Most recently, the long-awaited premiere of the film entitled "Avengers: Age of Ultron" took place in world cinemas. The plot tells us about a team of superheroes fighting evil in the person of the robot Ultron, who decided to take over the world.
Recently, superheroes are very popular. Even 10-15 years ago, no one even knew about the existence of such characters as Iron Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, Black Widow, etc. Only the so-called "geeks" were interested in such things. They only read comics in which all of the above characters appeared. But gradually, the comics grew. Cartoons were released about popular superheroes (Thor, Hulk, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, etc.). This attracted a new and younger audience. And with the release of comics on the big screen, everything has changed radically. Now superheroes are a new fashion.
The popularity of superheroes
When did this tipping point occur? When did superheroes become popular? Of course, it all began in 2008, when a movie from Marvel called Iron Man was released on the screens. Good humor, excellent special effects and an excellent protagonist played by the charismatic Robert Downey the Younger did their job. The film shot, and viewers asked for more. The company did not bother fans with anticipation, and already in 2010 a new film was released about the adventures of Tony Stark in his iron suit. A year later, Marvel released two more films about superheroes: “Thor” and “Captain America” (in the Russian dubbing, for patriotic reasons, the film was called “The First Avenger”). And the quintessence of all this was the 2012 Avengers movie. In it, the superheroes we know were forced to join a team in order to confront the villain Loki, who intended to capture the planet and at the same time send his brother Thor to oblivion.
Now it’s very difficult to find someone who hasn’t watched at least one Marvel movie. Films like Iron Man and Avengers have popularized superheroes in our country. What is interesting is that no matter how the guys from Marvel try, they will not be able to fit more than 60 years of comic history into the format of a three-hour film. And therefore, after watching the audience there are many questions like: "Who is stronger - Thor or the Hulk?" etc. We will answer the most common and popular of them in this article.
Who is stronger - Thor or the Hulk?
For more than 60 years of the existence of the Marvel Universe , Thor and the Hulk have crossed each other more than once (this was even dedicated to a full-length cartoon, which we will talk about below). But the question of who is stronger - Thor or the Hulk, still remains open. In this article, referring to comics and films, we will try to answer this eternal question.
Thor vs Hulk?
The Hulk is rightfully considered one of the strongest superheroes. And it is quite justified. After all, if we take as a constant the classic "the hulk is meaner, the stronger it is," then the green monster has infinite physical strength. It turns out that the only way to defeat the Hulk is to knock out the monster in one hit? No matter how. The hulk has almost instant regeneration and is able to survive anything. For example, during its existence on the pages of comics, the green giant managed to survive shots in the head and other parts of the body, deprivation of internal organs, limbs, epidermis, travel in outer space and much more. Hulk regeneration also obeys the rule "The angrier ..." That is, the speed of Hulk regeneration directly depends on its level of anger. In addition to two main abilities, he has a host of other, less significant (immunity to viruses, absorption of gamma radiation, adaptation to the environment, superhuman speed, jumping and much more).
What can Thor oppose to the green giant? First of all, it's worth talking about the origin of this superhero. As you know, Thor is the ancient god of thunder. This means that Thor, like any other divine being, has invulnerability, longevity, incredible strength and endurance. But this is the main trump card of Thor. All the power of the thunders lies in his weapon - the hammer of Mjolnir. Using it, Thor gets a whole okroshka from superpowers (the ability to control thunder, flight, teleportation, invisibility, intangibility, and much more). What happens if you take away his weapon from Thor? Obviously, he will lose most of his abilities and, most likely, lose the fight. But it’s unlikely that even the Hulk will take the hammer from the god of thunder. Mjolnir has special charms, thanks to which only worthy ones can raise weapons, regardless of the level of physical strength (these include Captain America, and in the new film there is an interesting reference to this). And this means that the Hulk will not be able to either lift Mjolnir from the ground, or grab him from the hands of Thor.
So after all, who is stronger - Thor or the Hulk? Who will win the battle? It is rather difficult to answer this question. Both heroes are practically immortal and have incredible strength, endurance. Therefore, we can conclude that the battle between these characters can last forever, but it is unlikely that someone will be able to defeat his opponent. In the comics, the Hulk and Thor fought each other a couple of times. But the battle never ended in favor of one of them.
Cartoon "Hulk vs Thor"
In order to once and for all answer questions like "who is stronger", in 2009 they released the cartoon "Hulk against Thor." The cartoon is pretty entertaining. The Hulk beats Thor throughout the entire cartoon. The green giant (under the control of Loki) almost defeated Thor, but the thunderer used his hammer to deliver a powerful blow to the green monster. As a result of this attack, the connection with Loki was broken, and the Hulk regained control of his body.
Who is stronger - Hulk or Superman?
Since we are talking about omnipotent beings, it’s just impossible to ignore Superman. Superman is a popular DC Comics hero. But despite the fact that both heroes exist in different universes, many fans are interested in the question: "Who is stronger - the Hulk or Superman?" We will try to answer it.
Hulk vs Superman
Superman (Kal El) is an alien creature from the planet Krypton. Superman has a huge assortment of abilities that even the Hulk will envy. Super vision, regeneration, super speed, invulnerability, super hearing, laser beams from the eyes, icy breathing, super power - these are just a small part of all the super powers of this hero. But will Kal El be able to defeat the Hulk with all this "gentlemanly" set? In order to find out, it is necessary to understand the nature of his superpower. As mentioned above, Superman is an alien. His abilities are due to the influence of our sun. And this means that outside our solar system, Superman is an ordinary person. This means that if the battle with the Hulk is conducted outside our solar system, Kal Al will not have the slightest chance of victory.
But let's say the battle between the heroes will take place on Earth. Will the Hulk then be able to defeat the alien? Probably yes. Surely everyone knows that Superman is vulnerable to kryptonite. But few people know that the hero can also be defeated with the help of magic or incredible physical strength that exceeds the strength of Kal Al himself (thus, in the comics, the villain Doomsday killed Superman). Although the green monster is not famous for its magical skills, he has more than enough strength. This means that, having gained enough fury and having received the appropriate level of strength, the Hulk will be able to defeat Superman.
Battle of Superman and the Hulk
Now you can find a rather interesting video in which two superhero titans fight between themselves - Hulk and Superman. The video is small (lasts about 2 minutes), but when it was created, modern computer graphics were used, which made the battle very rich and epic.
Iron Man vs Hulk
Many fans of the superhero genre are interested in who is stronger - the Hulk or Iron Man. The Marvel guys tried to answer this question in the movie Avengers: Age of Ultron. The battle of the green monster with Hulkbuster (Tony Stark's huge suit to fight the Hulk) is one of the best scenes in the film. Nevertheless, the outcome of this battle upset some viewers. They never found out who is stronger - the Hulk or Iron Man. If you are one of these viewers, then you should read this article.
As you might know from the movie, Iron Man does not have superpowers. Tony Stark is an ordinary person. So why is the piece of iron one of the key figures in the superhero team? It's all about his armor. She gives Stark superhuman strength and the ability to fly. But it is unlikely that this will help Iron Man in the fight against the Hulk. With enough fury, the Hulk will break Stark's armor like a toy. So Iron Man has no chance of a battle with the green giant.
