Superman is one of the most famous comic book superheroes; one of the most powerful beings on Earth, if not in the entire DC Universe; he is invulnerable, immortal and possesses inhuman strength. In addition, he can fly, has laser vision and ice breath.
There has been a lot of speculation over the years as to who might be able to defeat Superman. In this article we will talk about those characters who opposed the Man of Steel and emerged victorious from this fight. Even if it was only for a short time.
Batman
A person who is at least a little interested in comics is well aware of the confrontation between the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight.
Superman is superior to Batman in every way except mental abilities. The cunning detective knows everything about Superman, including all of his weaknesses. Also, Batman's love for various gadgets allowed him to design a suit that would match the power of Superman. In fact, no one won the battle, but Clark respected Bruce so much that he trusted him to deal with himself if he ever got out of control.
2
Joker
Batman's archenemy actually defeated Superman. The Joker doesn't have any powers that can match Superman's strength, but what he doesn't have is his insanity.
There are several story arcs in which the Joker defeats Superman. He wins not physically, but mentally. So, in the "Emperor Joker" storyline, Pudding received powers that allowed him to change reality in his own image and likeness, in which the Man of Steel became a patient at Arkham Asylum. The Joker also fired a nuclear missile at Metropolis and tricked Superman into killing Lois Lane. The Joker never put Superman down, but he made him do something that made it hard for the Man of Steel to bounce back.

kryptonite man
Like many other comic book characters, Kryptonite Man has had several incarnations. The first Kryptonite Man was an alien who, having passed through a cloud of kryptonite, acquired the properties of this substance, as well as increased strength and endurance. There was also a Superman clone that powered its powers from kryptonite, an alien that was capable of absorbing kryptonite, and a being that was able to absorb any radiation, including kryptonite, and then send it out as a beam of radiation.
As you can imagine, every incarnation of Kryptonite Man has been a great danger to Superman. The impact of kryptonite instantly weakens Superman and seriously complicates, and sometimes makes it impossible, any confrontation with the enemy. There have been several instances where the Kryptonite Man came close to defeating the Man of Steel. However, Superman, being one of the most popular characters in the DC Universe, has never been alone. At various times, Crypto, Supergirl and even Jimmy Olsen came to the aid of the Man of Steel.
4
Flash
The Flash first faced off against Superman when he suggested that his speed alone would be enough to defeat Superman. This assumption turned out to be false. The second time, the Flash used his full potential and strength to accelerate to the speed of light and hit Superman with a force that allowed the Man of Steel to be sent into orbit. While the Flash never had the desire or need to kill Superman, the second instance shows that the Flash is theoretically capable of standing up to Superman.
5
Lex Luthor
Superman's notorious archenemy, Lex Luthor, defeated the Man of Steel several times, but whenever he was on the cusp of finally defeating Superman, he didn't go through with it.
Thanks to his high level Lex Luthor's intelligence has given Superman a lot of trouble for decades. Luthor is a businessman, a talented scientist, a politician and even a philanthropist, but there is one thing that worries him the most - hatred for the Man of Steel.
To get to Superman, Luthor often uses kryptonite, mixing it with technology and suits he has created. In attempts to achieve his goal, he resorted to cloning the Man of Steel in the form of Bizzaro, merging his mind with the powerful Brainiac, and repeatedly rallying with other villains. However, every time Lex came close to winning, she slipped away like water through her fingers.
6
Green Lantern - Hal Jordan
Superman's most famous weakness is Kryptonite. But finding this rare material in sufficient quantity to stop Superman is no easy task. Now imagine such a force that can recreate kryptonite by own will. The ring owned by the Green Lantern is capable of this.
Hal Jordan spirals into despair after being destroyed by Mongul and Cyborg Superman hometown. Hal, nicknamed Parallax, decided to recreate the universe anew, for which he first intended to destroy it. His plan involved synthesizing kryptonite to defeat Superman.
7
Darkseid
Darkseid is a dictator from the planet Apokolips, interested only in replenishing the worlds of his growing empire. Conquering the planets and destroying everything in its path, Darkseid goes to his goal - to become the ruler of the entire universe.
With abilities such as superhuman strength and speed, invulnerability, immortality, telekinesis, and the generation of deadly Omega beams, Darkseid is head and shoulders above anyone who is not afraid to fight him. That is, until he met the Man of Steel.
Darkseid and Superman have met on the battlefield more than once, but more often than not, it hasn't led to anything interesting. However, there was one instance where Superman proved powerless against Darkseid's Omega Beams. Lying on the ground, the Man of Steel writhed in terrible agony, but help came from the most unexpected quarter... in the person of Lex Luthor.
8
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman, having similar powers and abilities to Superman, is a hero that many think can take down the Man of Steel. But since both characters are on the side of good, this assumption remains only an assumption.
However, in one story arc, Maxwell Lord took control of Superman's mind and forced him to do heinous things. For example, back then the Man of Steel beat Batman to a pulp. Wonder Woman, immune to the effects of Maxwell Lord, decided to stop Superman. This resulted in an epic battle between the king and queen of DC.
Ultimately, Wonder Woman snapped Maxwell's neck, freeing Superman from control. But there is no doubt that the Amazon princess would have stopped Superman in another way.
9
Atlas / Atlas
Atlas - God in Greek mythology with the power to hold the vault of heaven on his shoulders. Atlas of the DC Universe may not boast such strength, but is still one of the most powerful characters, surpassing the Man of Steel in strength.
Atlas and Superman clashed in hand-to-hand combat in the Superman 677: Rise of the Mighty Atlas story arc. In this story, they fought on equal terms, but Superman simply could not somehow weaken or injure Atlas. The Man of Steel refused Supergirl's help, only asking her to avenge him if he lost.
Seeing his master's impending death, Krypto came to Superman's aid. Unlike the Man of Steel, Crypto can injure Atlas, for whom the Superdog has become a formidable opponent. This saved Superman, but if Krypto had not come to the rescue, the outcome of the battle could have been different.
10
Muhammad Ali
This is true! Great Mohammed Ali not only became an icon in the boxing world, but also the man who knocked out Superman.
In the Superman V Muhammad Ali comic, aliens invade Earth and demand to be given their own strong fighter to fight him. Superman and Ali volunteered, but the latter stated that Clark Kent himself was an extraterrestrial and therefore Ali was the obvious choice to be the savior of the human race. The aliens decided in their own way and staged a fight between them. For equality of forces, the battle took place on a planet with a red sun, since it deprives the Kryptonian of superpowers. Needless to say, Ali beat all the spirit out of Superman. However, Superman later teamed up with Ali to defeat the aliens and save humanity.
11
Captain Marvel / Shazam
Kryptonite isn't Superman's only weakness. He also has a low magic resistance threshold. Whenever he goes up against any being that has magic, the Man of Steel has a tough time.
Captain Marvel, also known as Shazam, is equal in strength to Superman, but magical lightning gives him a strong advantage over the Man of Steel. The two have fought on numerous occasions, with many of the battles being won by Shazam. He must owe all his victories precisely to magical lightning. The only reason Shazam didn't completely defeat Superman is because the use of magic gradually drains Captain Marvel, resulting in a reverse transformation into a teenager. If Shazam had a higher magical limit, then the results of their battles could be completely different. (The Black Mercy)
- an extraterrestrial plant that paralyzes the victim by wrapping around him, and makes him see strange dreams. Under the influence of the Black Mercy, Superman saw another reality in which he did not leave Krypton, since the planet had passed a tragic fate. Robin helped Superman get out of the control of this plant, and the next victim of the Black Mercy was Mongul.13
Avengers
There have been several crossovers that have merged the Marvel and DC universes. One of them tells about the battle between the Man of Steel and Thor. Superman emerged victorious from this battle. However, this victory did not come easily to him. After her, Superman was greatly weakened, and in the meantime, the Hulk, Iron Man, Wonder Man, Vision and Hercules came to avenge their comrade. The Marvel Company attacked Clark in a weakened state and beat him unconscious.
14
Doomsday
There is one character in the DC Universe who has only one goal - to destroy Superman. The root cause of this changes depending on the story arc and Doomsday's version, but nevertheless, the goal is always the same. Doomsday was born on Krypton and all he knows how to do is destroy. Doomsday destroyed everything and everyone until Superman appeared in his path. They clashed in an epic battle, and soon after the world mourned the death of the Man of Steel. However, after some time, he was revived after a deep sleep.
Doomsday is not the most interesting character, but there is one thing he excels at more than anyone else - killing Superman.
To the question Who is stronger, Superman or Flash? given by the author Castello The best answer is Flash. The impact force at the speed of light is infinity. Also, the Flash can run back in time, which means killing Clark when he is a baby. Superman also has a major weakness - kryptonite, which is not difficult to get with super speed.

They are both strong, but I like superman more))
Answer from Alexey Smolnikov[newbie]
Superman and Batman get along somehow. It's nothing at all compared to a flush. Superman has a weakness, as stated above. Everyone knows this very well. The Flash can beat everyone! Right everyone! He doesn't even have to kill, he just can imprison him in a fraction of a second. Fuck your super man. An ordinary person with brains can defeat him.
Answer from Zaporchik Hemorrhoids[newbie]
superman is stronger, superman is also very fast, he can travel through time like the flash. Superman also has great strength, laser vision, strong skin that can withstand the blows of the flash.
Answer from Unknown Alpha[newbie]
Small correction! The best answer is Wrong! Impact of infinite mass??? Joking or just don't read comics! Only Wally West had this ability, but before the flashpoint (reboot)! Superman can fly a long distance where the fucking flash won't do anything to him and shoot him with lasers from his eyes! Or with 1 blow, superman will slam Flash like a fly! And also freeze him with ice breath! What about flash???? Nothing....
Answer from Virus[newbie]
They are equal since there is a version that Superman can roll back time like the Flash, except that he does not make his phantoms (just returns the earth and everyone on it, including himself, to a certain time point). Superman has a cold breath, which showed us in the fight with the captain the cold affective against the flash. Superman can attack from the air.
The Flash does not have regeneration, if his leg is torn off or his cup is broken, it will not recover like Superman, but judging by the fact that Clark has more advantages in this, since he has more impact force than Flash.
The Flash has one main trump card in front of Superman is that he can do doubles with the help of time reversal and inflict thousands of blows per second on Clark.
That as for me wins the one who will have a moment of surprise. If the flush keeps Clark from getting airborne, he wins. Also, if Clark manages to freeze Barry, then he will win.
Answer from Natalia Nagaeva[newbie]
superman
Answer from Vlad[newbie]
The bottom line is that the Flash develops the speed of light. More precisely, a speed 13 trillion times the speed of light. This means that it can move not only to any point on Earth in a fraction of a second, but to any point in the Universe. But there is no earth in space, you say? It doesn't matter as a moving object it can go in any direction and end up at any point that has coordinates.
By gaining the speed of light, the object also gains infinite mass. This means that any hit of it will stronger than the blow Superman, Hulk, whatever. What's more, don't forget - this is the Flash, and he's running at fucking light speed. That is, the matter, of course, will not be limited to one blow. Millions of blows of infinite mass delivered in a fraction of a second.
Moreover, even if you are fast enough to respond to these blows somehow: you will not be able to. The flash can slow down every process in your body, every single electron: now you can't even retaliate.
But this is not the end: The Flash can warp time and move between dimensions (Crisis on Two Earths), so now we can say that the Flash can not only move to any point in all realities, but also to any period of time. It is so fast that it can be in every second of your life. And strike. Blows of infinite mass. Simultaneously. In all realities. In all time periods.
And that's it. This is the end. The Flash is infinite. There is no protection that could save you from this. The Flash's first strike and you are forever erased from existence. You won't be able to answer. You can't curse him in a dramatic death speech. You won't even be able to breathe. One yocto second and whoever you are, you're dead.
Answer from Twilight[active]
flash in his favorite way of reverse flash will kill superman, you know, and he will not have time to understand that he died
Answer from Yotyk Oleg[newbie]
Superman's speed is the same as that of the flash, as they wrote before, and he can walk in time, take at least the old film about Superman, when he turned time in the opposite direction, flying above the speed of light around the earth, Superman is definitely stronger, I'm more interested Is he stronger than supergirl
Answer from Alexey Kharlamov[newbie]
The Flash is stronger and faster than Superman.
Before trying to figure out who the most powerful superhero is, this concept should be defined. A superhero is a character who is generously endowed with outstanding abilities (superpower), which he uses solely for the sake of the common good. After the triumphant debut in 1938 of the prototype Superman, stories about these personalities became the basis for an endless number of comic books, and subsequently extended to cinema. Later, the declared character might not have superpowers to be called this honorary title.
Varieties of abilities and skills
It's no secret that photos of superheroes do not always reflect their unusual power. Some outstanding personalities do not even possess it, but reach the top in scientific and martial arts, the most striking example is the Question and Batman. Some are helped by a special weapon or suit - Green Lantern and Iron Man. Many use assistive devices - Spider-Man (web), Wonder Woman (bracelet), Wolverine (claws), Thor (hammer), Daredevil (club). So it is simply impossible to determine who is the most powerful superhero. The only common feature is that each character is persistent and willing to sacrifice his life without hesitation. Most of the heroes work independently, but there are also an infinite number of groups and superteams: the Justice League, the Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and others. A team of superheroes is an ideal find for a film, such films are simply a magnet for a wide audience.
From comics to movies
Most often, superheroes are comic book characters, and stories about their lives and adventures are fertile ground not only for American comics, but also for cinema. And if the picture is equipped with a decent budget, then success and a high rating at the box office are unambiguously guaranteed. Movies about superheroes are always expected and popular, some become cult and do not lose their reputation for many years, giving rise to an unthinkable number of sequels, prequels and various offshoots. The most famous among them are: “Superman. Judgment Day”, “Return of Superman”, “The Dark Knight. Return of the Legend”, “Batman”, “Green Lantern”, “Iron Man”, “Fantastic Four”, “Spider-Man”, “X-Men”, etc. Not inferior in demand and cartoons about superheroes, the most successful among which should be considered: "Batman", "Ben 10", "Iron Man", "Kim Five Plus", "Justice League", "Avengers", "Spider-Man", "Helboy" and others. We must also pay tribute to the bright cartoon "The Incredibles", which tells about a whole family of superhumans, and the whole storyline is an incendiary superhero action game that includes the traditional set: a battle with a supervillain and his minions, chases, explosions, double life and a global threat to the entire city . Movies about superheroes, although they are mostly positioned as science fiction and adventure, sometimes still manage to move into other genres. Individual films resemble crime films - The Punisher, Batman, horror films - Spectrum, Helboy, Spawn, and many gravitate towards science fiction - Fantastic Four, X-Men, Green flashlight".
Non-American superheroes
In fairness, it should be noted that when raising the question of who is the most powerful superhero, it is necessary to consider candidates not only of American origin. This title can be claimed by the Japanese analogue of Superman - Goku from the Dragon ball series - or the Filipino girl Darna, who can turn into a mature and dangerous female warrior. By the way, there is even a full-length motion picture released back in 1951.
The British characters are quite original - the Wizard and Zenith.
The French did not rack their brains and built their own images according to their American counterparts - Saltarella, Crabbe and Micros are quite standard, but the metamorph-alien Wumpus and Photonic attract with their uniqueness.
Even India has its own characters (a product of mythology): Super Commando Dhruva, Doga and Nagraj bring Hindu masses. By the way, Indian cinema also released a couple of films about the adventures of superhumans - Shiva and Krrish, Mister India.
These are international superheroes, the list of which is endless.
There are heroes in our Fatherland
Domestic characters are not similar to the American standard, this is evidenced by the films "Sword Bearer" (2006) by Philip Yankovsky and "Black Lightning" (2009) directed by Alexander Voitinsky and In the first picture main character Alexander has a unique opportunity - if necessary, he removes a sharp sword from his palm, and the motivation for his actions is determined by a sense of revenge.
The hero of the second film - Dima, having received an old Volga from his father, discovers its exceptional capabilities and fearlessly enters into battle with the villain in the sky of the New Year's capital.
And modern domestic cartoons? Superheroes in them are Russian heroes! "Alyosha Popovich and Tugarin the Serpent", "Dobrynya Nikitich and the Serpent Gorynych", "Ilya Muromets and the Nightingale the Robber" - they are all about the struggle between good and evil, and the main characters of each picture are endowed with power and heroic (inhuman) strength.
Top 10
If you try to list all the famous characters from memory, it will take quite a long time, and it is quite difficult to determine who is the most powerful superhero. Silver Surfer, Wolverine, Doctor Manhattan, Superman, Thor, Hulk, Spider-Man - everyone can be considered the strongest, depending on how you evaluate. However, the Top 10 below includes the strongest contenders.
Hulk
Hulk, aka Dr. Bruce Banner. Two personalities in one being. One distinguished scientist specializing in biology, engineering and gamma radiation. The other is a green monster that gets more angry the more powerful it gets. He has endless physical force. How to defeat the one who becomes stronger and more powerful from the blows of the enemy? In one story, he even held the entire structure of time and space in an attempt to stabilize the warps. The character is unsinkable, he is able to swim at any depth without being affected by pressure drop. It cannot be poisoned, infected with an infection. Super-fast regeneration makes the Hulk invulnerable, and impenetrable skin does not react to either physical or magical influences. He is fast, hardy, not subject to aging. Unlimited strength and intelligence make the green monster the perfect candidate for the most powerful superhero. The only weakness of a unique creature should be considered his second "I", because while he is Bruce, he can be killed. Although this statement after watching the movie "The Avengers" can also be questioned, because when Banner tried to commit suicide, his alter ego (Hulk) did not allow it.
Flash
Flipping through images-pictures of superheroes, you will most likely pay attention to this one, which is able to develop movement, thinking, acting with stunning speed, passing through walls - and that's not all. He is subject to the distortion of time and movement in all dimensions. Nothing is known about his weaknesses, in order to find out, a superhero must be caught, but this is impossible.
Nova
He is Richard Rider - the chief of the intergalactic police, who can fly at supersonic speeds, is invulnerable, has the ability to regenerate, shoots with clots of energy and has constant access to the xadarian mind. His weakness is predictability, because he acts exclusively within the framework of the law.
Thor
Itself. Absolutely invulnerable, incredibly hardy, immensely strong. He can fly, summon lightning, and in addition has one of the most powerful weapons - Thor's hammer. It is problematic to name his weakness, but after all, only a god equal to him can deal with a god.
Doctor Manhattan
One day, scientist Jonathan Osterman gets inside a working reactor and survives, but transforms into Doctor Manhattan - a hero who has the ability to fly, read the thoughts of others, and control any matter at the atomic level. Now he is immortal and invulnerable, he can be at all time points simultaneously. His ardor can be "cooled" with the help of tachyons.
Ghost rider
The right to claim the status of a superhero is given to this character by his demonic transformation, which provides superhuman abilities: colossal physical strength, super-endurance, invulnerability, fearlessness. Mystical energy bestows fast regeneration, and the ability to absorb other people's powers and chastisement are powerful weapons of the Ghost Rider.
Hourly
One of the most powerful characters, however, uses superpowers very carefully because of the darkness lurking in the depths of his soul. Its power is equivalent to the explosion of a million suns, it is able to lift more than 100 tons. Divine endurance and invulnerability are second to none. A superhero can resurrect himself. The high-speed flight of the Sentinel exceeds the speed of light, and sight and hearing go far beyond the limits of human imagination.
Superman
The icon of American culture - Superman - is invulnerable (his body is super-strong), capable of inflicting blows of inhuman power, moving giant objects, super-hardy. To this should be added regeneration, the ability to fly (both in the atmosphere of the Earth and in Space) and the ability to move at superspeed, has X-ray vision, and can pick up ultra- and infrasounds. The character has incredible mental abilities, plus everything he has hypnosis.
Spiderman
No superhero picture is complete without an image of Spider-Man. An ordinary student Peter Parker, after being bitten by a radioactive spider, receives a whole set of superpowers: tremendous physical strength, the ability to climb sheer walls, sixth sense, perfect sense of balance, incredible agility and speed. But the main skill is the throwing out of the palms of the web, which surpasses the natural (spider) in strength by millions of times.
Green Lantern
Each Guardian of the Galaxy has a ring of Power, and it gives its owner unlimited possibilities and abilities: invisibility, flying at supersonic speeds, moving around the Galaxy through portals, seeing with x-rays, diagnosing diseases, telepathy, hypnosis, changing physical condition. Also, the Green Lantern has the ability to heal wounds, the gift of invisibility and great physical strength.
A society without a superhero is a society without hope
That's what they are, superheroes... This list is far from complete. They have always been and will be necessary for human society for the reason that they set an example to follow. Most people are selfish, everyone tries to protect only themselves, sometimes even at the cost of the lives of others. In the image of a superhero, we see one who willingly sacrifices himself for the common salvation or good. That is why these characters are popular and in demand at all times, that is why they will make movies and cartoons, whose superheroes will surprise with their exploits, delight with their actions and set a worthy example to follow.
Most recently, the long-awaited premiere of the film called "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" took place in world cinemas. The plot tells us about a team of superheroes fighting evil in the face of the robot Ultron, who decided to take over the world.
Superheroes have been very popular lately. 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 this. Only they 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 changed radically. Now superheroes are the new fashion.
The popularity of superheroes
When did this turning point occur? When did superheroes become popular? Of course, it all started in 2008, when a film from Marvel called "Iron Man" was released on the movie screens. Good humor, great special effects and an excellent main character, played by the charismatic Robert Downey Jr., did their job. The film shot, and the audience asked for more. The company did not torment fans with anticipation, and already in 2010 a new film about the adventures of Tony Stark in his iron suit was released. And a year later, Marvel released two more films about superheroes: "Thor" and "Captain America" (in Russian dubbing, for patriotic reasons, the film was called "The First Avenger"). And the quintessence of all this was the 2012 film The Avengers. In it, the superheroes known to us were forced to team up in order to resist the villain Loki, who intended to capture the planet and at the same time send his brother Thor into oblivion.
Now it is very difficult to find a person who has not watched at least one like "Iron Man" and "The Avengers" popularized superheroes in our country. What's interesting is that no matter how hard the guys at Marvel try, they won't be able to fit more than 60 years of comic book history into a three-hour movie. And therefore, after watching, the audience is left with a lot of 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 Hulk?
For more than 60 years of the existence of the Universe and the Hulk, they have crossed paths more than once (a full-length cartoon was even dedicated to this, 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 this is well justified. After all, if we take as a constant the classic "the angrier the Hulk, the stronger he 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 blow? No matter how. The Hulk has almost instantaneous 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 internal organs, limbs, epidermis, travel in outer space and much more. The regeneration of the Hulk also obeys the rule "The more evil ..." That is, the speed of the Hulk's regeneration directly depends on his level of anger. In addition to the two main abilities, he has a host of other, less significant ones (immunity to viruses, absorption of gamma radiation, adaptation to the environment, superhuman speed, jumping, and much more).
What can Thor oppose? First of all, it is 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 not the main trump card of Thor. All the power of the Thunderer lies in his weapon - the hammer Mjolnir. Using it, Thor gets a whole bunch of superpowers (the ability to control thunder, flight, teleportation, invisibility, intangibility, and much more). What happens if you take away Thor's weapon? Obviously, he will lose most of his abilities and, most likely, will lose the fight. But taking the hammer from the god of thunder is unlikely to come out even from the Hulk. Mjolnir has a special enchantment that allows you to pick up weapons, regardless of level physical strength, only the worthy will be able to (these include Captain America, and in the new film there is an entertaining reference to this). And this means that the Hulk will not be able to either lift Mjolnir from the ground or snatch it from Thor's hands.
So after all, who is stronger - Thor or the Hulk? Who will win the fight? It is rather difficult to answer this question. Both heroes are practically immortal and have incredible strength and endurance. Therefore, we can conclude that the battle between these characters can last forever, but it is unlikely that anyone will be able to defeat their opponent. In the comics, 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 vs Thor". The cartoon is pretty funny. Hulk beats Thor throughout the cartoon. The green giant (under the control of Loki) almost defeated Thor, but the thunderer used his hammer to inflict a mighty blow on the green monster. As a result of this attack, the connection with Loki was severed, and the Hulk regained control of his body.
Who is stronger - Hulk or Superman?
Since we are talking about omnipotent beings, we simply cannot ignore Superman. Superman is a popular DC Comics character. 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 would envy. Super vision, regeneration, super speed, invulnerability, super hearing, laser beams from the eyes, ice breath, super strength - this is only a small part of all the super powers of this hero. But can Kal El, with all that "gentleman's" gear, take down the Hulk? 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 takes place outside our solar system, then Kal El will not have the slightest chance of winning.
But let's say the battle between the heroes will take place on Earth. Will the Hulk be able to defeat the alien then? 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 El himself (thus, in the comics, the villain Doomsday killed Superman). Although the green monster is not famous for its magical skills, it has more than enough strength. And this means that, having gained enough rage and received the appropriate level of power, the Hulk will be able to defeat Superman.
Battle of Superman and Hulk
Now you can find a rather interesting video in which two superhero titans - Hulk and Superman - are fighting each other. The video is short (it lasts about 2 minutes), but modern computer graphics were used in its creation, 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 guys at Marvel tried to answer that question in Avengers: Age of Ultron. The green monster's fight with the Hulkbuster (Tony Stark's huge Hulk-fighting suit) is one of the best scenes in the movie. 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 those viewers, then you should read this article.
As you might know from the movie, Iron Man doesn't 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. After gaining enough rage, the Hulk will break Stark's armor like a toy. This means that Iron Man has no chance in the battle with the green giant.
Superheroes entered our lives first through comics, and then, many of them appeared on TV screens, already embodied in superhero movies. But many fans of fantastic adventures and confrontations have been tormented by one question for decades - which of the superheroes is stronger?
And with the advent of new characters on the board of superheroes and superpowers, this issue is becoming more and more acute. We offer a rating of superheroes of ALL times. Perhaps there are those who have already been forgotten or did not even know.
