What did Dr. Strange do? He gave the Hulk and summer blockbuster fanboys what they wanted, a brawl. He fought completely out of character in a way that made no sense to fuel the mindless spectacle that was the WWH Event. Same as Black Bolt, same as the majority of the rest of the Marvel Universe. KMC rules generally rule out CIS feats, so the majority of this WWH b.s. shouldnt even be vaild. That said, a lot of Dr. Dooms biggest moments came from thinking on his feet. He wouldnt have to sit there and hope his shields could survive while he thought out a plan. The man can fly, has been shown to teleport, and Im certain he could at least disable Hulk temporarily while he thought of something. Also hes clashed with the Avengers and company enough times that Im sure he has a plan A,B, and C already in place for the Hulk.
Also I think it'd be stretching to say Banner is on par or even very close to being on par with Dr. Doom or Reed as far as brains go.
I agree with 100% of your post.
Lots of people are stronger than Doom, thats irrelevant. Why do you think Doom never made any "Thing buster" armor that'd amp his strength up to match the thing? Because that'd be retarded. You dont try to match someone at their own game. Doom instead invents a dozen other ways to deal with thing that doesnt require him to go h2h with him. The same would apply to Hulk. Why do what Strange, Stark, and Sentry all tried to do and failed? He'd simply reverse Hulks gravity so he thrashes around harmlessly in mid-air. Or bfr him, or most likely revert him back to Banner. Who any of a million other things he could do.
Ya know how everyone gives Batman a win because he carries plot devices in his belt? Well Doom has them built into his damn armor.
Originally posted by StoicWasn't Doom earlier taking cheapshots with no shield (as I doubt we'll see Sentry getting the shot to rip apart his armor in an actual confrontation)... as well as beating Sentry so easily that Doom was wondering what the fudge was going on?
Except that on panel Sentry defeated him so badly that to even question it would be difficult.
