Of all the X-Men fans would expect to fight the Hulk, Havok, aka Alex Summers, probably isn't very high on the list - let alone of those you'd expect to be actually capable of defeating him either.
However, it just so happens to be the case that the other Summers brother (the original being Scott Summers, the X-Men's Cyclops), fought with the Hulk and not only survived, but emerged victorious too. This came about in The Incredible Hulk #150, after Banner's other half had taken Lorna Dane hostage.
As Havok confronts Hulk, Jade Jaws picks up a giant piece of rock to hurl at his would-be pursuer. Alex then concentrates all his power at the Hulk's head, causing him immense pain and forcing the one-time Avenger to let go of his makeshift weapon, and collapse in agony.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
