8 Comic Villains Humiliated By Hulk

8. Thanos

The caveat to this particular entry, is that it took place in the skewed world of Marvel Zombies.

While many will remember Thanos slapping Hulk around with ease during the opening scene of Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel Zombies saw the Jade Giant topple his rival without even breaking a sweat. And by topple, here that meant actually killing Thanos.

This all took place in Marvel Zombies 2, set 40 years after the initial Marvel Zombies run that saw a who's who of Marvel Comics' most famous and infamous names turned into shuffling undead versions of themselves.

Here, with the remaining zombies having eaten pretty much anything and everything possible on Earth, they had up to the stars in search of food. With grub in short supply, bickering and unrest kicks in amongst this zombie horde - to the point where Zombie Thanos decides to pick a fight with a Zombie Hulk who the zombified Mad Titan believes has eaten more than his fair share of flesh.

Rather than a back-and-forth argument or an all-out, multi-panel, multi-page battle for the ages here, readers instead saw Zombie Hulk unload one of his patented Thunder Claps on Zombie Thanos' skull - squashing Thanos' head and putting down the Titanian Eternal permanently.
