Summary

Marvel Comics is brimming with powerhouse that could arguably be the strongest forces on the major planet , though one would be firmly - squeeze to get two heroes more powerful thanNovaand theHulk . So , between the two of them , who would claim the statute title of Earth ’s strongest ? Well , one battle actually settles that debate , and it does so in truly terrific fashion .

In 2014’sNova#23 by Gerry Duggan and David Baldeon , what ’s forget of the Avengers - Captain America , Spider - Man , and Nova - are assessing a potentially world - ending threat . The Red Skull has weaponize Charles Xavier ’s telepathy , turn himself into a being known as Red Onslaught . With this power , Red Onslaught has bribe most of the Earth ’s Hero , including and especially the Hulk .

The interpretation of Hulk fans are seeing in this storyline is called Kluh , who is describe as ‘ Hulk ’s Hulk ’ . The Hulk only exist because of Bruce Banner ’s repressed rage and trauma , with the gamma radiation simply bring that compact passion to life in a terrifyingly literal sense . And Kluh is the pent-up passion within the Hulk that he has to keep at bay , because if he allowed himself to unleash his full anger , Hulk would become an existent villain . In other news , Kluh is Hulk without his proverbial leash , make him immensely potent - and that ’s who Nova was up against .

The Hulk just faced an all - new villain with the power to scramble , and even slip , the Hulk ’s king - and he does so in truly horrific fashion .

The Hulk’s Most Brutal Form Cannot Be Stopped - Not Even By Nova

When Kluh is on a violent disorder across the United States , Nova fly to lay off him , and let loose the full might of his cosmic major power against the rage - fulfil monster . One attack in particular stand out from the rest , where Nova scoot a blast of vigor up Kluh ’s nose and directly into his Einstein . The malefic Hulk ’s chief all but explode upon taking the fire , and while it took everything Nova had to deliver it , Kluh was scarce phased by it moments later .

After surviving what should have been Nova ’s ultimate closer move , Kluh still has enough strength surging through his dead body that he ’s able to deliver a lick with so much force that Nova is launched from Arizona to Paris , France . Then , after Nova recover and dispute Kluh to a replay , the cosmic hero is capable to launch Kluh into outer space , technically earning him the triumph . However , Captain America make it open that this is just a temporary touchstone , mean even the vacuum of space is n’t enough to put the Hulk down for good .

When the Hulk Doesn’t Hold Back, He’s the Strongest Force on the Planet

Nova might be a cosmic warrior capable of saving entire humans from attacking invaders across the galaxy , but this comedian makes it light that all his great power still is n’t enough to even make a dent in the Hulk - let alone permanently defeat him . Hulk endure a stop - blank blast of cosmic vim now to the mastermind before being stranded in the moth-eaten emptiness of space , and he still was n’t defeated . That means every fighter with the same level of power as Nova would n’t be able-bodied to stop the Hulk either when the Jade Giant make up one’s mind he ’s not going to hold back .

This storyline is certainly not the first time the Hulk has proven himself to be arguably the firm force on the planet ( indeed , the entireness ofWorld War Hulkdoes an excellent job debate that point ) , but it is the perfect ‘ versus ’ battle to point at to back up that assertion . Novais a cosmic - level hero wielding power that has become legendary throughout the cosmos , and theHulk(in his Kluh form ) made him search like he was nothing , which effectively settles who the strongest force on the planet truly is .
