My bad.

I think Scott could manage that. But, on another note it took the full force of his twin repulsor beams to down that abandoned tenement?

Hulk has a history of wading through Cyke's beam like through water.

He's done it 4 times, maybe more.

Indeed and he always struggles with transistor powered (trade mark) Repulsor Rays.

Okay, that makes sense. But, do you think it's bad writing or the repulsors are just that powerful? Because the collateral damage looks like something scott could do. I dunno, maybe it's because I'm equating wide with destructive capacity?

Didn’t he no sell repulsors from the Model 42 Hulkbuster though in Original Sin..

Surfer used to job hard or be all over the place in terms of power. I remember Doomsday Man taking him out with a blast and early Miss Marvel was taking the same blast better…

Ms. Marvel, not "miss" 😉

Which is not surprising at all, but Cyke's blast failed more times.

Tony at least gets some reaction out of him.

Wouldn’t that be moreso because they interact more. They’re typically part of the core team of Avengers as well.

Oh, so Hulk fakes screaming against his former teammates?

Just like Mera does when she's sleeping with Arthur? Gotcha 👆

This entire time I thought it was actually significant damage.

That’s what you’ve been really going off of though. “Ughh”, “Ahh” remarks to hype up the repulsors.. well Ok wow.

No, repulsors can't do serious harm to the Hulk.

But they can perform much better than Cyke's optic blasts, as proven on panel.

And that's what this thread is all about.

I won’t really argue against the idea I’m more familiar with Ironman than I am Cyke cause I’ve argued against Tony. But I think damage like grunting and screaming is going to fluctuate by creative team. Durability is going to fluctuate by creative team. How much damage they could do to actual object would be a better determining factor.

But grunting and screaming is not everything - they also manage to push the Hulk away or at least make him let go of Tony's limbs. They do something.

It might sound like nothing, sure, but - again - compared to Cyclops' total lack of effect on the Hulk, that's actually impressive as f*ck.

Blastaar or Surfer maybe.

Scan says the full force of his twin repulsors.

I could give him some credit for using them to free him. I think his performance in Immortal Hulk put a bit of a sour taste for his repulsors for me.

Harpy was legit ignoring them.

Plenty of cases of repulsors being nothing but generic power blasts - sure.

It's just that Cyclops does extremely poor in comparison --- his continuous beam doesn't even stop Hulk from advancing in his direction.

And it happened not once, not twice, not even thrice... consistency is the key. Cyclops consistently sucks:

His brother is a whole different story.

Mind you, it's not impossible to make a good case for Cyke here, if one actually puts some effort in it - but avoiding Hulk as a measuring stick is a must, as you can see.
