hulk wins
SpideyQuad - 1/19/2012, 7:22 AM
A tossup? Is Peter's power added Cain's?
plasticman - 1/19/2012, 7:23 AM
Colossus drop Thing like a bad habit? This is a tough one, but I have to side with teabag on this one.
CrowPirate1 - 1/19/2012, 7:27 AM

NOW THAT IS MORE LIKE IT!!!
Sanderman - 1/19/2012, 7:29 AM
i figured with the avengers movie coming out soon they'd go back to green hulk
Mk616 - 1/19/2012, 7:36 AM
"Colossanott," wins!
MassExecutions - 1/19/2012, 7:41 AM
This is a pretty good fight.

You know, I just can't keep hating the Red Hulk. Yes, he was a gimmicky introduction, and yes they had him beat up other characters too easily for awhile, but I've read some of the recent issues, like Hulk of Arabia, and those are just old school style comic fun. I like it. Also, I hope that new villain Sultan Magas shows up again.
PsyBoy - 1/19/2012, 7:44 AM
Colossus wins for sure!... I think.
RorMachine - 1/19/2012, 7:48 AM
Collosunaut for me, but maybe only because I'm bored of Rulk.
GUNSMITH - 1/19/2012, 8:00 AM
COLOSSUL-NUTS WILL WIN.
padrejeff - 1/19/2012, 8:23 AM
Colossus alone would give Rulk a run for his money, but powered on top of that with Juggernaut's power? Rulk doesn't stand a chance. Clossunaut should toss him out like garbage. Even Thor had a difficult time with Juggernaut, even with once removing the aura of invulnerability around him. Rulk should be toast. This would be one death I hope doesn't come back from the dead. Too many hulks hulking around. Let's go back to just one.
padrejeff - 1/19/2012, 8:24 AM
Colossunaut should rip off Rulk's head and drop kick it to the moon. That would be a sight to see. Also, it give the Avengers a pause that Rulk could be taken out like that.
SuperSomething616 - 1/19/2012, 8:32 AM
@ SpideyQuad - I agreed is it Colosuss's power + the juggernauts?

Cause if it is...Rulk wouldnt stand a chance...
Shaman - 1/19/2012, 8:33 AM
My favorite X-man for the win!
Denn1s - 1/19/2012, 8:37 AM
rulk kicked thor's ass and punched the watcher...colossus is colossus + juggernaut. that's a tough one...probably colossunot because he is unstoppable and rulk will be exhausted after a while..
JRoark - 1/19/2012, 8:38 AM
You're all wrong.

Remember how Rulk seemingly lost his ability to absorb the energy of his opponents, else he would face bitter consequences? Banner later admitted that was a lie in order to "leash" Ross.

In a battle against Peter, Ross would simply absorb the energy coming forth from the Crimson Ruby of Cytorrak and use it to augment his already great strength to knock Peter's BITCH ASS OUT.

Look up the Red Hulk Marvel Wiki page. It says he still has his energy absorbing powers, and that his strength is equal to that of the savage hulk when he is at his angriest (not my words, theirs).

It's not even a fight.
TheEmperor - 1/19/2012, 8:39 AM
Going with the Russian on this one. Colossus to win.
padrejeff - 1/19/2012, 8:41 AM
Why don't we just have the Avengers and Xmen decimate each other and then have all the super-powered criminals rise up and divide up the world like what happened in Old Man Logan. marvel could keep maybe a few of the real popular guys around but it would be a whole shift in the playing field. Could create some cool stores and simplify the Marvel universe. Things are too complicated nowadays. It would give Marvel a change to re-engineer things without complete reboot. It wouldn't wipe out what went before it, just a continuation of things.
Shaman - 1/19/2012, 8:41 AM
Well yeah, if Rulk goes all "red tampon" on Colossus' ass, it's all over. I just didn't know he could. Now i'm just pissed Marvel invented a retarded unbeatable tampon.
Shadowmaster35 - 1/19/2012, 8:51 AM
Seeing as how I hated Ross as a human and even more so now that he's a freakin Hulk yeah i'm going with Colossernaut for this one.
bathead - 1/19/2012, 8:53 AM
Red Hulk really is the worst character ever. He makes no sense, why would he not have the mustache? Oh wait cause then we would have all known who he was an not bought all those comics for a year! I would still be reading hulk if not for this character.
JRoark - 1/19/2012, 9:06 AM
And I realize, too, that if Rulk can absorb anyone's energy, he just might be the biggest badass on the planet... In order for someone to beat him, he would have to go up against someone whose energy he couldn't absorb--either they'd have too much energy for him to absorb, or it'd have to be a kind of energy he wouldn't be able to absorb (like psychic energy, or maybe even magical energy). Maybe they'll consider the Juggernaut's energy "magic" energy and that's why Rulk won't be able to absorb it and that's what'll make it a fight. Maybe that's their angle. We'll see. Otherwise it's going to be pretty boring. It's just that so far Marvel hasn't put any limitations on what he can absorb. I'm surprised he hasn't absorbed Iron Man's batteries when fighting him, or something like that. Maybe it's only bio-energy he can absorb. It's probably just one of those b.s. "We're not really going to define it, we're just going to adapt it to fit the needs of whatever story we're writing" kind of powers that writers love. Le sigh.

SinAllnite - 1/19/2012, 9:25 AM
I might interject the fact that rouge and Colossus can touch with no consequence. Then maybe this fight will have a diffrent outcome that no one will intisapate.
thegreek - 1/19/2012, 9:31 AM
Wtf... This how marvel keeps it interesting u give colossus the juggernut power ... Seriously? And people complain about DC ... For shame
AgentDelta - 1/19/2012, 9:44 AM
Where does Ross' moustache go when he Hulks out? :/
Rulk - 1/19/2012, 10:05 AM
RULK for the WIN!!

Award winning Jeff Parkers Red HULK Book is the best out there! Plus he's been awesome in Avenging Spider-Man!

@JRoark - Yes, Banner lied that Ross lost his absorbing power. But RULK will no longer use it because if he does, he's been warned that he'll never be able to turn into Ross again. He'll possibly remain a Hulk forever.. That's something he just wont risk.

@Bathead - All short hairs, hence his mustache and eyebrows get lost behind his swollen red flesh.
Rulk - 1/19/2012, 10:12 AM
ALL MUSTACHE QUESTIONS: - All short hairs, hence his mustache and eyebrows get lost behind his swollen red flesh.

Jeez... you accept super heroes can fly or have super strength but disappearing mustaches??? UNBELIEVABLE!!! :P
adamcawa - 1/19/2012, 10:26 AM
Rulk absorbs too much power from Cyttorak, overloads, dies. Bannulk is forced to return.

Done and done.
adamcawa - 1/19/2012, 10:39 AM
@ wolverinesfury

During the Marvel crossover event Fear Itself, Cain (as Juggernaut) lifed a mystical hammer (as did Hulk, Thing and a bunch of other powerhouses in Marvel lore) and became a "Worthy" called Kuurth: Breaker of Stone. Eventually, Kuurth goes rampaging through San Fransico, forcing the X-Men to stop him (Kuurth had already beaten the Thunderbolts). When Cyclops has Hope use all of her power to take off Kuurth's helmet, the X-men realize, in vain, that Kuurth is immune to mental attacks (unlike Marko's Juggernaut). So Colossus and Kitty plea to Cytorrak that Marko serves another master now (The Serpent, who is main antagonist of Fear Itself). Cytorrak gets jealous and agrees to transfer it's magical powers to Colossus.

Colossus then proceeds to whip Kuurth's behind, which even both versions of the Thunderbolts couldn't do. To give you an idea of his power, not even Thor could beat one of the Worthy single handedly until he was given Ragnorak by Odin.

The Worthy were eventually defeated by Ragnorak and various Avengers of different lineups, who all had magical uru armor given to them by Odin via a deal he made with Iron Man.

Colossus has become addicted to the Cytorrak's power and I'm fairly certain he can't transform into his human state, or if he can, he's too addicted to try. (I could be wrong though, as they really didn't delve too much into Juggolossus during the Schism event and I've not read the comics leading up to AvX.)

I assume Colossus will become a villain in the near future, perhaps because of the AvX storyline. It's gonna be epic.
marvel72 - 1/19/2012, 10:40 AM
i would love to see colossus come out on top of this fight.

so the avengers has thor & two hulks on their team,its pretty much game over.
adamcawa - 1/19/2012, 10:45 AM
@JRoark

Rogue couldn't absorb the powers of Cytorrak (and instead just absorbed Cain's memories), so I assume Rulk couldn't either. Cytorrak only has one avatar. Dr Strange cannot overcome Cytorrak's magic, and Thor could only temporarily limit Juggs invulnerability.

So I presume they'll just say that Rulk can't absorb his power. Although he wouldn't if he could because then he can't turn back into Ross, unless that too, is a lie.
TheRageNetwork - 1/19/2012, 10:47 AM
i predict rulk will drain juggernaut of his cyrotek power, reverting him back to collosus. no im not bored of rulk in any way,,, check out avenging spider-man 1-3 and x-sanction for more rulk entertainment, im glad we have a comic book section on this site now. a vs x will rock, im routing for the xstinction team, and i dont know how thor and green hulk have been promoted, maybe the odinson will return
Rulk - 1/19/2012, 11:53 AM
@ monkeyballs3 - LOL, you goof..
MaddMonkk - 1/19/2012, 12:10 PM
I'd rather see the real Hulk and the real Juggernaut go at it again! but I go with Juggolossus (patent pending for adamcawa)
deanwilkins - 1/19/2012, 12:45 PM
Colossus for the definite win. Rulk won't take the risk absorbing his power, and this new Colossus is more powerful than Juggernaut was in his prime.
bathead - 1/19/2012, 2:25 PM
Wait,wait,wait...... That line about the short hairs being under his flesh is a real thing from Marvel? Hahahahahahahaha!! Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard!!! I thought the first guy to post that was just joking!!!! I guess I would have known that before if I kept reading Hulk, now I'm even more glad I stopped. Hahahaha, thats just retarded crap that Jeph Loeb needed to make up to write a character that doesn't make any sense.
marvelguy - 1/19/2012, 2:40 PM
This is one of the more ridiculous gimmicks! Colossus, the powerhouse with an artist's soul, is now infused with the Juggernaut. Why does he wear the helmet? Why wasn't there a better idea?
And Red Hulk? Can't wait for Red and Blue Hulk to fight...I mean... Superman?
SageMode - 1/19/2012, 5:45 PM
I see Cyttorak Colossus taking this fight. Red Hulk will put up a good fight but Colossus takes this.
luckylu - 1/19/2012, 6:25 PM
i say colossal juggs
SkaarJones - 1/19/2012, 10:21 PM
Red Hulk wins this. Green Hulk beats both into a coma.
SkaarJones - 1/19/2012, 10:43 PM
@adamcawa Savage Hulk broke Cyttorak bands. Rulk is at a highly enraged Hulk strength level. Rogue could not absorb Silver Surfer's power either. Rulk drained him.
adamcawa - 1/20/2012, 9:12 AM
@ SkaarJones

Doesn't matter, it doesn't excuse the fact that Rulk is the stupidest Marvel creation since Howard the Duck.

Beyond that, Cytorrak is magic, Power Cosmic is not. There's not telling what will happen. Beyond that, Dr. Strange conjured Cytorrak bands to hold Hulk. Thus they were only as powerful as Dr. Strange's will. That's not the same as being an avatar of Cytorrak. If Dr. Strange can't even control Cytorrak (he has been unable to depower Juggernaut before), then we have to assume it's on a magic power level even greater than Sorcerer Supreme, possibly not even able to be controlled by Zom. ALthough, presumably, Sise Neg absorbed Cytorrak, since he absorbed all the magic in the entire Marvel Universe.
loki668 - 1/20/2012, 9:41 AM
I don't think Rulk would last too long in the proximity required to attempt to drain Colossus. Colossus + Powers of the Juggernaut (avatar of Cytorrak) = Red Hulk beaten to a gooey paste.

Lord Loki has spoken
JustDame - 1/20/2012, 12:41 PM
idk if Rulk has been depowered since his first arc with Loeb and McGuiness because it was just terrible to me...but if he hasn't then there isn't many people who would stand chance against him. Definitely not Colossus.
SkaarJones - 1/20/2012, 4:27 PM
@adamcawa Rulk is growing on me. Still like seeing him get curbstomped by Hulk. Hulk crushed Zom. Depowering Juggy should be akin to depowering Thor for Dr. Strange. They are god-powers. Rogue was able to drain alot of Ares power. Rulk's power works more on energy and power Cosmic, which is arguably a god-power endowed by Galactus > Allfathers. Maybe he can drain him and maybe not. He should beat him though.

Rulk is not depowered. He can still absorb. Red She-Hulk too.
Watcher - 1/20/2012, 8:06 PM
I guess I don't even need to give MY opinion. lol
FactorThree - 1/20/2012, 9:48 PM
Colossus/Juggernaut.
The whole X-Men, including Magneto could not hold Fear itself's Juggernaut back.
Cytorak Colossus did. Rulk is good, he is not the Hulk.
Strength and overall power goes to Colossus.
Has far as Rulk draining his energy goes is a little sketchy. I don't know if Rulk has ever drained magic before, and if he could, could handle the Cytorak? If he can then he has a chance. If not, then it's clear that Colossus would win.
But this fight is a fight that will have an interesting outcome... if it even has an outcome.
