10 Different Ways You Can Actually Defeat The Hulk

10. The Power Cosmic

There are precious few comic book characters The Hulk has failed to knock out, but one he tends to struggle with is The Silver Surfer.

The pair memorably crossed paths in Tales to Astonish #92-93, a story which saw the green Goliath attempt to hitch a ride into outer space on Norrin Radd's board to flee from his earthly pursuers led, as usual, by General Ross.

The Surfer wasn't overly keen on the idea of a potential Hulk rampage in the cosmos and declined to be his silver chauffeur, a disagreement that soon turned violent when Banner's alter ego reacted the only way he knows how - angrily.

Even without calling upon his godly abilities, the Surfer is capable of putting The Hulk on his backside, which he did without breaking a sweat by hurling his board at him.

When the not-so-jolly green giant refused to stay down, Radd used the Power Cosmic to send his opponent into unconsciousness, becoming one of the few heroes to make taking down The Hulk look easy in the process.
