As a longtime comic book enthusiast and avid Marvel fan, I must say that the latest showdown between the Hulk and Thanos has truly been a spectacle to behold! For years, we’ve watched as the green goliath took his licks against the Mad Titan, but now it seems that justice has finally been served.
The age-old question among Marvel fans has been: who would prevail in a battle between Hulk and Thanos? While “Avengers: Infinity War” seems to have settled this debate, it was clear that Hulk posed minimal resistance against the cosmic despot.
But like so many things in the MCU, we have to wonder if this is comic book accurate. Would the Infinity Gauntlet’s most feared wearer really be able to put the strongest Avenger down with such ease? The history of these two absolute units stretches back decades, with the pair repeatedly coming to blows in battles that led to shocking results. In the end, though, it’s that shiny gold glove that makes all the difference when the two have engaged in big, splash page-worthy scraps. The bottom line is, should the situation ever arise where the master tactician and nasty piece of work, Thanos, is without his gauntlet, the ridged chin baddie just isn’t powerful enough to take down the jade giant, because (if you didn’t know already) Hulk is the strongest one there is. Surprised? Read on, because we’ve got the receipts.
Hulk is stronger than Thanos (and Thanos knows it)
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Hulk’s barbaric alter-ego was subdued, but in the comics, it’s clear that game understands gamma. Not only does this, but even Thanos himself acknowledges that Hulk surpasses him in terms of sheer muscle power. In the series “Mech Strike: Monster Hunters,” Thanos, despite being the Mad Titan, was humble enough to admit that Hulk posed a challenge. With a power boost and a monstrous transformation courtesy of Doctor Doom, who is known for his strength, evilness, and villainy, Thanos received an Eye of the Kraken which amplified his strength enough to match Hulk physically. Addressing Doctor Doom, he says, “Well done, Doom! In the past, I’ve boosted my power with cosmic energy when facing this brute, but with the Eye of the Kraken, I can stand toe-to-toe with him.
Recognizing these factors implies that, in a hypothetical fight involving the most formidable characters from the Marvel Comics universe, the Hulk would likely possess greater punching force due to his uncontrolled anger.
In the universe of Earth-616, the super soldier resembling the Human Torch from another world faces a formidable adversary in the Thanos portrayed by Josh Brolin. This Thanos proves to be a more capable opponent compared to Bruce Banner’s alter ego, primarily because the creators of “Avengers: Infinity War” chose to enhance their version of Thanos for an exceptional storyline.
Hulk is stronger, but Thanos is a better fighter
As a diehard fan, I can’t help but wonder what the Hulk intends to do with all that power, power that seems more suited for a punch than anything else. However, compared to the calculated strikes of Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, even Hulk’s left hook pales in precision. In an instant that had fans worldwide gasping in unison, “Oh, dear,” during “Avengers: Infinity War,” Thanos deftly dodged and dismantled the Hulk before the movie title rolled in. It was later revealed by the film’s creators that this breathtaking scene was meticulously planned to establish the ominous tone of the storyline and demonstrate just how formidable Thanos truly is.
In a chat with Collider, Stephen McFeely – one of the co-writers of “Infinity War” – offered this insight after the film: Thanos, by brutally and effortlessly defeating the Hulk, set a terrifying tone for the rest of the movie. As it stands now, Bruce Banner has achieved a balance between his intellect and the Hulk’s strength, creating a formidable “Professor Hulk”. If they were to have a rematch – alas, we can only speculate – this new version might just tip the scales in a different direction. But who knows, maybe there’s still hope for a reprise?
Does a deleted scene leave an opening for Thanos and a second round with the Hulk?
In a potential future for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Doom could mark a fresh start, but there remains a possibility that Thanos might reappear, leading to another confrontation with the Hulk, whom he previously humiliated. The actor who portrays Thanos, Josh Brolin, has hinted at his character’s return. Interestingly, in a scene cut from Disney+, a conversation between Bruce and The Ancient One (played by Tilda Swinton) suggests that Thanos may not be completely gone after “Avengers: Endgame.” Instead of time anomalies creating new timelines, she reveals that she foresaw Thanos’ destructive snap beyond her own death in “Doctor Strange.
The good news is that those that disappeared were not dead. They were simply “willed out of existence” and thrown into a limbo-like realm, which explains why they were able to be brought back thanks to Tony Stark’s sacrifice. The bad news, of course, is that this means Thanos has been sent to that off-the-map domain and has every chance to come back as well. Perhaps this time, though, Bruce’s harnessing of the Hulk’s powers could lead to a rematch against the purple-universe pummeler with a more favorable outcome on his part.
But while we wait to see the potential return of Brolin’s snap-happy psychopath, Marvel Comics has given the angriest pea-green protagonist in the universe a shot at the title. And in doing so, they’ve also given Thanos the beating we always knew the Hulk could dish out.
The Hulk and Thanos’ latest showdown ended with one clear winner
Three years after the Hulk suffered defeat at the hands of the MCU’s most formidable villain, Thanos, the green giant finally got his revenge in Marvel Comics’ “Incredible Hulk” Annual #1. Written by Derek Landy and illustrated by Geoff Shaw, the story finds Thanos on a quest for an Infinity Stone, but his journey is halted when a massive green wall obstructs his path. In this encounter, it’s clear that Thanos meets an unexpected defeat at the hands of the Hulk, providing both the Hulk and his supporters with a sense of triumph as the hero emerges victorious in this particular skirmish.
While the results of this throwdown prove definitively that Hulk can handle his own against Thanos when the latter isn’t boosted by the Infinity Gauntlet, the truth of the matter is that things could change further down the line. The battle between brawny good and evil will rage on, just like the Hulk. On this occasion though, there’s unquestionable evidence to confirm that without prep time or a reality-altering accessory, the Incredible Hulk can dish out an a**-whopping capable of bringing a perfect balance to the butt-kicking universe. It’s your move, wrinkly Grimace.
