I have the scans but it isnt needed. Remember, Hulk reason for approaching Doom was to get Banner back. Banner was removed during the surgery process Doom did.
I said it's ARGUABLE, and bar Proxima (who defeated him with an attack unique to herself) I could make a case for all of those I named but whatever, it's not important to the thread so agree to disagree. They were all high powered foes (at worst HH) and all stronger/tougher than Diana which was the point.
Sun God fight had context. Proxima fight had context. Zeus fight had context. Rulk was an energy absorber but that is his ability so that's a legit loss against a trans tier character.
Hulk had been living for weeks probably more going by narration without the Banner part. No shame in getting beat by Doom.
All of his showings under Loeb are not high.
Doom at worst is high herald? Red Hulk was punked by Red Ghost, was reeling against She-Hulk, and knocked out by Betty w/sais is trans?
All fights have context. You're making a case for Rulk beating him, but throw Proxima beating him out the window even though she beat him using her powerset?
It wasn't the real Doom and the Doombot didnt defeat him it knocked him on his ass. Later on Hulk solo'd an army of them plus an army of hulked out creatures while being attacked by a psychic.
Red Ghost phased through Rulks body and crushed his heart iirc. Hardly a low showing, and She-Hulk never did anything. He also wasn't absorbing on those occasions, he was when he beat Savage Hulk.

You're right about that...it was weeks. Doesn't change the fact that he wasn't at his Prime.
Rulk stopped using his absorption power during most of Loeb penning.
Doom blasted him in the back and flew off while Hulk eyes were still opened. I took it as him thinking. After this, I agree with Sorrow, Hulk soloed an army of the same Doombots and made Doom himself flee.
I didn't make a case for Red Hulk, I said that loss was legit just like Proxima. It took plot to beat Hulk during those circumstances though.
I may have missed something, but where does it say that was not Doom? The fact Hulk was laid out like he was you better hope that was Doom and not a Doombot. That would be worse for him. (please log in to view the image)

Aare you talking about Banner with weapons shooting Doombots down?
Correct. I brought up the RG thing because he's not that powerful and nowhere new a herald.
Let's just say She-Hulk made her presence felt.
