Despite his immense power, the Hulk has been defeated by heroes like Wolverine, Iron Man, Puck, and the Punisher. Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, and the Thing have also managed to take down the Hulk using their intelligence, teamwork, and unique abilities.
He's been beaten before, but always gets back up with a vengeance. These weren't fights based on magic or intellect, but raw strength as the Hulk has smashed his way through enemies, friends, and colleagues to retain his title as the strongest one there is.
Just because the Thing can't beat the Hulk when Hulk is at his normal level of strength doesn't mean he could never or has never beaten a weaker version of him. The clearest example of the Thing's brutal victory over the Hulk was when the two fought in Fantastic Four #13 by Dan Slott and Sean Izaakse.
However, Thor against Hulk one on one gives Thor a way better chance to win. Thor isn't going to mess around with the Hulk- he's going to go at him as hard as he can as quickly as he can, using his vaunted strength, shots from Mjolnir, and powerful blasts of lightning against the Jade Giant.
Rising to his feet, Hulk backhands the Son of Zeus, before pummeling the Greek god into submission as he begs Hulk to stop, trying to convince him that they're there to help. Namora covers her eyes, unable to watch any more of the brutal beating.
Simply put Thor can best Hulk in a fight because he wields Mjolnir and is a god. Complexly said, Hulk can't defeat a divine god with a mighty hammer that lets him blast energy beams, fly, and summon a kinds of weather.
There's no question the Hulk is a near-indestructible force who comes out on top in almost all of his battles of pure strength. However, against Superman, he's outmatched. While Hulk's strength might rival that of the Man of Steel, Superman's other abilities give him a considerable edge against his opponent.
This Hulk even ripped Wolverine in half in one comic book storyline. The Planet Hulk and World-Breaker Hulk storylines saw the Jade Giant almost completely obliterating all the Marvel heroes, even the Sentry. The Hulk is one character Deadpool can't beat.
Swords, knives, and more have been used against Hulk and almost none of them even leave a scratch or mark on him. However, with that said, there are two bladed weapons that can cut into Hulk's skin. Adamantium is something that can cause damage to Hulk.
Apocalypse. Apocalypse makes his way into this position on the list because he is technically stronger than the Hulk. He also has a multitude of other abilities, including telepathy, telekinesis, and shapeshifting.
Hulk was convinced and reluctantly killed Deadpool, but it wasn't enough to stop his healing ability. Once Hulk realized Deadpool lied to him, he became angrier and smashed Deadpool's head to bits with one punch.
In an epic display of raw power, the World-Breaker Hulk and Juggernaut traded earth-shattering blows. However, the Hulk was still able to secure a victory by employing a clever strategy. World-Breaker Hulk let the Juggernaut build up momentum, only to move out of his path and avoid contact.
Hulk goes up against Thanos in a fight but is defeated by the Mad Titan. Though it ultimately wasn't surprising that Thanos would beat Hulk, it was shocking to see the easy fashion that he did it in. It could even be assumed that Thanos used the Power Stone that he had.
“People have speculated whether there was some fear on the Hulk's part about having to face Thanos again,” Russo said. “But I think ultimately what it is, is that he's tired of playing hero to Bruce Banner.” It's not the first time the Russos have said something to this effect.
Physically they're pretty evenly matched, but Thanos is just a much more skilled fighter. No stones were used in the fight. Per Joe Russo: "I would say that he's just that powerful," said Joe Russo.
Marvel fans know Spider-Man is a strong superhero, but it's now official: Peter Parker is strong enough to defeat the Incredible Hulk in a one-on-one brawl, with modern comics confirming that Spider-Man is even stronger and more invincible than his fans assume.
Thor. Thor, the god of Thunder, was undoubtedly the most powerful member of the original Avengers. His power continues to grow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Even if the fight happens with the stones, it'll very difficult for Thanos to kill Wolverine but eventually, Thanos will win given that he has the most powerful weapon in the world. But if the battle is between Thanos without the gauntlet and Wolverine, then Wolverine will definitely defeat him.
Yes he can, he not only welded DC'S version of Mjolnir but also Marvel's Mjolnir. While later on in the story he couldn't do it, it was later retconned in Jane's Mighty Thor run that Superman is worthy.
1 #230, Hulk defeated Captain America easily. However, it's still impressive to see Cap beat up one of Marvel's strongest characters using only his fists and his shield—with some help from Spider-Man.
The Hulk reigns supreme over Iron Man in raw power. The embodiment of unfathomable power, his strength knows no bounds, growing exponentially as his anger intensifies.
Thor. Can Thor beat Thanos? In the MCU he certainly would have, if only he had aimed for the head. The Asgardian Son of Odin was extremely close to ending Thanos at the end of Avengers: Infinity War.
