Brute Forces

Rumor has it that a movie featuring Power Man (Luke Cage) and Iron FIst is on tap, to follow the new Daredevil flick, featuring Charlie Cox from Boardwalk Empire.  Finally! Another brute force on the big screen!

Once upon a time, Groot actually had a wide vocabulary, more than enough to do a monologue.  However, he discovered that it was easier to just say "I am Groot", and thereafter, continued to be a jolly old brute force.

So, who doesn't love seeing these two go at it hammer-and-tongs?

It appears that despite is pacifistic nature, the Silver Surfer can become a brute force when he wants to, as he did here when he went all MMA on the Abomination.

Classic brute forces in action!  The Golden Avenger Iron Man and the Thing (boxer shorts edition) versus the comic vampire of Thanos -- the Blood Brothers!

Cosmic brute forces at work.  Thanos demonstrating he is master of killing, even with his bare hands, while pre-Annihilation Drax the Destroyer beats a mystically empowered Champion into the ground.

Drax and Hulk taking on a brainwashed and fanatic Thor during the Infinity Crusade.

A couple of brute forces playing cosmic billiard with a supercharged Silver Surfer.

The mightiest mortal alive versus another Apokolips-born construct, an organic animate powered by Doctor Bedlam. Captain Marvel versus Macroman

The bone-crushing strength of Blockbuster versus the burning fury and might of Brimstone --  well, as Hulk-like as Blockbuster may be, he's still no match for the power of an Apokolips-born war construct.

The thunderclap, a brute force's best friend.

For as long as I can remember, when these two tussle, city blocks end up as rubble.  The Rhino taking out his aggression on Spider Man.

The Red Hulk applauding the efforts of some armored forces trying to subdue him.

Proof that Colossus is really a hipster: he was already overpowered before the term became mainstream (rimshot).  Colossus beating the daylights out of Red Hulk during the Avengers versus X-Men story arc.

A literal "clash of titans" if ever there was one in the Marvel Universe: Atlas versus the Growing Man.  Winner gets to be the bigger man.

The Mighty Thor hefting and heaving Surtur's Sword of Twilight.

How to become a brute force?  1) Be able to lift massive weights aloft 2) Stand higher than most others, even better if thousands of feet higher than others 3) Be able to reduce things to rubble, ash, or wreckage in one motion.  Ymir proving he is one of the mightiest brute forces around.
