Thought of the day: Doctor Octopus should not have been able to defeat the Hulk

In 1992, there was a six-issue run in Spider-Man called Revenge of the Sinister Six. I loved this particular run. I enjoyed the story and artwork by Erik Larsen. There's just one thing that I thought was bogus which I'll explain in a sec.

It started in Spider-Man #18

To keep the synopsis short, Doc Ock comes back for some more mayhem, ditching his old tentacle harness for some new super long, super powerful adamantium arms. When fully extended, these things take up so much room that they can practically fill up an empty wearhouse. So yea, they are pretty awesome.

Seriously?

Now, he has a run-in with the Hulk and he completely and totally beats the snot out of him. This is where I call shenanigans.

See what I mean? Shenanigans.

Octopus' arms may have been indestructible, but this is the Hulk, boys and girls. From what we have seen Hulk be able to withstand, there's no way that Ock could have had the upper hand. The green machine went toe-to-toe with the likes of Sentry (defeated), Iron Man's Hulk Buster armor (defeated), Abomination (defeated) and countless others that have unbelievable powers.

That's why the Hulk is perfect. The angrier you make him, the stronger he becomes.

'Nuff said.
