    Well, egomania is a turn-off.

    Also, Quin is spot on with why Cap is amazing. He can wield bloody Mjolnir.

    edit: Huxley is a jerk

    I've read many a comic and I can't think of any where the Hulk has been stated or shown to have a specific vulnerability to magic. Note that not being able to lift Mjolnir and being hit by really powerful magical spells that would deck any super powered individual don't really count as being weak to magic any more than Cap being caught in a nuclear blast would be a weakness to radiation.

    Hawkeye hasn't been given due development. They should have had Natasha brainwashed by Loki. We already got time with her in Iron Man 2. Hawkeye only showed up for like three seconds in Thor. They even added that ridiculously superfluous "interrogation" scene between Nat and Loki. Worthless. Fun to watch the actors in character, but a worthless scene nonetheless. Hell, the "interrogation" when she is first called in was worthless too.

    I prefer Cap the way he is in the movies. He may seem whiny when compared to his comic counterpart, but he is easier to relate to on a human level. Just be happy, they didn't cast Shia Lebouf to play him. There's a level of whiny we don't need to see in Cap.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    Natasha played a better role than Hawkeye could have. Having her brainwashed would force a team of dude heroes have to come rescue her in the classic damsel in distress scenario that the rest of the world is trying to move away from.

    Natasha Romanov does not get rescued; she rescues you.

    Wow. I don't see why being susceptible to magic doesn't count as being weak to magic. Huge *facepalm* Considering magic is the only thing that can really effect him, I'd say yes, that does count.

    Read moar comics. Googling doesn't count.

    Humans do have a weakness to radiation. Superman's ability to withstand radiation isn't his specific superpower. Being susceptible to radiation is merely mankind's weakness. Not saying there aren't specific types of radiation that can hurt Superman or other aliens and creatures, but humans are so far the only ones who are susceptible to EVERY KIND OF RADIATION. That is a specific weakness. So for Hulk to feel any effect at all from magic, in due consideration of his otherwise invulnerable state, would translate to a weakness to magic as it is the most suitable weapon to be utilized in attempt to subdue him.

    Ahem. Classically, that damsel in distress isn't trying to kill you. Unlike some, I'm not afraid to put a female character in a position where it appears she has to be rescued just because it might come off like some typical Arthurian romance. I think Natashya would have continued to prove herself an interesting character even while under the control of Loki's scepter.

    Hulk has been shown to be susceptible to matter-manipulating magic. Also, a relative weakness is still a weakness. He's resistant to direct dark magics, though. i.e. Hulk's weakness to magic is not a weakness like Superman's weakness to magic.

    It also depends on at how you want to classify stuff like the OdinForce, Zeus's lightning, the power cosmic, etc, because some of those things can get through his defenses.

    Regardless, Hulk's real weakness is the greatest of all weaknesses.

    The Hulk's true weakness is solo movies.

    No, Natasha doesn't get brainwashed.

    She was able to fool Loki - the trickster. If that isn't badassery I don't know what is.
