Sharpshooter Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Actually he doesn't, The Hulk has developed a gland that enables him to breathe underwater ,The Incredible Hulk vol. 3, #77 and stated that he would adapt to the vacuum of space,The Incredible Hulk vol. 3, #90 which he later did, spending prolonged periods without needing to breathe.World War Hulk: Prologue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 He can't hold his breath forever.....and also, why would he hold his breath during a fight? Also, how would The Hulk know that a trap was set and that he was breathing in a chemical that would knock him out? Hmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I think the problem we are having in this thread is that people are using the inconsistent powers/abilities given by many different writers over the years. Whenever there is a real matchup, such as the DC vs. Marvel, there's always an agreed upon set of powers. The powers for the uber-powered guys are always fairly realistic as well. Superman isn't able to move planets, the hulk isn't able to destroy planets with a punch, etc... Over the last 100 years or so, the imagination of some writers has been all over the place. If you're going to take the most extreme examples of feats and use those as the upper limits of powers, any kind of comparison between heros gets ridiculous pretty damn fast.

Heretic Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 As he can travel faster then light, he might be able to push the hulk into a black hole and escape - whereas the hulk wouldn't be able to escape a black hole... The Man Called Nova Powers and abilities Nova derives his powers from an energy source called the Nova Force, which all Nova Corps Centurions wield. This energy was transferred by Xandarian technology to Rider by the Nova-Centurion Rhomann Dey. Nova's small measure of the Nova Force gives him superhuman powers including flight, superhuman strength, speed, and durability, as well as the power to absorb energy directed against him and release it as gravimetric pulses and beams, either from specific parts of his body or from his entire body. Nova wears a standard Xandarian StarCorps uniform, designed to accommodate his powers without being damaged by them. The uniform is highly resistant to damage, including outer space conditions, and is airtight. The helmet contains a plexiglass-like plate that can be lowered to cover the lower face by cybernetic command, thereby making the helmet airtight; the helmet is connected to an oxygen supply concealed within the uniform. In addition, the uniform has a built-in life support function that can sustain Rider under the most extreme environmental conditions, including acting as a life-support suit by locking off the mouth and eyes of the helmet. The helmet contains radio circuitry enabling Nova to pick up radio transmissions, monitor transmissions, telescopic sights, night vision sensors, and heat imaging sensors, as well as overlay a visual heads-up display for tracking energy signatures. Nova's helmet has a rigid construction and shape when worn, but becomes as malleable as cloth when it is not, allowing Rider to hide it in his civilian clothes when desired. Rider can also alter the appearance and nature of his uniform to suit his needs. However, as Rider learns the hard way, the StarCorps keeps a strict dress code. When he makes major cosmetic changes to his uniform after rejoining the New Warriors, Nova is summarily ordered to conform to standard. Nova's uniform is not only extremely malleable; it is also designed with specific weapons and functions to aid Rider in his role as a Nova Corps Centurion. Among these features are an electromagnetic discharge that can nullify gravity and access to StarGates that allow him to enter hyperspace, where he can move at velocities exceeding the speed of light. Nova is a good hand-to-hand combatant, and has been coached by Chord. During Annihilation, Rider's uniform is altered and enhanced to house the Xandarian Worldmind and aid him in containing the Nova Force. As host to the entire Nova Force, which was previously used to empower all members of the Nova Corps throughout the universe, Rider is now possessed of tremendously augmented strength and durability as well as nearly limitless quantities of energy. However, he's now bonded to the Nova Force itself, and unable to survive for long if separated from it. In addition to the Nova Force, Rider's body currently houses the Worldmind, the entire culture and history of Xandar as well as the individual minds of thousands of years of dead Xandarians. The consensus voice of the Worldmind can speak directly to Rider, and has demonstrated the following capabilities: * It helps Rider contain the whole Nova Force while keeping his mind and sanity intact. * It downloads profiles of opponents directly into Rider's mind.[70] * It detects nearby energy surges, including those used in teleportation.[70] * It can assume control of Rider's body as he sleeps.[71] * It can access other computer systems, including heavily-protected terrestrial computer networks such as S.H.I.E.L.D. records.[71] * It analyzes attackers, including detecting adrenaline surges in their bodies.[72] * It detects approaching super-humans with energy-based powers (like Penance).[72] * It enables Rider to hack into satellite TV broadcasts, and transmit his voice and image to individual TV sets.[72] * It can protect Rider from psionic manipulation using psi-shields.[73] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 so nova has basically become the physical incarnation of the nova force? sounds like that is pushing him beyond the cap limit of powers allowed in this discussion, then again we could limit him to "pre-Annihilation" Nova.
