Can Hulk really no-sell lightsaber-level stabs with regularity? I am far from a Hulk scholar, but numerous showings of his I have in my mind involve cuts, stabs and other damage. Usually shrugged off with healing factor, granted, but that's different than no-selling.

Lol. 👆 Something to think about. I mean, I'm 32. I'll be dead at some point in the next 2-50 years. Gotta start planning ahead...

Lol. But this is a little different than a What-If, because Legends was in fact canon for decades, and has only been deemed otherwise since the new movies. For purposes of battles like this, it's still in a weird transition. The DCnU comparison is a fair one, but imagine when it was only a year in. Most DC vs. threads were pre-DCnU characters, even when the OP didn't specifically stipulate. SW is in that same weird state right now.So sure, remove Legends and it's a very different conversation. Same with any SW character. But it's worth making the distinction exactly because the difference is so great between the two.
Always happy to help.

I got what Galan was trying to say Digi. I was just being facetious. Legends canonicity isn't set in stone as I've read a recent interview where certain aspects were going to be used in the future. They powers that be just didn't want to bog down writers.
But even with it. I feel Hulk isn't getting the respect he deserves. The guy is borderline trans on strength alone and people are suggesting he's getting force choked is laughable/trolling.

Lightsaber blades are weightless, so the force/momentum behind a strike does not contribute to its ability to cut/pierce *as* much as standard melee weaponry. The heat-element of the saber is what generates the bulk of the damage... That's why Qui-Gon, for example, was able to plunge his saber through very thick blast doors with almost no effort:That said, the power behind a saber-strike certainly does contribute to its effectiveness to some degree -- I am certainly not trying to imply otherwise. It is just not as profound a difference as we see in, say, a conventional sword.
I feel like you're applying a nlf to sabers with this argument
Yeah but I mean....hulk stomping the ground with any significant force should send Vader flying. I'm sure his force ability is more than enough to keep him protected from shockwaves and debris to a point, but he's not so durable as to want to risk any sort of melee from the hulk.
He can go Manchester Black on him and start giving him multiple strokes though, I assume.
