I think I recall a fight or two where he stopped Thor hammering him.
it should be in the respect threads (of either/both).

If he's talking about what I think he's talking about... it was when the hammer was just Uru... as Thor told Odin to get rid of the enchantment.

honestly, I can't recall so I'm trying to look up the scans in the respect thread... but most of the pics are expired... found one that I hadn't seen though:not the best showing, Hulk basically punches Mjolnir as Thor attempts to swat him with it. the Hammer rebounds and Hulk hurts his hand:

Originally posted by janus77Did you expect Thor to keep spinning his hammer for no reason? 😕
it didn't go 'through' its arc, it was stopped and then the next panel shows Thor with the hammer raised aloft.
And in the next panel, Hulk is shown with his back turned... so obviously something happened...
This isn't moving pictures. This is single pictures. It's not a continuous shot.
Originally posted by janus77It looks more like it was only moved to block a punch...
the hammer was coming at him, notice the motion line behind it and the vertical lines signifying an arc.
there's no reason for it to be there to 'block' a punch as Thor is clearly not behind it, Thor wasn't going to be hit.
and as to the other picture, yes Thor attempted to strike Hulk, Hulk punched out in defence and the Hammer failed to carry through in the +swing+ of the attack, IE Hulk's punch blocked and rebounded (the Hammer was next show sent back and aloft) the strike.
there is another scan, which I can't find right now, but that too shows pretty much the same thing. Hulk punching/blocking Thor's Hammer strike.
and these are all weaker instances of The Hulk, far weaker in most instances.

Becauce you expected Thor to keep spinning around or something? 😕 Thor's not smart enough to pull his hammer back after he hits a target?
By my view, he either spun Hulk around, or pulled his hammer back.
Go look through Thor's respect thread and find about a thousand scans that would also support your theory...
Look, Bi-Beast just 'rebounded' Thor's hammer!

Show it.
And that was Thor without powering up his hammer like he did against Nefaria... you know, the same attacks that have damaged Celestial armor.
And Count actually stopped his hammer, full swing, no gimmicks.
And the Count is stronger now, isn't he as well?
yes 'poor aim' or else, maybe, perhaps Hulk swung at Thor's hammer as he has done before. and the result was much as it was before, that the hammer stopped.
I expected Thor when swinging his hammer to actually swing his hammer, and not to have it stop at Hulk's fist and then be shown aloft in the air, in the opposite direction.
dunno, I guess I'm just fussy that way but, having seen Thor swing and follow through many times, I would say that he couldn't follow through on the occasions above and that it might have just a little to do with Hulk's fist meeting and matching it.
as for charging up the hammer, well Hulk's also taken far greater attacks from far greater opponents than Thor, what are you trying to prove? I said initially that Hulk's blocked Thor's hammer before and I showed it, I said that in that first scan the hammer rebounded and it sure does look like it did. did I say I knew how charged the attack was?
Hulk's withstood far worse without trouble, I doubt this'll trouble him any.
also, in that scan you provide, do you see how Thor follows through with the swing in the 2nd and 3rd panels? that's what he couldn't do, because Hulk's fist blocked mjolnir.
Thor usually follows through on his swings, he never pulls back as far as I'm aware. it's always the opponent who has to stop it if he can (or the floor/wall).
oh and Neferia merely dropped a building on Thor and actually neutralised Thor's dimensional opening (not a black hole - it was neither black nor "infinite gravity"😉 with it... that was Neferia's strength showing and it is .... feeble by Hulk standards.

Then that would ruin the whole scene... as the importance was to show Hulk connecting with the hammer, and hurting his hand.
Ya well, I expected Thor to do front flips after he hit Bi-Beast... but apparently, Bi-Beast knocked his hammer to Thor's side.
He's definitely matching it. You know, after he was turned around, and his hand was aching.
The fact is, that the hammer shot Thor hit Nefaria with, was more potent than just a regular swing by far. Therefore, even though Hulk didn't stop the hammer, Nefaria stopped an even more powerful hammer swing than Hulk's non-existent one.
Oh, OK. Too bad Hulk's not fighting Thor here... so I don't get this sentence.
Ya, I do. Because it's not as important as showing them connect shots. Either way, in the fourth panel, Bi-Beast stops/rebounds a full on hammer swing.
OK. Then Thor's hammer is always rebounded. So, Hulk's feat exists... where again? Nefaria actually stopped the hammer from moving anywhere.
The point of the last statement was... ?

Also, look, a Frost Giant rebounds King Thor's hammer! He didn't follow through with his arc judging by the one picture!
Holy smokes!

Look at how many times Gladiator rebounds Thor's hammer here:

ok, now you're just resorting to gibberish and venting 😐.
Hulk stopped Thor's hammer, in both those scans. in the first one, Thor's hammer rebounds and ends up swinging in the opposite direction.
if you can't see the scans for what's there, at least attempt to give an alternative reading that's not just "well look at Thor smacking Bi-Beast", when that scan doesn't show anything of relevance to your supposed point, instead just shows a couple of swings which are, like I said before, wide arcs that Thor follows through on.

There's a big difference between a 100% full force (all of Thor's might) swing with added power up vs. a 1% Thor's force swing with no power up. Hulk only took the latter.
Originally posted by janus77I did give my reasons. And other scans happen to support that... *gasp*

Thor's hammer is shown at his side because it's not a continuous shot. It's the same reason Hulk is shown with his back turned towards Thor. If Hulk had time to turn around, then wouldn't Thor have time to put his arm down to swing?
Yes; No?
And in the second one, Thor merely moves to block it. He's not going to swing at Hulk's fist full bore off his back.
Actually, the one I pointed out, was Thor's full swing hit on Bi-Beast, when Bi-Beast finally 'rebounds' his hammer.
Also, a Frost Giant 'rebounded' Thor's hammer using your logic.
As did a limp Gladiator.
Did they all 'rebound' his hammer, or are you simply picking and choosing?
'Cause, 'rebounding' Thor's hammer seems to be a non feat if all these guys did it.
Plus, Thor didn't even have a reaction when these guys 'rebounded' his hammer. He had a fit when The Count did it though...
First of all, those pictures were of a much weaker Hulk, a Hulk that was defeated by Nefaria in the past, but up until 2 years ago, the Hulk has gotten an upgrade.... hell Professor Hulk was stronger than those old pics of the Hulk above in this thread. Back to what I was saying. before the Hulk was banished by the Illuminati, another gamma bomb blew up in his face making him stronger. WWHulk would no doubt beat classic Thor or Nefaria.
