He could generate more than enough energy to thaw any effects Iceman could have on him. Then, he'd knock Iceman out pretty easily.
Untrue. Gamma rays carry very little heat. In fact, they carry so little heat that meat irradiation is performed using gamma radiation, specifically because it won't threaten to brown the meat unlike, say, microwaves.
A lethal dose of radiation generates less heat than what you'd get from drinking a cup of coffee.
You have to remember - when dealing with radiation, it's not just how much energy it generates. Yes, gamma yields the highest amount of energy, BUT it has no mass and no charge - that's why it generates almost no heat.
So Hulk would still be unable to thaw anything - he's still just as vulnerable as anybody else.
And he still wouldn't be able to knock Iceman out, lol.
In Uncanny X-Men #331, Iceman froze the blood flow the Emma Frost's brain. He didnt even touch her. He had his back turned towards her, and had her on her hands and knees. Mind you that shes a telepath, and Iceman cuold have killed her if he wanted to. Ive seen Hulk get knocked out many times thus reverting him back to Banner. Head on collision with Namor, finger beam from Havok. Thats all Iceman would really have to do. Keep in mind that he doesnt have to touch Hulk to do it either. Iceman has always been an under-achiever, but he has the most potential out of any X-Man. And on another note, he's actually able to generate temps below zero. My vote goes to Iceman. I know that Iceman isnt the most popular character, but people should read up on him before jumping to conclusions and saying that Hulk would smash him. Just the facts folks. Im sure it would work on Magneto, but not so sure about Juggernaut.
