Tony, you're drunk again?
Morlun doesn't have many appearances - read them and educate yourself, buddy. Or just look for the scans here and there... it's not much effort. Yamcha just posted some scans from Black Panther series, his latest showings.

Morlun should win. Still have a hard time thinking of him as a Spidey villain.
Parker managed to beat him only thanks to prep and specific kind of radiation or when he transformed into upgraded version of Manspider and drained his energy.
I didn't mind him being overpowered and outclassing Pete as long as the story was interesting. And JMS didn't disappoint.
Originally posted by KingD19With Pete he was holding back big time. Playing basically and Spider-man couldn't even scratch him. Sounds accurate.
Why did he get such an amp during the Panther series? I know he could manhandle Pete, but he didn't seem that incredibly powerful against people who weren't totems back then.

JMS Spiderman was operating at high levels and he stated Morlun hit (him) harder than Thor or Hulk.
Morlun was intended to be an incredibly powerful beast from beginning - that's why Ezekiel knew the metal dome with adamantium at its core wouldn't stop him, etc.

When's the last time Peter took a hit from either of those?
Sam or Parm (maybe Digi) will know better than me, but honestly it doesn't matter much with all those "untold tales" around - it was stated Colosssus went toe to toe with Thor for example, etc.
JMS wrote a story with Hulk, but as far as I recall he only slapped him.
A good question actually, showings preceding Morlun's introduction need to be revealed.

My point was that Parker obviously doesn't know what he's talking about and that a punch from Hulk or Thor would kill him.

I understand and I agree that it *should* kill him. But these are comics we're talking about. And it's within the realm of possibility that he rolled with blows and/or Thor/Hulk didn't hit him with full strength. The first encounter with Hulk comes to mind.
Anyway, Morlun was meant to be *nigh* unbeatable sans the plot device.
