Hulk vs. Doomsday

Tags: , , ,

Ground rules: Doomsday has been depowered as of late due too cloning/personality formation/bad writing. For the purposes of this fight I’m using Doomsday’s first appearance, which happens to be when he killed Superman. Bruce Banner begins the fight pre-pissed off and in hulk form. The battle field is earth…these two need wide-open spaces.

Personal bias: The Reign of the Superman storyline which takes place immediately after Superman’s death is what got me into comics. I, of course, went back to read how Superman died and thought a monster like Doomsday was a much better way to kill him than Luthor getting lucky with a Kryptonite bullet…or something. Doomsday only got scarier in the Hunter/Prey storyline that followed. For those stories alone, I prefer Doomsday to Hulk.

Fight! Both combatants show immediate aggression towards each other, but in the contest of rage, Doomsday has already won. The monster sprints towards Hulk going from 0 to 500 mph in a matter of yards sends him flying with a double fisted uppercut. The Hulk saved his face from the blow but is now defenseless as he plummets back to earth. Doomsday takes advantage, leaping into the air and drop kicking Hulk, hastening his decent. Hulk explodes into the earth’s crust, cracking the landscape in half.
In a blur of green, Hulk retaliates, surprising Doomsday from the mushroom cloud of dust and dirt. Powered by his anger, Hulk smashes both palms on either side of Doomsday’s head. Shards of bone chip away as Doomsday shakes off the concussion and grabs his adversary. They wrestle to the ground, simulating an earthquake. Hulk presses off the ground with all his might and once again takes them both upward. They soar for miles until they crash into a nearby mountain range. The impact causing an avalanche that buries them both.

Next it appears like the mountain itself detaches from the surface. Boulders are chucked eastward, then westward returning fire until the mountain is level. Doomsday charges at Mach 5 speeds only to have his fury redirected into a space with pivotal swing courtesy of the Hulk. Weakened from the battle, the re-entry and impact is too much for Doomsday.

Results: Hulk wins…but let me explain what can’t be illustrated. Superman and Doomsday fought to a draw Both died temporarily as a result. However, Superman started off pulling punches and worrying about collateral damage, allowing Doomsday to beat him down considerably before Superman realized that he had to be as brutal as Doomsday to win. The Hulk wouldn’t go through this process and get right to the smashing.

Another footnote to this battle would be that if these two were to ever fight again. Doomsday would win…at least as he was originally written. Doomsday returns from every “death” stronger and unable to lose in the same fashion as he did before. That said, the ref’s decision stands. Hulk wins. Unless you have something to say about it.

    The only slight problem I have with this scenario, was the statement, "but in the contest of rage, Doomsday has already won"...Hulk is pretty much a being of pure Rage. Other than that, I agree with the result!

    LOL i guess you havent heard of world war hulk... superman,doomsday try all of marv el could not stop him ,lol how could doomsday.
  • Karim
    The Hulk strength is unstoppable. The Hulk can fight a 1.5 weeks at his peek before he starts getting tired. Hulk wins.
  • Cbbailey361973
    um no, hulk doesnt get tired read world war hulk he held his strenth for over a year.
  • Murpster
    hulk losses cause if doomsday puts him down he will just pumble him constantly till death
  • ksaints
    Doomsday wins, hands down.
    1.Hulk is to slow and is not as fast as Doomsday. He is lightning fast.
    2.Doomsday doesnt need to eat or breath.
    3.Fight experience.Hulk does not have the fighting ability like Doomsday. DD has to much fighting experience. He has been killed thousands of times by Krypton's and the universe's mightest creatures,only to regenerate back to life stronger. This has been going on for thousands of years throughout the universe vs Hulk's/Banner's time of existence.
    4.Hulk has rage but he has emotions. DD has no emotions. Just infinite blind rage and destruction until no end.
    5. Stamina. DD never gets tired like Hulk.
    6. Even if DD dies, he'll only regenerate and find Hulk to kill him, Hulk would scramble to find a new way to beat DD because you cant beat him again the same way and by them Hulk would be killed
    Doomsday wins people, accept it.

    read WORLD WAR HULK noobie hulk is godly dooms is not.
  • Jason
    There is not, as some have attempted to specify, any sort of upper limit to the Hulks strength. The argument that Doomsday would come back "Unable to die from the same thing that killed him" is a fallacy, because he still has not explored Hulks upper strength. In short, Hulk is immortal, and Doomsday has been shown to be able to die. As long as Hulk can gain strength proportionate to anger, which only grows as the battle wages, and every battle gets thicker and thicker. An eternal fight, with Hulk winning every round I say. All Hulk needs to do is get his hands on Doomsday and crush his skull into powder. When Doomsday comes back; wash, rinse, repeat.
  • Grundy
    An infinite battle with each round going to Hulk. I like that.
  • punisher
    no way man. Im sorry but your trippin like a purple headed chicken. First of all doomsday beat superman, and superman beat the crap out of the hulk within a few seconds of fighting. So if superman did that and had struggle with doomsday then the hulk would be no match.

    Peace. punisherlive
  • Grundy
    That is true, but since Superman's original battle with Doomsday, Superman has been beating him easy for the most part.
  • Cbbailey351973
    He won cuz dc and marvel had a fan vote duh, and there were more sup fans.
  • HULK SMASH 'nuff said'
    One thing of note about Doomsday's reincarnation ability. Doomsday dies, then much later comes back to life and is now immune or heavily adapted to whatever killed him the first time.

    That simply doesn't work against Hulk. Hulk punches and kills Doomsday a Power Level X, when next they meet Doomsday is immune to Power Level X, this severely P!$$E$ Hulk off, Hulk get madder, Hulk gets stronger, Hulk hits Doomsday at Power Level X + Y, killing him. Rinse repeat. There is no limit to Hulk's power, therefore if he kills Doomsday at Power Level X then next time they fight he will simply need to raise the bar another step.

    Now to those people saying Hulk is Mortal, you can drown him. Seriously shut up, why comment on things if you don't have a clue on what you are saying? Hulk is 100% capable of Breathing Underwater! Furthermore he can survive in Space, though is limited in the fact he cannot sufficienty move up there (no way of propeling himself).

    Hulk is not mortal, research Maestro and you will find that the Hulk can not be killed.

    Doomsday could tear every single bit of flesh off of the Hulks bones devouring it all and within seconds Hulk will be fully regenerated. This isn't fanboy BS this is based on the Hulk's comics, where he has regenerated from a near skeletal state to fully healed in a matter of seconds!

    So, first Doomsday has to punch Hulk hard enough to penetrate his hide, granted he probably could, then he needs to do enough damage to keep his Healing at bay for several seconds, this is doubtful, then needs to do this without A) Making Hulk angrier, and B) getting hit.

    There is a limit (and I don't know what it is) where eventually Hulk will be strong enough to 1 Hit Kill Doomsday, the fun part is finding that limit. So I think I speak for Hulk when I say, bring it on douchebag! HULK SMASH!!
  • Cbbailey361973
    World war hulk, it goes to show anyone who is for doomsday has not been reading world war hulk ya know were he took on the whole marvel universe.
  • Dark Stallion
    Well i do agre to most of what you have mentioned, but there is a limit where he cn't be more angrier, as long as bruce banner is inside hulk...he wouldn;t be able to handle the rage....making hulk turn back to bruce...after a certain point.....that point would be reached... coz of Doomsday/....but yes he would have to die few times......thn he wud be stronger. I am refering to the Doomsday from Hunter/prey....not the current...whimp
  • Jymac, you can't correct anybody by stating an incorrect thing. Re-check your facts, because it's you who is wrong regarding doomsdays origin and powers.
  • Jymac
    First let me correct everyone, Doomsday does not die and come back to life! Superman put him down but did not finish the job, why I don't know. Please research the creation of Doomsday because he never died and resurrected, a sample of his blood (genetic material) was re-grown to recreate him when the creatures on his planet killed him. Every death thereafter was permanent! Some try to say his body is indestructible which is totally false even superman broke his spiny bones again research and you will find this is true. If once he is put down and properly disposed of like feed his body to a star sun or any power-source of pure degeneration you won't have to worry anymore. Why Superman did not throw his body into the sun is beyond me. Superman himself is not impenetrable and we know this fact cause he can shave with his Xray vision and the fact that Doomsday made him bleed. Hulks regeneration is as fast as Supermans if not faster, his body feeds on the continuing energy excitement of his Radiated gamma cells. Like nuclear fusion his energy is constantly recreated as long as he is in angered combat. Superman and Doomsday do not have energy producing cells their energy is drawn from solar light sources and slowly at that they require time to regenerate. (Keep in mind Doomsday was created from a kryptonian child) Thats time they don't have when hulk is on a smashing rampage. Hulk can pick up Thor's hammer and break Wolverines bones and continues to get bigger and stronger the longer he is Hulk angered mode. With enemies like Doomsday and Superman trying to put him down I don't see where you could keep hulk calm in these situations which means it's curtains for them both.
  • Single fight, Hulk, ongoing... would eventually be Doomsday, but a fully unified Banner/Hulk would keep that `eventuality' a loooonnnggg time coming.
  • Andrew
    Doomsday? More like DoomsGAY!!!

    Haha! That said, the Hulk wins because Doomsday is nothing but a poor man's incredible Hulk.
  • jack
    I say Hulk all the way. However, given Doomsdays ability to adapt after everydeath, eventually Hulk will have used up every resource he has to defeat doomsday. The way i see it, the hulk is fighting a video game that never ends where eventually the hulk will not have enough energy to keep fighting. Eventually Doomsday will win.
  • HellsColdDay
    Doomsday adapts a little as the fight goes on, but the major adaptations happen after he "dies" and comes back. I still stand by the fierceness of the Hulk over Superman wins the day.

    I will say that I'm mad at how the character is being used today. Now he gets beat down as a side story.
  • Doomsday
    hulk would not ever beat doomsday. because of the fact that the hulk is still mortal, he might get stronger as he gets mad but he can still tire, and doomsday is virtually invincible because every time he regenerates he adapts to what ever blow the hulk will TRY to put up. So basically what you do to doomsday once will never happen the second time around. i like the hulk, but sorry i know he loses this one
  • HellsColdDay
    The principle at play here is that Hulk gets progressively stronger with anger. At first, Doomsday would dominate, but then Hulk would catch up.

    The problem is that by association I'm saying Hulk is more powerful than Superman. He's not, but Superman is so concerned with preserving life, that he wouldn't let loose until it was too late.
  • Daniel Montgomery
    There's no chance Hulk could ever beat Doomsday. Remember that Hulk is still mortal but super strong and with super defense. All Doomsday would need to do is hold him under water or bring him to outer space where he can't breathe and Hulk is done. Also, like superman, Doomsday is FAR more agile than Hulk. Sure Hulk can leap mountains at a time but Doomsday can circle the earth in the same amount of time. So they are basicly the same strength but Doomsday has basicly no weaknesses and is much quicker.
  • ricardo
    your an idiot hulks tissues adapt to his enviorment and in the comics he has grown gills so taking him under water wont do shit and he has fought on the moon and space so that wont do anything either hulk wins fuck you he can woop everybody except for the one above all and that living tribunal guy thats it fuck you buddy have a bad day =]
