In a world-shattering battle against Zeus, the Hulk's healing factor was tested like never before, as the powerful Marvel god made the Jade Giant look weak. In The Incredible Hulk #622 by Marvel Comics, Hulk took on the mighty God of Olympus and quickly discovered that not even his incredible healing factor could withstand the blows from the literal god in the Marvel Universe.
Hulk may be known for his strength and rage, but the hero's healing factor is one of his most impressive powers. For heroes and villains who have sent attacks powerful enough to pierce his incredible durability, Hulk's healing factor has allowed him to recover from the most serious, crippling injuries. For example, Hulk's regenerative helped him survive being cut into pieces and from being melted down to his bones. However, against Zeus, Hulk's healing factor was put to its ultimate test, as the Marvel god's true power was too much for the Jade Giant to match.
In The Incredible Hulk #622 by Greg Pak, Paul Pelletier, Danny Miki, Crimelab Studios, Paul Mounts, and Simon Bowland from Marvel Comics, the Hulk visits Zeus to help his friends following the events of the Chaos War. The Hulk, who helped Zeus against the Chaos King, goes to Mount Olympus to save the souls of his friends and help them find safety after the deadly battle. However, the Marvel God isn't impressed as Hulk demands help and wants something from him. The Olympian fights the Jade Giant, landing blows so powerful that the hero's healing factor can't keep up.
The Hulk's Healing Factor Was No Match For Zeus
While the Hulk's healing factor has been tested and succeeded in protecting him in some of his deadliest fights and confrontations, Zeus made the Jade Giant look weak while unleashing his god-tier powers. He punches Hulk so hard that he can't stop vomiting, as the Olympian shatters his rib cage and causes his lungs to collapse. Zeus ends up knocking out the Hulk and leaving him in rough shape, chaining him up to be picked on by giants vultures after his defeat. Hulk's healing factor keeps him alive, as Zeus shows some restraint by not killing him.
With Zeus represents a much more powerful opponent. The Olympian easily defeated the Hulk and tested his healing factor in their fight. While Hulk's powers kept the hero alive, it was pushed to its limits by Zeus, who proved he was even stronger than the Jade Giant.
