7 of the Greatest Fights in Comic Book History

Comic book stories are incredibly diverse and unique, but most of them are generally about superheroes fighting bad guys, saving the world. Which is what we’ll be looking at today. I tried to avoid the obvious iconic fights like Superman/Doomsday or Cap/Iron Man, so maybe you’ll find something new here.

These are some of the greatest fights in comic book history!

1. World War Hulk vs The Sentry

After being sent to another planet, conquering it, and coming back to Earth, Hulk was pretty mad at Stark, Richards, and the rest of the Illuminati. The only being capable of stopping Worldbreaker Hulk at that time was the superhero Sentry — one of Marvel’s attempts to create a Superman-like character. Sentry was mentally unstable and couldn’t control his powers, but he had to stop the Hulk. During their epic brawl, the two titans have destroyed half a city with their powerful blows, but in the end, the Hulk, who turned back into Banner, had barely won.

2. Invincible vs Conquest

Invincible is one of the best superhero comics ever written, and this gory fight proves it. Viltrumites are trying to assimilate the planet and send their most powerful warrior, Conquest, to speed things up and teach Mark, aka Invincible, a valuable lesson about resisting. The fight starts with a few blows from the hero, but we quickly understand that uncle Conqueror is just toying with him. Limbs get broken, teeth and blood fly in every direction — it seems like Invincible can’t do anything. But then he runs his hand right through Mark’s girlfriend, Eve, and that’s where things change.

3. Captain America and Hydra Supreme

This one comes from the Secret Empire arc, where an evil doppelganger has replaced Cap (the one where Captain America said “Hail Hydra”). In issue #10, the real Steve Rogers comes back and starts kicking Hydra butts. His first enemy — Hydra Supreme, wearing a knock-off Iron Man armor and rocking Cap’s shield. After an exchange of blows, Hydra Supreme tries to pick up Mjolnir, but the enchantment doesn’t work. It comes the real Rogers, lifts the hammer with ease, and knocks the fool out with a smash!
