Now that we have examined the two major comic companies, it is only proper that we delve a little deeper and look at the characters of those two separate universes and muse over how they would stack up in a mano e mano brawl. In doing this, we should start with the two great powerhouses of the respective universes. In this case, it is Superman vs. the Incredible Hulk. I assert that the Hulk would win this fight.

Born of the fury of a gamma bomb, the Hulk is a creature of rage and strength whose emerald skin is capable of withstanding the onslaught of heavy artillery fire. His leg muscles are so powerful they can propel the Hulk and his girth of 1040 lbs. to a distance of near three miles in a single bound, which is significantly farther than the height of a tall building.

The key power of the Hulk is that the madder the Hulk gets, the stronger the Hulks gets. How does it make you feel when someone punches you in the face? It pisses you off. It does the same thing to Hulk which only makes him stronger. The only chance that Superman has of beating the Hulk is unleashing full power from the first blow, which he wouldn’t do because he is too big of a boy scout. In any normal brawl, the Hulk is going to keep getting stronger the more Superman beats on him. This will lead to the eventual beating of a Kryptonian ass.

Sure, Superman has all those extra powers that the Hulk doesn’t: heat vision, super hearing, super ventriloquism but none of that matters in a beat down. What matters in a beat down is just how much damage you do and how much you can destroy which comes from getting stronger as you get angrier.
Here is their battle in 200 words.

Superman is flying over the New Mexico desert when he sees the emerald monster ripping up chunks of Route 66 because he just got hit by a car. Faster than a speeding bullet the man of steel barrels into jade jaws with the force of a missile and sends the Hulk skipping across the desert like a stone over water. This makes the Hulk angry and as Superman closes in for a second attack he is struck with blow just short of Doomsday’s power.

Superman would then realize that this would be a battle that he had to give all he has and the slugfest that would be engaged would shake the desert. The impact of their fists would ring bells on both American coasts as both warriors tear into each other with power of Titans. Superman’s speed and intellect would give him the upper hand as he beat the beast into a broken and bloodied mess. At this point, his boy scout code would kick in and he would enter a crisis of remorse about how close he came to actually killing a living being. His mistake because while he is crying, the Hulk is still getting angry from the pain of ruptured organs and as he gets stronger and adrenaline surges through him, his body heals.

It is all over from there. Hulk is now far stronger than Superman and he attacks with such ferocity that it is apparent why he is called the Savage Hulk. His berserk rage is not sated until Superman is a primary color smear across the landscape.
