Friday Night Fights--Over The Top Style!!

Yeah, I've used Hulk before this bout of Friday Night Fights--sue me. Anyway, this is one of the odder Hulk battles, as he takes on his foe in comics' greatest crushing handshake battle!!

This time we're going a little farther in the Wayback Machine.

Leonard Samson, in his first appearance, has just managed to drain away all of the Hulk's gamma energy, permanently reverting him to Bruce Banner. But, like all comic book scientists, he's an idiot, and uses that same gamma energy to turn himself into...Doc Samson!! And then he tries to make time with Betty Ross!! The cad!!

So, of course, when the "permanent" de-Hulkification of Banner goes as well as it ever does...



So, yeah, it's on.





So now it's on...wrasslin' style!!


Now we're down to just one hand each...




Spoiler alert: he doesn't say it, but only because Betty interrupts.

Lesson--if you don't don't want your anatomy grossly contorted, don't shake hands with the Hulk!!

Just so you know, Spacebooger is trying to produce a remake of the greatest arm wrestling movie ever, Over The Top, with Hulk as the star!!

Roy Thomas, Herb Trimpe and John Severin show the Hulk defeating one of strongest dudes with just one hand in Marvel'sIncredible Hulk #141 (1971).

Now, you probably should hop over to Spacebooger's House Of Pain and vote for me this week...or Hulk might come around wanting to shake YOUR hand. You have been warned.
