Hulk Vs Old One-Eye (Tyranids)
November 20, 2008 by admin
Here we have two tanks facing off against each other.
Both possess great ability to take damage as well as inflict some massive pain.
Who’s going to walk away from this match?

well the hulk takes blast from the likes of silver surfer and regenarate quickly so what can one-eye do?
SWEET!
First suggestion to go live, thanks admin.
Well, Hulk is pretty well known. Let me shed some light on this montrosity.
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/6/67/Oldoneeye.jpg
Old One-Eye is a Tyranid Carnifex from Warhammer 40,000. All Carnifex genomes are Monstrous Creatures that tower many feet over your average man. Their strength is easily comparable to that of Hulk and are able to rip through the strongest metal alloys in the 40k universe.
They also have an incredibly strong chittinous armor that is comparable in strength to Space Marine Dreadnoughts. Its is able to withstand an incredible amount of punishment.
Little is known about this particular Carnifex. It is beleived that Old One-Eye was a mutation experiment by the Hive Mind due to being the first Carnifex to have several traits that are a bit more commonly faced in battle now. There are many mutations of Carnifexes now, but Old One-Eye seems to have been designed for pure close combat.
The first unique characteristic is that of the giant claws. These massive pincers enhance the already supernatural strength Carnifexes have. They are able to make short work of absolutely any known material. I personally beleive these to be capable of ripping through Adamantium (as it is a component in many armours that are simply no match, such as Terminator Armour). These, above anything else, would be the main item to cause actual harm to the Hulk. Im confident that Old One-Eye possesses enought strength with these to amputate any limb of the Green Scar.
The second, and perhaps the most important, is the capacity to regenerate from utter doom. Old One-Eyes regeneration capabilities even surpass those of Wolverine, coming closer to the regeneration that Lobo is capable of. As long as a single cell survives, Old One-Eye will return.
The third, is simply scary in any scenario, not just this match. Old One-Eye seems to be able to call uppon the hive itself, calling down countless Tyranid monstrosities onto his possition.
Needless to say, this monster is one scary opponent to face in battle, but I think these two are evenly matched. I will let others digest this bit of info first.
This battle wold probably go on forever, both have titanic strength, incredible regeneration, and a pure animalistic mind driving them…
Seriously, this is tough….hmm
“Their strength is easily comparable to that of Hulk”
well i would like to see the toughest things he has ripped through.
I agree. These two are titans, and their fight would probably level entire sectors of a planet.
However, theres a few points that need to be taken into consideration for the actual match.
First, is Hulk’s ability to grow stronger as he gets angrier. We saw in WWH how he reacted when the truth was revealed to him. The very energy that was emanating from him was producing seismic activity of such magnitude that they feared his steps would crack the planet. As mighty as One-Eye is, he would be totally ground to a pulp…Which he would later regenerate.
Back to square one.
Second, it seems like One-eye’s regenerating abilities are somewhat negated by some types of energy outputs. It could very well be that Gama radiation be this sort of type. Sure, Hulk’s radiation levels are low, but seeing how Rulk is able to generate so much it is not farfetched to think Hulk might reach those levels if angry enough. The wonderful thing that lurks within banner still has countless mysteries.
Considering those two factors, I think Hulk would win. If those two factors dont play out as I hypothesize, I think the Green Scar has met his match.
Then theres the final element. If One-Eye feels it is close to oblivion, would he not call down the fury of the Hive onto Hulk? This I am certain Banner could not survive. No matter how amazing Hulk is.
Me - “Their strength is easily comparable to that of Hulk”
marche - “well i would like to see the toughest things he has ripped through.”
Well, I am basing this on the tabletop game where Carnifexes are known to easily rip through Terminator Armour (look on the Marneus Calgar vs Darth Vader discussion), any sort of vehicle in 40k (and we have established how advanced these are on other discussion), as well as other super-being in 40k like Greater Daemons, C’Tan, Avatar of Khaine, etc. All of which are god-like and gargantually strong.
Carnifexes are used by the Tyranid Hive Mind as his “Tanks” on the field. The Carnifex Crushing Claws further enhance their already titanic strength.
A portion of the discovery of Old One-Eye by the Imperium:
“Old One-Eye was a monstrous Carnifex mutation with gigantic pincers and a missing eye. The creature was found on Macragge centuries after Hive Fleet Behemoth was destroyed. Originally presumed dead, Old One Eye tore apart the ship transporting its body.”
And a portion of Imperial Navy Vessel’s armour construction:
“Every spacefaring vessel is equipped with a certain amount of armour, capable of deflecting impacts on the ships’ hull. The strength and thickness of the armour varies depending on the ship’s size and type - a tiny escort ship will have a ribbed outer hull maybe a foot thick or less, while an 8-kilometre-long Imperial battleship will have three separate, heavily reinforced adamantium hull layers, with a total thickness of dozens of metres. Common among all the ships of the Imperial Navy ranging from frigate to Battleship size is the armoured prow, which is massively reinforced and can be hundreds of metres thick on the largest ships as it is also used as a ram prow. It is capable of deflecting all but the most powerful of frontal hits.”
Now, I cannot find which sort of vessel was transporting One-Eye, but the fact still remains that the ship was tore appart. Very similar to what Hulk has done in the past.

Note the section for the Land Raider Armor:
“The armour of a Land Raider is second to none. It is thick enough to withstand several hits from the strongest weapons of the Imperial armoury as well as a good deal of that of various alien armies. There is also no advantage to attacking the rear of the vehicle.
Armour construction: 2 layers of Ceremite, 1 titanum/plasteel layer, 1 adamantium layer and 1 thermoplas layer, equivilent to 365mm conventional steel armour”
well the hulk has survived many things.
like storms attacks,the nova blast which is 1,000,000 degrees,Reflecting Gladiator’s eye-beams, stated to burn hotter than the heart of stars and many other feats.
he has also broken free from supermans grip,and threw the 20-ton dragon Fin Fang Foom to the moon.
and calling down the fury of the hive would be outside help,this is a 1v1 fight.
This fight could go on for some period of time, with each opponent simply tearing large chunks out of one another that they would soon replace.
The only feasible solution for victory would be attrition, which in this case would equal biomass. Both opponents, whilst tearing the almighty snot out of one another, would have to use existent mass in the sake of energy and molecular conversion in order to sustain themselves. The Hulk has this one covered simply through the use of his natural atomic conversion ability, that converts all matter in the immediate environment into biomass which he can then use to increase his current mass to almost ridiculous proportions, or regenerate lost limbs without a sudden depreciation in density.
As long as he manages to retain his famous temper, the Hulk could sustain himself.
Even a Tyranid needs to absorb some fissile material to continue functioning; and this could be supplied through either substances or chemical componds present in the environment, or even the Hulk himself.
As others have mentioned, this would be an Earth shattering, tectonic crippling battle royale which could last days, even weeks; but in terms of attrition, the Hulk has the advantage. Couple this with his ability to rapidly mutate and grow into larger, far more specialised forms depending on the scenario; and the scale certainly seems to slide towards the Hulk.
@marche - “and calling down the fury of the hive would be outside help,this is a 1v1 fight.”
Maybe, but that IS an ability that seems to be unique to Old One-Eye amongst not only Carnifex, but many other Synapse creatures. I thought it was worth considering.
Should that ability not be considered, then I agree with everything L-W stated in addition to the possible effects gama radiation may have on the Tyranid’s rapid regeneration (as I explained above).
I’m placing my bets on the Hulk.
perhaps but if all that was said about one eye was true than this would be a good fight.
@marche - “perhaps but if all that was said about one eye was true than this would be a good fight.”
Yes it would be massive. I’d love to see this animated. Imagine the Ultimate Avengers animation of Hulk going berzerk x100. Hell, the punch Hulk smacked on Giant Man’s kneecap would look like a pat on the head.
Im telling ya, limbs would fly…along with buildings.
I may have to go against the flow here, i once saw Old One Eye destroy over 1100 points worth of a blood angel army before it was brought down!!! (The bleeding thing comes back to life!)
Also, Hulk weighs in at 1040lb but Old One Eye weighs 8 or 9 tonnes and is 5.5m tall as compared to Hulks pathetic 7′
well wieght doesnt matter when you can sink an entire coast line with a step.
I’m, going to have to say Old one eye would win because I’ve played Tyranids for many years and old one eye has massive books dedicated to him.
“Maybe, but that IS an ability that seems to be unique to Old One-Eye amongst not only Carnifex, but many other Synapse creatures. I thought it was worth considering.”
Very true but Old one eyes Hive actually died off and Old one eye is by him self since he can never die I mean ever you can kill him for a little bit but he can come back to life if even a spec no matter the size he can regenerate from that granted it will take him a little bit to rebuild him self but he will come back.
Old one eye is also seen so much with other hives because since he is by him self he likes to party with other hives and if the hive mind likes it or not they can’t stop him because he can’t be converted in to bio so he can’t be eaten by the tyranids so he is no use to be killed.
And for the people going “I Thought Tyranids where mindless” True but some aren’t mindless like homa,warrior,Carnifex and Old One eye, and the ones with out mind will gain some once there hive mind dies.
Also One eye he has his own custom weapons granted there slow but if he gets a hold of you with his claws he will rip you down no matter the armor the creature has. Granted it would be a good fight but the hulk as soon as the planet gets destroyed by the raging power houses as far as I know the hulk can’t breath in space why one eye can just “Die” For a short period of time until he hits a plant, ship or spacehulk(dead ship usually infested with tyranids) yeah I’d like to say the hulk could win but old one eye can never die and if he is in danger he’ll just stay dead until he is safe to go again.
“well wieght doesnt matter when you can sink an entire coast line with a step.”
HAHAHAHA no, no it wouldn’t.
I was talking about when L-W said in a war of attrition Hulk would win
“I was talking about when L-W said in a war of attrition Hulk would win”
Did you take into consideration the rest of his statement? Hulk grows in size and strength as he gets angrier. As apparent by the WWH event (the one we are refering to sinking a coasline with a step), he also seems to grow in density.
This fact alone is what dictates L-W’s war of attrition scenario in favor of Hulk. I for one am forced to agree.
would the hulk survive if its head was ripped off?
i don’t think he can regen that but the chances of his head being ripped off is slim.
