Some are comedic and toned down for children, while others are near-godlike beings.

Early versions had to rely on practical effects or simple animation, restricting his potential.

In contrast, modern versions benefit from advanced CGI and the freedom to portray more extreme feats.

This makes him the least powerful iteration in terms of combat or world-breaking capabilities.

For entertainment value, he’s great.

But when it comes to raw strength, Lego Hulk is definitely at the bottom of the power scale.

Viewers would rarely see large-scale destruction or epic battles due to budget and broadcasting limitations.

Still, this Hulk was capable of lifting vehicles, knocking down steel walls, and battling supervillains.

He was solid but far from unstoppable.

Without modern CGI, Ferrignos Hulk relied entirely on practical effects, prosthetics, andFerrignos real-life bodybuilder physique.

Despite these limits, the show gave him impressive feats.

The Hulks MCU depiction has been long and disappointing.

However, Marvel Comics offer some thrilling storylines that could remedy this.

Hulk also lifts cars, rips steel doors, and crashes through walls.

Yet his scale is always within human limits.

He isnt skyscraper-sized or throwing tanks like in the comics or films.

Ferrignos Hulk is more about dramatic intensity than apocalyptic force.

His power wasbelievable and grounded, which fit the shows tone of tragic heroism.

Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and the Hulk in the MCU

This version of the Hulkisnt as wild or rage-fueled, but hes no slouch either.

Still, hes one of the more versatile Hulks ever depicted.

Though limited by 1990s animation, thestorytelling gave this Hulk real menace and depth.

He was capable of thunderous destruction, citywide rampages, and superhuman combat feats.

Its only through coordinated teamwork and brute force that the team is able to subdue him.

His uncontrollable rage and nearly indestructible physiology make him a near-unstoppable force even for Earths mightiest heroes.

Marvel Cinematic Universe

The military stands no chance against him; he tears through helicopters and armored divisions effortlessly.

Despite its mixed critical reception, the film portrayed a terrifyingly powerful Hulk.

His physical resilience, scale, and escalating power make him among the deadliest.

Hulks feats include defeating a giant tentacled beast single-handedly and surviving extreme environmental hazards.

What separates this Hulk from others is his tactical growth hebecomes a warrior, not just a destroyer.

The movie features two short films:Hulk Vs. WolverineandHulk Vs. Thor.

In both, the Hulk is presented as a relentless, near-mindless monster.

InHulk Vs. Wolverine, he devastates entire forests and survives being impaled, shot, and slashed repeatedly.

What makes this Hulk unique is his overwhelming brutality.

He lacks any verbal reasoning, moves withbeast-like aggression, and shrugs off god-tier attacks.
