Sal Buscema Punch #8

So let's get back into some good old fashioned Hulk style punching. So we have this story in Hulk #211 where this old wizard dude (named, I shit you not "Maha Yogi") is holding gladiatorial matches, mostly just to get his jollies.

Doctor Druid was involved in all this, but honestly, no one gives a crap about him. The important part is that the Hulk jumped up into the stands and smashed Maha Yogi's special magical gem, making him instantly age to like  a million years old.

Mongu tried to stop the Hulk, but well...

The lesson in all this is very clear: Don't punch Bruce Banner.
