Where a C lister/underpowered character who isn't Batman puts down someone wayyy above their weight class. Power level matters less here then "pecking order"..

I'm thinking the Rock of Ages story is up there, when future Roy Harper and Atom fry Darkseid's brain with a laser.

Also, in For the Man Who Has Everything, it was JASON TODD (When he was still a lame Dick Grayson clone) who defeated PC Superman stomping Mongul, by throwing the Black Mercy plant at him.

Soooo much sexual tension in this exchange. You two queers are making me moist.

Deathstroke taking down the JLA is about the biggest upset in comic-book history. It's also simultaneously the most ridiculous load of PIS spaz-crud to ever get thought up in the fever-dream of some writer's imagination.

Definitely WWH beating/stalemating the Sentry.

At the time I remember everybody thinking that the Sentry was easily Trans/Skyfather, and he hadn't suffered a lot of low showings yet.

Magneto vs Proteus also surprised me.

Pak said Sentry was equal to Galactus during the time he wrote WWH. That just tells you how powerful Pak intended Hulk to be. Remember, he said Odin Force Thor would've died facing Hulk.

Eh, tbh if you took out the Flash, the rest of that scene really isn't that bad.

Even Kyle had his lows before that book.

I would take that with a grain of salt since Pak had to explain his intentions due to the story being so horrid.

True, he was just answering an interview question about Odin Force Thor vs WWH. Also, what comic book reader doesn't know about Thor? I'm sure Pak is well versed on the character.

The story sold pretty good though and I'm not taking it with a grain of salt since I'm one of those people that think an all out Sentry is just that powerful.

krisblaze
Well, in the What-If where Thor returned in time for WWH he easily killed the Sentry.

So I would rate that a bit higher on the scale smile

The scale of shit that holds no value on KMC. Witer interviews, what ifs, etc

Lol...you would hold that higher than writers intention? Lol, I am going to remember that.

I don't doubt Pak words at all. Anyways, this thread isn't about Hulk so let's move on.

krisblaze
Writers intention?

Another writer's intention was Thor would've killed the Sentry.

And that was an intent that made print. Unlike the ideas espoused in Pak's interview thumb up

Do you have that interview saying Thor would've killed Sentry? Especially with Sentry not giving in like he did. Also, Green Scar did treat Thor like fodder in HOTM. That made print as well. You can have the last word though.

What does it matter how powerful an all out Sentry is when he's written to be a retard? As bad as the Sentry was, the Zom/Strange portion was probably worse. Whatever though, we're not here to rehash that story. If you liked it fine. I thought it was poorly done.

Yea kyle and flash were by far the worst. I could tolerate the others getting owned. Even Z...because she still has human level reactions.

Anyway. A telepath losing to anyone without tp, fl vs parker...im really sick of hearing about that one. As soon as i hear someone defend it i quietly place them on ignore.

A speedster losing

Someone with tk losing to a brick

Someone with size alteration being "seen

Anything written by Loeb...he's all fan servuce

Any hulk comic written by Pak after Planet Hulk

Superman PS

Theres just so many examples

It wasn't Savage Hulk that was strangled by the snake and tbf Joe Casey wrote a shitty Hulk but that loss to the Circus of Crime was silly as hell.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking PIS, just sheer amount of surprise.

True. I was actually more surprised by his "fight" with gladiator and later battle with BB. THOSE were weird

Superman doesn't kill. He will always hold back. But again, it could be bad writing.

Nothing upsetting about that. You expect that about Batman thumb up He has taken WW AND Hulk out with the same maneuver, after all!

JayDaDon
Krona buster?

Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Panther defeat Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man.

abhilegend
Where did they do that?

Dareangel
greatest upset in comics was the douchebag bendis making the story "daredevil end of days" and just letting bullseye trash and humiliate daredevil like he has no skills at all. letting him crawl from bullseye and then bullseye kills him violantely and without daredevil even giving a decent fight before he dies. bendis is a liberal douchebag. this A hole will probably vote for hillary

Where did they do that? Avengers annual where Scarlet Centurion sent the current Avengers to fight the original Avengers lineup. Cap, Hawkeye, and BP faced off against Thor, Hulk, and Iron Man and beat all of them, and this was back when BP was basically just a guy in an ordinary catsuit with no vibranium or weapons. It involved a health dose of PIS of course, but it was one of the first great upsets. Looking back it helped pave the way for many nonsensical wins in comic books over the years.

abhilegend
Ah the alternate universe Avengers.

Originally posted by abhilegend
Ah the alternate universe Avengers. Yeah true, but back in those days it was essentially the same thing anyway, since both universes diverged from a single point the characters were basically the same since not much time had passed. But still alternate I guess.

They found out he leads a group called "The Black Order" and just took it completely the wrong way.

What they don't tell you is that 13 law enforcement officers suffered neck injuries at the hands of those pointy shoulder pads Thanos has on.

13, that is 1 more than 12, and that's terrible.
