Who would win this match up? They’re both strong as he11, and indestructable. My money goes on The Hulk (Old school) due to the fact that as he gets more and more angry, the stonger he gets.
…but my money’s on the red cape. Of course, it’s possible he might be temporarily stupid, but Superman is generally portrayed as being nobody’s fool. If he got in a fight with the Hulk, he’d find a way to calm him down.
Of course, Supe’s such a goody-two-shoes, he wouldn’t win the fight by a knockout, but he’d probably find a way to change the Hulk into Dr. Banner who, as we all know, would immediately decide in favor of nonviolence.
~~Baloo
They did this match up in one of those old DC-Marvel crossover issues in the 70’s (Lex Luthor needed the Hulk to indirectly free some other villian, IIRC, and Superman had to stop the Hulk’s rampage. As you would suspect, it had to be a draw.
Still, doesn’t the Hulk have no limit on how strong he gets?
Eventually he would be stronger than Superman but he still is pretty dim and I’d imagine ol’ Supes outsmarting him.
Oh Please. The Hulk is OK but even assuming similar strength levels Superman has super speed and before gamma boy could utter “HULK SMASH!” Superman could grab him and throw him into the sun (although he’d probably trick him into defeat somehow instead of crisping him). End of story…pass the popcorn.
This was also done in that cheesy DC versus Marvel crossover story line a couple years ago (just prior to that Amalgam thing). I think Supes came out the victor.
My money is on whoever the script says will win.
I know I have a vintage comic somewhere that I have not seen for at least 10 years, in which Thor defeats the Hulk. In fact, he kills him. However, it was because the Hulk left himself wide open while he was about to kill Thor, and Thor was forced to take the opportunity to strike or be demolished. The comic was one of the Marvel “What If” series.
Superman always was a little bit too powerful for any character! However, owing to DC’s lack of consistency up to the late 1990s, Superman’s powers fluctuated greatly. At times he is strong enough to move the Earth out of orbit, and at others he can barely uproot a tree, the wimp. On the other hand the Hulk always stomps everything flat. My money is on the Hulk, although if Superman is having one of his good days he would probably win.
Underwear on the outside vs.
Surprisingly elastic pants (or pants with nothing in them) 
Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn
Puh-lease.
Even smart Hulk (remember he’s had more variations than Microsoft bugs) couldn’t stand up to big blue. Supes has extra powers, an idealistic zeal that remains unmatched and more determination than the hulk could muster.
Heck he could probably talk the hulk to death with a speech about hope…
Now Hulk vs Doomsday would be interesting.
One thing to consider is that David Banner, being a scientist, probably knows about Superman’s weakness around kryptonite. Hell, up until a few years ago, everyone knew about kryptonite and it was so common that they must have been selling it at Walmart. If Dr. Banner had time to prepare for the fight, he’d get a chunk of the stuff and clip it to his belt (after all, he wears those super-baggy pants that fit both himself and the Hulk 
). Then when Superman showed up he be too weak to win the fight.
I don’t know about Superman, but I propose that a fully spinach-charged Popeye the Sailor Man would clean the Hulks clock.
Yup; Superman’s extra powers would turn the tide. While the Hulk’s charging at him, just turn on the heat-ray peepers and melt him into a big glob of green goo.
Of course, Supes would never do this. He never melted Luthor or the Prankster down, no matter HOW dirty they played. But if he’s tricked Mr. Mxyzptlk into saying “Kltpxyxm” two thousand times since 1938, he can figure out how to reBannerize the Hulk.
Anyone remember the titanic battle between The Thung and The Inedible Bulk in NOT BRAND ECCH comics back in the late 1960s?
“Wait! Bulk doesn’t have skinny pink arms! Oh no! I’ve turned back into my NORMAL FORM!!!”
“Ya call THAT normal?”
This is the GQ answer. For all else, I turn you over to IMHO, where slythe could easily kick either one’s ass. Maybe both together.
Are we talking about the Superman before, or after, Crisis on Infonite Earths ?
If it’s the post-Crisis Superman, he and the Hulk would be about evenly matched. If it’s the pre-Crisis Superman, poor Hulk wouldn’t stand a chance. Pre-Crisis Superman can bench-press the solar system, and thermonuclear hydrogen bombs would bounce harmlessly off his chest.
Er, Crisis on Infinite Earths, not “Infonite Earths.” Damn typos.
Assuming stupid Hulk, I’ll say Superman hands down.
Assuming the hulk is back in his Grey Period (Joe Fixit) I’d still say Superman, cause he wasn’t as strong in that period. But it’d be a closer fight, as GH has more
intelligence than your basic Green Hulk.
Heck, Doc Sampson can stand up to him for a bit.
The Thing (current) can too.
Juggernaut vs Hulk? That’d be fun.
Silver Surfer vs Hulk: no contest, SS hands down.
So … how about Hulk vs. Star Destroyer?
A. The hulk would not be mad at Superman, because he’s a prince.
B. Superman would not be mad at Hulk, except if he tugged on the cape, and probably not even then.
I think in a death match, Superman and Hulk would agree not to fight each other, but team up to talk King Kong off the ledge.
Gotta go with Superman. Although I think an interesting fight would be (off the subject) The Thing and Gambit. You see, Gambit has the power to charge inanimate objects with kinetic energy, and The Thing is one big inanimate object! So all Gambit has to do is get one hand on The Thing (mind you he could because he has superhuman agility as well) and bingo, no more Thing.
