seems hulk is as popular on kmc as ever and "some" think he has the ability to deal with the more versatile characters around comics. so, let's try and look at things differently here--if you feel monica wins, cool, but the goal here is to see if you can make a logical case for HULK in this one. any takers?

cdtm
By "some", you mean one?

abhilegend
Hulk absorbs her.

carver9
She gets absorbed.

say a typical city setting, standard start distance.

monica has been absorbed before. i'm sure they've been shown a couple times, but does anyone have the scans of hulk absorbing ambient energy? would the scans extend to sentient energy, like monica? i'm thinking of someone like x-ray--a far less powerful character like monica--who has done some real harm to hulk in the past....

Does she even have tp absorb him? Couldn't she just shunt the radiation away from him or overload him with more than he can handle

Is that even possible. Hulk just absorbed enough energy to kill millions. Absorbed nukes and absorbed Red Hulk and an amped Sasquash. Do you honestly think her weak powerlevels can overload the most powerful being on the planet? You're crazy. He absorbs her.

This is who they sent to fight the Hulk just in case Banner tranformed...

And they were still skeptical on if they could beat him. Also, Doc Strange was there as well, INCLUDING Monica. This is her flying back from the area after Hawkeye killed Banner.

If she had the ability to solo Hulk, they just would've brought her. They brought the Inhumans, Xmen, and Avengers just in case Hulk transformed. Hulk stomps this and any Herald that tries to approach him.

where do you get the idea that the cathexis energy was cosmic...? that energy created other gamma powered beings and was designed to drain hulk originally. seems very gamma-based to me... you have something that shows it is NOT gamma-based?

The Leader modded Samson's cathexis ray, and added cosmic energy to it. Bruce then assembled the brain trust to mod the cathexis ray to suck it all back.

It was "cosmic" energy mixed with gamma energy. Hulk was able to absorb both with no issue. The issue clearly tells us it was cosmic energy.

He was weakened but he was also able to take on the Avengers at his state as well. Weakened yes, but still operating ar insane levels.

My point is, it's complete PIS that he can fight the Avengers solo, based on his entire run where it's shown time and time again that he is weakened to the point that being able to see in the dark and float for 30 seconds is a major victory for him.

What about stopping time on an entire planet before it exploded (World Breaker Hulk) while putting him and Banner in astral form (removing banner clean from Hulks body). Let's not look directly at his lows. Looking at everything as a whole, he is a monster.

Monica has already phased through Hulk once before, so there is evidence she could render herself immune to his physical attacks. She actually would have reverted him back to Banner here, but extenuating circumstances stopped that.

She's also jumped inside She-Hulk as gamma energy, although she did it to power Jennifer up.

Not necessarily true. Comics often ignore easy routes to victory for the "sake" of story. I put that in quotes because a good writer shouldn't have to rely on a character just standing in the background to avoid addressing the obvious ace-in-the-hole. If you're going to make a team lose, there should be a plausible reason why it happened. That's part of what made Uncanny X-Force(under Remender) so great. Wolverine and Deadpool never had their healing factors neutered. Fantomex and Psylocke didn't stand around like idiots when a misdirect or tp assault would work. AoA Kurt would port your face off. Whenever they got countered, it was always a very plausible reason, like Dark Beast's tech.

None of their defeats ever ended with you going "Wait, why didn't so-and-so try doing this? Why did they just stand around?" You could feel their desperation because they were trying their hardest and failing, believably.

leonidas
i'm not sure she CAN beat him 100%, but i was more interested in HIM beating her. she should be able to drain off huge amounts of his energy, energy she could use to amp herself and i know she would be immune to nearly anything he could do. not to mention light speed.... i suppose she could hit him with planet-destroying force as well. turning into an uber laser and burning through his eyes and brain may be enough to get her a forum win too, or trying what she tried against thanos.

she would need to be a bit exotic or go 100% all out, but she has options here. all he has is a 'maybe' he could actively absorb her? thought there would be more for him. the absorption seems unlikely to me based on his old enemy x-ray never having had that done to him in any of their several meetings. x-ray was also able to command a type of energy in one meeting that totally turned him back to banner. i guess this could be a stalemate, but i'm leaning towards monica for a majority still. people need to be more creative.

One Big Mob
In all fairness, Monica is a very hard character to argue against anyway. Every little tactic from a physical being or energy blasts has a counter from her showings.



Also, Hulk just punches her. Clean out.

Immortal Hulk is also weak to UV rads, so.....I think she can beat him 100%, lol.

But Hulk can grab energy, as seen with Sentry:

https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_super/11111/111113173/3558401-aa-wwh05-020.jpg

So he could grab Monica as she flies past, and punch her to death. Or t-clap?

He will heal past everything you said. Hulk was active while his body was in pieces as if it was nothing and reformed as soon as he felt the diar to do it. Rogue tried absorbing Hulk and it did nothing. An amped Creel tried it as well. Hulk was still fighting. I doubt these options are the deciding factor for her to win. We know Hulk can absorb energy now. I feel confident she gets absorbed here.

Lol... that says nothing about them not believing Hulk would've killed them or not. They clearly came there to stop him and 50/50 had different opinions about the kids vision. They gathered the team just in case Hulk did go berserk killing everyone. All I'm saying is, their mindset is completely different when they came for Hulk vs Sue. They approached Hulk in the thought of being ready to fight for their lives.

'You're ready to put me away? To put me down?'

'No..we need proof....fair is fair'.

They were there to give their friend Bruce a way out. To prove his innocence.

BRUCE a way out. They brought a stacked team just in case he Hulked out. I'm sure if he would've turned to Hulk when she said those words, the verbiage between then would've been completely different. Do you think she would've set there talking? She didnt bring the team for Banner, she brought it for Hulk.

CosmicComet
Yeah DS is stretching it way too much here. Carver do not let up on this one.

The point of the vision and then gathering that many people was clearly that Hulk was obviously strong enough for that vision to be a reality.

DarkSaint85
Lol.

That hardly means Monica can't take Hulk out on her lonesome, though.

CosmicComet
If Darwin couldn't adapt to beat Hulk, I give Monica no real chance whatsoever.

Hulk has a lot of Hax defense feats over the years, and Monica's power feats are nowhere remotely close to what Hulk has no sold in the past.

Who says Darwin couldn't? It was never tested: the easiest adaptation was to be somewhere else so that's what he did. But who knows what would've happened if "self-BFR" had been prevented somehow.

Darwin had zero problems adapting to Hela. Arguably a low trans.

With Hulk he tried to drain him of his gamma energy and that failed. Darwin wasn't even sure from the get go that this adaptation would work and then when it didn't his body concluded that the best way to fight the hulk was to not fight the hulk and be somewhere else.

The language is plain. No mental gymnastics needed.

Lol... it was said in the comic that Darwin would have died if Hulk hit him again. He fled because his life was in danger. If he would've stayed, Hulk probably would've killed him by mistake.

Hulk was beating the evolution out of him. One more attack is all it took. This is beyond a beastly showing based off what Darwin has done. Look at the last panel. He was laid out.

I was not hurt there. I'm feeling some kind of way now though because it seems as if anytime I mention anything besides Hulk, I'm in my feelings. I've been angry one time on this site and that's when this certain individual went in each thread calling people out of their names, etc... Dark, you do nothing to me. You've been going yrs doing the same thing. I'm use to you...

Monica is more versatile than Zzzax.

DarkSaint85
Well, was clear as day that you weren't amused. Then opened a slew of threads trying to get reactions.

But by the by. You don't think Hulk can beat Monica the same way he beats Zzax? I thought he could.

This is precisely why I brought Zzaxx up. Energy form, yet Hulk punches him out just fine.

Philosophía
Originally posted by leonidas

Yes, because Monica obviously isn't moving at speeds for which Hulk is a statue, and she can't change her frequency instantly, and Hulk obviously has feats for grabbing every type of energy, and she'd go right into his open hand...

Oh, wait.

leonidas
lol i brought up the speed thing only once. didn't seem entirely fair....

re: zzzax: zzzax is actually an energy entity encased in an em field. think something like mag's force field. iow the field is what is actually being punched by hulk. at least that's the way i've always interpreted it. the same can be said for a lot of energy being i'd think. monica is ACTUALLY a living hologram. if hulk CAN in fact hit her, he could in fact punch sunlight. not sure that's an argument i would make, but that does seem to be the best hulk can do in this battle. i dunno, maybe it's just a stalemate if you don't think she can ko him (not you ds, i'm speaking to people in general). /shrug

He doesn't. Of the 3 times I'm aware they've fought, Hulk was saved via tech.

1. Hawkeye, commenting that Hulk's attacks aren't doing anything, saves Hulk via tech arrow.
2. A helicopter pilot saves Hulk via improvised tech which disrupts Zzzax.
3. Banner had enough control over Hulk to use environmental tech to BFR Zzzax into space.

Zzzax was slapping Red Hulk around too.

Zzzax is obscure, but he is as legit as they come. He doesn't care about phsyical damage and can amp off available electricity mid-fight. He's a terrible matchup for most bricks. He's ran into Luke Cage, Cable, Iron Man, She-Hulk and the Avengers too. Same deal. They win with exotic attacks/tech. You aren't just punching him out. There's a reason when Lyra fought those women with the powers of Hulk's 3 greatest foes, one of them had Zzzax's powers.

Zzzax showings are evidence in favor of Monica tbh. Sure, Hulk can punch Zzzax, but it accomplishes nothing. Zzzax always seems like he will win before tech is introduced, and he physically bounces Hulk around like a ping pong ball sometimes.

Zzzax would already beat Hulk. Monica is like Zzzax, except she isn't limited to electricity, moves at light speed, and she's already shown she can phase through Hulk. She's also much more intelligent.

3. Banner had enough control over Hulk to use environmental tech to BFR Zzzax into space.

Zzzax was slapping Red Hulk around too.

Hulk has received so many upgrades after his last fight against zzz, it makes your comment obsolete. He JUST received 2 upgrades. Hulk literally stood in one spot while living lightning poured everything he had at Hulk without Hulk even moving an inch (living lightning has dazed Gladiator). Current Hulk>>>>>>>Classic Hulk.

True dat.

Even in TAS, he only got beaten when Hulk tackled him into the water...

Zzzax usually needs to feed and taken completely by rage when he appears. Might interfere with his ability to think.

This isn't Hulk obviously, but we saw Axon, a girl with Zzzax's powers, make herself totally intangible when Aberration, a girl with Abomination's powers, tried to hit her.

I can't use it as evidence here, but I see Monica basically doing the same thing tbh.

I guess that settles that, then. If comic writers, even during the Silver Age, have been unable to write a story since the 1970s where the Hulk straight beats one of his oldest foes, I doubt we can.

Whilst Carver brings up the point of Hulk having received upgrades, Monica is ALSO Zzaxx, but vastly upgraded. So I don't think there's a way he can win here.

Therefore, Hulk punches out sunlight energy

Current? Solar rads should do it. It's a huge weakness.

Barring that, it's actually really difficult to beat him. I can see him just powering through her non solar attacks, tbh.

Yeah, Bi-Beast had a great track record against Classic Carvulk thumb up

He just was no match for the Pak Equation.

carver9
Abomination had a good record against Hulk as well. Well, he did better back then vs what he has recently done. Hulk treated him like a kid in their latest fight. Outright stomp. Thor use to do a lot better as well. At this point, Thor needs a team to fight Hulk. Ironman had some good run-ins with the Hulk. He's ineffective against Hulk now. The list is long. Let's not forget Hercules. His last encounter with Hulk, he hurt his hand punching him and Hulk flexed him and Thor off of him.

DarkSaint85
None of those guys create solar rads though.

Well, apart from Tony with Helios. And we saw what happened.

cdtm
Monica shoots him through the eye. There's really no way a one dimensional brick like Hulk (Who isn't even that impressive. He's no Damage.) can win.

XLR87T3
He heals another eye

Then Monica repeats. She can operate at light speeds.....Hulk cannot.

Repetitive approach that serves no purpose. Remember, the got was chopped up into pieces with all of his parts being functional. Two different tiers of power here.

So when Deadpool fights Hulk, and Hulk tears him over and over, we say it's a stalemate even though DP cannot harm Hulk?

i was going to read immortal hulk to find out just how much of what carv has been saying was true, but didn't because i was afraid of what i'd see. laughing out loud

why am i not surprised? he isn't draining monica--at least not before she does it to him then kills him before he can somehow (still not sure how) return the favor. ridiculous. thumb up

carver9
Here he is draining energy BACK from an amped Creel. READ THE BOOK and stop believing in abhi of all people...

and it was also GAMMA energy. still failing to see how he drains monica if she is in light form....

abhilegend
Yeah, no mention of draining any other type of energy.

DarkSaint85
So which version do Hulk fans use?

I see current Hulk being used. Who has a massive weakness to solar rads (proof he OBVIOUSLY can't just absorb any and all energy).

Previous Hulks could probably do it. But that's not being argued here.

And previous Hulks nearly died when radioactive Abomination came a calling.....

celeyhyga17
What types of energies has Hulk absorbed?

DarkSaint85
Cosmic, when Reed/Beast/Pym etc rejigged the cathexis Ray machine to draw power from the Hulked out heroes (it was mixed with gamma).

Gamma.

That's off the top of my head.

Am I misreading the scans because it looked to me that at the end of the scene in i think IH11 that Banner and Hulk were separated. If so even if Creel drained "all he could" Hulk wouldn't revert because back to Banner since there was no Banner to revert to...i could be wrong though

Deadline
Has somebody mentioned that Hulk has grabbed energy and energy beings before? Also maybe he can generate gamma rays to such extent that it could overload her

StyleTime
Yes, they have. Hulk's ability to grab energy is less important than the energy elemental's ability to ignore physical damage, as shown by Zzzax. Sure, Hulk can throw Zzzax into a building, but it doesnt matter. Zzzax has no body to damage or muscles to fatigue.

With Monica, she's even more versatile, intelligent, already can phase through him, and also moves at lightspeed...

Hulk can't grab her unless she feels lonely and gives him a long hug.

I dunno if he can hold it he can hurt it, right? Plus if Hulk goes WB that's gonna be too much energy

Is this still going on? How has it not ended in "Not happening" on the first page.

This thread is like the Democratic party's inability to accept they lost to Trump *HAYOOOOOOOOH!"

Here's what I hear every time I read this thread topic: "How can Hulk win, after he's already been defeated? How can cdtm be sober, after he's drunk?"

It's just not logically feasible.

Page 2.

I even provided scans.

I mean yeah, he COULD grab her and punch her out.

But then, so could any street.

I find it interesting though that when Monica is put up against other characters (and they're usually DC) the answer is that she speedblitzes them.

Here, it's Hulk who would outreact her.
