when exactly was hulk supposed to get angry? while he was getting beaten within an inch of his life? you see, unlike most others hulk faces zeus didn't just poke the beehive and stir shit up... he dropped a gawd damn house on it.now is it possible that the magics in zeus' punches/lightning somehow negated hulk's HF? i suppose so. was it outright stated, though? no.
no, he really wasn't.
it's certainly possible that the lightning strike in that scene did weaken hulk. but claiming it cancelled out his HF entirely (the point i'm arguing) is completely baseless.

I took that as Zeus talking trash to Hulk so the green giant finally learned his place. Kindda like saying "Get as angry as you'd like. I'll still punch the shit out of you"
Originally posted by Galan007Make me mad enough he says to which he replies you've been hit by Zeus. Any other Hulk can just get angry and get stronger but Zeus is an exception in this instance.
^ the only reference to hulk's HF post-ass-beating was when hephaestus said: "your wounds will only heal fast enough to keep [the vultures] fed."
His strength/healing factor was obviously lowered due to it being Zeus.
^ so you think there was some sort of unmentioned happening in which zeus used his powers to weaken hulk's strength/HF? i totally disagree.
hulk asked for a purely physical brawl, and that's exactly what zeus gave him (by his own accord.) after the beating, hulk was unable to do much of anything because, well, his body had to kick into overdrive just to -barely- keep him alive. hell, a few issues later and he's STILL recovering. i'd wager that it's going to be a while before his HF completely recovers after having to work so hard for so long.
same shit happened to wolverine during the fatal attractions arc.
Originally posted by Galan007At this point it's restating ourselves. Hulk's powers don't stop working because he puts them in overdrive. We saw that in ww hulk him actually burn out and then gain so much power his mere existence was causing massive collateral damage.

He says you've been hit by Zeus so clearly it has something to do with Zeus not hulk being overtaxed.
Originally posted by quanchi112you seem to have taken that comment as: "you've been hit by zeus, therefore your powers were mysteriously neutered." i took it as: "zeus beat the shit out of you, therefore it will take you a while to recover."

either way, there's no proof that hulk's powers were magically sapped in his -physical- confrontation with zeus. based on what has been revealed thus far, he was simply receiving damage FAR faster than his HF could repair it (hence the overly long recovery time.)
Zeus beat the shit out of the Hulk in his own game; we don't need to make excuses as to how or why that happened with wild speculation that's unsupported by the comics themselves. If/when Zeus or another source comes out and says "Zeus' magic/divine power kept Hulk from healing right" then yeah, we should consider that. But until then, as it stands, Zeus just whooped his ass. There's no PIS in Hulk losing a brawl with a Skyfather being.

Pak created new BS magic for Zeus to go along with the PIS story
Pak is a moron
On one hand he writes that they have a fist fight and at same time he lets Zeus use his magic twice
First to amp his physical strength and second to create these magic punches that somehow stops Hulk regen healing
Its crap writing from a crap writer
It was PIS writing in the first place when Zeus was given this power to amp physical strength
Hercules has always been known to be the strongest Olympian not Zeus. If Zeus can up his strength, what is the point in Hercules character?
Originally posted by TricksterPriesti think that also, well at least hephaestus' words make it seem that way
I interpreted Hephaestus as saying that Hulk healing slowly was part of the punishment, and not tied to the beatdown.
Hulk got the snot beat out of him by Zeus and the fanboys are making speculations to excuse it. It was just a damn lightning attack and nothing more. Never once does anyone, including Hulk, claim that Zeus nullified his healing factor. He fought the top dog of the Olympian pantheon and got wrecked to the point that his healing factor was out of whack.
Zeus beats Doomsday likewise.
