UNLIMITED STRENGTH The answer; there isn't one. The amazing thing about the Hulk is that unlike nearly every other superhero ever created, the Hulk's strength has absolutely no upper limit. He can lift a commercial airplane – which weighs around 100 tons – when he is at his calmest; that's no problem for him.
The Incredible Hulk, on the other hand, has a very different relationship to strength than Superman. While the Hulk's “baseline” level of strength only allows him to lift about 70 tons – a meager amount compared to Superman's lifting power – that level can quickly change as he gets angry… and he's usually furious.
Yes, the Hulk, and almost any version of him at that, could bench press the weight of the earth if he was angry enough and sufficiently engaged in the task.
There is no reason to believe that Hulk could not perform that feat. However, to date, he has not lifted the Earth, and thus, we cannot state with any authority that he can. Only that, based on his powers, he should be able to lift that weight. What if Superman were the size of the Hulk?
The answer; there isn't one. The amazing thing about the Hulk is that unlike nearly every other superhero ever created, the Hulk's strength has absolutely no upper limit. He can lift a commercial airplane – which weighs around 100 tons – when he is at his calmest; that's no problem for him.
There's no question the Hulk is a near-indestructible force who comes out on top in almost all of his battles of pure strength. However, against Superman, he's outmatched. While Hulk's strength might rival that of the Man of Steel, Superman's other abilities give him a considerable edge against his opponent.
Yes he can, he not only welded DC'S version of Mjolnir but also Marvel's Mjolnir. While later on in the story he couldn't do it, it was later retconned in Jane's Mighty Thor run that Superman is worthy.
He has centuries of battle experience, the hones skills of a warrior, and one of the most powerful weapons in the universe. Putting it all together, Thor can win against the Hulk, even if he can't kill the Jade Giant.
This bout has a clear winner: Thanos. It is worth noting, Hulk and Thanos do not get a round two in Avengers: Endgame following Bruce Banner's transformation into Smart Hulk. With a combined union between Banner and the Hulk, the two might have been able to go another round with Thanos.
In Batman #655, Bruce is shown to be bench pressing over 1000 pounds during one of his regular workouts. In Batman Odyssey #2, Bruce mentions that his maximum leg press is 2500 pounds.
Like his namesake, Spider-Man's strength and agility stand far above those of the average human, allowing him to lift nearly 10 tons and to leap and move at incredible speeds with high accuracy. He also heals faster than normal when injured, though he is not completely immune to viruses and other human ailments.
All of these factors lead to Thanos being easily able to lift 100 tons, putting him in the same category as Thor, Hulk, and powerful celestial beings. Thanos is also skilled with hand-to-hand combat and was trained in the Art of War while on Titan.
Apocalypse. Apocalypse makes his way into this position on the list because he is technically stronger than the Hulk. He also has a multitude of other abilities, including telepathy, telekinesis, and shapeshifting.
Odin is Marvel's most powerful Skyfather, which is further confirmation that he is stronger than the Hulk when you take a look at the next entry on this list and what he is capable of against the Green Goliath.
Hulk goes up against Thanos in a fight but is defeated by the Mad Titan. Though it ultimately wasn't surprising that Thanos would beat Hulk, it was shocking to see the easy fashion that he did it in. It could even be assumed that Thanos used the Power Stone that he had.
Marvel fans know Spider-Man is a strong superhero, but it's now official: Peter Parker is strong enough to defeat the Incredible Hulk in a one-on-one brawl, with modern comics confirming that Spider-Man is even stronger and more invincible than his fans assume.
Between his ever-increasing strength, durability, and healing factor, Hulk has what it takes to survive Goku's most powerful assaults. Goku could stay out of Hulk's way for a while, but once he gets within the Hulk's grabbing range, the fight is over.
So, while Dragon Ball's Goku could lift Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, the same nobility and fighting spirit that make him worthy would likely mean he'd instead focus on pushing his limits and find a way to win without it.
If Marvel fans have ever wondered if Spider-Man was worthy of lifting Thor's hammer, the answer is yes. Just NOT the Spider-Man you think… Although he didn't really meet Thor beyond a couple shared scenes in Avenger's Endgame, Spider-Man has shown he's actually a big fan of the Thunder God.
As mighty as they are, neither Thanos nor Superman is immortal. Both have been killed in the past, meaning neither is unbeatable. However, Thanos would need an ironclad plan to trap and defeat the Man of Steel, because if it comes down to plain old fisticuffs, Superman is definitely going to win.
Oddly enough, Hulk might actually be able to hit Galactus hard enough that he notices that he's been hit. But that's about as far as the fight goes. Galactus would see him as nothing more than a little green annoyance to be flicked away like a gnat.
Of course, the Hulk himself is still far tougher and more durable than Venom. In a fair bout pitting strength against strength, the Hulk would have no trouble defeating Venom. However, it's been demonstrated that the Hulk has no ready defense against possession by the symbiote.
