I never understood this, can't hulk just rip people's heads from their shoulders, or does plot armor protect that
Mostly. Plot Shields, plot induced stupidity is all that pretty muchkeeps comics entertaining. If most high end comic book characters used their abilities to the fullest the story would last 3 panels.
Characters like Super Man, Thor, Silver Surfer, etc etc who have an assortment of powers really makes it hard for writers to find plausible threats for them to face. So basically the writers will have them conveniently forget to use powers or depower them all together. ie Thor just using lighting or punching really hard or silver surfer forgetting that he basically has the power to have any power he chooses.............
EDIT
Hulk's character is not a killer so he won't do it regardless if he can......
