"A Cosmic Force of Nature."

"More stronger and more powerful than any mortal-- and most immortals -- who have ever walked the face of the earth."

These statements alone from Greg Pak are all I need to confirm just how powerful WBH truly is.

I despise it. I loathe it. I hate it. It needs to be eliminated.

I say superhuman. Fighting apes, rhinos, elephants, lions, crocodiles, sharks and even dinosaurs with his bare hands (even overpowering them in some instances) is more than a normal human being at their peak could accomplish.

Greetings!

I've always been a fan of Conan the Barbarian and other mystic/mythological characters and stories. However, I must admit that I am uncertain as to where to begin reading. If anyone can provide a complete list of series (whether they be TPB, HC, Collections, etc.), I would greatly appreciate the gesture.

Hulks.

Skaar, Red Hulk and Green Scar alone would be enough.

@atheistknowledge:

I do hope this is a sign that the Maestro will achieve, or be set on the path of, becoming the all-powerful multiversal conqueror/destroyer that he is in the Contest of Champions game. It's high-time that he is placed among the elite villains, both in power & intellect. And if this is where it begins, I can actually admit that I'm optimistic about this particular issue.

On a different note, I can't help but wonder... with Amadeus Cho's Hulk being let loose on the Marvel Universe, can we expect anything to result from this?

Will the Squadron Supreme view him as a potential threat and thus engage him in battle?

Amora the Enchantress has been revealed on the cover of TAH #5, so I can't help but wonder: Will Amadeus' Hulk will be involved in the War of Realms that is going on in the Mighty Thor series?

That's probably the biggest question of all (besides the fate of Banner/Hulk): What will the heroes & villains of the Marvel Universe think of Amadeus and his Hulk form? And will their be consequences of wielding such formidable might/power that Amadeus possesses (especially if he truly cuts loose like Banner/hulk have done in the past)?

Here's an interesting topic of discussion.

Should the Hulk/Banner have a villain that is similar or in the same vein as Loki? Perhaps an incarnation of the Loki that is the Hulk (as seen in the picture below, which I assume some of you have seen)? Imagine all the cunning and mystical prowess of Loki and the might of a Hulk.

Thoughts?

Spider-Man, Iron Fist, Thing, Wolverine, Colossus, Iron Man, Korg, Hercules, Namor and whoever else you can think of wouldn't make a difference.

Even when holding back, Hulk nearly beat Herc to death within 3 blows. And considering that Herc is physically on par with Thor, that's a statement in and of itself. Herc himself even admits it on panels that if Hulk wanted to, he would've crushed his skull as easily as the Hulk already crushed his pride.

Considering that the likes of Thor, Silver Surfer, the Eternals and the FF went up against beings of this power and weren't reduced to ash in two panels, I highly doubt that the Hulk would suffer a similar fate. Don't get me wrong. I'm not expecting Hulk to defeat Galactus, the Celestials, Tyrant, Ego the Living Planet, Aegis and Tenebrous or those of similar high-end power.

Nevertheless, fighting against and surviving conflicts against the most powerful beings in the cosmos is a testament in and of itself. Some threats have to be too powerful for our hero, thus forcing him to resort to other means to somehow come out on top. It makes for a very interesting story.

@atheistknowledge:

I wasn't talking about Amadeus Cho.

I'm referring to when Bruce Banner/The Hulk returns, and these foes/threats are those I'd like to see him/them face. And before you give me the whole "they're too powerful for any single being to defeat" speech (not that you will, but just in case), you do realize that some threats have to be extremely complex and powerful in order to challenge the hero, to make them think of other ways besides force to deal with them. It also adds more potential to the story itself. Heck, we've seen the likes of the Fantastic Four, Thor, the Eternals, the X-Men, etc. come into conflict with beings like the Celestials and Galactus, who are far beyond them in power/might, yet it hasn't stopped them from trying to battle against such forces nor has it hindered these stories from being engaging/interesting.

That's what makes Hulk/Banner so unique. He's got power & intellect. Imagine what Hulk/Banner could do if they would not limit themselves and hold back, imagine what they could accomplish if they were to set aside their struggle for control.

Speaking of which, I have a question for you and all of those who are not keen on the current Totally Awesome Hulk series.

What if this whole Totally Awesome Hulk series involving Amadeus Cho is just a fun prelude to something truly incredible? What if it's just a little something until Banner/Hulk do return and then they'll have some equally epic stories that will be written by Greg Pak himself? Would that make this Amadeus Cho as a Hulk scenario storyline worth it?

I think so.
