Hulk vs Juggernaut


This is as good a way as any to come back to the fold. The other day I received an IM from my former coworker, Nick Carswell, where he asked what he thought was a very straightforward question. Perhaps out of some sense of boredom or maybe because I just need to prove every once in a while that I haven't wasted my life reading comics, this is how the conversation went:


Nick: who would win in a fight
juggurnaut of the hulk
Jamison: tough call, which hulk?
savage or bruce banner-smart hulk
Nick: i dont know.
what?
how many hulks are there?
and what does savage mean?
Jamison: and by savage do you mean "hulk smash" hulk or "hulk makes sentences with no articles while talking in third person" hulk?
Nick: ah
gotcha
uhmmm
Jamison: and this is classic juggernaut who still has the gem of cytorrak, right?
Nick: arent they the same in terns of fighting ability
and yes the gem is still ther
e
there is a new juggurnaut?
Jamison: it's a tough call, at the end of the day, the juggernaut is magically empowered to be "unstoppable" so if you deprive him of momentum, theoretically, he'd be a lot weaker whereas the hulk gets stronger as he gets madder, so there's theoretically no limit to the hulk's strength
Nick: thats what i thought
hulk cant die can he?
Jamison: if they were fighting just to fight in optimal conditions, i'd say the hulk has the ultimate advantage
he's like wolverine, he can be damaged, but he heals fast
Nick: but the hulk ego wont let the body die correct?
Jamison: that is true
the hulk's highest instinct is self-preservation
Nick: yeah
and jugg is not un killable correct?
Sent at 11:59 AM on Monday
Jamison: jugg is empowered by magic, so hypotethically, i don't think he can be killed either
Nick: cant you take away his powers?
Jamison: if you rip the jewel out of his chest
Nick: so in theory hulk could get pissed enough to do so? and what is WWH refer to?
Jamison: he probably could, but that would be one pissed hulk and it would be a long hard fight
World War Hulk = WWH
Nick: ah
that is what they are talking about
Nick: what is the abomonation?
Jamison: abomination is a russian doctor who basically underwent the same process to be like the hulk but he keeps his human persona as abomination and i don't think he can go back to human
Nick: ah
and hulk can kick his ass correct?
Jamison: yeah, most the time, but they're similarly powered, so it's like ken fighting ryu
Nick: gotcha


The Moral: When comic guys talk to video game guys, you have to start employing the language of your counterpart to get the idea across.
