Even though it has happened over and over.

Why shouldn't a skyfather be capable of using such magic? And it seems like a logical alternative when the seeming damage Zeus dealt isn't equal to damage Hulk's taken in the past.

Star Wars is my background.

Yeah but what reason does Zeus have to keep it? And Hulk never even set terms in the first place. He's interrupted by Zeus's attack before he can.

Well no, Hera said

Zeus didn't say anything to contradict her then said

"Your terms beast!"

Then he attacks Hulk midsentence before terms can be set.

And he says before that he's going to give him a beating by hand but then goes back on that and flings a lightning bolt at him right after.

No. That wasn't what I was saying. Perhaps you should go back and read what I said. It was in concerns to his HF, not whether or not he was going to defeat Zeus. Furthermore, if you really want to get technical about it, the Hulk didn't go all out. This is not to say, now pay close attention. This is not to say that even if he went all out that he would have defeated Zeus, just that he didn't raise the bar on Earth the way that he did when he was in the Dark Dimension. All the same, you're free to go back and re-read what I wrote concerning his healing factor, and why I wrote what I wrote.

What does "Word of Zeus" mean? I notice you completely ignored it. Hint...it means he is honor bound to follow the stipulations

He says he wants to give him a beating..."to be beaten to death..by hand"

If he truly wasn't honorable he COULD have killed him at any time, which Hulk himself verified and said he would be a coward if he did. Which Zeus took as an insult and wanted to teach him a lesson JUST using his fists
