Actually he is not ''New'' but after his show up in Avengers, it seems that is a ''New'' move for Marvel. More importantly many Marvel fans don't want to see a ''Superman pastiche'' among with Thor & Hulk duo.
First Hyperion (Earth-616) was a villain actually, and ''Squadron Sinister'' was pastiche for ''Justice League'' , therefor Hulk and Thor fought against Hyperion many times.
Lets see this battles...
Thor vs. Hyperion
First Thor's hammer has no effect on Hyperion's invulnerability, then Thor uses another way and Hyperion trapped in some bubble... And their second encounter wasundecided due to misunderstanding...
Hulk vs. Hyperion
Their first encounter was undecided as well, however their second encounter in giant size defenders #4 was concluded. Their physical strengths matches equally, and Hyperion's invulnerability protects him, but his enhanced hearing back fires and Hulk's thunderclap knocks him out.
After these, Original Hyperion somehow encounters with his clone and they fights to the death...
Hyperion vs. Hyperion
They evenly matches, in the end original one wins...
In another occasion, he fights against Gladiator equally...
And lastly, in Avengers...
Hulk somehow gets mind alteration from Abyss (more like tempted by contest between Thor), and he beats Thor... (Again)
After Avenger's first failure on Mars, Hyperion joins Cap.'s rescue team, and he matches with Hulk...
Hulk vs. Hyperion
After Abyss losing his control, fight is left unfinished...
Another feats of his...
Faster than lightning
Atomic vision
Invulnerability
X-ray vision
Lastly, he destroyed one of the right hand man of Thanos (Corvus) in Infinity #06
And contest between Thor and Hulk, there is another contender joined. Can it be disturbing for fans ? Lets hear some thoughts about Hyperion, will he be permanent in Avengers or not ?
