Among the iconic characters of Marvel Comics, few are as renowned for their sheer power as the Hulk. Titled as “The Strongest One There Is, ”Bruce Banner’s formidable alter ego constitutes one of the most potent forces in the Marvel Multiverse, often leaving a trail of vanquished foes in his wake. However, despite his immense strength, the Hulk is not without challengers who can seriously threaten his dominance.
10. Gravity
Created by Jim Shooter & Sal Buscema
Dr. Franklin Hall, also known as Graviton, has cemented his status as a fearsome adversary of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. His ability to manipulate gravitons bestows him almost unrivaled control over gravity within a two-mile radius. This skill allows him not only to fly but also to produce force fields and gravitational anomalies that can immobilize or even crush opponents, including the Hulk. The Jade Giant, despite his power, is still vulnerable to Graviton’s gravitational might.
9. Titan
Created by Robert Kirkman & Scott Kolins
While not the first name associated with Super-Skrulls, Titannus possesses an overwhelming force. Known for his remarkable strength and durability, he has triumphed over the Hulk before and has bested numerous other heavy hitters such as Doctor Strange and Carol Danvers. His unique energy-absorbing armor can siphon gamma radiation from the Hulk, making him a formidable threat. Remarkably, Titannus’s defeat on one occasion did not last, as he returned even more determined to challenge Earth’s heroes.
8. The Champion
Created by Tom DeFalco & Ron Wilson
The Champion, also known as Tryco Slatterus, belongs to the select group of Elders of the Universe and wields extraordinary physical prowess. Once empowered by the Power Gem from the Infinity Gauntlet, he easily defeated many heroes.

7. Courses
Created by Walt Simonson
Kurse, a powerful Dark Elf, fully embodies his name, exhibiting strength significantly surpassing even Thor’s. Enhanced by the Beyonder, he embodies unstoppable endurance, agility, and resilience. With such vast power, Kurse is one of the select few threats that can contend with the Hulk’s mighty strength in a physical confrontation.
6. Seascape
Created by J. Michael Straczynski & John Romita Jr.
Morlun stands out as one of the most terrifying Inheritors in the Spider-Verse and possesses an incredible level of strength that could rival that of the Hulk.

5. The U-Foes
Created by Bill Mantlo & Sal Buscema
Originating from a failed experiment designed to emulate the Fantastic Four’s powers, the U-Foes are a collective of four formidable opponents. Individually, they may struggle against the Hulk, but their synergy in battle has previously forced the Green Goliath to push his limits. Their notorious rivalry continues to elevate the stakes every time they encounter the Hulk.
4. Zom
Created by Stan Lee & Marie Severin
Zom, a mystical being who vastly transcends conventional combatants, stands as a rival whose potential could challenge even the Hulk.

3. Mango
Created by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby
Mangog, the embodiment of hatred for Odin and Asgard, possesses devastating physical strength and a unique ability to grow stronger by feeding off the anger and resentment of others—a method that allows him to directly counter the Hulk’s rage-fueled might. Thus, an encounter between these two titans would lead to a dramatic escalation of power.
2. Molecule Man
Created by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby
Owen Reece, known as the Molecule Man, possesses reality-altering powers that place him at the pinnacle of threats within the Marvel Multiverse.

1. The Void
Created by Paul Jenkins & Jae Lee
The Void embodies the dark side of Sentry, presenting a severe challenge to the Hulk.
