A new Hulk comic series, Hulk: Smash Everything, has given the character a powerful new ability that could make him the strongest hero in the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars event. Despite a large number of heroes already confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday, Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner isn’t on the list. Ruffalo has stated he won’t be involved in the 2026 crossover, and the reason for his absence remains unclear, though some believe it’s connected to his role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. While the future of Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is uncertain, the comics are currently exploring storylines that could shape the character’s next on-screen appearance.
As a huge Marvel fan, I was blown away by the synopsis for the new Hulk: Smash Everything #4 comic! Apparently, Hulk is about to get pulled into a black hole, which will transform him into something called Cosmic Hulk. They’re saying this version is unbelievably powerful – so powerful, in fact, that he’s a threat to everyone, even the Avengers! It looks like the whole team will have to step in to try and stop him. It’s going to be epic!
Get ready for a cosmic showdown! While the Leader thought he’d gotten rid of Hulk by abandoning him in the past, Hulk was actually pulled into a black hole and transformed into something far more powerful: COSMIC HULK! Now unbelievably strong, he’s set to clash with Earth’s greatest heroes in an epic battle of unimaginable scale – it’s going to be a massive fight!

This new version of the Hulk is shaping up to be his strongest yet in Marvel Comics. The latest issue reveals he now has the power to destroy entire planets, and he’s even gone as far as breaking through the Earth’s core, proving just how incredibly dangerous he’s become.
The epic conclusion to Hulk’s story! All Hulk wants is peace and quiet, but his attempts to be left alone have led him to break through the Earth’s core. Now, with the planet crumbling from within, Hulk must decide if he’ll try to save it – literally carrying the world on his shoulders – or if complete destruction is the better option.

If Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk gains a powerful, cosmic upgrade, he could become the strongest Avenger in the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars movie. This enhanced version of the Hulk would be capable of destroying planets, exceeding the power of other incredibly strong characters from Avengers: Doomsday, such as Thor and Sentry.
According to entertainment news source Daniel Richtman, the Hulk is expected to have a significant part in the upcoming Secret Wars movie. Fans are curious to see just how strong he’ll be, especially considering his eventual battle with Doctor Doom, played by Robert Downey Jr. (You can find more details about a super-powered version of Hulk, called Infinity Hulk, featured in Marvel Zombies).

Why The Hulk’s New Power Is a Double-Edged Sword in Avengers: Secret Wars
The upcoming movie Avengers: Secret Wars heavily implies that Doctor Doom will defeat the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men in Avengers: Doomsday. This suggests his plan to reshape the Multiverse will succeed, ultimately leading to the widely speculated Battleworld storyline.
The Avengers face a huge challenge in fixing what’s happened and stopping Doctor Doom, so it’s logical they’d ask for Hulk’s help, even though he wasn’t involved in the recent crisis.
If the remaining heroes could somehow enhance Hulk, making him more like the incredibly powerful Cosmic Hulk from the comics, they might stand a chance against Doom – but there’s a problem.
Because Marvel previously portrayed Cosmic Hulk as a villain, Doctor Doom might be able to manipulate him and create even bigger problems. Plus, rumors suggest the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day storyline will revert Hulk to his more primal, unpredictable form, which could make him easier to corrupt and turn against the heroes.
No matter what happens, all the heroes must work together to stop another disaster by strengthening the Hulk’s ability to defeat Doom.
