Yew i know, "Every character gets haters, blah,blah,blah," but it seems as though people hate him so much that i seen battles like World breaker hulk vs Aunt may and everyone said that aunt may would make a poison and inject it into hulk, therefore killing him. What? It doesn't really bother me that much but when people say hulk has no story and never loses, that bugs me because he has got a very in depth story but for example when he went against his son (Skaar) That was actually very emotional and a good story in my opinion! Anyway who do you guys think is the most hated character on comic vine?
Hulk
Character » Hulk appears in 7771 issues.
After being bombarded with a massive dose of gamma radiation while saving a young man's life during an experimental bomb testing, Dr. Robert Bruce Banner was transformed into the Incredible Hulk: a green behemoth who is the living personification of rage and pure physical strength.
The hulk, most hated character on comic vine?
All characters have haters, but more so the popular and powerful characters (such as Hulk) I think. So do all characters have their fair share of fanboys/girls.
Personally, I don't hate the Hulk at all. He's not one of my favourites, but I can respect him as a character.
Not too sure yet, but I reckon Wolverine perhaps has more haters on this site?
I been here for about 3 years, and I couldn't tell you who the most hated character on comic vine is.
I'm a Hulk hater, i have always hated the Hulk. In fact, i hate the Hulk even more than i hate Batman (which is A LOT)

This
Although I have to say he does have a good measure of suggestion/persuasion that pierces the 4th wall, enough to make fans scream 'Hulk is the strongest'

Most hated? I dunno. Most downplayed for sure though.
Couldn't agree with you more.
Most underestimated and downplayed.

enough, the hulk haters have died down a bit since i first joined, there is no need to start this up again, i hate many characters myself and i still respect them. the reason people hate the hulk is because of his fanboys who think that he could beat galactus. he is also hated because he is very powerful and most of his wins in battles are blamed on popularity( i've seen this many time, but not that much on CV), hulk is a good chracter , but his fans take things to far, yes he is very powerful but there are some characters he can't beat. HULK fans need to accept that, and haters should just keep it to themselves.
You know what I hate more?
People who complain if Hulk defeats a powerful being/entity, yet cheer when someone like Thor or Silver Surfer or Thanos do a similar feat.
Hypocrites, I say.
If Hulk can't beat beings on Galactus level, then neither should Thor or Surfer or Thanos or any single being be capable of doing so directly. Now I believe that Hulk/Banner can defeat Galactus using a combination of tech, prep, intelligence, tactics and power. It works for Reed Richards, Dr. Doom, and Thanos, why not Bruce Banner/The Hulk?
And that's another thing people overlook and underestimate. Banner's intelligence and cunning. He's on par with Richards, Doom, Pym and Stark, for crying out loud! He's even outsmarted and outdone these guys more than a couple of times! Give Bruce Banner and The Hulk some repsect!
@Selinaky: Wolverine sure do have Alot of hater's most of them if not all are from Cyclop's fangirl army who think he can do no wrong.

are you accusing me for hating the Hulk? thats interesting considering he is may favorite character, Hulk can't beat galactus, neither can thor or silver surfer, i hate hypocrites just as much as you, especially when thor fans cherry pick thor good showings and ignore everything else. all i was saying is that hulk fans take things way to far, just go on youtube and simply read the comments on the hulk video. Bruce banner is on par with reed, his is very intelligent, and i also believe that he could beat many opponents like Thor and such the same way he can be defeated by them as well. I agree that hulk gets downgraded immensely on comicvine, and when i post some of hulks great durability feats they call it PIS, when thor does it it's completely valid for some reason.
No, I'm just stating a fact that few people, unlike you and me, are willing to admit. I'm just thankful I'm not the only one who understands this. :)
Here's some interesting facts about Hulk.
These are for those who know very little about the Hulk/Bruce Banner.
Everyone should take a look.
The Hulk's reputation is nothing less than, "The strongest there is." And few are more qualified than General Thunderbolt Ross to describe the Hulk's strength. "Those of you who do know me know that I'm not one for melodrama -- so you'll believe me when I tell you that the Hulk is arguably the most powerful -- and dangerous -- creature to ever walk the Earth!" From Rampaging Hulk #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...pagingHulk1.jpg
Army scientist, Dr. Zaxon describes Hulk's vast power as immeasurable. "I can hardly believe these readings! He's a veritable blast furnace of limitless organic energy! There is no way to even measure is strength!" From Tales to Astonish #78:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ect02TTA078.jpg
Doc Sampson reinforces this with his own battery of tests, "There truly seems to be no limit to the Hulk's strength!" From Incredible Hulk #228:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...spect03a228.jpg
Even the mutated super-genius, Leader, realizes, "The tests are worthless! There's no way to measure his strength! There is nothing he cannot do! I cannot build a device powerful enough to test him with!" From Tales to Astonish #73:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ing04TTA073.jpg
Henry Gyrich debriefs members of the Initiative and reveals that the Hulk is "The original omega level threat." From Avengers Initiative #5:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Initiative5.jpg
Wolverine personally recounts, "It's like he hits ya so damn hard ya actually leave your own body. It's when ya come back that ya feel the pain. An' ya realize yer goin' toe-to-toe with a walkin' earthquake." From Wolverine Origins #28:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...neOrigins28.jpg
Siryn compares the Hulk to Juggernaut and Deadpool retorts, "The Juggernaut? Compared to the Hulk?! You oughta lay off the glue for a while, babe... it's messing up your perceptions," from Deadpool #4:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...12Deadpool4.jpg
Unfortunately, recognition of the Hulk's power can lead to equal amounts of fear. Such is evident in Reed Richards' rationalization for banishing him, "Time and time again, your anger and power have threatened the entire planet. . . . But for your sake and ours, we're sending you away." From Incredible Hulk vol.2 #92:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...spect19v292.jpg
Even his perennial foe, Namor, understood the consequences as he warns the Illuminati of Hulk's inevitable wrath in New Avengers: Illuminati #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Illuminati1.jpg
That same fear led Tony Stark to specifically invent the power-inhibiting S.P.I.N. technology as revealed in Avengers Initiative #4 and the Superheavy Cell, "a liquid with programmable density" that would be like "dropping raw tonnage on their backs," as revealed in Fear Itself #7.3. But even Stark understands it would only hold him for a little while anyway:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...Initiative4.jpg
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...earItself73.jpg
Nevertheless, his oldest friend, Rick Jones, has never lost faith in the hero inside the monster, even during his rampage in World War Hulk #4:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...pect23aWWH4.jpg
And most of the Avengers hold a deep respect for Hulk, especially the big three: Captain America, Iron Man and Thor. From Incredible Hulk #277:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...espect05277.jpg
Thor, in particular, reveals to the Hulk (possessed by Nul the Breaker of Worlds), "I cannot beat you. You know. And I never could." From Fear Itself #5:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...FearItself5.jpg
And Cap's remarks during Avengers Vs X-Men #11 say it all, "You know I respect you and your space and I would never come to you unless I was at the end of my rope. . . . I need more firepower. . . . I know you only fight a fight worth fighting. And I'm telling you this is one of those fights. If we lose this we lose everything. Will you help us? Please."
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...pect26AvX11.jpg
The American public is also well-aware of the Hulk's power. "There is not a man or woman here who has not heard of the Incredible Hulk... who has not seen -- in newspapers, magazines, on national television news broadcasts -- the images of his power... his unmatched talent for sheer destruction." From Incredible Hulk vol.2 #2:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...espect14v22.jpg
The Hulk is famous internationally as well. The Crimson Dynamo remarks, "Though I have heard it said in awed whispers that not even Iron Man and his fellow Avengers have ever prevailed against the Hulk!" From Incredible Hulk #258:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...espect04258.jpg
Hulk's reputation isn't even limited to Earth. Aliens across the cosmos like Kurrgo recognize the Hulk's power, noting him to be the "Earth's strongest creature." From Marvel Feature #11:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...elFeature11.jpg
The Skrulls respect Hulk as "the strongest mortal on Earth," from Incredible Hulk #419:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...espect11419.jpg
The alien Toad Men refer to Hulk in awe, "It was a figure that had become legend -- a figure recognizable to any tad old enough to catch his own flies! The most feared creature in all of Toad-Man history -- the Incredible Hulk!" From Defenders vol.2 #8:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...efendersv28.jpg
Various villains have recognized the Hulk's power. Apocalypse takes great notice of the Hulk's energies as they "may give [him] power over the Celestials themselves." From Incredible Hulk #456:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...espect13456.jpg
Upon defeat, the apparition of Loki tries to convince Professor Hulk to join him with more than a hint of fear in his voice, "With my puissance, and your potential... none could gainsay us. None could stop us. None could triumph over your might." From Tales to Astonish vol.2 #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...spect10TTA1.jpg
The Mad Titan Thanos famously shared such trepidation when faced with the assault of a Power Gem wielding Champion, "In many ways I assume this is what it would be like battling the Terran behemoth, the Hulk. A conflict I've sought to avoid over the years." From Thanos Quest #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...hanosQuest1.jpg
Interdimensional rulers like Nightmare also fear the unbridled power of the Hulk. "I have sought to attack [Dr. Strange] in manipulating the dreams of others... such as the brutish Hulk! That attempt was a dismal failure -- one I fear to try again!" From Strange Tales vol.2 #3:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ngeTalesv23.jpg
The All-Father Odin recognized Hulk's power as he watched Thor's first duel with him, "My son fights valiantly, as an immortal should... against a most awesome foe!! Never have I seen him so close to defeat! Never has he faced a mortal of such incomprehensible power!" From Journey Into Mystery #112:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ect01JIM112.jpg
Even the impossibly powerful Celestials recognize the Hulk's power. Gamiel the Manipulator searched for (and found in Hulk), "evolution's crowning achievement -- the pinnacle of what your species will become..." From Marvel Monsters: Devil Dinosaur #1:
http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/...ilDinosaur1.jpg
The most powerful entity in Marvel ever published, the Beyonder, famously commented, "You are nothing but raging power personified! An infinity of power -- with no finite element inside!" From Secret Wars II #2:

I'm glad too :), Hulk is very cool but when it comes to guys like Galactus , neither Thor hulk, herc, or Silver surfer should win against him, but even if thor did beat him, many won't consider it PIS, it will be valid in their eyes because Thor did it, but if hulk does something impressive then it's suddenly PIS induced by popularity, which is very very stupid, hulks durability and strength shows that he can do far more then what people give him credit for, i am the only one who thinks that a dying Thor doing against and amped Hulk(nul) and Thing(angrir) is PIS, and the reason i think this is because Thor usually struggles against savage hulk in their fights....But no, THORZ HOLDSZ BAKC! this their most famous argument they can sometimes muster, well hulk holds back to, banner holds him back. why do they think WBH was so powerful ? it's because banner and Hulk were working together, they put their differences aside and the result was that hulk became very powerful.
Exactly! If Hulk were to defeat Galactus, they would cry foul, yet if Thor would do it, they'd simply state it as it were naturally supposed to happen like that! It's freaking moronic and absurd! Is it any wonder why I hate those Thor and Superman fanboys!
Yeah, and that lame exuse that Thor was wounded when he fought Nul-Hulk & Angrir-Thing. If they can use that excuse, then I could use the fact that Hulk had adamantium shrapnel embedded in his brain as he fought and overpowered a Warrior Madness Thor. Thor holding back is one of their oldest and lamest excuse, 'cause if Thor was willing to kill Angrir-Thing (who Thor stated to like as a friend) then why would he hold back against Hulk (whom he disliked and called him a giant pain in the ass) did he lash out with all his might and tried to kill Nul-Hulk?! And to further point out, when Thor admited he couldn't and never could beat Hulk, he instantly used his most powerful attack to BFR Nul-Hulk before collapsing face first in the dirt and near death from the beating Nul-Hulk had inflicted upon him!
Well there sure is a lot of hate for Hulk, same goes for Superman and Killer croc. I think they are the three most hated creatures on the site.

AcidSkull took the words out of my mouth. AMAZINGLY many people of our world just love to hate. Once again, this is why the Respect threads are far SUPERIOR then then many of the others.

Also Reed Richards didn't really beat Galactus they came to more a standoff because Reed got his hands on the Ultimate Nullifyer, aside from that no Earth hero short of actual gods in the skyfather range have ever done anything more than convincing Galactus to go elsewhere. And no as much as I love Hulk he would never, ever beat Galactus. Yes Banner can come up with some good tech but not even Reed or Iron Man can come up with tech that can actually harm Galactus (Except for Marvel Zombies which like all zombie related things now days aside from Walking Dead is highly over rated and stupid)
@TheAcidSkull: I said aside from Walking Dead mostly just to avoid a fight I pretty much hate all this zombie bull s**t.

I have to disagree with you on one point.
Dr. Doom managed to possess the powers of the Beyonder, who is even more powerful than Galactus, during Secret Wars. And being that Dr. Doom's intellect rivals that of Richards and Banner, I don't see where it would be impossible for Hulk/Banner to defeat/drive-away Galactus through a combination of tech, tactics, power, prep and intellect.
I'm just stating this in theory with the evidence I have.
Iron Man. That's about it. More writers who are thoroughly undeserving of credit than characters.@FadeToBlackBolt said:
Most good characters get hate on this site, 90% of users here have awful, awful taste..Which characters get too much love then?
@FadeToBlackBolt: Which Writers will that be then? Have read to little Iron Man to call it. Would like to get my hands on Demon In A Bottle but it seems like it is not in print at the moment.
@TheAcidSkull: What he sad. I haven't seen either hate nor love towards Iron Man. He seems to live a life out of focus.
@tupiaz: Ugh, so damn many.
Johns, Winick, Snyder, Brubaker, Bendis, Aaron, Way, Hickman, Abnett and Lanning, Lobdell.
While I'm sure there ARE many people here that don't like Hulk much at all, I don't know where the idea that hes "underrated" comes from. From what I've seen people rate him as he is
