4: Comic book nerds love to debate which superheroes would win in a fight. We’ll never know because, well they’re fictional. But in a typed in battle of search we can know.
Over the past three years, who has won consistently in the battle of search.
(A) Superman
(B) Spider-man
(C) The Hulk
Superman of course says Google. But interestingly Hulk with no “The” in front of it beats Spider-man consistently, but I figure there are many searches for pro wrestler Hulk Hogan that are giving our green friend the boost.
