Red Hulk: Just How Powerful Is He?

Red Hulk: Just How Powerful Is He?

Let’s explore what makes him one of the most formidable forces in the Marvel Universe and How powerful is Red Hulk?

How Red Hulk’s Powers Work

Unlike the Savage Green Hulk, whose strength increases with rage, Red Hulk’s strength remains mostly static.

What sets him apart is his ability to absorb various forms of energy, including gamma radiation and cosmic energy. This ability temporarily enhances his strength but  he overheats.

Punching Wolverine’s Face Off

In Wolverine #73, Red Hulk demonstrated just how absurdly strong he is by literally punching Wolverine’s face off.

The panel shows Wolverine’s skull exposed while Red Hulk mocks him, saying, “Best there is, huh?” This is a testament to his raw physical dominance.

Taking on the Phoenix Force

In Avengers vs. X-Men #8, Namor, imbued with one-fifth of the Phoenix Force, took on several heroes, including Thor, Vision, and Doctor Strange.

During this battle, Red Hulk managed to land a punch that drew blood from Namor. While he didn’t win the fight (Namor later broke his arm).

In Hulk #3 (2008), Red Hulk fought A-Bomb (Rick Jones’ gamma-mutated form) and, during the fight, pounded him into the ground so forcefully that he caused an earthquake measuring 10.0 on the Richter scale.
