It does depend on the writer. Otherwise Hulk would have never been koed before.Iron Man, Thor, Abom, Namor, Doc Sampson, and several more have koed the Hulk before he got strong enough.
My point is that Hulk has both gained strength quick and he has gained it slowly.
In a Hulk comic, I don't see Hulk losing here on a majority. But using the statistics of his strength gain I say he loses.
His power levels fluctuate with the story/writer like it does with every character but it's always been an underlining factor that it is his anger and the threat his facing which will determine his strength etc. How is this debatable?
If you place Hulk in a battle against a mocking opponent who starts out several times stronger than him, the Hulk's more likely to amp up past them and kick said opponent's ass then he would against say Namor in a battle.
His encounters with those characters support my stance. Like I said initially, they either go in hard and all out attempting to knock him out or the Hulk gets angry enough to be beyond them in strength. It should work unless the Hulk's healing factor/damage soak is being played up or his unusually angry at the time.
Sampson took him down with a sucker punch by the way. Abomination did take him down in their encounter when his strength was originally amped, but we saw how that went when he started mocking him etc.
Namor is actually a good point as he was able to stalemate him to a knock out. Of course there have been brief scenes when an enraged Hulk seems to be beyond him.
And Thor's Thor. His the odd exception to the Hulk and his thing.
It's been shown time and time again, placing the Hulk against team threats will simply increase the Hulk's strength and formidable factor. Either Namor, Iron Man, Sampson would do better individually against the Hulk -or at least seem like it- then they would attacking him as a team in a comic.
Your last sentence makes no sense. You contradicted yourself.
