World War Hulk

Post by une »

Is anyone else looking forward to this mini series? It looks really cool. They have some previews up at comicbookresources.com. Check them out, they are near the bottom of the page.

I really like the last cover solicit, for the Iron Man tie-in. :lol:

I think that this event has the potential to be pretty good. It's straight forward, action oriented and has a cool premise. In my opinion that's a pretty good formula for a super-hero comic.

Sounds a lot more fun than Civil War or anything before it.

Hulk better leave Mr Fantastic to Thor when he returns. Hulk can have IronMan.

I wonder if the Sentry will play a big part in WWH. After all, Hulk love Golden Man.

Judging by the little bit of him fighting Black Bolt the new and improved Hulk wanking is on it's way. :roll:

I like the cover of him trashing Iron Man.

The cover with him grapling with Hercules is curious because the Hulk should be a lot bigger than Herc.

I'm just waiting for the Hulk to go apeshit, rip Iron Man in half, crush Wolverine into the size of a baseball and throw him into the sun, destroy everyting SHEILD has and change his name to Meastro.

I'm pretty sure Hulk has ALWAYS been the gold standard in terms of strength and durability in Marvel, when he was enraged and his power was at it's peak.

Since they describe him as having the 'pruest rage yet' (or some such) him resisting Black Bolt's sonic attacks dont surprise me.

As a side note, while him being the gold standard is more tacitly implied in 616 Marvel, in the Ultimate Marvel universe it's more openly acknowledged. Sometimes people compare strength by saying "so and so is equal to the Hulk!" and everyone shits their pants like "ZOMG! The Hulk!?! No Way!!!" (paraphrasing, of course).

To be fair though, wanking is a common thing with the hulk. Like the time he held up that 150 billion ton mountain in Secret Wars, or when he blew up the asteroid that was twice the size of the earth with one punch. Wanking is really part of the Hulk's powerset.

Which is why I was highly amused by the joke panel in Godzilla #1 with Hulk staggering out of a footprint and yelling impotently at Godzilla's back. The Big G doesn't appear to have even noticed him.

That was a WEIRD series. One issue they are knocking Godzilla out with chloroform; the next the full force of the Avengers + SHIELD can't stop him.

The Cattle Rustlers did about as well as Iceman + Hercules against Godzilla, sadly enough. Although I wll say that shrinking Godzilla was an act of genius. Apparently he can beat a New York sewer rat while shrunk down to its size, but his atomic blast is only strong enough to light Dum Dum Dugan's cigar. :lol:

Slightly OT but how strong is Marvel's Hercules? How powerful is he compared to?

Class 100, though he is weaker then Thor.

I must say, I'm more stoked for this than Civil War; the latter's premise always felt too contrived for me. Combine this with the Endangered Species event that'll soon be running through the X-books and Marvel may achieve some degree of redemption for inflicitng us with 2006's stupidest event... :wink:

Stronger then Class 100? That means that he can lift/press up to and above 100 ton. Its the highest level. Hulk, Thor, Galactus Heralds and Juggernaut (before he was depowered). It really means the ability to lift/ press anything between 100 tons and unlimited.

Right, this is why I don't like Class 100. I mean, the Hulk is Class 100, and hes lifted billions of tons. It's nutty I tell you.

Class 100 means "They broke the Machine" essentially.

I like to corelate class 100's relative strength to the mass they have.

Probably because that means little can stand up to Marvel's Godzilla due to size alone.

But then again, that was how it was anyway.

He didn't lift billions of tons, he only held up a little corner of it for a little while. Granted, it's a rather impressive feat, but it's not as though he was balancing a mountain on his pinky.

To echo others, "Class 100" is an open ended designation. It's been theorized that there's no actual limit to the Hulk's strength, which puts him at the head of this particular class.
73% of all statistics are made up, including this one.

I'm waiting as fast as I can.

Why do people always quote the Secret Wars mountain as some amazing feat of strength? He didn't bench press 150 billion tons, he kept a small cavity under the mountain from collapsing until the heroes could figure out a way to tunnel out.
