Punch through Hulk's head...

We've seen a few characters punch through someone's head over the years (Black Adam comes to mind). If executed correctly the technique can be devastating.

Now we all know that Hulk has a pretty good healing factor. But he doesn't have an adamantium skull like Wolverine's or invulnerability like Juggernaut's. So what would happen if someone succeeded in doing the punch right through his head and out the other side? Would the HF heal him right up good as new? Heal him up but with brain damage and/or memory/personality loss? Or would such an attack outright kill him?

And in your opinion which characters have the strength to actually pull off this attack on Hulk?

For the benefit of the topic - durability test, not a fight - we will assume that the Hulk is standing there and taking the hit, and that he is at average savage Hulk sort of levels, not at calm base level.

He'd heal eventually. As for who can do it... Um... Black Adam?big grin

Colossus-Big C
if you puch through his head it would heal around your arm before you can even move back, thats how fast his healing factor is, someone punched through his stomach and it healed around there fist

Trackz
I think decapitation is a way to kill the hulk

Priest
honestly no body would be able to punch the hulk's head off

Black Adam punches through his head, rips out of the "healed" wound, and repeats until something gives.....

What'd happen if a character (say J'onn) used intangibility to phase his fist into Hulk's brain, then rematerialized it?

His hand would fall off?

Always wondered about that. I feel that when someone "phases" inside someone the phaser should get hurt, not the other guy. Dunno.

^ That's Vision, though. He's an even bigger pussy than J'onn. srsly

That was Professor Hulk to be fair.

The Gamma Corps weakened Green Scar with specific attacks keeping him off balance and used a virus that reverted him to previous power levels. He became the Gray Hulk. Then their strongest member broke his neck. He reverted back to his power levels and healed in moments when one of their members started to kill him when he was down.

Thats not what happened.Yes they weakened him.But his neck was broke.The general said he would never walk again.The only reason he healed was that one of the members of the gamma squad popped his head back into place where it should be.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened. Exactly. They used attacks to keep him off balance while a virus which was meant to downgrade him was doing it's job. Once he reverted to his Gray Hulk levels, their strongest member broke his neck. So what? People have been underestimating the Hulk for years.

When was that ever mentioned or shown? The woman was choking the Hulk. The Hulk apparently got angry which caused him to get better and healed in moments.

A broken neck won't slow down a higher end Hulk.

A broken neck won't slow down a higher end Hulk. The humanoids that prodigy created reverted him to regular hulk levels.Then all members of the gamma force weakened his neck then gray broke it.

No she popped his head back into place.Hulk couldn't move so he couldn't turn his head around himself.Re-read the comic.

It did.WWH was reverted back to reg hulk levels but it did stop him.

It reverted him to levels weaker than Savage as far as I can tell.

Where did it say that? I can't recall anything of the sort being mentioned in #4. Grey specifically attributed Hulk's recovery to him being stronger than they believed as I recall.

No it won't. It might slow him down when his reduced to such levels where his skin turns Gray in color but an enraged Savage Hulk or Green Scar I'd reckon would heal from such a wound pretty quickly. Especially in modern day Marvel where the Hulk's healing factor is being focused on.

I know Kitty can't do it as Hulk is too dense, but Kitty isn't exactly J'onn either.

When Hulk is knocked unconsciousness he reverts back to Banner. Any serious damage to Hulk's brain and he dies forever.

Also the brain controls everything. When it is damaged significantly (as a punch through the head) he dies instantly. Otherwise, it would be impossible to ko the Hulk. As we've seen so many times that this is not the case.

I'm pretty sure she said something about it being wrong then popped his head back.

I don't think so.His head was on the other side of his body.He couldn't move so I don't know how he could heal from it.Unless his head turned around and healed on its own which I don't believe is the case.

If my scanner was working i'd show you.

The fact that his skin literally turned Gray made it pretty clear that he was at those levels.

I don't recall anything of the sort.

But he did. His the Hulk.

I could have sworn she popped his neck back into place.And I didn't remeber him being gray.

I concede

There was a fight between a dude who reformed instantly and KC Superman. Superman was like "neat trick, but will you reform when I spread you across the Atlantic Ocean? I'm guessing no." That pretty much ended it.

So yeah, characters with the strength and speed to accomplish it could punch up Hulkie's head and keep him dead.

Estacado
Prime with GA could do it.

Hulk is not immortal. Any punch through the brain kills him instantly and permanently. Why is this a discussion?

good point...but something i would like to know is what is J'onn phased hulks brain out of his head.......

Tattoos N Scars
I'm sure Galactus could take Hulk's head off his shoulders...I don't see Hulk growing another head..or walking over and re-attaching it to his body.


Unless, he manifests a similar ability as the Creeper from Jeepers Creepers..lol

Ravage, Maestro, Thor(what If) have broken Hulk's neck, I am sure Rulk(broke Hulk's Arm) and Juggernaut(Put Hulk on a choke hold and was about to brake it before he was stopped by RedSkull) can brake Hulk's neck if given the chance

That's not what happened at all. When his powers returned to him his neck healed immediately. You're wrong once again.

If Deadpool can survive decapitation then I'm sure Hulk could survive a punch through the head (if anyone could even do it). Hulk does only have the best HF in the MU.

right after this he gets a titanium (iirc that's what the metal was) nuclear explosive smothering containment unit air dropped onto him. he almost melts through it but it soon hardens making him into a statue once he calmed down. an issue or so later he casually breaks out and is completely healed with a different persona.

before he breaks out it's not certain how much times passes though, plus iirc he had a flashback while encased so he may have been in there longer than he needed to be.

note* the bullets didn't touch him due to the heat he was giving off, it was a memory (iirc) he was combatting

Kasper Gutman
The Heralds with the higher end strength have broken Hulk's bones but I can't picture them punching a hole through Hulk's head. I even doubt a WM Thor or a Power Gem weilding Kurse could do it. On the other hand, energy/magic attacks can rip him a new one alla Strange/Zomling creating new orafices at will smile I'd say it would take an amped up Skyfather or someone really really close to a Skyfather to do it. Maybe a Supes Prime or a Bor if were talking about a non amped figure.

^ they'd teleport, forcefield, or just poison the spinach

popeye can muscle off any of those situations.

The only thing that really matters is hulk snatching his own head off and its reforming almost instantly.

Yeah... you could say. It wasn't instantly but he reformed in one panel which is good enough for me.

you dont see his head fully reformed anywhere in that scan...

thumb up Not only that but it looks like he basically half scalpped himself and part of his head is missing to say he pulled his head off then instantly grew it back is exaggerating the feat...

psycho gundam
he was missing a good portion of his brain, but it was totally fixed next time you saw him.

the melted titanium seeped into the damaged are also, so it could be argued that it inhibited the rejuvenation somewhat, but he still was good as new after.
