World Breaker and Devil Hulk
Black Adam has been punched by Superman, Wonder Woman, and Captain Marvel (Billy Batson). However, he’s never faced the Hulk. More specifically, he hasn’t gone up against World War Hulk or Devil Hulk. Two personalities that Adam can’t overcome.
Devil Hulk is merciless. Black Adam may be as well, but not like Devil Hulk. He’s willing to do things that Adam won’t. In Immortal Hulk No. 47, Hulk’s hand was knocked off his arm. He put Thor’s head in on the stub and it healed over his face. Black Adam has never fought someone with such disregard for themselves. Throughout Immortal Hulk, Hulk’s body was mutilated and sometimes he’d laugh at what happened. That’s not something anyone can plan for.
The angrier the Hulk gets, the stronger he gets and World War Hulk (or World Breaker) was never angrier. He fought the Avengers and won. Hulk took the power of a million exploding suns and kept fighting. He stomped so hard in New York that the tremor was felt in another state. If that Hulk goes up against Kahndaq’s king, Adam will lose badly. If multiple X-Men teams couldn’t do it, what chance does Black Adam have?
