I'm reasonably sure pointing-out butthurt when I see it in a humorous manner isn't goading.

You say Superman was up and fighting after a few panels.
Did you forget WHY that was the case? That Wonder Woman and other heroes took the fight to Konvickt as soon as Superman was dropped to save him further injury? Are you proposing that Superman will have allies for THIS fight if the same thing happens?
Oh REALLY?

Superman's down for a whole 4 panels and is back in the fight by the sixth. And Wonder Woman was the only one engaging Konvikt at all, not her and other heroes like you claimed, and we only see her throwing one attack before Superman's back up. Fail argument is fail. Not to mention Superman won't be fighting like that here.

Pretty common for Superman to do against new opponents. Too bad that doesn't apply here since CIS is off.

The way of an out for the kill Superman, as you pointed out your self, is to rush straight for his opponent. He did it in Sacrifice where he was willing to kill, he did it in Our Worlds at War. He did it in that alternate timeline you mentioned when he was seeking to avenge Batman's death at the hands of Wonder Woman.
Except, Superman didn't go for the kill in SACRIFICE. As has been proven, he wanted to make Doomsday suffer first. And it wasn't an alternate timeline, that would mean an entirely separate timeline. Time was messed with. But anyways, what is that supposed to prove? Superman one-shot killed someone with superhuman durability and a GL Power Ring, which as has been proven, it's auto-protect gives it MINIMUM protection from the level of force that killed WB Hulk. And Superman did that with one punch. And if there was any difference in power level, Superman was Byrne-level, just not holding back. So it's pretty funny you're trying to argue ABSOLUTE POWER against Superman since it proves him capable of killing Hulk with at most a handful of punches.

The personality of Superman, regardless of whether he is being merciless OR ruthless in a fight, regardless as to whether we are talking post-Crisis OR pre-Crisis, is to approach his opponent head-on.
One: Not really. Two: What part of "Character-Induced Stupidity OFF" is so hard to factor for Superman? I see you have no problems with factoring it for Hulk. Oh yeah, you're a Superman hater.

You show me some episodes where that is NOT the case.
And you'll need quite a few of them to be convincing, because Superman is NOT the kind of fighter that slyly hangs back, whether he's going to brawl or to try and execute somebody.
So, Hulk holding back in scans you show means when CIS is off he won't be doing that. But when Superman has CIS off and a whole bunch more versatility, nope, you still handicap him. Way to show your impartiality and fairness, Blue.

Based on Superman's personality, I see the fight taking place essentially as one of the following showings or like the engagement Hulk had with Gladiator.Given that Hulk has gone from fighting man-sized Savage Hulk opponents to King Kong sized renditions of them, as shown several pages ago, I don't see where Superman, traditionally held to be the rough equivalent of Savage Hulk at base strength, post-Crisis, has anything to contend with the version of Hulk Greg Pak has been showing us in recent years.
At best the fight STARTS to go along the lines of Superman versus Mongul in "For the Man Who Has Everything", which started with a blitz tackle, or STARTS as the engagement he had with Darkseid in Superman/Batman #13 where he also blitz tackled his opponent.
But I don't see Hulk allowing him to get any farther than Gladiator did with that technique.
For once you grab somebody, even if you move at speed, you are putting them in your same inertial frame.
Superman moving at near light-speed, grabbing Hulk and trying to take him to the sun or wherever?
How is that any different from a rocket trying to take Hulk as a passenger there? It's not.
It'd be like you fighting with someone on a freight train going 100 miles per hour. Yeah, you're a blur to anyone waiting in their car near the crossing, but not to someone ON the train with you.
And that IS how Superman fights.
Direct, in-your-face, grab-you-by-the-collar (or the throat), lay hands on you and get to know you REAL close and personal.
Delta better have a LOT of showings to disprove that as being Superman's style. And I'll wager that for everyone he DOES try to show like that, there'll be 2 or 3 of the kind I'M describing, for Superman is NOT some Spider-Man figure in a cape.
Yeah, I think Supes'll use speed, D.
But, based partly on the consistent STYLE of serious, no-joke Superman in most of the fights I'VE seen to date, I DON'T think that's going to help him much.
LMAO!! I don't know if you actually believe what you're saying, or you're just grasping at straws hoping you can brainwash people.
Your comparison to a freight train is laughable. Darkseid wasn't able to stop Superman from dragging him to the Sun, and I believe Darkseid is faster than Hulk. Your example with Gladiator is invalid, since we have blatant proof that Superman was flying Darkseid to the Sun at Faster-Than-Lightspeed. Didn't see anything indicating how quickly Gladiator was moving Hulk.
Unless you can somehow prove that Hulk would actually be able to keep-up and react in time, before Superman could do anything. Or do you think Hulk is faster than energy? Superman did this in less than a nanosecond.

If you note the bottom thought bubble of the first page, he goes, "Almost there" like he's already traveled quite a distance. Then see him travel many, many blocks' worth of distance in the first panel of the second page. All in less than a nanosecond. Considering light travels about a foot in a nanosecond( http://home.netcom.com/~abraxas2/astro.htm ), and it looks like a lowball estimate would be about a mile he traveled, he would've gone a few thousand times the speed of light. Why again would your freight train argument be relevant, since they'd be in deep space before Hulk even realized what was going on? The best you could argue is Hulk's stuck in space.
Hell, I just countered your argument without even going into the fact that CIS is off, and you've got NOTHING to prove Hulk could hope to counter these examples.

As for your scans, irrelevant. Konvikt's out of context(and doesn't count in this scenario). Pre-CRISIS Mongul was truly superior to Superman. I already proved New Earth Superman can kill WB Hulk and take what WB Hulk dishes out. Even if we ignore that CIS is off and you've got nothing to disprove Superman's capability of blitzing Hulk. If Spider-Man, Captain America and Wolverine are capable of avoiding Hulk's blows with relative ease and attacking before he can counter, then of course Superman, who's speed puts all of theirs to shame, can beat the shit out of Hulk before he was even aware he was being attacked. You could only argue he wouldn't fight like that, if we ignore CIS is off. Nothing you say can change that he has that capability. Nor would any "victory" here change that Superman is way, way stronger than Wonder Woman. Which is probably the core of your hate.
