10 Most Ridiculous Things The Hulk Has Survived

6. Shot Point Blank By Black Bolt - World War Hulk

World War Hulk was the big sequel to the divisive series Planet Hulk, where The Hulk was banished to another planet after wrecking up Las Vegas. World War Hulk picks up when the ship that brought him to his new home exploded with enough force to kill everyone Hulk had grown to love, including his pregnant wife.

Yeah, Hulk does not return happy.

And his first stop on his big grievance airing tour is the Inhuman king, Black Bolt. Black Bolt, for those not in the know, has a voice so powerful he can't even whisper without leveling a city block. Which The Hulk learns very thoroughly when Black Bolt hits him point blank with a single whispered word, "enough", sending him flying.

But of course, if it were that easy to take out The Hulk, we wouldn't be having this conversation, so The Hulk gets up without even really feeling it, or at least so bottomlessly angry that no amount of damage can truly keep him down. After all, he didn't come to hear Black Bolt whisper. He came to make him scream.
