Stan Lee's opinion about Hulk vs Superman
In Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine Oct 2006 issues, Stan Lee was asked his opinion about Hulk vs Superman and this is what he wrote, "If I wrote the story, I guarantee the Hulk would win. The way I established the Hulk, the more he fought, the stronger he got. And Superman has a certain amount of strength and thats it. I assume at some point he'll get worn out, but never the Hulk."
sorry 😂
It makes sense, actually, if you limit Superman to just his strength and invulnerability. Same thing with Thor. Hulk should be "strongest one there is" (otherwise, what's the point of having a Hulk? It's like with the Flash: if Superman were faster, why have a Flash?).
Thing is, though they are usually written using very few of their abilities, if Superman or Thor fought Hulk using all their potential, then Hulk ought to lose.
"And Superman has a certain amount of strength and thats it."
Too bad that limit is unknown. Secondly, Stan would only hope that a fight between the two would last long enough for Hulk to actually become stronger than Supes. He knows as well as most know that Supes would defeat Hulk before his strength level even becomes a serious threat.
Guys, as much as I love Stan (and I do) and he's also incredibly respected and all, any of us are probably more versed in these characters' continuity than he is. The characters have gone beyond just Stan because 100's of other writers and artists have contributed to them by now.
Stan, or any writer really, is simply another opinion to the subject. Albeit, his is an incredibly important and respected opinion, but it's hardly canon for Stan to say that Hulk would beat Superman.
Stan also said years ago that Thor was the strongest character he ever wrote for....though there was some controversy over the word "strong" (did he mean lifting strength or simply overall power?). So even his story can change.
