Thanos or Hulk—who was stronger?
In Marvel, there was a complete box stacking theory for comparing combat power, but it also depended on both sides' condition.
At the moment, Thanos did not possess the Infinity Gauntlet, and the Dark Dimension—Thanos's domain—had not yet developed to its peak.
This time, he had brought neither a spaceship nor chariots, not even any subordinates. He was alone. Having nearly suffered a brain hemorrhage from rage twice in a row, his tactical mind was far from clear. Anger had robbed him of some of his reason, greatly reducing his combat power.
Likewise, although Hulk was said to possess unmatched strength and would reveal an even more formidable background in later stories, he had now vented some of his anger on various planets. If his anger was insufficient, his strength would diminish as well.
Neither of them was at peak condition, making it difficult to determine who was stronger. But one thing was certain: they both really wanted to hit someone.
The transformed Hulk stood around seven and a half feet tall, while Thanos was about six and a half feet. The purple and green giants collided, and the force of their clash made even space itself tremble.
As the two began fighting, the other four appeared in space not far away. Strange narrowed his eyes at the center of the battlefield and asked, "What happened? Who is Hulk fighting?"
At that moment, the two were evenly matched, with Thanos even holding a slight advantage. But precisely because he could not win, Hulk was growing angrier and angrier.
Anger was like a stimulant to him. Every attack that was blocked fueled his rage further. Before long, Thanos realized that the green creature before him was getting stronger the longer they fought.
