10 Marvel Heroes You Won't Believe Defeated Hulk

By this point, Wolverine and Hulk's many confrontations have been well chronicled. Readers know how their first battle was interrupted by the introduction of the Wendigo, and how, in various variations on the match-up since, both Logan and Banner have emerged supreme.

With that in mind, it should stand to reason that a confrontation between the Hulk and Deadpool would yield similar results. After all, Wade Wilson possesses the same healing factor as Wolverine, has seen similar training and, while nowhere as experienced, has survived potentially even deadlier encounters.

All of this matters not in the grand scheme of things though, as the one time the Merc with a Mouth defeated the Hulk came in Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, a narrative framework previously utilised by both the Punisher and Wolverine wherein the titular figures pretty much destroy Marvel's entire roster.

In this story, Deadpool takes down the Hulk by cheating. Hulk literally tears him a new one, leaving Wade to play the waiting game until he reverts back to Banner, at which point he lops off the doctor's head with one of his swords.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
