Shradow Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 [spoiler=Superman] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/72/Superman.jpg[/img] [u][b]Powers[/b][/u] - Super-strength - Flight - Non-magical invulnerability - Super-speed - Vision powers (Heat, X-ray, Telescopic, Microscopic, Infra-red) - Breath powers (Ice, Wind) [u][b]Weaknesses[/b][/u] - Kryptonite - Lead (repels x-ray vision) Superman's powers originate from Earth's lower gravity and its yellow sun compared to Krypton's higher gravity and red sun. His strength and speed are super-human, and he has the ability to fly and cannot be bodily harmed by most anything non-magical. Superman achieves feats such as being able to throw mountains, withstand nuclear blasts with ease, fly into the sun unharmed, and survive in the vacuum of outer space without oxygen. Superman has access to many vision powers allowing him to heat things and view the world through a variety of forms, his only limit in that aspect being lead, which blocks his x-ray vision. He also has breath powers that allow him to freeze things or breathe high-speed gusts of wind. Superman's main weakness is Kryptonite, mineral debris from Krypton transformed into radioactive material by the forces that destroyed the planet. Exposure to green Kryptonite radiation nullifies Superman's powers and immobilizes him with pain and nausea; prolonged exposure will eventually kill him. Other forms of Kryptonite exist: such as red, gold, blue, white, and black, each with its own effect.[/spoiler] [spoiler=Hulk] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3e/Incredible-hulk-20060221015639117.jpg[/img] [u][b]Powers[/b][/u] - Limitless physical strength - Super-speed - Immense durability and endurance - Regeneration and adaptive healing - Resistance against psychic control - Resistance against reality warping - Increased strength from radiation - Dark magic - Ability to see and interact with astral forms [b][u]Weaknesses[/u][/b] - Powers limited by Bruce Banner's subconscious - Calming down Hulk's powers originate from Bruce Banner's self-experimentation trying to recreate the Super Soldier Serum combined with radiation from a gamma bomb. When transforming into the Hulk, Bruce's DNA realigns in such a way as to make it act like a cosmic antenna absorbing kinetic energy directly from the multiverse. Thus his strenghth has no limit and has been described as having "no finite element inside" by the Beyonder. It is tied to his emotions, particularly his anger, so the Hulk's power can vary and even wane as he calms down, but increase immensely if his anger rises. His strength allows him to leap into lower orbit and across continents. Hulk has withstood the equivalent of solar temperatures, nuclear explosions, and planet-shattering impacts. His regeneration powers allow any wound to heal in seconds, and he has adaptive healing abilities including growing tissues to allow him to breathe underwater and surviving unprotected in space for extended periods of time. Resistance against psychic control and reality warping, increased strength from radiation, dark magic, and the ability to see and interact with astral forms are lesser known powers that aren't used that often. His powers are limited somewhat by Bruce's subconscious influence, but if that can be shut off psionically, Hulk's powers can reach an incredible scale.[/spoiler] Make your choice.

Fusion X. Denver Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 In appeal? Hulk, because Superman's too freaking OPed. In a fight? Superman, because they've fought before and he won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 [quote name='Fusion X. Denver' timestamp='1336437387' post='5934689'] In a fight? Superman, because they've fought before and he won. [/quote] That was a popularity contest, nothing more. Regardless, here's my reasoning as to why I think Hulk could beat Superman: For one, while Superman is at a fixed strength that relies on Earth's environment, Hulk has potentially infinite strength (which would eventually breach Superman's invulnerability) and has that strength no matter where he is. While Superman has a definite weakness, Hulk's are more limiters than things that can be used against him (I mean, unless Superman somehow gave Hulk a super massage to calm him down into changing back into Banner). Also, while not an actual weakness, Superman's invulnerability doesn't protect against magic, which Hulk has (for some reason). Superman can fly to the sun but Hulk could possibly jump there. Superman can destroy a planet and Hulk can hold it together. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Robot Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 To make this easier on everyone. Most people think Superman wins by using his speed and heat vision and either melting Hulk's brain or grabing and sending him into the sun. Then the rest of the people who don't agree will say Hulk is stronger and will eventually smash Superman into the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A._Sakuyamon Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 This is one of those match ups that gives victor to the hulk the longer the battle goes on. At the start though, Hulk is lower in both strength and indestructibility. Superman obviously out classes him easily with speed. One good punch from Superman though means Banner comes back. One more thing to be noted, Superman has self induced mental limiters that suppress his true strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoDemonX Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 If Superman is stronger then Hulk, Hulk will grow stronger then Superman and if Superman is to stong then Hulk will go in World Breaker mode which can destory the earth by walking.

That's all there is to it. [/quote] Perhaps but it'd take Hulk an infinite amount of time to reach infinite strength. Anyways, Like I said, if Superman knocks him out before Hulk gets to strong then he wins. Simple as that. If he fails to do so before then, then Hulk wins. It's more a matter of time then anything.

Shradow Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Granted Hulk wouldn't have to reach deep into his infinite stores of strength, he'd just have to go far enough to beat Superman (they're almost on par to begin with). It'd be badass to watch, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Actually, there have been instances where he's been locked in Hulk mode, so we can assume it's the same deal. Even if he wasn't locked in, in a fight with Superman there's almost no way he'd calm down enough to transform back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Robot Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hulk is "the other" guy who act as a defense mechanism whenever Banner's body is in deep stress. Superman knock out The Hulk and when Hulk is unconscious, there will be little to none stress in Banner's body and he would revert back to Banner. That's a win in my book.

Cowboy Dan Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'd have to say Hulk because he reminds me of Bane, and also because Superman is incredibly OP'd and the most unrealistic idea for a superhero ever.

Tentacruel Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 For the record, Hulk is probably more OP'd than Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 [quote name='Comrade Trollestia' timestamp='1336668793' post='5936348'] For the record, Hulk is probably more OP'd than Superman. [/quote] I'd say so. Merely comparing powers: - Superman has super-strength, while Hulk has infinite strength in potentia. - Superman has super-speed but so does the Hulk. - Superman can fly but the Hulk can move around pretty much just as well by jumping, his only limit being space travel. - Superman has physical invulnerability while Hulk has immense durability and the ability to regenerate from most any wound, as well as magic that gets past Superman's invulnerability. - Superman has him beat in special abilities with his vision and breath, though Hulk does have his various resistances and other odd abilities. My list was pretty basic just reading things on the internet, but I have found this site that goes more into detail about the workings and feats of [url="http://superherouniverse.com/wiki/Hulk_Powers/?title=Hulk_Powers"]Hulk[/url] and [url="http://superherouniverse.com/wiki/Superman_Powers_and_Abilities/index.html"]Superman's[/url] respective powers. This bit surpised me (about Hulk): "On another occasion he lost control of his power to a point where he was about to destroy the entire planet beneath his feet, through the sheer output of force from his body. During that time his merest foot step threatened to sink the entire Eastern Coast of the United States." And reading the "Shown higher extents of power" section, there was this: "Breaking Superman's grip, and throwing him into outer space." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Which is what I meant. Unlimited strength is just kind of boring and OP'd. Which is why I still say Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 If it were anyone but the Hulk, I'd agree. However, he doesn't immediately have infinite strength, he has to build up as he gets angrier. A good battle with the Hulk would be a long drawn-out badass party full of excitement until he would eventually overpower his opponent. Far from boring.

Cobax Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 well, if hulk can take down the demigod thor, well he could beat superman.
