Hulk is the strongest one there is. Sentry has the power of a million exploding suns (also, he is a worthwhile character).

How does he become the Hulk if he's calm?

Deadpool's only superhuman attribute is his healing factor.People believe he has superhuman strength and speed.

Ditto. Cable & Deadpool #13 describe him as having superhuman strength and agility, off the top of my head. Hulk has been calm in many different states, from Joe Fixit, to Professor Hulk, to Hulk on Sakaar.

He can also teleport.  I mean he did it all the time in his old series and bodyslid in Cable and Deadpool.  He has currently stolen a teleporter in the Magnum Opus crossover as well.

Yes he can teleport because of a device...he doesn't have teleportation powers.You don't have to tell me about the teleporter.

What I meant by "there is no such thing as calm Hulk" is Savage Hulk..the regular Hulk is never calm because then he would be Hulk.Hulk on Skaar was The Green Scar..the same doesn't apply to him...he is also the only Hulk I know of that can go from Hulk to Banner at will.

Vance, it's right there. SUPERHUMAN strength. His agility rivals Spider-Man. I know DP isn't your favorite character, but this thread is about misconceptions, and you're creating them rather than exposing them.

Did you read the comic?  He says that it would take someone superhuman to kill a man like that....which Deadpool did.

Deadpool gets up their and says it'd be something easy for someone like Conan, Spider-Man...or Deadpool.

He's clearly superhuman.

I know what it says I read it and I saw it.What I am saying is..how is what he's doing or what he did considered superhuman when people who aren't considered superhuman have greater strength and agility feats?

His agility rivals Spider-Man's? Since when?

What I am saying has nothing to do with me not liking Deadpool.I made the same case against Wolverine and Captain America being superhuman and I like both characters.

He's not clearly superhuman...his feats are still below people who aren't classified Superhuman.

How many non-superhumans can jump 45 feet in two leaps? It's deliberately stated by the author that Deadpool has superhuman strength. Anyone non-superhuman doing these things is being poorly written.


Also: Wolverine has several superhuman characteristics. It seems you may be the one that has misconceptions about these things

I don't think Wolverine's strength or speed is superhuman...

Maybe it is me who has misconceptions about these things...educate me.

That doesn't mean Wolverine isn't superhuman. He is. He has a healing factor, superhuman senses, and claws. The healing factor gives both Wolverine and Deadpool superhuman stamina as well. As for educating you - I'm trying, but you're not making it easy by shrugging off scans that explicitly state what multiple people are trying to tell you. Work with me here.

His speed and strength are naturally augmented by his healing factor. He doesn't produce lactic acid and other fatigue toxins, so he can continue to accelerate when most people would need to slow down. He only has super strength in the sense that he can push his muscles past the point of normal human endurance, allowing him to lift more. He is superhuman in these regards, but not to the point where he is any kind of speedster, or even approaches class 5 on the strength scale. Still, they are by-products of his healing factor that make him more than human.
