Hulkball

Each character below gets a chance to hit Hulk with the same hammer in Ragnarok exactly as Hulk is charging them. Winner is the one that hits Hulk the hardest and sends him the furthest. Exactly same circumstances as Thor when he swatted Hulk away, pull hammer off wall then swing away. They are only allowed to use their strength in the swing, no additional powers allowed. They can use other powers that boost their strength tho. And their skill is also a factor. All characters are at their best and can use their best showings on the swing.

Rank from best hit to worst hit.

Thor
Superman (JL)
Hancock
Nuke Sub Charged Shaw
Kurse
Hela
Wonder Woman
Steppenwolf

Hela
Kurse
Thor/Superman
Hancock
Steppenwolf
Wonder woman
Shaw

Thor obviously didnt hit Hulk as hard as he could and I believe him to be in the same ballpark as Superman.

One question, can shaw even lift that hammer?

Well, he was physically strong enough to outmuscle Magneto's powers with one hand. The same guy who could, even then, levitate an entire submarine.

Make of that what you will.

Context, he was already absorbing the nuclear radiation from the core before this happened.

I am well aware of that, but the OP specifies this is a nuke-charged Shaw. So, it's him at the level depicted during that scene. At least that's how I am understanding it.

Yup, the thread meant for Shaw after he was fully nuke-charged. He can use it for strength but not to add explode-y force to his swing though.

Ok, not sure how that's gonna work in this scenario? He could be at the top if all of the energy goes into the swing? I'm gonna keep my list as is for right now.

I think if Hela or Kurse hit Hulk he would make a complete circle in the ring and come back and hit them.

He can use his powers whatever way he wants as long as it only goes to strength.

Well, if a casual, one-handed effort was enough to overpower Magneto, putting every ounce of energy he has into the effort behind the hammer blow would probably smack Hulk clean through the arena wall, considering:

Well, how do you rank it then? 😛

I'd have to think about it more before I could rank all of them. Because some of them, like Hancock, is a bit of an unknown, as we never really seem him truly push his physical limits. Feats like the whale toss and the train stop were performed without much visible effort, so it's hard to know how much he could do if he was both sober and really trying his hardest. Also, with someone like Hela, who doesn't have all that many notable pure striking feats, but her strength can be estimated based on her fights with Thor. I will say that Diana is probably near the bottom here. But considering the company on this list, that's not really an insult. And yeah, Shaw could potentially be number one, if we scale his strength off of Magneto, who's consistently been depicted as a powerhouse throughout the films, even before the Apocalypse amp, especially considering the ease with which Shaw did it.

Can one even go through the wall? I assumed there was a forcefield the way hulk went in a semi circular motion

I just assumed the deeper layer was more solid (which caused the angle/direction change), as we still see the outer layer crumple and tear as Hulk drags along it. I am just speculating though. If there is, than he'd probably cause a Hulk arena loop, like you suggested earlier. If there isn't, then he'd go through IMO.

Honestly, I just assumed there was a field because the comics had one and couldn't really come up with a better explanation.

It would be interesting to see how hard Hulk could hit Hulk if a Hulk was Hulk.

Does Thor's lightning aura count as strength amping or as an additional power?

I'm talking about the version he used in the arena fight that only worked on contact.

Def additional power. He can’t use it here.

My bad

How much Hulk could a Hulk-Hulk Hulk if a Hulk-Hulk could Hulk Hulk?
