TheHulkhas been calledthe strongestAvengergiven his unparalleled , major planet - shatter force , but within the 2099 futurity of Marvel and DC ’s crossing universe , the Hulk would be considered the weakest Avenger ( for one specific reason ) .

The Incredible Hulk was put up after Bruce Banner was reveal to an blowup of gamma radiation , effectively mutating his body and giving his interiorise alter - egos forcible form that manifest as dissimilar versions of the Hulk . From that gunpoint ahead , anytime Bruce get angry or accentuate , he transforms into a giant , green , passion - filled monster . While the Hulk is n’t completely inordinate ( with some being more reasonable than others , give their take issue level of brainpower function ) , Bruce is commonly a peril to everyone around him whenever he makes the translation . If he loses ascendancy as the Hulk , there is almost no one alive strong enough to stop him . That is , unless the Hulk lost ascendency in the Amalgam Universe ’s 2099 hereafter , in which case , he would n’t even pose enough of a terror to ask to be stopped in the first place .

The Amalgam Universe 2099 is Powered By Cosmic Ray Energy (Hulk’s Weakness)

Inthe Amalgam UniversecomicSpider - Boy Team - Up#1 by Roger Stern , Karl Kesel , and Jose Ladronn , the amalgamation of Spider - Man and Superboy ( known as Spider - Boy ) is whisked forth to the hereafter of 2099 by that time period ’s greatest heroes . During the course of action of this risky venture , Spider - Boy happen time - manipulating villains , becomes responsible for the wage hike of the great next Italian sandwich of all clock time ( Spider - Boy 2099 ) , and witnesses the timeline itself change drastically . At one point , when it becomes imperative for Spider - Boy to go back in time to his original nowadays , he finds that the future he was trapped in had changed so much , that the original time machine did n’t even work . Spider - Boy says that he needs electricity to power the machine , but it ’s explained to him that the now - permanent version of the world in 2099 does n’t use electricity , only cosmic ray vigour .

As any Marvel Comics fan will attest to , cosmic ray are the Hulk ’s kryptonite , as he is weakened by them to the point of shriveling up into an incredibly frail version of himself before ultimately give way by being reduced to bones . This was shown in graphic detail during theImmortal Hulkseries when the Hulk is combat the U - Foes . While he is able to conform to the cosmic rays in theImmortal Hulkthrough his supernatural connection with the Below Place , that threshold has quite literally been shut , and the Hulk has had this impuissance to cosmic rays long before any otherworldly elements became associated with his character . This means that , at any point in his Marvel Comics story , the Hulk would be greatly sabotage just by step foot in the Amalgam Universe 2099 , as he ’d be completely surrounded by his one impuissance .

Luckily for the Hulk , he has to not only be in the Amalgam Universe to be impacted by this particular weakness , but he has to be in the alternative 2099 future within that separate reality . In short , it is n’t potential this world power by cosmic ray will become a trouble for the Hulk anytime before long . However , that does n’t neutralise the fact that , in the DC and Marvel crossover creation , the ‘ Strongest Avenger ’ would in reality become the weakestAvenger – and it ’s all thanks toHulk ’s helplessness to cosmic rays .
