Hulk vs. Lex Luthor

Hulk's reactions and reflexes are proven to be sufficient to tag, track, capture, dodge and otherwise deal with lightspeed and near lightspeed characters.

So, I don't see what chance Luthor has of surviving the first second, if Hulk decides to start off with a meaty punch.

I think I'm misunderstanding you. If by tagging him you mean luthor can't run forever I agree with you, if you think it would happen relatively fast I also agree. And I agree that hulk wins this fight hands down.

What I don't agree with is that it's a flawless victory, and by that I mean that luthor doesn't so much as get to shoot once and it's avengers the movie Loki ragdoll scene all again. Luthor will dodge for a bit, maybe not long (definitely not long enough), and attach the hulk. The attacks will actually phase and hurt the hulk for a bit until he gets angry enough to shrug off whatever luthor can throw at him. Luthors only true hope here is bfr.

P.S. this was a son of a ***** to type out on my iPhone lol

Is BFR even a option? I mentioned it before and someone said he could only really BFR himself as he didn't have anything to hit hulk with to BFR him.

Especially since I do believe that current "Savage" Hulk would basically shrug off any of Luthor's attacks (should Luthor be able to mount any such attacks).

Hulk doesn't seem to be too fussed about rushing humans, if they're bad guys.

I can agree. Luthors suit is geared towards superman, not something like the hulk.

And as I said bfr is luthors only hope. I don't know if he has the ability to do such. He may not in which case he gets SMASHED.

I find using this forum a bit of a slog even on a regular keyboard & screen, can't imagine trying it on a mobile phone for any length of time.

He blitzed The Mad Thinker, he's blitzed fighter jets in the past, he's also run faster than missiles and caught them too ...

He's like Surfer, just with open-hand slaps instead of blasts.

iPhone 5. It's not terrible, I'm decently fast at texting on this. But I'm a MUCH faster typer. I often reply to this forum while I'm at work and I guess I just got used to it.

I dont consider those proper blitzes. his interception speed is pretty excellent though.

We're not talking FTL Flash blitz jobs here, we're only dealing with Luthor and Hulk's definitely fast enough to overwhelm Luthor before he's even processed what's happening.

Hulk's got all the tools, he's demonstrated them in use (against inanimate objects, occasional heralds, Mad Thinker and a few others) as well as ofcourse the ability to react to and process information coming at super speed.

Trying to shake myself free of the weird desire to buy a Win 8 phone next ... Never got an apple, went for android and winphone 7 previously.

Luthor created his armor to fight and take down superman right? I understand his armors purpose is to fight superman and because of that has tons of green rock inspired weapons but surely if it's made to harm , dodge and take hits from superman it can handle Hulk before he amps. How can Luthor not have a shot for at least a K.O. Like using a full frontal attack full power hitting hulk with all he has while hulk is still at his base.

Or is Luthor's armor such a joke that it doesn't even give superman pause so it is just as effective as old ironman armor? Most I remember of Luthor armor was in that batman/superman comic public enemies. I'm not aware of any armors after that.

The only problem that I can see with this type of logic is that the Hulk isn't Superman, and he isn't allergic to little green rocks.

Savage Hulk ftw.

I dont read alot of superman comics but I have read a few so please tell me if I'm wrong but Lex doesnt always flood the area with kryptonite before a fight.
My only point of reference is the fight in public enemies where he has the armor made in the firepits of apokolips. Superman flies from Japan or something and hits lex in the armor and he comes right back for more taking more shots and then heat vision like nothing. He Shoots green beams at him like once (I assume it's green rock fueled beams but it could just be motif) punches superman a bit then gets his shields bashed by multiple punches then one punch shreds the front of his armor and sends him across town.

It still took superman lvl punches. Not saying he lasts long with Hulk I just still think he can pump his shields to max and charge at the hulks head after maybe giving him a distraction if not full on bullrush. If that doesn't work then self BFR. A 1/2 out of 9 1/2 in lex favor.

Lex Luthor blasts are radiation like. Thats the last thing he should shoot at Hulk. I will post scans later of Savage Hulk being shot by radiation blast and Savage grabbing those blast out of the air, absorbing it, then shooting it back at his target "continuously". Lex will probably amp him as well.
