"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That's just because he doesn't want to.

Or he's never been luxury liner angry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, but can Hulk punch a hole in the space time continuum?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

That was done back when she was in her ripped-hospital-gown-can-lift-40-tons phase. These days she's about as strong as Ben Grimm.
