Help:Ask a Marvelite

Plant guy
I remember reading a special issue of Avengers years ago (the issue was older and I think was a double-sized) that featured holiday oriented stories. Anyway, one of the stories dealt with this smalltime superhero who had plant based powers and moonlit as a standup comedian. Anyone know his name?--KrossTransmit on Holonet? 02:03, 16 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I think you're talking about the 1991 Holiday Special, which saw Captain Ultra (a stand-up comedian/superhero) fighting Plant-Man (pretty obvious why I mentioned him).

The Power Cosmic Holders
Hey, I just wanted to ask, did the hulk ever possess the power cosmic and for how long. Does he still possess the power cosmic. If hulk is/was the holder of power cosmic, then it is not writen in the power cosmic page.

If Hulk had the power cosmic, how much stronger would he be. Could he give himself a "godlike" status like silver surfer to make himself even stronger than galactus himself?, because he was given the most raw power cosmic out of all the cosmic entities galactus created.

Thanks For your time

 * Great question!


 * There are actually two known instances where Hulk gained at least a portion of the power cosmic. In Captain Universe/Hulk, Hulk was granted the abilities of Captain Universe, although it caused him to calm down, essentially negating his Hulk abilities. (Check out the image).


 * Then, in the Marvel Zombies universe, Hulk ate the Silver Surfer's head, which gave him a portion of the power cosmic that the surfer possessed. He was able to retain his Hulk form, fly, shoot energy projectiles, and no longer needed to breathe (as he could talk in space).  Of course, in this instance, the 'hunger' overpowered all the other abilities he had, causing him to constantly search for food.  Hulk's cosmic abilities, along with the others' who ate the Surfer, allowed them to kill Galactus and feast on his remains!


 * Hope that's what you're looking for. :)

 * Technically, though, the Uni-Power isn't related to the Power Cosmic. Its origins lie in the Microverse.

Thanks you guys, exactly the question i was searching for :D now i have another question, which should be underneath this question Anvillious 06:35, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Could The Venom Symbiote Be Stronger
As the headline implies, the question is that could venom be stronger than the other symbiotes. Has this ever happened before, or is it possible. ive recently heard somewhere that the venom symbiote "absorbed" the carnage symbiote, causing Cletus Kasady to paint himself red and wander the streets as a fake, human carnage.

what does that term "absorbed" mean. does that mean he can absorb other symbiotes and gain their powers + get an automatic augmentation in his own powers ?

venom is a all time favorite character of mine, along with hulk definatly, but since hulk is the strongest, i guess i just wanted to know if venom could be stronger to battle the high powered beings (colossus, abomination, hercules etc etc)

and my last final question, could venom bond with the hulk, i know this has happened before, but in this case the hulk is fully powered, and is not weak (like the mindless hulk that the venom took all the gamma radiation from).

would both of them be stronger, and since hulk virtually has unlimited adrenaline that goes through his body at the same amount as the niagra falls, could venom be stronger, and in turn make hulk stronger at base calm level... and once he gets angrier, his level of power that increases would increase as well(eg, if hulk gets augmentation in his strength of 10 tons when he gets a bit angrier than he already is, would venom augment his strength to about 30 tons??) ... so all in all, both of them would benefit in every way.

Thanks alot for your time Anvillious 06:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)


 * So I believe you're talking about the time in, when the Venom symbiote drained Parker, and moved on to take over the Hulk, and then Thor after Banner was no longer suitable. What was established in that book was that the symbiote cures Banner of his gamma problems, effectively turning him back into regular old Bruce Banner.  I would assume the same thing would happen in most other universes, if the Hulk were to merge with the symbiote.
 * However, while they were combined, I believe you are correct in assuming that their power would be increased. If you think about the symbiote itself, you'll find that it's strength is not limitless.  It is after all, just an alien being who happens to live off of a host instead of on its own.  With this in mind, I would believe that the Hulk's strength is only moderately increased by the symbiote, more so at lower levels, and less at higher power levels.  Think about it this way, the Symbiote is a being with physical limits, so more than likely, there are limits to how much it can add to anyone's strentgh.  One thing is inconsistent about the symbiote's strength, though.  I've always seen Venom as stronger than Peter with the Symbiote, but Peter's strength is already upgraded with his spider-bite.
 * Really, it's difficult to gauge any hero's level of strength without the official word from Marvel. Without an article on Venom/Hulk together, it's all just speculation anyway.  I think you're along the right lines of thinking, but it isn't known if the symbiote increases strength proportionally or by a standard increment, so it's difficult to really say what would happen if they stayed bonded, and it didn't cure Banner.

so, ur saying that if venom was on the fully powered hulk, there would be a time where the venom symbiote couldnt take anymore of hulk, and eventually, leave him for someone his(venom's) "size"

Anvillious 09:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * More like, the symbiote could always handle Hulk's size, but at some point, wouldn't be adding any strength to him, because he'd already be stronger than the symbiote could make anyone.

ok, one other thing, anti venom, is it like the venom symbiote..... meaning that since venom symbiote is a living entity (feelings, thoughts, pain, etc etc) is anti venom like that, or just a covering on top of brock, and underneath, its brock having full awarness, his actions, his moves, his own decisions... not the anti venom's ??


 * I don't think enough is known about the anti-venom symbiote just yet. As much as we've seen it in action, the details about it's appearance and full capabilities is still undetermined.  Personally, I believe it's another type of symbiote, possibly a spawn of the Venom symbiote, but that claim is so far just a theory. :)

Mystique battling X-Men
Who does Mystique shape-shift into when she is battling the X-Men?

augie35


 * It depends on how it suits her. I've personally seen her shift into the Hulk in the Mutant X universe, though she was on the X-Men there.  Most times I've seen her battle the X-Men, she stays as herself, or shifts into a civilian disguise so she can sneak away.

Triumph Division
how did the triumph division appeared in the comics? how did they disbanded? what's the entire story about them?Exquizith 08:24, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

I would not say that they disbanded. Check out our article on that topic. I have just updated it with a little more info. --M1shawhan 01:09, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Golden Gondolier
I remember a character who had gold skin and was dressed as a gondolier and flew around on a gondola but I can't find any information about him, can anyone help me?

The Vet 17:25, 18 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Cannot think of anyone offhand. It sounds like it may be a secondary story in something like Tales to Astonish or something along those lines. Any other clues or maybe even a rough timeframe of when you saw this or if it is definitely a Marvel character? I was able to find someone wearing a yellow outfit and driving a gondola in a Batman issue (DC Comics). See if this is him and if not, reply below with any more info. --M1shawhan 23:25, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it was a Marvel character, it was in the 80s. There was some sort of crab creature in the story as well.


 * That makes it sound still like it may have been a Tales to Astonish from that time frame (Tales to Astonish Vol 2.) The interesting thing is that series centers around Namor, which is one of the only heroes off the top of my head that made sense fighting both a gondolier and a crab-creature as well as would fit the time frame of when he was a more prominent character (had his own series right after the 80's.) I'll keep looking, but this one might be a stumper without more details. --M1shawhan 23:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, it just hit me, I assumed you meant a gondolier (as in Venetian oarsman), did you mean a gondola for a balloon? --M1shawhan 23:28, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Shhh....Deadpool
Urbanzo1148 23:48, 19 May 2009 (UTC)X-men Origins: Wolverine How Did Deadpool in the movie said Shhhhh.... When his mouth was sewn shut?Urbanzo1148 23:48, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe he was farting? :)
 * Artful Dodger 00:36, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * If you look closely, you'll see that he actually has a regular shaped mouth, instead of the sewn/healed one we first saw when he woke up. Some say that since the procedures were interrupted, parts of his powers, (including the shut mouth) didn't take, and went back to normal after a bit.  Others say that the healing factor knew that his mouth being shut wasn't correct, and corrected it for him.  Still others believe that the final 'easter egg' scene where he says, "Shhh" was filmed prior to the decision to close his mouth, and it was a simple filming mistake that wasn't corrected.
 * I suppose it all depends on what you want to believe. ;)

Green vs. Red
Who would win in a battle between the Red Hulk and Green Hulk? I say Green, because the Green Hulk's strength increase with anger (as does his durability) and if the Red Hulk emits gamma radiation as he gets madder the Green Hulk would absorb that making him even stronger. As the Green Hulk gets madder he gains an advantage and as the Red Hulk gets madder he gains a disadvantage.

The Hulkster 21:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * So far, it appears to be fairly even, at least what we've seen. With Red Hulk's ability to absorb the Hulk's gamma radiation, he's able to effectively weaken him, but if green Hulk's angry enough when the battle starts, he's shown he can take out his red counterpart.
 * --GrnMarvl14 22:11, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

But, even if The Red Hulk tried to absorb the Green Hulk's gamma radiation the Red is constantly emitting gamma radiation which the Green Hulk would aborb which cancels out whatever the Red Hulk absorbes and if the Red Hulk gets angry as he absorbes the Green Hulk's energy he woul emit more gamma radiation which would really cancel out whatever the Red Hulk tries to absorb from the Green Hulk. The Hulkster 02:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)


 * So that shows it's all still open for debate. I'm sure that as the Hype with the Red Hulk slows down, he'll be killed off, or banished, and eventually forgotten about, especially since Bruce Banner is such a mainstay in Marvel Comics.  No one can say who would win now, but I'll bet the Green Hulk will win out over time.
 * &mdash; Nathan (Peteparker) (Earth-1218) (talk &bull; contribs &bull; email) 19:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I think the Green Hulk will always win too, he has much more of an advantage over the Red Hulk, there is no way the Green Hulk would lose. Also, Jeph Loeb doesn't know much about the Marvel univerese anyway, he had the Red Hulk steal Thor's enchanted hammer (even in space it is IMPOSSIBLE to pick it up) and Rulk killed Terrax (who in reality Terrax is much more powerful and would have killed Rulk). Green Hulk will always easily smash Rulk I hope you all agree. Also, just for fun, how would World War Hulk would have fared against Red Hulk? The Hulkster 16:31, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
