"in the onslaught saga i was glad storm beat hulk but it was SERIOUSLY bad writing. if people read comics then they would know storm loses to the hulk. the hulk is like ther hardest person to take down"
I don't know. People use bad writing for the reason Hulk can defeat Gladiator, why shouldn't Storm benefit from the same thing? The Marvel writers already showed she is capable of defeating Hulk by frying Hulk's brain, just as Hulk can defeat Gladiator by miraculously knowing Gladiator is vulnerable to some forms of radiation (though he flies through space, blackholes, wormholes, stars, etc unprotected and is bombarded with various forms of radiation constantly), and somehow that form of radiation was generated by a nuclear reactor on Earth that Hulk chokeslammed Gladiator into.
Bad writing lets Hulk beat Gladiator (though Gladiator would win realistically).
Bad writing lets Storm beat Hulk (though Hulk would win realistically).
It happened in the comics continuity, and in this forum characters are supposed to be considered to go all out.
Since Marvel already showed Storm defeating Hulk, and people used that same argument for Hulk defeating Gladiator...
I vote for Storm.
I knew someone would have to actually be different.
Storm cannot beat The Hulk.
The thing is, you admit that Hulk would beat Storm realistically and that it was bad writing when she did him in with the lightning.
Gladiator was created by some dude who's name I forget, to have every power in the book. He's like a Superman, cheap for no reason. The same guy who created him had Gambit beat him with a pack of cards, does that mean Gambit can beat Gladiator? No it doesn't, why? Coz he wouldn't.
Same applies to Storm and Hulk.
I already know this is gonna be another thread where the X-Men and it's members get overrated and debated pointlessly when we know that Hulk wins this fight.

I know Alpha. I'm just saying that if the "It happened in the comics" argument can make Hulk defeat Gladiator, why not Storm?
And really, though if Hulk got his hands on Storm he'd crush her, what's to stop her from lifting him up in a tornado and pulling off every attack in her arsenal on him while he's defensless? Characters are considered to go all out in this forum, right? Hulk only weighs a little over a half ton, she could just keep him off his feet with mach 2 and up velocity winds, or trap him in a giant water wizard and keep channelling lightning through it. It might not put him down, but it would keep him at bay. Storm could force a draw or drown him if you really think about it.
Well let us take a step back here.
Storm can apparently beat Hulk and Doom.
Rogue can apparently beat Hulk.
Have people stopped being able to think rationally?
I don't read all the X-Men titles, does one of them have some sort of cult brainwashing going on, or special ink that when it rubs off on your hands, it drugs you, then you think ANY X Man can beat ANY other person?
Hulk.
People should stop quoting Storm 'beating' Hulk without context. Hulk single handedly was destroying Storm AND Cable, then to give them their most realistic chance of respite, Storm hit him with a huge bolt of lightning, stopping his heart. They then restarted it- who's to say he would have remained in that state? The man has had all the flesh removed from his body.
Yes, it IS a different thing, but so what. Anyone that thinks Hulk healing required a defibrillator or adrenalin shot is obviously delusional.

You guys are missing the point. I know Hulk would crush Storm, but in order to do so, he'd have to get his hands on her. In this forum a character is to be considered to go all out in order to achieve victory. Storm has the ability to keep the Hulk at bay for however long she wishes with her powers, and stopping Hulk's heart, though it may not kill him, is a knockout. It may only take Hulk a punch or a tossed boulder to kill her, but he has to land the attack to do so, and if Storm is going all out, Hulk isn't going to get close to her, she can literally just blow him off his feet and away, and though it won't kill him, it makes his attacks pointless.
Storm has the ability to keep Hulk at bay? Where do you get that idea?
You're giving her WAYYYYYYYYY too much credit. Blow him off his feet and away? We're talking about The Incredible Hulk, not Hulk Hogan.
Hulk has what it takes to grab her if Spider-Man could do it.
Why are we even debating it? If two football teams are playing, one is the best in the world, the other is just an ok team. You could say "The OK team will win." "How?" "Pass to this guy, then that guy, then dodge around the goalkeeper and score. Keep doing it."
Yes that would achieve a win but the liklihood of that happening? Extremely unlikely.
Same with Storm. "She could do this, do that, do this, then bam". Yeah but so what? She isn't going to.
If I made a baseball team of all English players and went to play the Yankees, I could say "We can win easy. Just keep hitting the ball into the stands". Yes, that would achieve a win, but the likihood of doing so? Zero.

just because hulk has impenatrable skin doesnt mean he doesnt have any nerves. it seems more than rational that several lightning bolts to the head would AT LEAST pinch a few nerves in his brain rendering him unconcsious if not killing him. electicity is a powerful weapon. more powerful than brute strength in my opinion. why do think electro has been blown so much out of proportion? i dont see anyway gambit can beat doom, and if hulk crushes rougue's skull before she aborbes any powers than of course it lights out. but storm is somewhat of a god. the fact that she even faced WW in marvel vs dc shows her worthyness. other than the greys i'd say she's the most powerful x-man. and when spidey took out the x-men storm wasnt there
