10 Times Spider-Man Won A Fight He Should Have Lost

6. Sending The Hulk Into Orbit

The Hulk and Spider-Man have tangled many times. Spider-Man's goal during these fights? Keep moving quickly enough to stay alive and hope the Hulk either tires himself out or loses interest. And being a conscientious sort, Spidey usually tries to lead the Hulk away from crowded areas so the big green giant won't hurt any bystanders.

But in Amazing Spider-Man #328, the wall-crawler actually earns a decisive victory against the Hulk.

To be fair, a lot was going right for Spider-Man in this battle. First, the Hulk was in his less-powerful, but smarter, Mr. Fixit phase during this fight. And, even more importantly, Spider-Man during this time had acquired cosmic powers. So when Spider-Man punched the hulk, he actually sent him into orbit.

But even with those advantages, it's jarring to see the much smaller Spider-Man defeat the Hulk, in any form.
