Most Powerful Hulk Powers Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Nerd, Iím Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
Nowadays, everyone with a pulse knows about the Hulk; he was always a popular comic book
character and has only gained popularity with the new Marvel movies coming out.
A lot of people just think of him as the big, dumb green guy whoís really strong, but thatís
not the case.
He actually has a lot of really cool powers!
So letís roll, here are the Top 10 Most Powerful Hulk Powers!
Number 10: Transformation.
This one is pretty straightforward, but super important considering Bruce Banner wouldnít
have any of these other abilities without his ability to transform.
The transformation has presented in a number of ways over the years.
At first he changed to The Hulk at night, only later becoming the way we know it today,
where he changes when he secretes adrenaline.
As the years went on, he gained more and more power over this ability, able to transform
more or less at will.
Number 9: Ability to perceive spectral forms.
As the brawny and rather brainless brawler, youíd expect The Hulk to be pretty powerless
against ghosts or astral projections.
But guess what!
Thereís an app for that.
I mean, thereís a power for that.
Hulk has shown the ability to see all sorts of beings that would normally be invisible,
fighting against ghosts in some of his comics and viewing and even holding Doctor Strange
when in his Astral form.
PrettyÖ incredible.
Heh heh.
Heh.
Number 8: Resistance to Mind Control.
Youíd think that a being that is pretty much all brawn with very little brains, would be
super easy to control mentally.
But thatís not the case.
The Hulk has proven to be highly resistant to mind-control, able to shake off many of
the most powerful telepaths around, even besting Professor X as World War Hulk.
Iím not sure where this resistance comes from.
It could be that itís another aspect of his transformation, or it could be because he
has so many personalities battling it out in his head that there just isnít any more
room.
Either way, itís clear that The Hulk is highly resistant against mind-control.
Number 7: Adaptive survivability.
Okay thatís an awkward title but I couldnít figure out how to word this.
Basically, the Hulk is able to adapt to his surroundings, allowing him to live in a wide
range of environments.
No food?
No problem.
No water?
Easy peasy.
In space?
Pfft breathing is for the puny.
Hulk doesnít care.
Hulk will survive.
Because if he dies, who would be around to get green and big and strong?
Well, Amadeus Cho I guess.
But shut up, it was a rhetorical question.
Number 6: Punching through Dimensions.
The Hulk has shown the ability to straight up punch through dimensions.
This is not only useful on the offensive, when punching bad dudes right out of this
reality, but it also makes it so that The Hulk canít be trapped in another dimension.
And given the already limited options when dealing with the Hulk, this is just one more
way for him to say ìscrew you, you canít stop me.î This isnít even exclusive to dimensions,
Hulk can punch through time itself, punching through a time storm allowing Kang to travel
through it in Incredible hulk #135.
Number 5: Thunderclap.
The Hulk has a pretty sweet ability to smack his hands together and create a powerful concussive
force that sounds like a clap of thunder.
Heís used this in a variety of ways, deafening enemies, putting out fires, or sending enemies
flying.
It isnít used quite as often as, ya know just punching them, but itís a pretty sweet
power, and always really cool to see in the films.
It isnít the most inspired ability, but really there are only so many things you can do with
super strength, especially in the early days of Hulk.
And his Thunderclap has become pretty damn iconic.
Number 4: Superhuman Speed.
A lot of these powers are super reliant on his super strength, and his speed is no exception.
Since Hulkís legs are super strong, heís able to run incredibly quickly, using enormous
leaps to cover vast distances in the blink of an eye.
Marvel hasnít really given definitive speeds for The Hulk, but many speculate that he could
reach speeds of up to 800 miles an hour, with more conservative estimates listing anywhere
from 50 to 100 miles an hour.
Itís tough to put a number to his speed, but one thingís for sure: heís a lot faster
than the average bear.
Number 3: Durability.
With great strength, comes great durability.
Okay thatís not quite the expression, but Iíll be damned if it isnít relevant to the
Hulk!
Hulkís strength and size, as well as the gamma radiation, give him some incredibly
durability, able to withstand the most powerful of hits with hardly a scratch.
This is one of his most often used abilities, simply because his durability is what allows
him to actually use his strength, increase his anger, and thus increase his strength.
Plus it helps keep him alive, of course.
You know what else keeps him alive?
My next point!
Boom, nailed that transition.
Number 2: Accelerated Regeneration.
Hulk has an incredible healing factor, which allows him to regenerate from pretty much
any injury.
When combined with his insane durability, it makes him pretty freaking difficult to
beat.
Even if you manage to harm him in some way, shoop oh look heís all better and even angrier
and therefore stronger and why are you still talking you gotta run!
Run!
Fly you fool!
As we saw in Old Man Logan, it appears that as Banner ages, his healing factor weakens,
allowing him to be killed by Wolverine, but in his prime this regeneration is tough to
beat.
Number 1: Superhuman Strength.
I meanÖ Doi!
If you didnít know about this I donít even know how you managed to click the video in
the first place.
But there may be some details you didnít know about.
While his baseline ability to lift roughly 100 tons is pretty damn impressive, itís
nothing compared to how much he can lift when heís really angry.
As he becomes angrier, his strength increases more and more.
This means that his strength is really only limited by his capacity for rage; and Bruce
Banner is really good at getting angry.
Again, this is hardly surprising given the fact that his other abilities all depend on
him being strong, and itís kind of the thing heís known for, but hey there ya go.
Heís strong.
Thatís it for today!
