Okay, so which is worse?

Before I start, let me remind you all that this is not a 'who's stronger' contest, because I don't care.

Now, I always ask my friends silly comic related questions, and I thought I'd share one of my favorite ones. Which situation would you rater NOT be in if you KNEW these two would actually follow through with these actions?

This?

Let's assume you knew he was going to fry you, and he was going to do it.

Or this?

Hulk smash because you not leave Hulk alone!!

Personally, I think being fried is a much worse way to go than having your skull bash........ed wait a second. Ouch. These are two pretty bad ways to go out. I can't decide, but I want your opinions on which you think is a worse way to be finished off.

Well tbh if Supes really, really wants to fry me it'll be relatively painless considering those eyeblasts can destroy a huge amount quite easily. whereas Hulk.....that would be a painful way to go.

Thus i'd prefer to get insta-fried by Superman.

@Jorgevy: For the sake of this conversation, let's say you were a Marksman who got his gun stripped away by these two and were about to meet your end. Which is a worse way to go out?

I would rather not be about to be heat-beamed by Superman. It is going to hurt a bunch until he burns through your nerve endings.

I could dodge Hulks ground-pound attack and the resulting shock-wave would likely render me unconscious and then I would not even feel the end coming.

@AweSam: Superman under the usual mind control, and you made Hulk REALLY angry. My question essentially is which would be a worse way to go, not who is easier to escape from, and how you would do it.

Let's assume Hulk is about to drop his fists on you in a thunderous rage, or Superman was going to cook you in all his fury, and there was no way out.

But if you WERE to reason, I'd say Hulk is easier to reason with. Just be funny, and there you go.

Its not going to hurt at all, you'll be dead before you can notice it. You wouldn't be able to dodge the Hulk, he's not slow at all.

I am indeed Olympic level but that is irrelevant; unskilled people with average or slighly above average physical abilities have dodged Hulks blows. Rick Jones dodged them all the time. It will hurt being heat-beamed if only for a moment and the disintegration depends on if he uses it wide-beamed or narrow. If narrow then it will only lance through.

If he's determined to fry you, he's going to be using as much as he can.

And then he thunderclaps you, you're stunned and beats you to death while you're helpless? Even if you were unconscious, it would be worse.

Whether or not he is using as much as he can it will hurt, if even for a moment. And if he used as much as he can he would destroy millions of people. He is smart enough to know that he would not need to go all out to kill one human. He is actually quite intelligent.

Either way I could still dodge his initial blow. And a thunderclap will most likely render me unconscious. And, no, being killed by one blow while unconscious would not be worse than being heat-beamed to death.

No it wouldn't. You'd be disintegrated in less than a second, and his intelligence and morality is irrelevant for this scenario.

Yes it would. The nerve impulses would reach my brain in much less than a second. You erroneously stated that he would go all out. I gave you reasons why he would not. Intelligence.

The Hulk thing, Superman is probably way more likely to do it quick and painless. A quick zap to the brain pan is preferable to getting beaten to paste

There is no disproving it. Yes, you would feel pain for an instant which means your brain already processed the signals from the nerve endings. You disputed my claim that one would feel it. I showed you that they would. So maybe you should ask yourself whether it would matter?

Superman has far more mercy than Hulk. Hulk depending on his mood might go out of his way to make sure he hurts you whereas Superman would take no pleasure in what he does. So I choose quick and painless

Depends. Do I have a chance of getting away?

If I can get away, then fighting Hulk would be preferable, because I find it more likely that I could escape Hulk rather than... a guy who moves faster than light.

If I can't escape, then I'd rather Superman just send a laser through my skull. Much cleaner and faster than getting beaten to death.

Superman powers wouldn't take that long to kill me. The red in his eyes is going to frighten me but Im going to expect that he is about to fry me. So I am running and getting the hell out of there. But Superman has self-control (to an extent) so he can get me done with in no time. He doesn't need to go on a rampage and cause havoc everywhere like Hulk does. I mean if he is going to fry me, before I have time to react, my skin will already be gone and everything else will soon be disintegrated. That would still hurt! Those couple of seconds would bring so much pain. Im not saying my death by him would be lovely, it would hurt so bad but before I realize that Im about to be blown to bits. I wouldnt be all that frightened. He is Superman, so he knows how to get the job done quickly and carefully. With the right accuracy, Im a goner. I'd say that death would last about 7 seconds... well if he was really trying to get me done with then yeah, 4-7 seconds and Im done for.

Hulk, I think, will put much more fear into me. I'll already shit my pants and be scared for my life. Superman is a handsome man and not so intimidating as Hulk... even though Superman is pretty intimidating. So with Hulk, he makes me feel like a bug and my heart is racing. His screams would terrorize everyone and just make me feel even more at danger. He is the true definition of a monster. Then as he is going on his rampage and flipping shit, I am now even more scared. The fact that Hulk has a much scarier look than Superman, its already put a lot of fear into me. Then he charges at me, I try to run, then BAM! my face is as flat as a pancake, my body is severely out of place, and Hulk is using some of my crushed bones as a toothpick. In that time Im much more frightened than Superman. Hulk enjoys to SMASH! If there is a lot of objects in the area that he wants to kill me at, he is going to want to smash it all. A car SMASH, a house SMASH, a hotdog stand SMASH, and so on. Hulk has already caused so much destruction and has already made my heart race. Since many people do make it out of Hulk's rampage, I’d have some faith that I would as well. He just can’t control himself at all. He normally doesn't focus on killing a bunch of people but since I am the one that has made him mad, I’d expect a more chance that I would die than live. That is unlike Superman because he knows he wants to fry me and can get it done in no time.

So Im going to go with hulk in this situation.

#40 Posted by Enosisik (1153 posts) - 11 months, 22 days ago - Show Bio

You wouldn't feel either one because I'm sure one hit from Hulk would mean instant death and Superman as said would turn you to ash instantly as well. I guess I'd take Superman just so that no one has to scrape me off of the floor.

In a world where Superheros were a real thing, I PROMISE you I would own a piece of Kryptonite if I had to mortgage my house. So I'll take the Superman scenario and possibly live through it. HULK has no Kryptonite. HULK just smash. SMASH. SMASH. sleep.
