Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I have been in a few discussions about Superman vs. The Hulk. Sadly Hulk fans make little to no valid points to support their claim aside from his brute strength and regeneration capabilities. So I decided to see what everyone here thinks about it. Superman or The Hulk, take a side or not. Just say what you think.

I have to agree with Oncaro.

Taking in a lot of variables, it is fan pleasing to say it would be a stalemate; it is one of the plausible answers after all. But if we look closer at the Hulks mental capabilities, he relies solely on blind rage and brute strength, Doomsday had higher mental capabilities then The Hulk. (Based on the regular Hulk and not the one where Hulk and Banner actually working as one). The biggest factor for The Hulk is the fact that he gets stronger the angrier he becomes, so Superman would have to finish him fast. This would be hard to do, bc Superman always hold back at the start of fights, he is not easy to anger and he will need to go all out at the start of the match. What could possibly turn things in his favor is the fact that he is smarter then The Hulk, and he has more going for him then brute strength. While projectile weapons yield little to no effect on The Hulk, energy weapons are some what effective. Also Superman has speed, if he can accelerate himself fast enough he can do a lot of damage. So for example Superman flying around the world doing a hit and run tactic, picking up speed with every pass; that speed can then be converted into power( he wouldn't really need to travel around the world, just anything to pick up speed). So in my opinion Supermans intelligence, speed, and heat vision could be a factor in him winning.

There is no real way of telling who would win; but if these two where real, spectators would be backing the most human looking one lol The Hulk has anger issues and Superman is a boyscout, if a fight where to break out, It wouldn't be bc Superman started it. It would be that Superman is trying to stop the Hulk, so he would have more supporters then The Hulk. If Superman where to lose, the world would see The Hulk as and even bigger monster and a bigger threat then he already is lol.

So I had been doing some digging and now I am convinced that Superman might be able to defeat the Hulk almost effortlessly. The Superman that is always seen is not what he can be. I am sure you all have seen the Allstar Superman movie right? In the movie it shows what happens when Superman gets to close to the sun, minus the negative effects it gives him in the movie; but it boost his powers greatly. The scary thing is that isn't even as close as what they can get. In a few comics they feather Supermen completely moving the earth. That is not an easy feat to say the least. The earth weighs in close to 6 sextrillion tons give or take (i know it sounds like a made up number but its real lol 6,000,000,000,000,000,000) The Hulk as far as we know doesn't even come close to being able to move something like that. Also at his strongest Superman can withstand damage from multiple supernovas. A Supernova is one of the most destructive things in space and on top of that Superman's strongest attack know as the "Infant Mass Punch" is on pare with a supernova. That one hit alone would destroy the hulk.

But this Superman doesn't surface until Clark gets over the idea that he is not human. When he first found out he wasn't from earth he put up a mental block, this suppressed his powers greatly. As he is now the Hulk can take him, but when he realise what he can be, the Hulk doesn't stand a chance.

Also the fight with Doomsday took place at night, In his current state he is greatly weaker at night.

It depends on the location. Also Hulk is no longer an idiot, especially as Green Scar, meaning he can think. If there ever is a crossover where they have to fight, greeen scar could learn about kryptonite, or kryptonians losing their power under a red sun. Talk about the hulk, only weakness is being calmed down. Also Hulk knows how to take down people with regenerative abilities. In world war hulk, he got in a fight with the X-men and was confronted by Wolverine, where Wolverine boasted about regenerating from anything the hulk could dish out, but it wasn't the normal hulk it was Green Scar. Who then ran up to Wolverine and punched him in the brain hard enough to give him massive brain damage, putting Wolverine in a vegetative state, slowly regenerating, as Green Scar defeated all the X-men, and enslave most of the marvel heroes on Earth.

However Superman is only known for handling his greatest opponents by throwing them into the sun. Once that would happen the hulk would become powered by the sun, as well as by superman, making Hulk ably to overcome the power of Superman.

In the speed department, it a tie because through the Hulk lacks super speed, he will simply gain superhuman leaps, as his leg muscles increase as well. Shown giving him the ability to run faster faster than a speeding bullet. Thus if superman comes at him the hulk will leap at him like a bullet. A bullet the has the same amount of strength multiplied by weight and momentum, and you have to consider if they crash into something.
