10 Marvel Heroes You Won't Believe Defeated Hulk
How do you stop the strongest Avenger? Not easily...
He might be the strongest there is, but even the Hulk can't win every fight. Sure, he's notched a number of incredible victories since debuting in 1962 - some against the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe - but during that time he's also experienced some pretty messy defeats, and sometimes against characters who really have no business of sending Jade Jaws packing in the first place.
In truth, it's these kinds of confrontations that Marvel fans treasure the most. Everyone loves a good David vs Goliath story, and given characters don't get much more powerful than the Hulk, it's a fixture the House of Ideas' creators keep on coming back to time and again.
The end result is never usually the same either. Sometimes a given hero is able to beat the Hulk down into submission, while others are able to hold him off long enough that he has no other choice but to call it quits.
Yes, there's a difference between knocking the not-so-jolly-jade-giant out and simply surviving a close encounter, but some of Marvel's heroes have been able to do just that - survive - with aplomb, earning a well-deserved moral victory as a neat little bonus to go alongside simply living to see another day...
