The Incredible Hulk’s Greatest Feats

The Incredible Hulk’s greatest feats showcase his immense strength, durability, and resilience. Here are some of his most notable accomplishments from Marvel Comics:

Strength Feats

1. Holding Up a Mountain (Secret Wars)
   In Secret Wars #4, Hulk supported a mountain weighing approximately 150 billion tons to save the Avengers and other heroes. This feat is one of the most iconic demonstrations of his raw strength.
2. Shattering an Asteroid Twice the Size of Earth
   In Incredible Hulk #126, Hulk destroyed an asteroid with a single punch. This asteroid was explicitly stated to be twice the size of Earth, showcasing his planet-busting capabilities.
3. Overpowering Onslaught
   In the Onslaught Saga, Hulk, with Jean Grey suppressing Bruce Banner’s influence, unleashed his full rage and strength, punching Onslaught so hard that his armor shattered, which was key to defeating the villain.
4. Worldbreaker Hulk (Planet Hulk/World War Hulk)
   In his “Worldbreaker” state, Hulk’s strength became so immense that his footsteps caused planetary earthquakes and fissures. On Sakaar, he held the planet’s tectonic plates together, preventing its destruction.
5. Stopping the Juggernaut
   In Incredible Hulk #402, Hulk stopped the seemingly unstoppable Juggernaut in his tracks, showcasing that his strength could rival the magically powered villain.

Durability and Healing Feats

1. Surviving a Gamma Bomb Explosion
   Hulk’s origin involves surviving the detonation of a gamma bomb, which would have instantly killed any ordinary human. His body not only absorbed the radiation but transformed him into the Hulk.
2. Withstanding a Planetary Explosion
   In Planet Hulk, Hulk survived the destruction of Sakaar caused by the warp core detonation. He was thrown into space but emerged alive and furious.
3. Regeneration from Near Obliteration
   Hulk has regenerated from being nearly destroyed on multiple occasions, including situations where only fragments of his body remained.
4. Tank Punches from Celestials
   In fights against cosmic entities like the Celestials, Hulk has survived blows that could obliterate planets.

Speed and Combat Feats

1. Catching Quicksilver
   Despite being known for his strength, Hulk has moments of surprising speed. In Avengers Assemble #12, he caught Quicksilver mid-run, showing incredible reflexes.
2. Defeating Thor and the Avengers
   Hulk has defeated Thor multiple times in one-on-one combat and has taken down the Avengers collectively on several occasions, cementing his status as one of Marvel’s most formidable heroes.

Emotional Strength Feats

1. Resisting Mind Control
   In several stories, Hulk has resisted telepathic control and manipulation, showcasing his mental resilience. This includes resisting attempts by powerful telepaths like Professor X and the Leader.
2. Lifting Mjölnir (Under Special Circumstances)
   While not “worthy,” in Avengers Assemble #4, Hulk briefly lifted Thor’s hammer, Mjölnir, during a moment of rage and determination, demonstrating strength beyond normal limits.

Worldbreaker Hulk’s Ultimate Feats

• In World War Hulk, the Hulk in his Worldbreaker form caused devastation on Earth while holding back his full power. When he finally let loose, his energy and physical force nearly destroyed the planet.
• In Incredible Hulks #635, Worldbreaker Hulk destroyed a planet-sized threat called the Dark Dimension with a single punch.

Hulk’s greatest feats are often tied to his boundless rage, making him one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe. His strength, durability, and regenerative capabilities ensure that his potential is virtually limitless.
