You'd probably need one of the old 1970s era writers to get Hulk breaking enchanted hammers and crap like that. Hulk flexing and showing off against people like Blastaar and other uber-creeps was all the rage back then.Nowadays, even people like Pak give overmuch respect to anything magical, mythical or mystical.
Moreover, writers have all their focus on fights, not feats.
Originally posted by bluewaterriderThat was adamantium alloy. And Nul just tore an adamantium net just recently. The idea that in yesteryears, comic characters were generally more powerful is a common one. But it's also an overgeneralization and one that very much fails when it comes to Hulk. 1970s Hulk didn't walk around and threaten to break continents while holding back.
You could see Hulk doing something like the following to virtually anything yearyear, but not today, for instance, with even the shaping of primary adamantium needing scarcely more effort than the fitting of a thick pipe for him ...-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Hulks that can succeed in all of the challenges are WWH, WBH, War Hulk, Mindless Hulk, and PROBABLY Maestro.

Considering Odin's more powerful outright than the Serpent, I'd wager his enchantments are more powerful.

I know but looking at depictions of both, its debatable if Thor hammer is>than the Serpents. Example...Magneto was able to control Mjlonir...he failed miserably at controlling Kuurth hammer.
😕

Sounds like a Legion character.
No, seriously -- don't they have "Matter-Eater Man" or someone with a name like that whose power is LITERALLY to chew his way through anything?
It'd be fascinating to see what would happen if such a character went against a mystically tough object like Mjolnir, or even something non-magical but impossibly durable, like Captain America's shield.

I wouldn't want to face anyone in the Marvel Universe strong enough to do this to Cap's unbreakable shield.
Somebody help me out here, too -- didn't some version of Thor with Odin's power actually strike Cap's shield and the shield dented but still held even though Odin-powered Thor struck with all his might?
By contrast, this little mustached Serpent guy does the following with his bare hands ...

Thor rarely applies his power properly...he should be able to do alot more than he does
Too many retcons. Seems they're actively trying to "update" every classic story they ever did in these past 5 years ...
Here: Somebody please tell me where the following is from.
Heard this referred to as Odinforce Thor denting the shield and this is what I was referring to.
Comparing the physical striking force of Odin(Thor) to the physical barehanded force of the Serpent is my goal, of course ...
Half hour later, think I've got my answer.
Captain America's shield is apparently so lauded the world over that the few times anything happens to it, it makes news.
Wikipedia actually had an entry to it all on it's own.
No real details except mention of Odinforce and denting, but
Avengers Vol. 3 #63 (March 2003) is almost certainly where that scene just shown before, and now here as a link, originated.
