If there’s one fight that comic book fans are constantly looking forward to seeing, it’s Wolverine vs the Hulk. These two iconic heroes have a long history of violence and overkill, which makes their clashes always exciting and intense. With the two recently tussling again in the upcoming Avengers: Endgame, it’s only natural that Marvel fans are giddy at the prospect of seeing these two titans of comics on the big screen.
The Incredible Hulk is the biggest, strongest, greenest superhero in the Marvel Universe. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Hulk is a creature of pure rage. His abilities include telekinesis, flight, and a powerful scream that can demolish buildings with a single blow. He has also shown an impressive amount of intelligence when it comes to fighting and strategy. The Hulk can also heal quickly, which is useful in battle. He’s the perfect weapon for the modern world of superpowered warfare.
Alternatively, Wolverine is the acrobatic, quick-tempered, short-tempered Canadian hero with a fierce temper and an indestructible skeleton. He has spent countless hours in the Danger Room, and his training has made him very skilled. Wolverine is a much faster and more agile fighter than the Hulk, and his adamantium skeleton can take a lot of punishment before breaking. He is a skilled strategist and can use his speed to surprise his enemies. Wolverine also has reactive adaptation, which allows him to heal from wounds and injuries quickly.
Wolverine and the Hulk first faced each other in #180 of the original series, with Wolverine sent to kill the Wendigo. The two fought in a very gory and brutal battle that was eventually interrupted by the Wendigo’s human sister, Marie. She wanted to move the curse onto the Hulk, but her boyfriend had other plans. The resulting battle was so brutal that it has been seen as one of the darkest Hulk vs. Wolverine fights to date, and has been immortalized by Sideshow as both a giant battle-royal maquette and an art print.
The fight in the upcoming film will probably not be as bloody as this one, but it should still provide some excitement and overkill. It’s expected that the X-Men will continue their fighting styles and strategies from the previous films, which means we’ll see plenty of acrobatic, fast-paced combat and some of Wolverine’s trademark brutality. The Incredible Hulk and Wolverine are two of the most popular superheroes, and it’s no wonder that they are so loved by fans all over the world.
