Hulk vs Juggernaut - Marvel Comics Powerhouse

Whenever I watch Animal Planet, National Geographic, or any other wilderness documentary, I’ve always thought that there’s nothing more amazing than watching two bulls or rhinos fighting over a territory or the right to mate. Whenever the alpha males of a herd are at each other’s throat, one-on-one, it is always a sight to behold.

For the same reasons, and quite literally, just to see who’s stronger, I enjoy seeing the Hulk go to town against another powerhouse. Sure he’s fought the Abomination in several comic books. And those are always fun. But the Marvel universe is filled with many other story arcs that have their own super villains.

In the X-Men universe, the Juggernaut is one of the strongest villains. He is not a mutant. His powers are mystical, derived from the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak. He is unstoppable once he begins moving forward, even if at walking speed. He is suppose to posses untold mystical prowess, enhancing his physical strength. He is also suppose to have a very high resistance to various forms of attacks. And he has the ability to surround himself with a force field for protection against physical harm.

One great thing about Marvel comics is that they have no problems with cross-overing their super heroes and super villains. The Hulk and the Juggernaut have actually faced each other at least at least seven times (Hulk #172, Hulk #402, Hulk #404, Hulk #457, Defenders Vol 2 #10, WW Hulk – X-Men #2, and WW Hulk – X-Men #3). The results are kinda mixed with a slight edge to the Hulk. For the most part, the fights were left unresolved or, at least, wanting. The speculation among fans continue. But to me, the clear winner is and should always be the Hulk.

Todd McFarlane and the Hulk

I quickly touched on the works of popular artist, Todd McFarlane, with the Incredible Hulk. Today, Todd McFarlane is well known for his own brand of products, among them is the superhero character, Spawn.

At some point, early in his career, Todd McFarlane worked for Marvel comics and he penciled Spider-Man, Wolverine, and the Hulk. If you haven’t had the chance to read Torment, buy the trade paper back. It’s fantastic piece of work.

The Hulk vs Abomination

The Incredible Hulk movie was good for the Abomination. Prior to its release, not too many movie goers were familiar with the reptilian looking gamma gangsta.

In a lot of ways, the Abomination’s looks had misled fans and movie goers because he seemed to be something born from water. Greenish and reptilian-looking, in some drawings, his ears looked like gills kinda like the Creature from Black Lagoon. But he’s not from the water. Emil Blonsky became the Abomination from an exposure to gamma radiation, just like Dr. Banner.

Even in the movie, Tim Roth’s character transformed into the Abomination from a series of exposure to the blue serum and gamma rays. The process was very similar to the one that turned Ed Norton’s Banner to the Incredible Hulk. Unlike the Hulk, however, Blonsky’s changes were stable and permanent. He had no ability to resort back to human form, but he kept his human senses and intelligence. Presumably, he also maintained his fighting skills and training as a Soviet spy.

The Abomination was one of the few Marvel villains who can outmuscle the Hulk. He did so in the movie and in some comic book issues. He’s actually stronger than the Hulk if the Hulk had just transformed from Dr. Bruce Banner. Eventually, the Hulk will outlast the Abomination and everybody else the madder the Hulk gets.

Because of their similar origins, the Hulk and the Abomination are kindred spirits in a sense. Except that one was always trying to kill the other.

Hulk vs Wolverine vs Wendigo: The Incredible Hulk #181

Wolverine is no doubt one of the more popular Marvel comic book characters. In fact, he’s number 4 in Empire Magazine’s 50 greatest comic book characters (with the Hulk at #14).

Wolverine has been created to give the Hulk a run for his money. Well, not so much in a literal sense, but Wolverine did begin his career with Marvel hunting down the Hulk (The Incredible Hulk #181). Since then, he has evolved into his own as a troubled superhero, though portrayed at most times as an anti-hero, not unlike the Hulk. Best known as a member of the X-Men, Wolverine is very comfortable living in the gray areas of life. X-Men’s tactical field leaders, namely Cyclops and/or Storm, are very much aware of his propensity for bloodlust and, at times, have to dedicate time and effort to rein him in. Such differences in personalities are central to the X-Men saga and build internal conflicts between Wolverine and other members of the team who swore to protect the innocent without collateral damage. However, Wolverine doesn’t mind collateral damages.

But against the Hulk, it’s no holds barred. Adamantium claws tear through gamma-fied skin and bones. Bodies are struck with blows that would topple buildings. Through it all, both heroes come back for more. According to Leader’s Lair, the Hulk and Wolverine have encountered each other in some form 16 times.

My favorite moment between Hulk and Wolverine is not so much when they were bashing each other’s head in, but when they were sitting down all by their lonesome reflecting on the battle that’s about to take place with Thanos in Infinity Gauntlet #3. They look like a couple of regular fellas just having a chat.

DC Special Series #27 - Hulk vs Batman - Marvel DC Crossover 1981

Hulk fans always want to see him duke it out with other superpowered heroes or villains. It’s what makes the Hulk or any other superhero fun, for that matter. In the early 80s, the two titans of comic book publishing, Marvel and DC, decided to treat their fans in a handful of rare collaboration. These DC-Marvel crossovers are still some of my favorites.

A Superman vs. Hulk showdown was a no-brainer. Everyone wanted to see that and Marvel-DC delivered. Despite what had happened (Superman pretty much won out), speculations are still abound on who would win.

There was one crossover that is not heavily talked about, Hulk vs Batman. Perhaps because it didn’t make sense to begin with. Batman fought the Hulk twice in the special issue of DC-Marvel crossover (DC Special Series #27). Of course, the issue was not purely about Batman hunting down the Hulk or something to that effect. The Joker had a lot to do with the encounters, tricking the Hulk into fighting Batman.

In the first round, Batman, after realizing that he would not be able to karate chop his way to victory, took down the Hulk by using enough sleeping gas that could knockdown a herd of elephants. Of course, the Hulk did not breathe the gas willingly. In fact, he was going to outlast Batman by holding his breath. But Batman, one of Business Week’s ten smartest superheroes ever, one-upped the Hulk by kicking the Hulk in the solar plexus so that he’d be forced to exhale and breathe-in the sleeping gas.

I thought it was a fun little battle. But the Hulk got the short end of the storytelling script. After all, this was a guy who could hold up mountains.

Just for kicks. I agree with this video on what will really happen in a Hulk vs Batman fight.
