*This is a best of 3 fight, with the first round taking place in Hell, the second in the New Mexican desert, and the final round (if neccessary) will be in a neutral battlefield ala Final Destination.
*Current power levels of the combatants are: Gladiator Hulk as of World War Hulk and Hell difficulty Diablo as of Diablo II.
*NO ALLIES-Both fighters are lone wolfing it, no Lesser/Greater Evils and no Avengers/Warbound. (I noticed some other fights were adding teammates)
Go! Go! Go!
Really - Diablo doesn't stand a chance. Hulk will just get angrier and angrier until he either rips Diablo apart with his bare hands, or gets so angry he wraps around to wuss and turns into Bill Bixby
The Diablo from the first game is a very different fight than in the second game.
Diablo I: My money would be on the Hulk. The Youngest Prime Evil is simply too squishy to stand up to Mr. Green for very long, and has no special tricks to save his butt.
Diablo II: This would be a much closer fight. Diablo's red Lightning Breath and devastating Fire Nova would be highly detrimental to anyone's health, no matter how big, green, and radioactive they are. The teleporting, I think, would be the biggest advantage for our giant abyssal antagonist, since although The Hulkster is quick on his feet, he could have a tough time keeping up with instantaneous translocation.
I have a feeling that the red lightning of DOOM would be very detrimental to the Jade Giant, it literally rends your soul apart.
However, the Hulk has been shown to be able to stand up (and overcome) most magical and psionic opponents through sheer strength and willpower, he's like the poster-boy for melee characters :D
if this is Diablo pre-soulstone being destroyed... victory Diablo. he keeps coming back until Hulk cannot take it anymore, or worse... he takes over the Hulk like he did with the hero at the end of D1. at this point Diablo wins. period.
if this is post-soulstone being destroyed, Hulk wins.
the bone cages should be a VERY minor speedbump for hulk at best.
the red lighting can be a pain but is very "run away able" and it leaves Big D open for attacks of the "imma hurling some rubble/dumpster/ect..." kind.
his fire spells (nova, wall & storm) can be pretty brutal, but like the lightning, they are "run away able" (or in the nova's case, "hide-behind-stuff able").
remember that this is World War Hulk. this is a smart Hulk, not a big dumb brute. once he learns that most of Diablo's abilities can be avoided by a quick dash and that they leave him a sitting duck, Diablo is in trouble.
The Diablo Clone or Uber Diablo, however, wipe the floor with any version of Hulk short of Red Hulk. Mostly, it's down Diablo's side. If he's at his strongest, he wins, otherwise he'll lose in a spectacular fashion.
I'm sorry, I dont know one Hulk from another. Thus I'll have to leave the divination of the Hulks tactical planning skills to others whom are more knowledgable on the the subject.
Hulk might have a problem with that, as would we all.
Does it count as a win if you destroy the body but are still possessed?
Hulk might have a problem with that, as would we all.
That is indeed Diablo's and his brothers' greatest strength. It's so hard to make sure they stay dead.
Anyway, if we are talking World War Hulk and the Lord of Hatred... both these guys got some serious armies going on. Both are powerhouses and all but to take their minions out of the mix kind of dumbs things down
Also, I think the Diablo from the first game was way harder than the 2nd one. Not just because of all the minions, but didn't he have apocalypse? That was a killer spell, didn't it go through walls?
What about Uber Diablo from Uber Tristram?
Hulk Smash!
Well, im going to work off a diffrent premise. Diablo 1 diablo. Hulk kills him, and Bruce Banner begins wandering the country side, as he often does. Trajedy follows in his wake, even more than usuall. Before long his thoughts turn darker, and his temper gets harder and harder to controll. Bruce loses the second fight, as diablo slowly takes over his soul. The Diablo-Hulk proves too powerfull for all the champions of the mortal realm. He slays his brother Baal, and rips a hole into the mortal realm unleashing demons upon the earth in mass before destroying mount arreat single handedly in a fit of rage.
It would never even get to that point. Ditka woulkd tear a couple of new ones into the Hulk and then Da Coach would banish him to the center of his mansion, never to be set loose again.
TheSeventhStooge...

Nah, Da Coach would let him out occasionally. Da Fridge needs a playmate, after all.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Somehow, that makes me feel good about myself.

I'm not sure, but I think it may have something to do with bears.
Also, who would win, Wirt or The Hulk?
you find him dead in diablo 2, in the town of tristram (where the original game took place). he has a wooden leg that you get as a weapon once you find his corpse... and use as a transmutation component to the Secret Cow Level.
Uh, Hulk wins. Why? Because Hulk is the good guy and Diablo is the bad guy, and both the Hulk comics and the Diablo games follow the ol' fashioned "good triumphs over evil" motif.
Of course, then Blizzard makes another Diablo game and it's revealed that Diablo is somehow back and better then ever, with Hulk either killed offscreen or something else horrible happening to him.
And then Joe Quesada does a stupidly big crossover even in which Hulk is saved, but screws with all the actually interesting plotlines running at the time.
And then Blizzard doesnt' release a new game for a decade.
... I think that, with all that considered, the end result is that the readers and players lose.
Hulk smashes Diablo. He win, eventually, because he never ****ing looses (God Mode much Hulk?) Bruce Banner stagers out of the wreckage and escapes back out onto the streets. Because he never can be held. (God Mode much Dr. Banner?) He starts having nightmares, waking up in strange places, surrounded by wreckage, you know, more often than he's used too. He begins having dark thoughts while he is awake, and starts to experience physical cahnges. Mabey he thinks this is a new manifestation of his condition, or mabey he recogonizes it as somethig more, something diffrent. Either way, it dosn;t matter. The change continues and soon, he dosnt want it to stop. He's no longer himself. He's someone else, something else. He is Diablo. And should he ever get mad, hes Diablo-Hulk. And the world does not need that. So never, ever, let the Hulk fight Diablo. No.
Diablo's comeback is too bad ass to be hand waived as "somehow". Perhapes you are not aware of it, but it serves as the basis for my point so I shall eleaborate.

Unless I am mistaken there are some storylines where Hulk doesn't change back into Bannor. He is Hulk and genius scientist at the same time. I believe such is the case for World War Hulk which is the Hulk being used by the OP. I think. I could be wrong on this.
So, I am not sure about the Banner weakness in this case...
Nah, Da Coach would let him out occasionally. Da Fridge needs a playmate, after all.
I don't know about that. Da Fridge might hurt Hulk, after all.
TheSeventhStoogee...
Is this Mindless Green Hulk (Hulk wins!) or some other Hulk (not enough information to determine victor)?
Now if it were Abraham Lincoln vs. Diablo...
You never win by killing diablo.
That's why we have the Spice Girls. Music so vile we can corner the evil *******.
Diablo probably then possesses him, or whatever, and then punches his way into the Marvel universe, where everybody dies.
you can win and delay him, but that just means you gave him a more powerful host so he can continue or start anew. he always comes back, bigger and badder then the last time.
really, the sheer hopelessness of fighting diablo is a terror onto itself.
Also, Diablo is at Nightmare level strength.
I've rethought my previous thoughts on the matter.
Whenever the Hulk fights Superman, the Man of Steel knocks out our jolly green friend before he gets strong enough to do more than bloody up our flying x-ray visioned protagonist.
So I would have to say, that Diablo would use his Chaos Lightning attack and fry the Hulk in the first round. However, the Hulk has proven to be quite resilient to damage.
Diablo would seek to expand his power and somehow cross over into the Marvel Universe where by happy coincidence he finds himself in the New Mexico desert.
Hulk would remember the lightning attack and so would choose to keep his distance and throw mountain sized boulders at the Lord of Terror until the Lord of Terror was trapped beneath them.
Then in the final round, Diablo would send his telepathy out from his tomb and lure our jolly green hero back into the labrinthine rocky tomb. Hulk would find Diablo's apparently lifeless body.
Dr. Banner would know that the soul stone needs to be destroyed but since Hulk doesn't have the Hellforge or the Hammer the Hulk would jam the soul stone into his forehead and from here on I am in complete agreement with ToastedAmphibian.
Now, if Diablo-Hulk gets into Earth 616 then he's screwed, because then he falls under the narrative conventions of that Earth which means that sooner or later some heroes are going to beat him up and exorcise him so the Hulk can go back to being the Hulk (he has his own comic line after all, they can't permanently change him that much). If he's lucky Diablo will get to go into someone else and will stick around for a while and maybe even get his own character, but more then likely some sort of Deus Ex Machina (possibly provided by Richards, Stark, Xavier, or Dr. Strange) will utterly depower him as far as Marvel is concerned, possibly with him going back to his own universe with his tail between his legs.
So here's to hoping it's not 616 Hulk, but from one of the parallel universes no one cares about that doesn't have to live by status quo.
Diablo wins. ALWAYS.
Good, I think everyone is in agreement. They both win. Win-Win situation in the purest sense. Everyone gets what they want. Hulk gets to smash a demon, demon gets a new Hulk body, and both get to go on a destructive rampage at the end. Smiles all around.
except for Banner. i don't think he's allowed a smile, at least not a happy one.

Who? No, seriously. **** that guy.
`Nuff Said
Don't think Dibalo has the power to control the Hulk no mater how long it is after the fight. Course it really just depends on who writes the story, my version Hulk owns.
Wait a minute. In OP it was stated that Diablo was Hell Difficulty and now he's only Nightmare Strength.

my bad i forgot hell was tougher than nightmare
For the actual fight (the only thing that counts, not who continues to exist after the fight or not) WWH Hulk would win. This is primarily because he was on God Mode for that entire ****ing storyline, except for the very, very end. Talk about a pile of crap story idea: "Hey, lets have the Hulk pop into every Marvel book in existance as a guest star and beats EVERYBODY up. Fist pound, guys! Oh yeah!"
To be fair, after Civil War some good ol' fashioned "HULK SMASH EVERYTHING" was really refreshing. Sometimes a bit of mindless crossover violence can be nice.

If it was just a bit, sure. It took almost as long as Civil War to get going and end, though, too long for such a simple story.
my bad i forgot hell was tougher than nightmare
Not a problem.
Forgember did bring up a good point though. Perhaps Diablo would not be able to possess the Hulk. After all, when Diablo tried to possess King Leoric the Lord of Terror was unable to do so and so drove the king insane.
Still, a Hulk that is driven insane is still a major problem for the world at large. Sooooo, Diablo still wins.
Hulk = Lame
Diablo = Game that inspired other RPGs that inspired WoW, so I guess the whole devil thing is right.
FACTS!
Anyway I will be glad to post on a cooler VS match.
Ghandi would show up famished for the fight, and maybe pass out. Which bye default would crown Mother Teresa the victor.
Go go Gandhi vs. Mother Theresa?
why is it all i can think of is a fight between Dalshim VS Bridget, Old and Wrinkly edition?
the paramedics are on standby and more scared of cardiac arrest or a slip and a broken hip then actual combat wounds.
Go go Gandhi vs. Mother Theresa?
Gandhi. It has already been proven that he's her "Diaper Daddy."
