So he thinks that the Silver Surfer, Thor, Firelord, or Drax are no match for the Hulk. He has this incredible hero worship over the Hulk, thinking that the green monster will just get stronger the more damage he takes, thereby making him impossible to beat.
I think this is an exaggeration of the Hulk's strength. I believe there is a very definable limit to the Hulk's strength as well as the amount of punishment he can take. Aside from that, the Silver Surfer, Thor, and Firelord are beyond human powers as they are cosmic entities.
1.) The Silver Surfer especially can travel at (faster) than the speed of light, and possesses Power Cosmic, which can literally just blast the Hulk (as well as the entire planet that he's standing on) to pieces. This is actually a no contest, but my cousin insists that the Hulk can't be destroyed even by that.
2.) Thor possesses a similar type of blast as the Surfer, made through hurling Mjolnir with a thunderstrike. These blasts are light based, and thus are impossible for the Hulk to dodge or resist, as the Hulk, though superhuman, still possesses a heart, which will undoubtedly stop when exposed to an extremely high electrical voltage.
Aside from this, Thor has, in his warrior frenzied state, defeated both Drax the Destroyer (who possessed the Power Gem at that time) and the Hulk at the same time (he hurled the Hulk from space all the way to Earth).
3.) Firelord's power isn't limited to just fire. He was also a one time herald of Galactus, which means he also possesses Power Cosmic, maybe to somewhat a lesser degree than the Surfer, but it's still enough to blast the Hulk away.
On the other hand, my cousin insists on a couple of movies that illustrate some things that are completely different from what we know in the comics.
1.) In "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer", the Surfer was very easily stripped of his power when his board was stolen, making him basically powerless without his board, but we all know that this is complete nonsense when compared with the Surfer in the comics.
2.) In a couple of animated short films featuring the Avengers vs. the Hulk, Thor is shown to be completely no match against the Hulk, and even the entire Avengers squad had difficulty taking him down. This of course, doesn't really make much sense against the comics.
3.) Another animated short film direct to video called "Hulk vs" pits the Hulk against the entire army of Asgard, destroying pretty much everything in his path, defeating both Thor and Loki at the same time effortlessly, and even forcing the mistress of hell to send him back to Earth. The justification here was that Bruce Banner was removed from the Hulk, thereby freeing the beast to exhibit maximum power.
What do you guys think?
