He toyed with some of them and others he outright tried to kill, the point is Thanos goes for the kill most of the time while Hulk does just enough to beat his opponent without killing them. In fact in most cases he goes out of his way not to kill, sometimes saving lives mid-fight. HOTM is one of the few occasions Hulk was able to stop holding back his power and he was destroying the Dark Dimension. Accomplishing feats that not even a mid-level skyfather could along the way. Thanos can't compare with Hulk's strength potential.
No, he doesn't go for the kill most of the time and I've seen Hulk try to kill Thor yet unable to best him so it goes both ways. Even at Hulk's best showing which is all you argue for forgetting 99 percent of his other showings he still hasn't done anything remotely near Thanos' best.
It was due to his healing factor being taxed to the point he couldn't heal fast enough and eventually reverted back to human. Nothing indicated he ran out of power in fact evidence pointed to the contrary.[/B]
You just agree he reverted back due to tapping out his power. Just because you pretend it's something it isn't doesn't take away from the fact Banner doesn't revert back to human form most of the time and here it was painfully obvious he burned out.
^Nice dodge:Before Hulk landed on Earth in WWH, he harnessed his anger and learnt to control it without going out of his mind with rage. Compare this with HOTM in which Banner totally gave in to the rage rather than fight it, this spawned the line: "I'm sorry I didn't do this sooner".

That isn't a dodge I always stated this was prior to his anger revelation at the end of WW Hulk. You just don't comprehend what I am saying and are upset because you jumped the gun and were incorrect.
Yes, Hulk learned and channeled this rage after he burned himself out which makes my statement still hold true at the time.
Banner can leap from human to WB levels in a moment if he chooses to. The proof is all there.Methinks you have a hard time understanding context, unless your just being ignorant. Then again it doesn't surprise me when you believe Thanos can beat Galactus, Tyrant, Odin and Zeus. It would take someone almost completely ignoring what happens on panel to reach these conclusions... 🙄
Thanos is not on the level of Zeus or Odin, bringing up either of them in a strength debate only hurts your case. Thanos' strength was completely ineffective against Odin, while Hulk hurt Zeus. [/B]
Yes,I never disputed this but it's hardly in character only if the situation is perfect will he do so. You have effectively argued he won't ever do this. I agree he wouldn't do so in character and agree but if he did Thanos is still stronger and more durable so it wouldn't matter.
This is off topic.
I agree Thanos is simply beyond their level he's an avatar of death who's currently unkillable.
Lol the irony. You have nothing that suggests Thanos is stronger than Hulk but rather than concede you resort to using durability feats. "Lord" Mar-vell is the counterpart of 616 Mar-vell. If you think LM was any stronger or even more durable than CM let alone being "far above" top tier feel free to prove it 🙂[/B]
Mar-vell is a lot more powerful and changed drastically since their mirrored events until the point he survived death. Acting as if they are the same is ignorant and with a blind eye to the evidence. You made the claim they are peers so the burden is on you not me. 🙂
I argue based on what I see you don't.
He destroyed the physical body of a skyfather level being that none of Earth's heroes or villains could scratch at full power and he did so while laying on his back. The amount of power in that punch would've needed to be astronomical. Jean shut off Banners mind because he has always subconsciously held back the Hulks power (see a recurring theme here?).Planet Hulk and Let The Battle Begin say otherwise 😉 Hulk has never fought Thor or Surfer with the mentality of killing them unlike Thanos, you already know Surfer and Thor would get wrecked if they ever fought WBH in a fist fight. [/B]
Onslaught wasn't near skyfather level nor was he defeated. You lie. It's sad. Hulk needed aid to shut his mind down to boot. 🙂 Hulk was ko'd and Onslaught wanted freed anyway. Quit leaving out the context, sport.
Hulk doesn't fight normally with this mindset so I agree he won't do so here either but has wanted to kill Thor. IH 440. You seem quite ignorant on the Hulk.
Thanos, 10/10. Stronger.
