The verdict: Spider-Man needs a miracle

Fight rules: both fighters at their peak, no preparation, no allies, only their own powers and personal gear. A win is a knockout, a restraint they can't escape, or a forced surrender. The percentages are fan estimates, not official information.

Spider-Man's edge

Much faster and far more agile. A low-rage Hulk can be made to chase shadows until he tires or Banner surfaces.

Hulk's edge

Strength that climbs with his anger and has no known ceiling, near-invulnerability, rapid healing, and thunderclaps that flatten city blocks. One clean hit ends it.

Who is Hulk?

Bruce Banner was a brilliant, emotionally guarded physicist when he was caught in the blast of his own gamma bomb while saving the teenager Rick Jones. Ever since, stress or rage has turned him into the Hulk, whose strength has no known limit: the angrier he gets, the stronger he becomes. The Hulk was a founding Avenger, a gladiator king on the planet Sakaar and the conqueror of New York in World War Hulk. Banner's fractured mind holds many Hulks, from the savage child to the cunning Joe Fixit.
