Red Hulk vs. The Thing: Why Red Hulk Wins the MCU Matchup

Vibranium shredding strength and Ross's tactical mind outweigh Ben Grimm's remarkable durability

Red Hulk versus The Thing: who wins? Red Hulk wins, because he ripped vibranium apart with his bare hands.

Red Hulk tore through Sam's vibranium wings

In Brave New World, Red Hulk tore through Sam's vibranium wings like they weighed nothing, and the film just straight up shows it. Vibranium is one of the toughest materials in the entire MCU, and Red Hulk shredded through it with raw strength alone. Behind all that power is Ross's military intelligence: decades of tactical experience operating inside a Hulk level body.

The Thing is a genuine powerhouse

Ben Grimm's near indestructibility held up in a battle where Galactus showed up to eat the planet. He hauls ships out of the oceans and topples buildings, and he's so tough that Galactus threw him into outer space and he kept on fighting. In a straight fight, he's one of the toughest beings in the MCU.

Red Hulk's strength makes The Thing's durability look small

While The Thing's durability is remarkable, Red Hulk's strength tore through something like vibranium, which makes The Thing's durability look small in comparison. Ross is going to find the weak points in The Thing, and it's not going to be pretty. Red Hulk wins.

Who do you think wins between Red Hulk and The Thing?
