Stan Lee's opinion about Hulk vs Superman

at the very least it confirms something a lot of people here wish to deny. and that is that The Hulk, was created to be "the strongest one there is".

he is the personification of overcoming strength, whatever the endeavour, he has the strength to rise to it and rise above it...

except Stan never came up with Superman and the guys at DC obviously lost any and all touch with good writing and instead became messianically driven to make Superman truly super, rather than just leave the super as quaint 30s hyperbole. so Superman's strength, though initially not all that impressive, has now got this amping quality to it too (though I doubt it increases over the course of a fight, doesn't he need to sundip or whatever), so if Hulk's got ahold of Superman, there's every reason why, he should be able to tear him apart...

anyway, the simplest way to see it is that Hulk could not catch Superman if he's flying in near earth orbit, but superman could heatvision him, could chuck asteroids at him and consider all manner of ineffective attacks (as Hulk would be resilient to them all - durability shoots through the stratosphere as his blood boils up).

so ... most likely a stalemate or a bfr victory for Superman.

Come on, this is Stan Lee we're talking about. He's a great guy, but anyone who's ever asked him a question (concerning comic book characters) will know that he almost never gives any real answers. He just doesn't take comic books as seriously as we do, so he's under the impression that giving a light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek answer is more than enough.

he's right and we's wrong.
comics are lighthearted, nonsensical entertainment.

Yes, but comic book fans tend to be VERY serious about their nonsense.

Didn't Stan Lee also say he thought Thor would be stronger or more powerful then Hulk.

What does Stan Lee know about Superman? Hell what does he even know about the hulk of today? To take that quote as indisputable evidence for Hulk beating Superman would be retarded, to say the least. But hey, desperate fanboys will look for anything to back up their opinion.

accept it guys, HULK wins no question!

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.

I agree if Thor and Supes use all their abilities in a fight against Hulk they'll win 10/10.

I back Stan on this, But thats in a straight fist fight in a confined area. Have no doubt, Hulk would outlast, and eventually beat the living hell of out Superman. But this would be the stupid way for Superman to take Hulk on...which is similar to how he died fighting Doomsday.

However in an open environment - Superman has other useful abilities. He could pull off victories.
Mobility via flight, given sufficent space to pick up any amount of speed, get recharged by taking sundips...I could go on... One of the reasons I consider Superman weaker than he could be is that he fails to do the smart thing with his abilities and is often made quite retarded in thinking...depending on the writer. Superman is SO inconsistant in his feats and ability scale - its annoying.

I dont really get the whole Superman vs Hulk thing though. Hulk is the strongest one there is, But Superman is more of a total package as far as superpowers go (Dispite the fact that most wouldnt really harm Hulk)

The fact is these two would never "fight" as it makes no sense for either and there is no motivation. The are generally considered "good guys"

Stan lee created hulk, and with that in mind, im sure stan lee knows what hulks original intent was. From a creative standpoint, i dont disagree with him. Itd be better if the creater of superman voiced his opinion as well

Hulk is Marvels property, Marvel was Stans baby, I'm not surprised he votes for the Hulk. Would Superman be Stans creation he would surely be the winner in Stans mind. Anyway, maybe Stan was talking about the "Imagine Stan Lees Superman" 😄.

Hulk wins in a pure h2h fight because Marvel labels him the strongest there is? Show me one thing Hulk has done that Superman could not.

Maybe Hulk could be the first incarnation of Superman. That version couldn't even fly.

Hulk - documented exponentially unlimited strength. Powered by and drawn from an extradimensional source. Speculated to have strength as unlimited as the universe itself.

Superman - unknown limit but definitely finite and uses stored solar energy from the sun...Kryptononians are as powerful as they are in vinicinity to the earths sun.

yawn It from Marvel documentation. It may be lame or whatever, but its how he is classified.

Then you have the fact that he is near-invulnerable WITH a healing factor stronger than wolverines.

On top of that he is stated to be able to boost his regeneration speed and durability when angered.

i think this is a fair line of thought 😎

Next issue we have Stan Lee's opinion on, Aunt May vs Superman

"Aunt may would use her flying powers and super strength to bring superman down."

funny how he's said other things regarding th fight. And He said Thor beats Superman
