Stan Lee's opinion about Hulk vs Superman

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.

i agree with most but power is different to strength, educate yourself in understanding what each word really means... and for strength, who can say who's stronger when they both get stronger and havent reached a limit yet! But for consistant strength superman is higher to start with, so that's the answer folks.

educate myself?

Um, I know the difference. What I was saying is that Stan (in the old interview) was using the term "stronger" but the way he was describing it, it sounded like he was talking in terms of overall power, not just pure strength. Thus, the confusion.

Sometimes when you get old you start to say things that are some kind stupid. My respects for Stan Lee, I mean he is like supercool, but I think that he doesn't reed DC that much. and by the way about Stan Leehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDAXd3VSeqw

In that point no one can bea the Hulk...Ooohh except Thanos pimp slapped him 😄

Yeah... Digi knows the difference, and was simply questioning whether he was reffering to power or strength. Don't presume that someone's said something stupid unless you fully understand what they're saying

Supes is known to absorb more sunlight in dire situations, so that point is moot now about Hulk being the only one getting stronger.

I agree.

There isnt anything wrong with what Stan said.

Hulk can beat Superman for sure. In a comic book.

All out fight supes would own Hulk. But in a pure slugfest (ala blow for blow) Supes would be "smashed".

all of this does not matter. what stan says does not matter. the point is superman beat the hulk and thats that.

I say this with the upmost respect for Stan Lee, but as of right now, he knows absolutely shit about comics. He's only focused on his own era of writing. And in that sense, Hulk of that time would have gotten the crap beat out of him by Pre-Crisis 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 😂

so xmeat, does stan know everything about DC as well? i have lots of respect from stan, but as others have mentioned, he doesn't know whats happening in comics anymore.

Its too hard to tell who would win
