I understand you want to support the Hulk, but don't throw out common sense in order to do so Carver. If some new evidence comes out to support your stance, I'll take your side, but as it stands, the Hulk was stomped by Zeus due to a power gap and not a skill gap.
Rage,
You know when you say stuff like this it makes me want to reply with a combat. Let's just leave it be because your previous argument didn't help your case.

Wow... so are you telling me that Zeus wasn't the better fighter? I never said that Zeus was weaker than Hulk so why wouldn't he be able to catch his punch. That feat alone proves that Zeus is a superb fighter... Hulk just cannot land a single hit on him. Zeus is a fighter and he proved that dring his fight against Hulk. That fight had NOTHING to do with strength. Zeus didn't overpower Hulk not once throughout that fight, he just outbrawled him to the point that Hulk couldn't even pray on landing a blow.Why wouldn't a blast from a skyfather no do anything to a Herald/trans level being (physically, Hulk is at least trans)?
Maybe if Hulk landed blows, then you would probably have an argument but he didn't because he was outmatched due to fighting skills.

Duuh, he was getting hit by a skyfather with magical amped punches and before this, he got hit with a big a** lightning attack from a pissed skyfather. He sure would have died.. I'm not saying that Zeus can not defeat him, what I am saying is that the fight was lopsided due to fighting skills.
In EVERY fight since the begining of time the winner is usally the better fighter, unless you count one-shots or draws.
I think even if Hulk would have got more punches in it would not have really hurt Zeus all that much. Losing to Zeus is hardly a low showing.

You can argue Zeus is a better fighter if you want, but you're trying to turn this into a showing of superior skill which is asinine. It was clearly intended to be an illustration of far superior power and strength. Anyone with common sense can see that.Zeus caught a punch from an enraged Green Scar with one hand under Pak. It's clear that more punches or not, the Hulk would have been stomped either way.
It was a one sided beat down from a far superior opponent. Get. Over. It.
facepalm
You're being a goddamn idiot.
Like I said, I doubt the lightning was anything more than flash. The intention was it to be a straight up fight. That was made very clear. Zeus destroying him with punches with and without the charge supports the stance.
True, he was struck with a lightning bolt before, which certainly helps him save face. For the record, I doubt Zeus was pissed. At least, I remember him simply being annoyed when he smote the Hulk.

it's implied to have been the reason why Hulk couldn't deal with those attacks. Zeus' magic eagle (or whatever, some "bird" that "contains a portion of the magic of Zeus"😉 attacks Hulk in the current issue, and he has to get really pissed off to deal with Zeus' magic.
Still, imo that Zeus match was a low for The Hulk, unless they're making Zeus out to be at levels similar to what he was when Galactus failed to zap him out of existence. Maybe he got an amp when Hercules reinstated him?

the current issue of Incredible Hulks spells it out, a little, by showing how a portion of Zeus' magic (in the form of some mystical bird) can hurt and harm Hulk much more than any physical creature/attack could. To counter it though, Hulk needs to get pissed off (which happened, leading to a dead parrot situation).

yep. to the best of my knowledge though his healing factor has never simply 'faded away' or run out. to suppose it would do so here is pure speculation. if we're talking a hypothetical fight that lasts for years and years, welllll..... i dunno what would happen exactly. i guess his healing could keep him from aging, ala logan. obviously maestro aged, but that isn't 616 hulk so really isn't relevent.regardless, fight would never go that long imo. one would bfr the other before then.
Savage Hulk has gotten very tired after just a few hours of fighting in some cases -- so much so that he immediately had a nap afterwards... Admittedly, WWH will last a lot longer, but I don't think it will be years like with Shaggy.
