Hulk Vs Superman Who Would Win

Hulk
Unlimited Strength
All the incarnations of the Hulk, except for the Grey Hulk, can lift approximately 100 tons when calm. The Grey Hulk starts off at approximately 75 tons. As the familiar old adage goes, "the Madder the Hulk gets, the Stronger he gets." During times of high stress or anger, an increase in adrenaline causes the Hulk's strength to increase dramatically. There has never been a limit shown as to the highest strength the Hulk can reach thus it is assumed it is limitless. The Hulk has shown many incredible feats of the years, including holding up a 150 billion ton mountain during the Secret Wars and breaking open Onslaught armor when the combined might of the rest of the world's heroes couldn't even make a scratch in it.


Thunderclap
The Hulk can slam his hands together to create a large thunderclap-type concussive force. He has employed this for various reasons including creating a concussive blast to hurt enemies, to blow away gas or put out fires, or even deafen people.
Leaping/Jumping Ability
The Hulk's leg muscles are augmented so much that the Hulk can travel miles in a single causal jump. Jumping is the standard mode of transportation for the less intelligent incarnations of the Hulk. The Hulk has been known to make it into the earth's atmosphere on a single leap. Given the strength of the leap and the angle of trajectory when landing, the Hulk can create large craters and limited seismic activity when landing.
Accelerated Healing
The Hulk has probably the quickest healing factor than anyone in the Marvel Universe, including Wolverine. Wounds that would be deadly to most other heroes takes just a short time for the Hulk to recover. During a battle with Vector, he repelled all of the skin off of the Hulk leaving just exposed flesh and muscle. It took the Hulk minutes to regain the mass and be completely healed. During a battle with Speedfreek, he cut the Hulk's stomach open with adamantium blades. The Hulk had to hold his stomach to prevent his insides from spilling out. Within minutes the wound had healed, but unfortunately the skin had healed around part of the Hulk's fingers. He had to rip his fingers out of his stomach and allow it to heal again. It should be noted that during the transformation from Bruce Banner to one of the various incarnations of the Hulk and back, he gains and loses large amounts of mass. The source of this mass is unknown. The amount of mass transferred is dependent on the incarnation, such as the Grey Hulk has much less mass than most of the other incarnation.
The Hulk is immune to all known Earth-based diseases, including AIDS. He can operate under intense conditions for extended periods of time due to his body not developing fatigue toxins quickly.
Dynamic Durability
It has been stated that the Hulk possess a dynamic durability in relation to his increase in anger. Similar to how the Hulk gets stronger as he gets angrier, he also heal quicker and his skin becomes tougher. It is not known if the increase in healing and skin-toughening is related to Incarnation
.
Breathing Underwater
The Hulk has been seen on the ocean floor a number of times and is able to breathe due to his body developing a gland which creates an oxygenated perfluorocarbon emulsion which fills his lungs and equalizes the pressure. He is therefore able to breathe fluid and avoid decompression and nitrogen narcosis.


Resistance to Mind Control
The Hulk has always shown an ability to resist mind control. This is probably due to the fact that there are multiple personalities residing in the Hulk's mind and a person can not control all of them at once as they offer resistance.


Unusual Mental Abilities
Bruce was always afraid of his father and when he accidently killed him, he blocked the incident in his mind. He still had a fear that his father would come back to get him so when Bruce turned into the Hulk, he gave himself the ability to see ghosts so that he could see his father coming for him. This ability has also allowed him to see Dr. Strange's astral form while others can't. Another mental ability related to this is the fact that no matter where the Hulk is in the world, he can always instinctively find his way back to the site of the original Gamma Bomb explosion in the desert. This was discovered to be caused by the spirit of the Maestro's remains calling the Hulk back so that he could absorb gamma radiation and reform.


High Resistance/High Durability
The high tensile strength of the Hulk's skin allows him protection from most modern artillery such as bullets, grenades, shells, and rockets. He can withstand concussive blasts, impacts from super-powered villians, and extreme high and low temperatures. He was once deep frozen by Ice Man for an extended period of time with no ill effects. He has withstood the vacuum of deep space a multitude of times along with the huge pressure of the ocean floor.


Superman possesses the powers of flight, superhuman strength, x-ray vision, heat vision, cold breath, super-speed, enhanced hearing, and nigh-invulnerability. While Superman is immensely strong both in terms of muscle power and ability to take physical punishment, he is not all-powerful.


Hulk Or Superman Use Choose ?
But I think Hulk Would kick his but!!!!

The Big Game

The Big Game By Sue Gibbison

The article is about the big rugby game where the famous rugby players come and play a rugby game in Karla’s town.The captain of the team was Shane. It is also about the Mum and the children going to  the big game even though all of them played soccer.The characters in this article are Karla, Mum, Shane and his rugby team,  the children and the audience.

The scenes in this article are set   at the park in town.  I liked this article because it is a really creative article and  Shane’s team won the game. I also liked this article because the boy in the article is a soccer player  and he changes his mind about what he wants to do when he grows up and he decided that  he would play rugby when he grew up.

The Sun and Other Inventions By Simon Cooke

                             Story Review
   
The Sun and Other Inventions  By Simon Cooke

The article is about an exhibition that Grandpa Sid went to. He claimed loudly about that he had created the sun so that the people would hear him. He said that it was a while back before the whole world was pitch black and  the President of the world came to see him.

Grandpa Sid was a famous scientist. The characters in the article  are the Scientists, Emma and Grandpa. I like this article because it was  interesting  to learn how Grandpa Sid  made the sun and the moon.

The Blue Whales





The Blue Whales


A whale is a cold blooded sea creature. It is very big.


Their length equals the length of two school buses and their weight equals the weight of 30 adult elephants. Blue Whales sleep while swimming. They use only half of their brain while sleeping.


Blue Whales are the largest animals on the planet.Scientists believe that whales can hear songs even if they are 1000 miles away from each other. Scientists noticed that sometimes Blue Whales mate with Fin Whales.


Blue Whales use 2 half of their brain to swim while sleeping. They also can eat over 100 humans per meal but instead they'd rather eat little fish. Blue Whales are very old and they have been on earth for over 54 million years.


Some people believe that Blue Whales evolved from hippopotamus to a Blue whale. Blue Whales have the weight of 30 adult elephants. Blue Whales breath with their lungs. They have a huge hole on the top of their back so that their baby can crawl through it to keep it’s baby safe and sound.


Blue Whales are fascinating to watch and they are enormous.

The Water Cycle

The Water Cycle  The water cycle diagram


1.Heat from the Sun causes water on Earth (in oceans, lakes etc) to evaporate (turn from liquid into gas) and rise into the sky.
2.This water vapor collects in the sky in the form of clouds.
3.Only about 3% of the water on Earth is freshwater or water that we can drink.
4.About 70% of the earth is covered with water.
5.Groundwater or water stored in the Earth's surface can remain there for thousands of years before moving.
6.Really old water underground is called fossil water.
7.When water evaporates into the atmosphere, it cools and condenses to form clouds through a process called condensation.
8.Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid waterc
9.Evapotranspiration is part of the water cycle, in which the water on Earth moves through a series of states and steps in an endless cycle.
10.Precipitation is water in either solid or liquid form that falls from Earth’s atmosphere.
11.Evaporation is a process where drying or vaporization of a liquid occurs.
12.Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil. Infiltration rate in soil science is a measure of the rate at which soil is able to absorb rainfall irrigation.

Marine Protected Areas

     Marine Protected Areas
  • The main aim of a marine reserve is to create an area largely free of human impacts, providing a useful comparison for scientists to study.
  • Marine Management bill was drafted for the protection and sustainable use of the Kaikoura marine environment.
  • The marine reserves of Fiordland are grouped together in an overarching. The Marine reserves act was passed in 1971.
  • Marine reserves may be established in areas that contain underwater scenery. Marine reserves currently provide the highest level of marine protection
  • These prevent all marine-based activities that may threaten undersea cables or pipelines.
