Is he?

#2 Posted by Korg (11931 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

He is significantly stronger, actually. It took Hulk and Thor's combined efforts to defeat him.

#3 Edited by Omg chris (1607 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

yea he is right he is stronger

#4 Posted by Push (1552 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

I'd say he's just a walking P.I.S. character who'm Loeb's having fun with to curb his dimentia ;-)

#5 Posted by MercenaryX (249 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

Yeah.

Physically Rulk is stronger than Hulk but he has much weakpoints so he goes down .

#7 Posted by Alpha (7310 posts) - 3 years, 11 months ago - Show Bio

He's not. It's just seems that way cause how his powers work. He could never reach the limits of WWHulk.

this is the same as Herc....

herc is stronger than hulk ALL THE TIME save for when hulk goes to his extremes. in general Herc is far stronger than Hulk.
Same for Rulk hes stronger than by not just a little by a TON once again save for Hulks extreme baby tanturms! LOL

Rulk took on and made quick work of THOR and HULK I am not will to say Rulk beat THOR but I will say he dealt with him quickly same for hulk.
Rulk also took on all those female powerhouses and gave em HELL.

Rulk is a force

not sure about this one I just know that Hulk has appeared stronger in the last couple of Hulk comics over the year.

to me i say their evenly match the only reason rulk won most of them was cause he still had his intellict but he so what stronger but the difference between him and hulk is the rulk get hotter when he get more angry and he able to keep his intellict unlike hulk who begins to talk like a 4 yr old

Think of Rulk as a beefed up Doc Samson. Now before you all jump at me on that, let me share my logic.

Doc Samson is as strong as a calm Hulk. Rulk is clearly a lot stronger. But as it says in the comic, he gets hotter as he gets angrier. as oppose to Hulk who gets stronger as he gets angrier which means Rulk can never truly reach the levels of strength Hulk is capable of. The Hulk has never been stronger before or after the moment just before Stark hits him with the satelite during WWH. Theres no doubt in my mind that Rulk would get pwned by Hulk just after he finds out what Miek did during WWH. He stomped the ground in Manhattan and helicopters hundreds of miles away almost fell out of the sky.

Red Hulk gets weaker if he overheats. The angrier he gets the more his body temperature rises and he eventually gets weak from all the heat.

Hulk. if hulk was in his green scar mentality he would have stomped rulk.

Red hulk is stronger than the savage hulk at base level but not as strong as WW hulk by a longshot.

#15 Posted by Necrotic_Lycanthrope (2372 posts) - 10 months, 25 days ago - Show Bio

Base strength he's stronger. If Hulk in a "calm" state can lift 100-200 tons, the Rulk can lift 200-500 tons. However, Green Hulk gains strength over time while Red Hulk keeps his strength the same.

@superhulksmash: What issue is that from?

@IncredibleMSJ: Hulk 24#

Red Hulk and Hulk haven't gone at it in a long time tho. I think if they had a rematch Hulk might not need Thor's help anymore, considering Red Hulk doesn't absorb energy anymore.

@Teerack:

They'll never match up, unless Hulk gets possessed again. Ross is done with hunting or even smacking the Hulk around after the events of World War Hulks/Fall of the hulks.

@Necrotic_Lycanthrope: Please, heroes get into fights all the time for no reason.

@Teerack:

Knowing Big Green and Red, a simple yo mama joke would send them into a barroom brawl.

I'd say they are about as strong as each other now. I mean the avengers went crying to hulk to help then but why would they do that if they had red hulk wich they did. This kind of thing depends on the writer the reason why rulk was so strong to begin with was not only the ability to absorb energetic but because he had a lot of military training and experience.

#23 Posted by Oscars94 (618 posts) - 4 months, 22 days ago - Show Bio

Hulk's stronger Rulk's smarter. It's fair.

#24 Posted by TheAcidSkull (6785 posts) - 4 months, 22 days ago - Show Bio

No.

#25 Posted by Jonny_Anonymous (15723 posts) - 4 months, 22 days ago - Show Bio

Yeah and then during the battles, Red Hulk was defeated by Juggernaut Colossus (not possessed by Pheonix Force) and Hulk was able to use Emma Frost as a rag doll (possessed by Pheonix Force and only split between her and Cyclops.) near the end of Avengers vs X-Men.

I would chalk that up to inconsistent writing but I also feel as though General Ross trades some strength for intelligence as Red Hulk seeing as how he can talk in first person, and in complete, coherent sentences. Whereas Hulk still talks like Tarzan. Hopefully that will change though...

This ^

Which is kind of silly considering how Bruce Banner is one of the smartest men on the planet and General Ross is nowhere near that level of intelligence. Banner has really just accepted The Hulk though as seen in the Indestructible Hulk #1 and #2.

Red Hulk was stronger but that was under Loeb and under him he punched Uatu.Right now Hulk is stonger than Rulk.

#28 Edited by CosmicCommonSense (20 posts) - 1 month, 23 days ago - Show Bio

red hulk is stronger than hulk when banner reverts to hulk but red hulk does not have the strength enhancing abilities that hulk does so in the long run red hulk is no match for hulk

#29 Posted by TheAcidSkull (6785 posts) - 1 month, 22 days ago - Show Bio

the Only reason Rulk seemed stronger was because of lobes bad writing

Rulk is NOT stronger than hulk
