We recently published an article about characters who could easily defeat the Hulk and, somewhat predictably, the pro-Hulk brigade simply weren’t having any of it.

That’s fair enough – fans have every right to defend their favourite characters but, in the case of the Hulk, it’s in the face of clearly opposing facts.

The big green hero is still seen by many as being invincible, unkillable, the strongest there is and capable of overcoming any foe – regardless of the blatantly obvious advantages that countless numbers of characters have over him.

This is nonsense, however, as he has been beaten in many ways – and indeed completely stomped and humiliated – on literally hundreds of occasions in the past.

The only way to prove that is the case, it would seem, is to run through some on-panel instances that categorically prove that Hulk isn’t as powerful and unbeatable as some people seem to think he is.

With that in mind, this article is going to highlight the Hulk’s weaknesses and display – in absolutely no uncertain terms – on-panel proof of his vulnerabilities.

Let’s discuss why the Hulk isn’t as invincible as many people seem to think he is…

He Can Be And Has Been Mind-Controlled

Hulk can and has been mind-controlled. On several occasions, in fact.

Fans of the character will often say that he can’t be controlled and that he is immune to telepathy and such, but the on-panel evidence says otherwise.

Hulk has a high level of resistance to being controlled, but he is by no means completely immune.

Characters who have controlled the Hulk in various ways (telepathy, magic etc) include the likes of Thanos, Mentallo, Abyss, Enchantress and Doctor Strange (in Doctor Strange’s case, it was Bruce Banner that he controlled, but Hulk didn’t take over and intervene, as some people would argue he categorically would).

The two instances pictured are when Thanos made him attack his fellow Avengers and when Doctor Strange had him diffuse a bomb.
