The Best Fights From The Epic 1996 Marvel Vs. DC Crossover (& Who Won)
In Metropolis, the Superman of the ’90s ran into the Incredible Hulk after the pair worked together to stop Mentallo. After being transported to the Grand Canyon, where no innocent bystanders could be hurt in their battle of pure strength, the two heroes landed some serious haymakers against one another.
After hitting the Hulk with a punch that would kill most heroes, Superman learned that his heat vision could potentially subdue the Jade Giant. However, the blast of energy only further angers the Hulk. After a slugfest between Kal-El and Hulk, Superman extends the last of his strength to knock Hulk into a mountain and take out his opponent.
Like some of the outcomes from the “DC Versus Marvel” crossover, Superman’s victory was decided by readers, and it’s hard to argue with the result. Superman is just a more well-rounded, powerful hero than the Hulk. It’s why he was also victorious in their later encounter in the one-shot, “The Incredible Hulk vs. Superman.” If measured solely by strength, there is definitely an argument for the Hulk to come out victorious, but one-on-one, the Man of Steel reigns supreme. The battle between A-list heroes showed why.
Winner: Superman
