When Bob Greenwade, commenter extraordinaire and Patron of this blog, mentioned that I had not had a Hulk/Doomsday math up on this blog, I thought, "That can't be right, can it?" Indeed is was, so here's a cover to rectify that oversight. Thanks for the heads-up, Bob!
Yes! A match made in STF Heaven!
ReplyDeleteBig question is... who's gonna win?
Hmm. Interesting question. After much (2 seconds) thought, my considered professional opinion (Professor DaveJonz, PhD in the Bleeding Obvious in Silver Age Studies, University of Kandor) the obvious answer is Hulkie! He'll take him out, no trouble at all.
Further, given how hard it is for Supes to take out Doomsday, this implies that Hulkie must be the strongest in the entire STF multiverse!
QED
Amen
DeleteNot to discredit a prof from Kandor, but....Doomsy adapts. Gets killed? Yeah. Regenerates. Appears so. Hulk regenerates too. The two keep fighting till the end of time? Maybe. If Doomsday were Hulkinized, it wouldn't do anything to help Doomsday.
ReplyDeleteYellow sun power source vs nuclear power? Bet on the sun.
Hmm. Doomsday vs Super Adaptoid?
Yes! Thank you, Mr. Greenwade. I, too, have been wanting to see these two duke it out, here, for a long time. :-D
ReplyDeleteHuzzah!
ReplyDeleteI think this fight can only end by separating the pair; otherwise, as Tobor mentions, they likely would just keep fighting until the end of time. The obvious ending in-universe would be for Doomsday to throw Hulk into orbit, but Hulk, like most heroes and anti-heroes, has Plot Armor against that sort of thing (though his mainly works when there are no other heroes around, which is the case here), so somehow Hulk would find a way to overcome Doomsday. My writer's instinct would be to have Doomsday start to overwhelm him until he becomes frightened, triggering a switch to Joe Fixit, who (thanks to being a better strategist than either Hulk or Banner) figures out a way to trick Doomsday into a trap, possibly sending him to another dimension (such as the Phantom Zone or the Negative Zone).
I am surprised by two different things, how long the project has gone on from its original Batman and ( Brave and the Bold) to two characters from different companies. The only way characters from the same company can team up is of they are a part of the same team like Justice League or Robin and Batgirl or Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. I would love to see characters of the same companies to team up. For example classic JL allies Captain Comet and Adam Strange take on the threat of Despero.
ReplyDeleteOr, failing that, Adam Strange and Johnny Storm.
ReplyDeleteOh this would be a great issue. And I have no idea who would win the fight. I figure it ends in a draw, or the winner is the first to regererate from being temporarily killed.
ReplyDelete@Bob Greenwade: "Plot armour" such as--maybe--Zatanna changing Hulk's natural green glow to kryptonite?
ReplyDeleteOr Access merging the Hulk with Lobo of Czarnia?
ReplyDeleteBecause everybody knows even Mr. Fixit can't whup The Main Man!
ReplyDelete@Anon@8:09: Zatanna being around at all would violate the "no other heroes around" clause, and in any case is more of an offensive tactic (though a pretty cool one, really; Hulk and Zatanna versus General Zod would be an interesting cover). In this case, Hulk's Plot Armor is that it just doesn't occur to Doomsday to toss him into orbit.
ReplyDelete@Cary: Lobo-Hulk would be an interesting situation for Iron Beetle to deal with!
Reminds me of the whole Death Battle fight between the two. It didn't look good for Hulk then...
ReplyDeleteThen again, that was before the Hulk had more lore heaped on that made essentially Heroic Doomsday, and they still made him lose to Broly.
@Anon1250: they made the Hulk lose to a parasol?!
ReplyDeleteDuring "Death of Superman" mania, Peter David did a thing in Hulk where a Doomsday-like fist (similar to the build-up to "Death of Superman") punches through a cage and the Hulk knocks it out in one punch. And then yells at the someone from the Pantheon about what would have happened if Hulk hadn't been there...
ReplyDeleteI remember that, and Hulk Smash DD all day
