This "SHOULD NOT" shit is illogical. It's CANON that Hulk can contend with Thor. Like it or not, it can't be "bad writing" if it's a consistent showing within continuity that Hulk goes toe-to-toe with Thor, even when Thor has decided to kill Hulk. WWH would eat him.
I'll spell it out. It's C-A-N-O-N that Hulk has even withstood, with relative ease, a blast from Galactus(of course he can't beat him, but it's a feat that he withstood the blast). Punches from the planet-busting Gladiator. Black holes. Etc. Look, for f**k's sake, we all know Hulk's feats. There's no evidence to show Hulk SHOULDN'T be able to contend with Thor. It should be(but sadly isn't) considered common knowledge that if Savage Hulk can go toe-to-toe with someone, WWH can BEAT them. WWH can beat anyone on your list.
Regular Savage Hulk is also a huge challenge for anyone on that list. In one of the Marvel/DC crossovers, Superman noted that it took everything he had to knock Hulk out. It wasn't even Savage Hulk. It was a weaker Hulk. If Superman has trouble with someone, that means that that someone can beat anyone LESS than Superman. Like everyone else on your list. You keeping up?
If Superman => Foe, and Superman > Rest of list, then Foe => Rest of list. That Foe would be Hulk. A WEAKER Hulk. Not even standard. Standard Hulk would be equal to the rest of the list. Now here, in this thread, we're talking about a SUPERIOR Hulk.
And finally, again, they're COMICS. BATMAN isn't even possible in real life. In comics, if it's canon, it's possible. Hulk's anger and power ARE limitless. Superman IS an alien. Flash IS faster than light. Powergirl's knockers ARE real. Get it? Do ya? It's not opinion if it's canon. It's FACT, dammit, FACT! Otherwise, Batman breaks a leg dropping from a balcony, Superman's NOT a Kryptonian, Flash runs at twelve miles an hour, nobody flies, and Powergirl's knockers are FAKE!
I know what you mean, but as long as I know only JLA Avengers is canon, not the rest. Supes strength level varies a lot depending what he needs to do, the only thing sure is that he´s holding back all the time and does as minimum as possible to to what he has to do. Not less, no more than he needs.
I don't have any problems if you or anybody thinks any version of Hulk could beat anybody if angry enough, I just pointed out that even WWH showed that anger has to stop at some point, voluntarily or involuntarily.
I´m sure that WWH was of course meant to please Hulk fans, but its failure was to let the other characters to appear as idiots when dealing with this one dimensional monster. I mean, they have come up with many interesting things to face Galactus and other major threats, but even Dr. Strange letting the Hulk breaking his hands, c´man.
OK is comics, I know, and making money and pleasing fans is one of the goals, even if consistency and good writing is sacrificed.
