10 Wrestlers and their superhero counterparts - Part 1

#2: Braun Strowman - The Hulk

It isn't really a stretch to compare Braun and the Incredible Hulk.

This is probably one of the easiest ones to peg. Both the Incredible Hulk and Braun Strowman are hulking beasts more than mere men. The Hulk can jump from mountain to mountain and survive falls out of aeroplanes.

He can also cause mini earthquakes if he smashes the ground and is often on the side of good when fighting the likes of Loki, Ultron, the Leader and Thanos. Braun Strowman is actually a human, so he cannot jump from one mountain to the next.

He also wouldn't survive a fall out of an aeroplane. But what he can do in the context of pro wrestling is certainly Hulk-like. He's lifted ambulances and cars alike while also pushing dumpsters and full stagings over. Both are brutish with their strength as Braun finishes opponents off with a power slam while the Hulk uses his fists to pummel enemies.

Both huge men could easily be seen as villains, and at various points in their lives, each has been a villain. Braun started out as an evil follower of Bray Wyatt. The Hulk is often considered a danger to humanity due to the damage he himself and his actions can cause.

His father-in-law, General Ross, considers him a menace. But both have been heroes for the most part, even when Braun was recently turned to a heel in order to feud with Roman Reigns.

He was quickly changed back in order to feud with Brock Lesnar. They both even have had little friends at one point in Rick Jones (Hulk) and Nicholas (Braun).

One big difference between the two, however, is that the Hulk often just wants to be left alone. Braun just wants viable competition and to win gold. He did win his only main roster gold with his little friend.
