10 Superpowers Hulk Still Hasn"t Used In The MCU 15 Years After His Debut
Summary
Like all characters the MCU adapts, the MCU Hulk has many key differences from his iterations in the comics. For as much screen time Bruce Banner has been able to secure as a founding member of The Avengers, showing up as a supporting character in a wide range of other properties, the legal issues around The Hulk that tied Marvel Studios up in releasing second solo film hamstrung the character's deeper development. The Hulk has a lot of strange powers in the comics beyond mere physical strength that would fit into the MCU with varying degrees of success, and more time with the character on-screen would be a great chance to explore them.

The mastery over mystic arts isn't usually the first thing audiences relate to Hulk. Yet magic being a key weakness of a character so physically invulnerable means that Hulk has had plenty of supernatural encounters over the years. In the comics, Hulk has demonstrated the ability to see ghosts and astral projections. This includes being aware of the spirit form of Doctor Strange, something no mortal man should be able to accomplish.
The explanation for Hulk's ability to see into the realm beyond stems from Bruce Banner's abusive late father, with Hulk's fear of encountering his father's ghost being strong enough to manifest the ability. In the MCU, the closest this ability has gotten to being explored is Professor Hulk's encounter with The Ancient One, who effortlessly separates Bruce Banner's spirit from his corporeal form. This would've been an interesting power to include upon Hulk's first encounter with Stephen Strange or other magic users, but unfortunately, the prime window to show off the ability seems to have already passed.
9 A Psychic Connection To His Origin Point![]()
In the Marvel films, Hulk's origin differs rather significantly from the source material. In the comics, Hulk is born when Bruce Banner finds himself in the testing range of an experimental gamma bomb, which bombards his body with a healthy dose of gamma radiation, creating Hulk. In the MCU, Bruce Banner is instead recruited in one of the universe's many attempts to replicate Captain America's super soldier serum, using gamma radiation on himself intentionally as an activation agent.
The Hulk is frequently depicted as having an innate mental connection to the site of the bomb test where the creature was born years ago. The mystical link between his mind and the location is the result of a future version of Bruce Banner, known as Maestro, dying there, guiding Hulk back to the location as a refuge after suffering major trauma. In the MCU, this would make no sense, and the dime-a-dozen lab in which Bruce Banner's powers were created is a less dramatic location to return to than a haunted crater in the New Mexico desert.
8 Limitless Stamina![]()
The MCU's Hulk is among the most powerful Avengers, but his strength and durability are given limits. In Avengers: Age Of Ultron, we see Black Widow taking advantage of his tired state after a raid on a HYDRA base, using a lullaby that puts the persona "to sleep" to slowly return control to Bruce Banner. He also tires out in his fight with Thanos, losing for the first time and suffering from an existential crisis as a result.
Conversely, the Hulk of Marvel Comics is a master of endurance, able to fight for days at a time, especially when truly enraged. The World War Hulk storyline tests this aspect of Hulk's power to it's limit, as the fearsome brute wages war against the planet as a one-man army. In the MCU, Hulk needs to be balanced against the relatively lower power levels of the universe's characters, leaving him still incredibly powerful, but limited in stamina.
