Why The MCU's Hulk Will Probably Never Use One Iconic Superpower
The Incredible Hulk is one of Marvel’s strongest superheroes, but one power that shows off his true size and strength will in all likelihood never be featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – for a very good reason. While casual comic book readers know the Hulk as a simple, strong hero with few powers, he actually has a fair amount of different abilities that all stem from his sheer strength (much like the Flash has dozens of techniques that are all derived from his connection to the Speed Force). Unfortunately, Bruce Banner’s most notable power will never see the silver screen.
The Hulk has exhibited plenty of other powers besides his tremendous strength. His skin is impervious to many weapons; unless a projectile or blade is made out of an exotic material and/or not from this Earth, he won’t even suffer a scratch. His powerful legs allow the Hulk to jump for miles at a time (this is demonstrated in Ang Lee’s 2003 Hulk film, one of the few moments in which it did not deviate from the source material). But while the Hulk cannot control the weather like the X-Men’s Storm, he can create a massive rush of air through the power of his hands alone.

The “thunderclap maneuver” involves the Hulk spreading his arms wide before clapping his hands together in one swift movement. This allows him to blast air through buildings, extinguish fires, and even throw enemies off their feet and propel them backwards (this is also one of the only ways Hulk has access to long-range attacks in the comics). What began as a simple way for the Hulk to create noise with a clap (as seen in The Incredible Hulk #4) has evolved into a signature and devastating attack.
