6.7K opinions shared on Other topic. What people need to understand is that it isn't a competition between Marvel and DC characters. The whole point of DC is that most of their heroes are mythic and godlike. They're the best of what we could ever hope to be. They're the gods that champion earth and humanity. They inspire humanity to be more hopeful and realize we are all worth saving or we could be worth saving if we dared to be better. The heroes in the Marvel universe for the most part are more grounded with more human vulnerabilities. They're easier to identify with as humans and have more human flaws. The universe is more cynical and human driven. It's more 'realistic' as far as comic books are concerned.
Now to get to the question Superman would rip apart Hulk. Superman has been tossed through an exploding star and came out unscathed, he's held a black hole in his hand, and he's lifted up a book with infinite pages. Remember it isn't a competition because most DC stories aren't about how strong or weak the characters are. It isn't what drives their stories. It's about hope, indomitable will, and the spirit to inspire the reader. The writers of Superman have said he is always just strong enough to overcome any opponent. Superman stories aren't about his incredible power. It's about how no matter what happens humanity will always have a guardian angel to protect us. He will NOT fail because he loves us so much even though we don't always love him. That may sound corny to some but that is fucking awesome to me. Would you want someone with the power of Superman to have doubts especially about his morality?
Now Hulk is incredibly powerful in the Marvel universe make no mistake. His character isn't about his power either but instead it's about how the human spirit can drive change in the world. Bruce Banner can dominate the Hulk alter ego who is incredibly powerful and harness it as a force for good. Remember Marvel for the most part is more about human driven stories. He's a human being with an incredible curse that he's turned into a gift or at least as close to a gift as he can possibly get.
They're both incredibly powerful characters in their own right but to compare them in strength is a disservice to them. They exist in totally different universes and serve totally different purposes as characters. At the end of the day all comic book heroes inspire us to be better. Whether it's being inspired by our godlike defenders in DC or the very human driven tales of Marvel, they're still great12 Reply- +1 y
This is the best answer so far.

PS - Kryptonite is not the only thing capable of hurting Superman, he is also weak against Red Solar radiation, Magic, Psychic powers (e. g mind control, telekinesis, possession etc). Superman can't use his X-ray vision through Lead. Superman can also exhaust his Solar energy. Of course, someone as strong as Superman (or even stronger) can hurt him by using just physical strength, and we all know Hulk's strength has no limits, it all depends on how much angry he is at the moment.530 Reply- +1 y
I think if Hulk keeps getting mad it wold be in an inverse quadratic curve manner, meaning that practically he has limits as to how much force his mussels can generate, since it would get increasingly difficult to get beyond a certain value of anger. I believe that Super man has a maximum strength which is far far greater than that of Hulk.
- +1 y
Its not just the size here we are talking about, but the quality. A mass of steel is stronger than the same mass of copper. And you keep saying that superman has limited strength, I wager that so does Hulk, but superman's limit is far greater than that of Hulk, for sure.
- +1 y
Not if he's copper! He will bend himself if he tries and bend steel.
I dont know what you mean by progressive size and mass. He always gets to a certain size and never really exceeds it. He is not Godzilla. Do you think he can beat Godzilla? I dont think Hulk can, but superman even deflected a comet once. I think superman has enough power to throw Godzilla into the Sun. Followed by Hulk if he dares resist. Hehe.
- +1 y
Well, he is not made of copper, and he actually can smash steel ;)
Hulk can bend even adamantium (which is stronger than steel).
When it comes to size, Hulk can grow much larger, if he gets hit by a nuclear weapon, but even his regular size is big enough :D
s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...d063d81e5e.jpg - +1 y
Well, then Superman is not made of steel. He is way stronger than steel. So if Hulk can bend steel then it doesn't mean that he is strong enough to take on Superman.

That is not strictly speaking, its just to say that he is very strong. I mean you have to choose either we are using comparisons or we are not. If Superman is steel Hulk is copper and he will not be able to bend him ever.

Bigger does not always mean stronger. So what if Hulk gets angrier. Where from can he get all that energy? Superman is more efficient at summoning up energy and directing it instantly against his foes. Hulk has no chance against superman. He will be destroyed before he can even get angrier.

You probably drawn that picture yourself to see what you believe. Hulk would break his wrist if he punches superman with all his might. And you keep saying that Hulk has no limit, that is not true. He has certain limits which he can never really exceed. Its like increasing your strength by an amount of anger, but then it would become increasingly harder and harder to gain any more significant increase in strength. Superman is naturally more powerful to start with; way stronger than Hulk.

LOL, the asker is hilarious, Hulk's wrists are strong enough, he can smash through thick walls and steel armour.

Anonymous(25-29)+1 ySuperman is like when you're a kid and you pretend to be superheroes and you keep adding super powers and changing the rules every other minute. Every new superman movie, comic, or cartoon gives superman a new power, or increases his strength, speed, and other powers. I love DC but superman is my least favorite character because of this. Superman would win against the Hulk unless Hulk somehow got a chunk of krypotonite. (possibly from batman cause he always has kryptonite) Superman would either fight him hand to hand until somebody won, pick him and throw him into space (Can the hulk breathe in space?), or use his heat vision on him. I believe it was an episod of the justice league where an alternate version of superman used his heat vision to burn through Doomsday's skin (which can withstand a nuclear blast) and then through his skull to his brain and lobotomized him. He could probably do the same to Hulk.
03 Reply
Opinion Owner+1 y@Jayded1 Doesn't matter if he can breathe in space. If Superman flings him into space, then he's just going to continue floating away in one direction until he eventually collidws with something. Can the Hulk starve? Drown?

Black hole anyone?
+1 ySuperman. He's stronger and has lifted up to 16 quintillion tons. Hulk can lift 100 tons when he's calm and even though there's no limit as to how strong he can get, he doesn't have feats anywhere as impressive as Superman. Not even in World Breaker mode.
And even if he can get that strong, Superman will take him out before that. He'll also never be able to keep up with Superman's speed, durability, and intelligence. This also happened in a crossover and Superman won.
static.comicvine.com/.../...3-superman_vs_hulk.jpg419 Reply- +1 y
@Jayded1 yeah I know but as I said, Hulk's feats are nowhere as impressive. His best one I can think of was cracking a continent with the footstep. He probably could have busted the planet if he wanted to, but Superman has done much more than that. And I'm not talking about Pre-Crisis Superman either. Even World Breaker Hulk has only managed to fight Sentry to a standstill. And he's also not fast enough. One disadvantage Superman has is that he holds back a lot. If this is a more serious Superman, he'd take this.
- +1 y
Superman has said himself he is not nearly as hard to hurt as people believe. it was shown in a recent comic that Wonder Woman is physically more resilient and tougher then Sups. Although Superman can run at near Flash speeds his speed doesn't actually work like Flashes. If it did Doomsday could not have touched him, actually no one that has beaten Superman would have ever hit him. All in all it really doesn't matter what we think or how we analyze it, Greg Pak was given the keys to the vault of both their actual power levels and he said hulk wins, so Hulk wins. I mean he said it while working for DC. that was a ballsy move.
- +1 y
@Jayded1 Wonder Woman more resilient? She's been hurt by bullets plenty of times and it's also been stated that she's vulnerable to sharp objects. Yes he's not as fast in combat but that's because he's not as used to using his powers. But neither is Hulk. He even admitted himself that the reason he prefers jumping is because he can't run fast enough.
And one writer confirming it isn't always accurate since even Stan Lee has said that Galactus is the most powerful Marvel character even though he's written characters who are way above him. - +1 y
If the writer of both Hulk and Superman giving an official on the record answer can't convince you then I most certainly can't. Do you read current comics? Back in like the 70's WW was like you said, these days she can sit at ground zero of a nuclear bomb, Superman can't. In fact this very scenario happened, it nearly killed Superman, she had to fly him closer to the sun to heal. Anyway I am done here. I can see you are the type that just likes to argue and no matter how much fact is shown to you, you will still refuse to listen.

@Jayded1 yes she's always been able to survive explosions but she's still vulnerable to sharp objects. Basically anything that can pierce.

I own a comic book store so prepare to be ultra-nerded. The guy who wrote the Hulk comic for a number of years now currently writes Superman. So no one more fully understands their power level. He went on record while working for DC and writing Superman that Superman can not beat Hulk. Basically at the start of the fight Superman is much stronger, the problem is the Hulk heals faster then Wolverine, Superman could rip him in half and he still comes back. Superman has a limit on his strength, Hulk has no limit, the stronger Hulk needs to be the stronger he becomes till he beats his opponent. So basically after some fighting he would just crush Superman, I mean Doomsday can do and has done it and he is a weaker Hulk. Superman has stated in comics a number of times he isn't really super tough, he is just super strong. He gets hurt all the time. Wonder Woman is actually physically tougher then Superman.

this would be a real fair fight!
but as much as I hate Superman and the whole DC universe I have to give him the victory. I mean The Hulk may pack a little more strength than Superman during fight as he is gonna get matter and matter as Superman continues to evade his attacks but we must not forget that Superman is a lot faster than Hulk.
Superman can make tornadoes if he flies around in circles nonstop. therefore if he creates a tornado around Hulk he can no doubt paralyze him and cut off his supply of oxygen02 Reply- +1 y
@Jayded1 oh well he will still be paralyzed if he gets cough in the tornado, Superman can take a real good advantage on this. I want to say he can use his heat vision to laser off Hulk's head but then again I think Superman's heat vision is powerful enough to burn through Hulk's skin that fast

Anonymous(30-35)+1 ySuperman will win. All that Superman has to do is go up into space and then fly downward towards the Hulk at Near light speed which will vaporize the Hulk on impact. Even if Superman missed by miles the Hulk will still be destroyed by the intense heat generationed when Superman hits the Earth's atmosphere. A near light speed impact will smash each air atom like a atom smasher. The temperature will be hundreds of millions of degrees.

enough heat = gamma rays = Hulk food. Other than the fact a 220 lb man (guesstimate) flying at 99% ligthtspeed has the kinetic energy of over 11 gigatons of TNT when he hits the ground = more than every nations' nuclear arsenal combined.
