Re: Hulk vs Superman
I've got no original arguments to make; you folks have pretty much said everything I was going to say on the matter already. But I'm going to say it anyway.
In a raw strength-versus-strength battle, Hulk would stand a good chance, especially if the fight goes on for more than a few pages. Once he works up a good mad, there are few that can withstand it.
On the other hand, Superman is a LOT more versatile. Even if (and it's a big if) Hulk has a higher damage class rating, Superman can do a lot more different things. In the end, I think versatility beats violence.
And let's not forget that DC's top echelon heroes are almost always written as being much more powerful than Marvel's. In practically any such discussion, the DC character is going to win under normal circumstances.
"Normal circumstances", of course, depend on who's writing the book...
