i am not saying brainiac doesnt have the strength or Durability which is why i put him in this fight.but, lets look at it like this:
how many times has hulk manhandled, herc, thor and guys like gladiator?
How many times has he actually taken them out when they're fighting for real, though? Not many, and it's usually close, and that's when they fight solo.
Throw in high-end backup. That turns it from "Good fight," to "Brainiacs win."
If this was Brainiac vs Hulk you'd have an argument there. This is Brainiac 8 and Brainiac vs Hulk. Hulk loses.
is Hulk manhandling teams and various bricks as well not enough he has manhandled brick teams as well.
Note he throws them around a lot, but that scan you posted of him tossing Namor and Surfer almost certainly did not end in their defeat, unless they were super-off guard.
And again, you seem to be leaving out the two vs one element entirely. Hulk's herald level. He's facing two herald levels and he does not have a significant strength edge against even one of them. He loses.
