whos stronger superman or hulk??

well, i agree with you there, his strength does increase rather dramatically. i just don't think it would increase enough to deal with superman. he'd have the hulk beat, especially with his speed advantage and other powers, before hulk could get strong enough to take supes out.

if we're just talking about a weightlifting contest, hulk could potentially get stronger than supes at some point. still haven't seen his strength really get up to supe's best feats, but i'll admit its possible if hulk is given enough time.

If I can gain any strength I want (it just take me time) then who's stronger, Superman or me (assuming Superman is real)? The answer is Superman. Why? Because the question pertains to current strength and not future strength. Now who has the greatest potential strength? The answer here is unknown unless one goes by feats. And by feats Superman has the greatest potential strength (by sundipping).

In conclusion, Superman is stronger than Hulk by semantics.

Sigh I really hate to repeat myself but I will. Superman has been shown time and time again to hit his limits. You say he's holding back? Ok why would someone hold back and then after taking a beating or realizing he cannot move something think, oh I'll just sun dip it's fun. Rather than just unleashing more strength? Do you see how your argument makes either superman look like an idiot, or shows obvious limits to his strength? Also superman has let loose on occasion when the threat level has been very high and he still hit brick walls. You're making superman look like some fool who would rather get beat up or die than save the universe by letting loose(which he has). That's got to be the lamest superman argument yet it comes around all the time.

Also if you read what I said, which it seems like you didn't. I said Hulk will more often than not lose to someone with greater base strength if and only if they take him out quickly otherwise they have just dugg their own grave by prolonging the match.

Okay... I am just gonna put my two cents in here. Of course this is my opinion and my opinion only and I am entitled to it.

Superman could use all of his powers and no matter how hard he tried he would not stand a chance against the Incredible Hulk. Now I am talking World War Hulk. Some of you guys are right about the different variations of Hulks and Supes... but if we are talking Pre-Crisis Supes and World War Hulk, then Hulk would win hands down... First of all Hulk gets madder every time he gets hit. He doesn't like being hit. He may not be faster than Supes but he certainly is stronger hands down. If he wanted to he could get so strong that he could lift a planet. Also, no one knows the limits of the Hulks strength whereas Superman has a limit. Everyone thinks that he doesn't but he does. Even though he beat the living hell out of Darkseid/ w Brainiac, he would still be no match for WW Hulk.

Once again though I am talking about World War Hulk vs. Pre-Crisis Superman

Thank you for reading my post and I wanna hear everyones comments no matter what you think. This is my opinion and there is nothing anyone can say differently.

Superman.

Superman because he has like different super powers and has laser beams in his eyes and can fly and save a woman from a burning building so i say yes to super man.chef

Its blatantly obvious that Superman is stronger "the man who can move planets V the man who can move mountains".

Mind you the characters have been changed so often over the years its hard to tell.

Superman at the onset but the strongest character out there top tier wise is the Hulk. If he's properly enraged he's stronger than Superman.

In terms of strength I put Hulk at the top.

Hulk.

my vote is Superman

Superman.

Reasons:

(1) There is not such thing as infinite anger to reach infinite levels of strength. Even in wild animals: tasmanian devils, wolverines, etc. that are known for their bad mood even attacking animals that could kill them. However, the anger reaches a peak and then becomes fear, frustation, or just disipates etc... OK is comic books, but no one's and nothing's anger is infinite.

My guess is that, assuming Hulk could take a few punches from Superman without being knocked out, he would get angrier, for a while, given Supes a good fight, but eventually he would get frustrated or afraid to see everytime he punches harder, receives a harder punch from Superman. Then, no more anger, frustration has made its entrance, and bye bye strength. Or it would happen what happened during WWH, against the Sentry, where both of them returned to their human forms having consumed their "juice". (Supes source of energy is infinite as long as the sun does not goes red or super nova in millions of years)

(2) The strength given by the sun vs the strength given by anger???? c'm on! 😮

(3) Superman already have an "infinite" level of strength. No need to get angry.

(4) A hit by Superman, most likely won't get Hulk angry, would knock him out instead. This is not Abomination or the Thing we are talking about.

(5) Even if Hulk had the potential to eventually reach Superman's level of strength, that's not good enough. Superman could end it halfway or less than that.

(6) In a punch what is important is momentum: mass x velocity. A single punch from superman using superspeed (which Hulk doesn't have) and bye bye hulk.

(7) I know we are talking about strength here, but in a fight, I can see 20 to 25 different scenarios, in all of them Superman wins.

Summarizing,

Don't get me wrong, Hulk is really strong, might be the strongest there is in Marvel Universe (debatable), but to reach a level that is comparable to Superman's he must hypothetically withstand Superman's punches and get consistently angrier for a undefined, but long amount of time, and I don't think that could happen because:

(1) After a long time, his anger would turn to other kind of emotion, such as frustration or fear

(2) Impossibility to withstand indefinitely a beating from Superman.

(3) Before reaching a level of strength comparable to Superman ,Hulk would turn to his human form or being knocked out, having depleted his energy.

(4) Superman would notice the increment of strength as Hilk's anger raises. He would put an end to the fight before Hulk's as strong as him, using any combination of his multiple powers and skills, which by the way, are the key to Superman's victory in any scenario in a fight with the Hulk: Versatility.

I think when Hulk hits an anger barrier it makes him even angrier.

I'm divided on this. in terms of strength i'd say they are both equal. Superman's strength has been considered infinite about as many times as Hulk's has. and they both have feats to prove it.

i do, however, think Supes is the "better" fighter. which is why i think he'd win. after all, if Red Hulk could choke out and KO Hulk why can't Superdouche?

Has Superhypocrite ever been KO'd? 😮

can the hulk beat Wonder Woman? i thought Hulk would have a hard time againt her and lose probably but Superman was above her.

He could beat WW, yeah, but given her own physical stats, equipment, and skill set, I'd be more willing to bet on Diana winning a fight between the two.

Hulk is only more roided. Supes is much stronger.

Superman starts off stronger. Hulk finishes off stronger.

The way I see it, Hulk as a bas strength of 90 or 100 tons then gets stronger as he gets madder potentially growing to infinite strength if he gets made enough. Supes base strength is even more than 400 tons and at his max he either can tow a galaxy on his back (silver age) or move planets (current age). If it dragged out long enough Hulk would probably win but Supes already has too great an advantage over him from the get go so I highly doubt it'll even go that far.

In a hit per hit scenario - Superman would get badly beaten. The Hulk gains power as he becomes angrier - Superman gains power from the sun.

Take an all day fight - Superman would get some of the most amazing hits in from dusk until dawn.

Once night set in - it's all Hulk.

Superman would still win the fight however. He would fly away/run away until the Hulk cooled off and sweep in and knock him out once the Hulk returned to normal.

Superman still stands a chance at defeating the Hulk, however; if Superman were able to carry him out of our atmosphere. The creators of Hulk gave him the vulnerability that he needs oxygen.

In this battle, the victory would depend on how the fight took place.

So the question is stupid as Hulk's strength is variable and not static. In the question of the OP it is assumed that Hulk's strength is static, which isn't true.

Very true, there are too many variables. Given a red sun, Superman is is in trouble, given a yellow sun, Superman is at an advantage; a white sun would make him a god. The only way for the Hulk to get the upper hand in any of those is if Superman dragged out the fight... But judging from many of the fights that Superman had been in, that is a likely possibility. Next thing some writter needs to do is make a bold move and say the Hulk is green because the secret ingredient is kryptonite... I can see the heads turn - and the headlines burned.
