Why these matchups go this way

A second opinion written by AI from each hero's kit (shown separately from the main matrix, so it may not match it exactly).

🟢 Hulk beats easily

Black Cat His heavy crowd control catches a melee flanker before she can finish her assassination combo.
Iron Fist Same problem: with no room to maneuver, Hulk's crowd control wins the melee trade.
The Hood His raw brawling and crowd control beat The Hood's mixed dive and shield in a straight fight.

🔴 Hulk struggles against

Hawkeye His range punishes him constantly, and Hulk's limited mobility can't close the gap.
Hela Anti-heal shuts off his melee sustain right when he needs it most in the fight.
Storm Aerial and area pressure wears him down from a zone he can't easily reach.
