We all know Captain Atom was not using his powers with KMC efficiency in their fight so I simply pointed out why that's not so impressive to WWH.
Captain Atom was holding back. That's hardly relevant if you want to speak in terms of a fight between Hulk and Captain Atom.

Captain Atom was holding back because Angie was his girlfriend. The only way this argument would hold any weight is if Banner and Nathaniel started dating.
Then, I'd say you have a point. Captain Atom fighting in character = more than enough to take out Hulk.
I also saw that you mentioned Captain Atom vs. Mary Marvel. And I guess you neglected to mention the fact that Atom was brainwashed in that case, so there goes your "fighting in character" argument.

Atomic manipulation is hardly necessary when energy absorption will suffice.
And that's not even close to being out of character. In fact, it's one of his main abilities, which is why I said that Captain Atom is custom made to take down Hulk ala Silver Surfer.

I wasn't the one who brought up Monarch. Monarch v. Hulk is overkill.

Well considering Greg Pak has the ability to actually make events canon, I tend to give him more leeway/credibility then online fans.
This makes absolutely no sense. It'd be like asking Rob Liefeld to write a Spectre story.
Pak has probably never read a Captain Atom story in his life, and will never be the author of a Captain Atom title. Therefore, his opinion isn't anymore justified than your average schmo.
Guarantee you that I know more about Nathaniel than he does.

IOW, out of character.
False. Out of character would be for Captain Atom to go h2h against Hulk while neglecting his energy manipulation powers. That's the only way Hulk would have a legitimate shot at defeating Atom.
In character, Atom rapes Hulk. On KMC, Atom rapes Hulk. Out of character, Atom rapes Hulk. The way Papa Smurph wants Nathaniel to be portrayed... eh, I guess Hulk wins. srug
