Superman being "especially vulnerable to magic" was propagated by the laziness of DC's writers and editors. It was used as an easy way to take Superman out of a given fray, as though the mere presence of supernatural or magical energies would weaken him or diminish his powers, but these same forces wouldn't affect the Almighty Batman in the least. It never made sense to me to begin with, especially with DC perpetually lauding Batman as only being peak human and non-meta at every opportunity.

What with gender identification, non-binary designation "rules", and pansexual acceptance, shouldn't Jon's codename be "Supernonbirthingperson"? Hmmm. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it?

Clark Kent/Kal-El was Superman. Clark Kent/Kal-El is STILL Superman. He always has been. He always will be. End of story.

In my humble opinion, the Marvel character/X-Man who doesn't get the respect or consideration that he deserves is Colossus. He has been treated fairly decently in the Deadpool movies, but he's also played mostly for laughs.

In Marvel Comics, it's even worse. Colossus is supposed to be a heavy hitter; someone who possesses Class 100 strength, a high degree of invulnerability and durability, and who knows how to fight, having been trained personally by Wolverine and Cyclops. Pick up almost any issue of any X-Man related comic, and whom is almost always among the first characters knocked out of the fray? Colossus. He usually makes the least contribution to the team's successes or victories, while far less physically powerful or formidable characters get the spotlight.

Then, there's this relatively new trend where he's the gentle giant and the good guy's good guy in one moment, and then he's turned villain. Then he's a good guy again. Then he's not.

Is.

Isn't.

Is.

Isn't.

Isn't.

It's getting to be ridiculous. Is.

The Hulk's ability to withstand punishment and shrug off crippling pain is nothing new. He has been astounding foes, friends, and rivals with this sort of durability for decades. There was a time when Wolverine's adamantum claws couldn't even scratch his skin, let alone lacerate it.

Although Marvel has showcased the Hulk's prodigious strength and unbelievable durability it is his refusal to accept defeat that enables him to carry on in a fight where others might falter. He doesn't have enchanted weapons, hi-tech gadgets, or flashy energy powers. He has histoirically been represented with a stunted intellect. But his determination to carry on and fight no matter what's been done to him has almost always matched, or exceeded, his level of strength. He simply refuses to be beaten, and so he shrugs off unbelievable amounts of punishment and pain. Sometimes, that is all that he has to fall back on, whereas Thor has generally had Mjolnir and certain magic-based powers to call on in situations where brute strength alone may not suffice.

The Thing is "marginally above" Blade?

"Marginally"?

He's "only" about 100 times as strong, much more durable, and one of Marvel's better, most experienced battlers. Greater than any of those attributes is his dedication to his teammates. Ben Grimm understands his role and place as a team player, and when you couple that with his courage, determination, and strength of will, you couldn't ask for a better comrade and teammate.

Would he last long one-on-one in a pitched battle against Thanos?

Nope.

Would he unhesitatingly take that fight on, knowing that he would lose, if it furthered the cause?

Hell yes, he would.

The Thing understands teamwork, his role on a given team, and the meaning of sacrifice. He might not be a match for Thanos, but he would be an invaluable asset as part of a coordinated offensive or counter-offensive against Thanos's forces. In the Marvel/DC Avengers/JLA crossover, Batman met the Thing, and he asked Captain America about Ben Grimm. Captain America described Grimm as the bravest, most dependable man he's ever known. High praise, indeed.
