Dan, your on. I hope you don't mind waiting intill 3:30 though...

Uh, Juggernaut is unstoppable in his *own* words. Even if Superman or Thor couldn't knock him out, they could throw him into space. Or Superman could melt the ground around him, shove him into it, and freeze it. Or throw him in the ocean, or...Well, you get it.

I'm not sure the Juggernaut is all that unstoppable. Spider-Man didn't use telepathy, only concrete, and that seemed to do the job.

George - Suppository humour already? This early on?

That should dispel the negativity!

Great work Kevin! Peace at last! Now we can discuss punching again.

Seeing that panel, you really do get a sense of how strong Doc Samson would have to be in order to have a ghost of a chance of knocking Hulk down, whatever the mitigating circumstances. I wonder why they 'de-powered' him for the second edition of the MU handbook?

JB's rendition of actually having the Hulk sucker-punched for the first time couldn't have come from a better source, but She-Hulk should have clipped him first.

JB, you should watch more Jerry Springer...

That is a cool punch!

I also liked seeing JB's renderings of Hulk's rogues gallery during the hallucinations.

JB:  We need you on a "fight" book again soon.

I love the great speed lines in that panel.  The sweeping arc of Doc's swing, the Hulk's head snapping back...

Wow!  Does John really need you looking over his shoulder all the time?  Take offense on other people's behalf much, Roger?

 

Matt, I'm just saying it's a bit of a rude comment to an innocent fan remark, a bit uncalled for I think. I was wondering why he thought it was necessary? John already has a bad enough reputation in comicland, this sort of thing tends to make things look worse.

Roger, you've obviously been a member longer than me, but this is JB's house in a way.  I'm not sure it's rght for you to give the proverbial "punch in the chops" (ala your avatar...) to the host. I've always thought it somewhat rude when people do that to JB.

Well, it's not directed to anyone in particular, it's just from an email I got from a friend at work.
