Welcome all again to another Battleworld Brawl. As I promised you last week, I would bring you the battle of brutes which I have. On my left side standing an outstanding 7’0, and weighing in at a wimpy 1200 lbs, the Red Hulk. His opponent on my right, standing a towering 8’10 and weighing in at 915 Doomsday. Both competitors are respected brutes in their universe, and sure as hell will prove it in a spilt of a second. So this fight will be nothing, but brute strength and surprising facts. Strap in ladies and gents and enjoy the show!

The Red Hulk was first introduced to us in 2008, making his first appearance in Hulk Vol 2  #1. Making a pretty rough introduction to the marvel universe, you can say he really wasn’t the most liked character. Not just in the marvel universe, but also in the eyes of some readers. A lot of people, didn’t take much of a liking to the character, due to the fact he literally bashed his way throughout the universe at will. I personal too a liking to his face punch first, maybe ask questions later method. It’s good now and then to see your favorite heroes get knocked around a couple of times. As you can guess, Red Hulk has the same super human qualities as his counterpart, The Hulk. Strength, stamina, durability, healing factor, speed, and self substance. However there are a couple of things that differ from the big green one. The Red Hulk’s strength stays constant, which is in a way a slight advantage. As you know The Hulk get’s stronger as he gets madder, however the Red Hulk gives off radiation as he get’s madder. He can give off some much radiation, that at a point it looks as if he’s on fire. However, that is also one of his weakness. He can only take so much of the radiation that he gives off before he passes out of heat exhaustion. Another one of his power’s that can really make him hard to defeat his is ability to absorb energy. A majority of the energy he absorbs is gamma, but has also been known to absorb cosmic as well. In Hulk Vol 2 #12, he absorbed the Silver Surfers cosmic powers, than rode off on his board, talking about exiting in style huh. As well he once absorbed the Hulk’s gamma radiation, leave Bruce powerless. However too much energy absorption can lead to the Red Hulk, to never be able to convert to his human form. Almost nearly impossible to defeat, he does have a weakness, that Hulks share which is their human form. Even though Thunderbolt Ross is one tough son of a gun, he’s going to want to stay in his Hulk form for this fight. As big and strong as he is, he’s been known to not have a real liking to sharp objects as well. One key advantage point, that Hulk has over Doomsday is his mind, Ross has complete control of himself when he turns into the Red Hulk. A strategic hulk is definitely a dangerous one.

Now let’s move on to Doomsday shall we. Doomsday was created by Dan Jurgens, in 1992 making his first appearance in Superman: Man of Steel #17. Like Superman, he is also a kryptonian which was created long before humans kryptonians took over. Doomsday was created, by cloning an infant, and having him killed harshly over and over. With what was remaining left cloned, and that the process was repeated over and over again. Harsh right, however you do have to remember Doomsday doesn’t have a conscience. He’s basically knows only one thing, kill anyone that’s kryptonian, and anyone that get’s in his way. Besides his superhuman strength, stamina, and reflexes, the killing machine has some pretty interesting attributes. Probably the most known is his evolving healing factor, technically Doomsday can’t die. This being said due to his up bring, for each time he is killed he comes back immune to what killed him previously. Now there is a however to that, however long it took to take him down, whether it being minimal damage, or a long battle determines his return. Let me give you an example. Let’s say it takes minimal damage to kill him, he can return within months. Now let’s say it takes a long hard-fought battle that may last over months, it can take him years or more before we see him again. You probably saying no it wouldn’t take months to bring him down, well your wrong Doomsday can literally go months of duking it out before even thinking about catching a breath. Ask the man of steel himself, he once with days fighting him before even he got tired. Doomsday shield is amongst the strongest in the universe, and his bones armor protects his vital organs. One thing that people may not be aware of is his absorption cells. Any superhuman within a certain range of doomsday, cells are replicated, and stored in the big brute for later use of his choosing. A pretty useful thing to have fighting against Ross.

Now that we have a little more insight on both characters, it’s time to declare a winner. Strength wise, both of these brutes are evenly matched, along with their superhuman qualities. In my opinion what it’s going to come done to is who can outwit who. Like I stated earlier, Red Hulk is Ross, no savage mind there what so ever. Unlike Doomsday who has shown a conscience once, most of the time objectives are set on kill. So does that give this battle to the Hulk? No not quite yet, remember Doomsday can’t technically die, his evolving healing factor is his key to this fight. As the Hulk, Ross doesn’t age but in his human form he does. If Ross does manage to kill Doomsday, I’m sure the battle will last for some days resulting in a longer recovery period for Doomsday. Let’s say years down the road Ross doesn’t want to fight anymore, but forgets he even fought Doomsday, which would’ve been years ago. A stronger Doomsday immune to want killed him before, would over match the older Ross. Now even though he may not be old when he goes Hulk, his mind will. A less strategic Ross, can give Doomsday the advantage here. So for this week’s battle, I’m giving it to Doomsday. Immunity to what killed him before is just something you can’t take lightly. Let me know you would’ve declared the winner!
