No, because there is nothing for Vulcan to drain and Vulcan was already drained somewhat, no? Imperial guards suck even more than Gladiator. It shows Gladiator=Sunamped Havok though.vin
So what was I looking at there? That it took a lot of his power to restrain the Hulk?
It's so hard to quantify most of this. There's no way to tell if that's a nigh-abstract feat, or just a run-of-the-mill decent strength feat. And spare me the biased interpretation...that's how this thread gets into trouble. There's no basis for comparison with that. It's probably impressive as hell, but it's also the kind of thing a writer can get away with and explain away one of a few ways later on if he needs to.
Same with the time punch. Was it just that those conditions made the time barrier vulnerable to force? Or was it reality warping via rage-smash? Something that's so different in measurement - time vs. strength - is almost by definition unquantifiable. It's cool either way - I'm not trying to take anything away from Hulk - just trying to temper the enthusiasm with pragmatism over what we know for sure about the feats.
I always use the tourney benchmark. If I drafted Hulk and used that scan in a tourney, what could I reasonably prove that a random panel of judges would believe? And while I actually think the feats are as badass as many think - carver included - I couldn't and wouldn't use it in a tourney because of the uncertainty.
Digi...
This scan should answer your question about the time barrier.
