It is a hard-fought battle between the two with Gladiator even using his heat vision to blow a hole in the Hulk's chest, almost reaching his heart. The Hulk then covers Gladiator's eyes so it rebounds on him. The fight ends when the Hulk throws him into a nuclear reactor, utilizing his weakness to radiation.
Despite being an unstoppable force, powerful beings like Namor, Wolverine, Iron Man, and Deadpool have managed to outsmart and defeat the Hulk. From fellow superheroes to average soldiers, various characters, including Hawkeye and even Batman, have successfully taken down the Hulk.
Superhuman Strength: Gladiator possesses tremendous physical strength, the exact limits of which are unknown. His strength level is dependent on his confidence; as such the more confident he is, the stronger he gets.
Turns out Zarrko the Tomorrow Man sent Gladiator back in time to stop the Thunder God from causing a catastrophe by killing the son of Odin! While unsuccessful, it did give him the opportunity to throw down not just with Thor, but also Thor Girl.
His adamantium claws are one of the few weapons in the Marvel Universe that can consistently pierce Hulk's skin and Wolverine has no problem going for Hulk's head. In fact, if it came down to it, Wolverine could cut Hulk's head off, ending the Hulk once and for all.
It was one of the more epic Marvel events in recent memory. And with this issue showing that Hulk, when mad enough, can take down an actual god, it's no wonder that MCU Loki was so scared when he saw the not-so-jolly- green giant show up in Ragnarok.
Even in a weakened state he is able to overwhelm the Imperial Guard. But that's when Gladiator enters the battlefield. Gladiator shows up and easily defeats the weakened Thanos with one crazy powerful left punch. He then arrests Thanos and takes him to a Shi'ar prison.
After bashing Thor with an entire stone pillar, Juggernaut managed to separate Thor from his hammer – but was unable to lift it as a selfish brute like him was unworthy of its power.
Since Mjölnir can only be wielded by the worthy, Juggernaut has no chance of lifting it. However, that doesn't stop him from using it. In most fights against Thor, Thor throws his hammer at full speed towards Juggernaut, but Juggernaut's mystical force field stops Mjölnir in mid-air.
This malevolent force of nature has used everything at his disposal to attempt to rule the universe, but has fortunately been turned back each time by the heroes who oppose him. The same would be true of Gladiator, who might actually be one of the rare warriors who could defeat Darkseid in a one-on-one fight.
Before he can defeat him, the Immortal Hulk is stopped by the Savage Hulk, who is being emotionally manipulated by the Leader. The Immortal Hulk is beheaded by a monstrous Leader and his heart is ripped out. His corpse, alongside Banner, is taken to the Below-Place by the Leader.
Maximus is a difficult foe to face off against, especially for those who aren't used to his line of attack. But thanks to Black Bolt's own quick thinking in a bind, and the threat of his monumental voice, Boltagon has soundly beaten Maximus the Mad, even to the point of the brother putting the rivalry behind him.
They can cut through steel like butter. They have been shown to pierce Terrax, and damage Ultron, two highly durable & invulnerable characters (New Avengers v3#5 & Avengers v3#21); why not also Hulk? A vibranium weapon imbued with the power of the Wakandan gods. It's been shown to cut through anything.
The Hulk and Deadpool faced each other in a non-canon comic. Here, Deadpool went crazy and started eliminating superheroes and supervillains until there were none left. Yet, Deadpool couldn't defeat Hulk and there was even an instant where Hulk utterly dismembered Deadpool.
However, by forcing Hulk to push himself to resist his power and even stripping off his skin in their fight, Cyclops revealed that his maximum power is something to behold - and may even be able to fell the Hulk in his classic, less overpowered, 'Savage Hulk' form.
Thanos and Hulk have clashed several times in Marvel lore, with Thanos even admitting he was scared to face the Hulk before acquiring the Infinity Stones. While Thanos is usually the victor, it's generally down to him using superior tactics and technology, rather than simply possessing greater physical strength.
The Hulk is considered the strongest character in the Marvel universe, but there are some characters that can match the Hulk's strength and power, such as Ghost Rider. The Ghost Rider, however, is not the strongest of the two, and he is able to defeat the Hulk in Banner form.
The Olympian and the Asgardian are evenly matched in terms of both strength and durability. For comparison, both Thor and Hercules' durability and raw power pale in comparison to the likes of Zeus - a low-key but crucial Thor: Love and Thunder spoiler for any future outings of the Olympians.
Fortunately, as long as he has Mjolnir, he won't need to. When the two faced each other in the past, Thor beat Juggernaut by generating an anti-magic whirlwind with his hammer, effectively removing Cain's magical invulnerability.
In Thor: Love and Thunder, Thor Odinson makes quick work of Zeus by angrily throwing Thunderbolt through the Greek god's heart - but how did Zeus survive this? Zeus even takes a huge fall after getting sidelined by his own weapon.
