The Hulk versus The Parasite (DC)

Wait, so if he can't take a punch without first absorbing sufficient energy from Hulk, then Parasite is screwed.

IMO Hulk can win but he is to stupid to do so Parasite will overload him

He won't be absorbing the punch lol but he can grab then hulk and drain him

Actually, depending on which Parasite it is, he could absorb the punch.

Enya: Do some research. Parasite's powerset changes alot, depending on which version he is. And he absorbs by TOUCH. To parasite, energy is energy, whether it's lifeforce or other kinds. He's like Mantis, but without the burnout and a lower energy threshold.

Kinda hard to concentrate when your brain is slamming into the back of your skull repeatedly.

Or you could do some research over the KMC rules and realize that this is Current Parasite unless the thread starter wants to change it.

Yeah like when he fight Superman?

Parasite doesn't drain Superman while he's hitting him in the face. 😬 That's what Trick was suggesting.

Superman is said to hold back against anyone who's not a cosmic threat. I don't think Parasite would survive a full-on assault by Superman, even without a speedblitz.

Superman knows better than to touch Parasite. The drain is involuntary, Parasite only controls the level of drainage. And the ambient gamma is just icing on the cake.

I disagree 😬

Huh...okay. Well I can't recall him doing that, but they've mixed it up so many times that's not surprising. W/E.

I gave Parasite the easy win, anyhow.

Umm, was it retconned that Parasite can drain without physical contact? Cos he used to do that, and quite impressively too.

Thought he semi-recently did it back in JLA 13 or whatever it was. An issue before Supes bullrushed him before Lex and the others knew what hit 'em.

i wasn't referencing that, but sure, that works. also, amazo used the parasite ability to depower the jla in jla 6, iirc.

then there's the superman stuff, which was what i was talking about.

I knew it was a JLA comic! 😆

I'd normally look it up...'cause I actually have it for a change. But I'm really lazy tonight. So yeah. It's a guesstimate.

Well, I'm not even sure which Hulk personality is current. In Hulk it's Professor, in The Avengers it's Savage, in Skaar it appears to be WWH. 😖

Anyway, if it's one of the smarter versions, why couldn't Hulk just thunderclap and ground stomp ftw? They do start .5 kms away and have knowledge of each other.

But I'm not the most knowledgeable on Parasite either. 😮

Oh. Thunderclap might work. Not really sure what stomping the ground would do though...

throwing a big rock down on Parasite may work pretty good as well 😛
