Two Health Bars: Hulk effectively has two lives due to his ability to revert back to Bruce Banner when his health is depleted.

Mobility: Incredible Leap allows Hulk to quickly reposition, escape danger, or chase enemies.

Team Utility: Indestructible Guard shields allies and charges Hulk’s Ultimate, offering protection during fights.

Crowd Control (CC): Abilities like Radioactive Lockdown provide valuable stuns to disrupt enemies and objectives.

Monster Hulk Transformation: Hulk Smash dramatically increases his health and enhances his abilities, turning him into a near-unstoppable force.

Frailty as Bruce Banner: Bruce has the lowest health in the game and limited mobility, making him an easy target.

Vulnerability to Ranged Heroes: Hulk struggles against heroes with long-range attacks that can poke him down before he closes the gap.

Reliance on Gamma Energy: Without sufficient Gamma Energy, Bruce cannot transform into Hulk, limiting his effectiveness.

CC Susceptibility: Hulk is vulnerable to stuns and other crowd control effects when Indestructible Guard is on cooldown.

Predictable Movement: Hulk’s large size and straightforward melee focus make him easier to target.

Ranged Damage Dealers:

Heroes like Iron Man or Star-Lord can poke enemies from a distance while Hulk draws attention as a frontline tank.

Support/Healers:

Doctor Strange or Groot can keep Hulk alive longer, allowing him to maintain pressure.

Area Control Heroes:

Heroes like Scarlet Witch synergize well by locking enemies in place for Hulk to jump in and deal damage.

Weak Teammates:

Other Melee Tanks:

Pairing Hulk with heroes like Captain America can lead to redundancy and a lack of ranged threat.

Low CC Heroes:

Hulk benefits from teammates who can help control enemies while he closes the gap.

Hela:

Her mobility and stealth make it difficult for Hulk to land hits, and she delete him before he gets to her.

Hawkeye:

Long-range attacks and high burst damage can pressure Hulk before he gets close.

Scarlet Witch:

Her area control and CC can shut down Hulk’s mobility and trap him in unfavorable situations plus she does % health damage on hitscan.

Spider-Man:

Spider-Man’s mobility and web attacks can keep Hulk at a distance, but he struggles if caught in melee range.

Iron Man:

While Iron Man can poke Hulk from range, he is vulnerable if Hulk closes the gap with Incredible Leap.

Thor:

Thor’s versatility can pose challenges for Hulk, but a well-timed Radioactive Lockdown can neutralize his abilities.
