The main issue with hulk is the unstunnability, combined with sanic drugs/viruses or armor, makes hulks unstoppable killing machines. They can't be stunned, they can't be hurt, they can't be slowed down. They can be slowed down, from stamina damage They can be hurt, by lasers, very easily They can ...
