Why in the world would you use this example in an attempt to strengthen your opinion? Thor is a far better fighter than the Hulk in terms of pure martial skill. There are more things to take into consideration than going in and slugging it out with an overpowering force. However in the Hulk's case this is what he would do, and in doing he would be taken out early on in the match before he was able to gain enough strength to become too great of a threat for the two of these guys, who are the protectors of their respective races.You're also leaving out the fact that they both know about the Hulk's power set. Do you really think that they're going to go easy on him like a bunch of lunk heads? No! They're going to take the fight to him as ferociously as they can to end it. it isn't out of character for either of them to go killer instinct on an opponent. Bill is just prone to lose it a little quicker than Thor is. What? Are you suggesting that they stand there and wait for him to ramp up knowing what type of a threat he is when this happens?
I said this before, and I will say it again. If they act stupid, and sit there waiting for him to multiply in strength, they get beaten. If they go in with charged fists, and hit him with everything that they have they win this in the first 2 minutes in. Why pretend like the Hulk has never been KO'd before?
Explain this statement so that I can understand the full weight of it.
Hulk starts off at high Herald per the scans I presented and shown you that you tend to ignore. He has High Herald fts at a calm state and you have as of yet to provide an instance of a calm Hulk failing to do something physically that a High Herald can do. Hell, on average, a calm Hulk has better lifting fts than Bill, someone you consider as a High Herald physically (that doesn't have a single ft outside of his hammer proving this). The only thing you are doing is ignoring evidence and like I said before, I've found 3 voters and I am about to post our argument in a thread to get their opinions. The people that decided to vote is Darksaint, Bently, and Riv.
Now I am going to ask this again, and if you don't provide proof, I'm making the thread, what showings of Hulk put his base/calm level below High Herald? Also, you said it takes minutes for him to ramp up his Strength when it has been stated on panel that it takes him seconds. Where did you get the idea that it takes 5 minutes for Hulk's strength to increase?
