simon has worked ironman as well. thor struggled against simon. not sure which ultron, but any ultron is a beast. he is defintely cl100, not sure how you could contend that, and no, abom wasn't jobbing.....herc who got worked by masters of evil was drugged and was STILL demolishing them until goliath attacked him from behind.
that hulk was bannerless and took it to everyone. that was the strongest hulk up until recent hulk changes. and i've read that annual but one showing doesn't define a character. hype himself has good and poor showings. seems like some lowballing happening here......
With context being considered for the Ironman KO of the Hulk of course. Ironman overcharged the MK1 (or was it MK2?) to KO the Hulk, he never did that in his fight with Simon, nor would he unless Simon was deemed to be as large a threat as the Hulk was at that time.
Simon may be a class 100, but he isn't on the same level of class 100 as Thor, Hulk, Hercules, Sentry, Blue Marvel.... the list goes on and on. I never said that Simon was not strong, but he simply would not beat the big boys if they went all out, while he went all out as well. he was never meant to be that powerful.
Simon was never a match for Ultron on his own, while the Hulk crushed his frame with one strong hit, and that was primary adamantium Ultron that was damaged to the point of being rendered physically useless. This was also a weaker Hulk than the mindless one.
When Hyperion defeated Simon, it was Marvel's stance on how a battle would go if these two fought. look at the way that Gladiator dominated Simon. Thor defeated Gladiator. This is all that I am saying. Against the higher class 100's Simon gets worked. Am I really low-balling Simon, or just telling the truth about his past performances against mid to high class 100's? The scan of Nefaria no selling Simon's punches should lend power to my argument, as it is a prime example.
