| abstract | - This is a listing of powers and abilities possessed by the Hulk, a fictional comic book superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. The Hulk is a creation that per definition varies greatly in power from occasion to occasion. As with other comicbook characters, his powers are recurrently displayed at wildly different levels to fit story conveniences or the interpretation/unfamiliarity of the writer. In some stories The Hulk has been shown capable of withstanding a ground zero nuclear explosion, as well as the 1,000,000-degree Fahrenheit "nova-burst" of the Human Torch, in one case combined with a full-power lightning strike by Storm. In other stories, he has been shown to be significantly weaker, for example passing out from asphyxiation due to being strangled by an ordinary python, or being beaten and knocked out in physical combat with Captain America. Regardless, over time, the Hulk has been shown to grow vastly more powerful from his origins in the 60s.
