Johnny Sorrow

The key word here is intangibility.

Unless you’re a huge comic book fan, you might not even know who Johnny Sorrow is. He hasn’t exactly appeared an awful lot and to look at him he isn’t exactly very intimidating, but he could defeat the Hulk without breaking a sweat.

When Sorrow was just a normal man, a teleportation device shredded his body and sent the remains to another dimension. The King of Tears restored his consciousness, which now inhabits a floating suit and mask. In this form he is completely intangible.

However, whilst in this form, he can manipulate almost any kind of energy, such as in the picture below (click it to enlarge it), in which he is throwing back magic, cosmic and other forms of energies at the heroes who fired it all at him. With that in mind, whilst in a completely untouchable form, he could just siphon the gamma energy from Hulk’s body, rendering him weak.

Moreover, Sorrow has another method that would beat the Hulk; as the green hero approached him, he could just take his mask off. While this would render him tangible and therefore touchable, it would also kill the Hulk instantly.

Such is the hideousness of Sorrow’s face that anyone who looks at it dies – and this has worked on beings much more powerful than the Hulk (it even worked, to an extent, on Doctor Mid-Nite – and he’s blind!).

What do you think? Could these guys easily defeat the Hulk? Which other physically weaker DC characters could do so? Have your say below.
