Line 68:
* ''[[World War Hulk]]: X-Men'' is basically the Hulk handing one of these out to every X-Men team over the course of three issues. Until he runs into a fully powered Juggernaut, the most they can do is slow him down, and even then not for very long. Unfortunately, the Hulk was madder than he'd ever been before, which made him strong enough to stop [[The Juggernaut|the unstoppable Juggernaut]].
** The "Hulk vs." battles in the main title fit the description as well -- a [[Hope Spot|brief moment where it looks like someone might actually take Hulk out]], followed immediately by a brutal beatdown. Only the Sentry gave him anything close to a run for his money.
* Mr. X vs Quicksilver in the ''[[Dark Reign (Comic Bookcomics)|Siege]]'' finale. Mr. X (a [[Wolverine]] villain) discovers that his particular schtick - reading his opponent's mind so that he knows exactly what move said opponent is about to make - is completely useless against someone who can move at the speed of sound. He knows what Quicksilver is about to do - namely break every bone in his body with a chunk of metal debris - but he can't possibly react fast enough to prevent it.
** Even better - Mr. X was wielding Odin's Spear, which has been said to be as powerful as Thor's Mjolnir or even more. And he still lost.
** Mr. X actually gave one to Wolverine the first time they fought.
