Maestro vs. Hercules

who will win this one ? i think this not happened before

It depends. If it is:

Mortal Hercules vs Maestro = Maestro wins, No contest.

Demi-god Hercules vs Maestro = Maestro wins, after a long stalemate.

Full-God Hercules vs Maestro = Hercules wins, No contest.

at no point can herc get stronger , more powerful, he goes down , end of contest really. maestro too is limitless in strength potential

actually, i don't think it's ever been proven that maestro CAN increase his strength. far as i know, he's an advanced prof hulk, and like prof, he doesn't get stronger. unless someone has proof to the contrary.

I dont know either. I keep hearing he started twice as strong and could get stronger.

But as far as i know the twice as strong number comes from an handbook, not any of his comic appearances.

well handbooks are the character, comics are the interpretation

Really?

Does that means that Hulk cant survive nukes, like the handbooks have stated several times?

no handbok ive ever read states that. in fact the opposite, ie can heal form next to nothing.like i said , the characters characteristics are the hero, the writers interprit this themselves , which is how you can have spidey knock out hulk in a fight etc.

Whats the difference between Maestro Hulk and Professor Hulk(The Order)?

i thought professor hulk possess the adrenaline surge. it's banner-controlled hulk that doesnt get mad.

"no handbok ive ever read states that. in fact the opposite"

Really? You havent read many handbooks, then. Wich is strange for such a handbook person like yourself.

Do you even know that Hercules has been stated in handbooks before to have unmesurable strenght like Gladiator and above Thor?

Wonders beyond wonders the handbooks.

Professor/Merged Hulk was the one that had the handicap of not getting stronger with rage IIRC. The fight with Superman in Marvel/DC was during that period.

In all fairness CC or Leonidas can clarify better since during Pad he had a bunch of "versions" running around.

In the Defenders(Order) series, Strange changed Hulk into the Professor. He said that he had the intellect of Banner and the full strength of any of the Hulk incarnatioins.

That doesnt say if it was static or if he could get higher.

Not to mention that, the writer could had retconned what Pad did.

The question is, during Pad first run was Merged Hulk handicaped or not.

And im almost sure it was.

that's what im trying to point out. Merged Hulk has teh adrenaline surge and the inteeligence of Bruce. Banner-controlled hulk is handicapped with the disability to grow stronger.

Maestro does get stronger ,,,towards the end of Future imperfect issue 2
hulk says "should've remembered ....the madder you get the stronger you get ...and your completly mad. he says this to maestro while maestro is kicking his ass

maestro is extremly strong his base strengh is already 100 tons ive heard hulk's is not. From 100 tons he gets mad and it just goes up.

merged hulk, as far as i know, was banner, but a still unstable banner. this merged hulk was handicapped, but was also capable of losing control and becoming savage, losing banner's intelligence. when this happened his strength became that increasing strength of savage hulk.

prof hulk never lost control. it is the loss of control that is usually associated with the rising strength level of hulk. one instance to show that he does NOT get stronger is when juggs ko'd him. prof was incapable of getting strong enough to match him. it's not just rage that sets his strength off, it's also fear. he knew he was getting pummeled by juggs but couldn't do anything about it. he didn't appear to get stronger against gladiator. reed (it was reed, right?) had to force hulk into his 'unconrolled' state in secret wars so hulk could summon the strength to hold the mountain range.

the bit about maestro makes sense -- like any hulk, if he loses control, he should be able to increase his strength, but the 'insanity' aspect makes the level of his strength increase a question. maestro wasn't around long enough to do more than speculate on his powers.

still, double the base of regular hulk and add a crazy healing factor -- herc would have a very tough time dealing with him. VERY tough . . .

But Hercules is a god and his strenght is also almost infinite. I don't kwow who wins.

Hercules really doesn't have a chance against me does he 😮‍💨

I think somehow you would end up winning this M, but only If ZEUS decide he wont atomize you as he done so many times with others in the past
