I know this version of the hulk is considered the most powerful but in the past they were time when he his strenght has reached insane level's which do you consider most powerful.These are what i remember if you know more list them.

War hulk: (Should be noted he was enhanced by apocalype's at the time)

Greatest achievement stopped the unstoppable juggernuat.


Savage hulk: (After jean blanked his mind and increased his rage to incredible level's)

Greatest achievement ripping unslaught's armor


Mindless hulk: (Separated from banner at the time)

Greatest achievement took on the Avenger's and the West Coast Avenger's at the same time and still held his own.


Banner hulk (during the secret wars)

Greatest Achievement held up a 150 billion ton mountain

Actually...that was "Banner Hulk."

To be even more pedantic, it was clearly pointed out in that Secret Wars issue that the Hulk was holding up just a small portion, and that they were inside a hollow blasted out by Iron Man as the mountain fell.

No small feat as to how many thousands of tons he was holding up. don't get me wrong, but I doubt it was more than a small fraction of "150 billion tons".

(And yes, it was Banner Hulk, which suffered from an inability to get very angry. This led to essentially getting beaten by Zaxx, until he used some trick to discharge Zaxx, whereas the other Hulk could, in fact, keep getting angrier and stronger until he could beat 'im.)

The best modern feats of the Hulk, I'd say (which discounts some early goofiness like "clapping away a galaxy-destroying blast" and "punching an asteroid 2x the size of the Earth") would be:

1. Crushing and cracking the admantium statue he was gonna slam on Thor.

2. Denting Ultron with a punch.

3. Smashing Onslaught, although that is partly retconned with a BS-ladem "he wanted that to happen!" :)

4. Taking out most of the Avengers, including a simultaneous assault by multiple bricks of Herc, Wonderman, Namor, Iron Man, and She-Hulk.

5. Bending and almost breaking Silver Surfer's board, and probably would have had SS not blasted him in the back to stop it.

What about Devil Hulk and Guilt Hulk?

Yep corrected :)

Of all the incarnations that could have been included in Secret wars it was this one :(

The Gray Hulk would have been an intresting addition,he would have made for some great character fristion and probably tempted to join the bad guys for a time too.

The Sal Buscema-era child-like Hulk, who is often mistakenly referred to as "savage."

Sal Buscema was solely responsible for me getting into the Hulk in the first place.

As to the above Maestro - he's technically a future incarnation and I feel he may top WWH gravage in nastiness, strength and cunning. Unsure though if Maestro will be THIS Hulk's future or he was an alternate timeline now 'cut off' from 616.

Guilt and Devil we really haven't seen outside Banners head. I don't think anyone in the MU knows they exist and certainly won't ever want to see them!

I still think Sal's Savage is the epitome of Strength - smashing the Celestial proof equipment, grabbing and breaking energy, Onslaught smashing and separating matter and anti matter... But y'know, deer distract him and stuff...

Unfortunately when it comes to the battles between the Hulk and Juggernaut there's always an asterisk. Armageddon (mispelling?) boosted the Hulk's already dynamic power. Their latest fight in WWH: XMen had another asterisk as Juggy (with his stupid a$$) didn't DEMAND to the Cytorrak gem that it RESTORES his powers...then take him to where the battle was before doing whatever the gem wants him to do (smash, destroy, kill). Juggy DESERVED to get smashed by the Hulk for that stupidity.

War Hulk stopped Juggs, and this Hulk is stronger than any other Hulk ever so . .

Apocalypse (I got his name wrong in my last post...my apologies) says that it is just as he suspected. He says that the “power of the Celestials… supercedes all but my own.” He says that the day of judgment is coming and that there will be global upheaval from which a new era will emerge. Apocalypse says that of all the X-Men’s non-mutant foes that the Juggernaut is most “puissant”. He says that he will be a valuable test of Celestial might. He says that he only really wanted to know if his power, and therefore by extension the Celestials’, could withstand his own. He says that he guesses that he is receiving his answer.

It should be noted that due to a cosmic anomaly War Hulk was a walking nexus point for multiple universes and not just a Hulk augmented by Apocalypse. As a tap for universal energies the only limit to War Hulk's power was how much it was physically possible for his body to withstand having channelled through it without being destroyed. Which would consequently mean the destruction of the Marvel universe.

Didn't Hulk become Captain Universe for a moment a couple of years back back? WWHulk may be "stronger than ever" but I think that means in terms of normal incarnations that were around for awhile. Not literally the strongest Hulk has ever been at any second of his life. I don't think they're implying WWHulk is more powerful than brief instances like War Hulk or Captain Universe Hulk.

Whether the Hulk is stronger than he's ever been.

World War Hulk should be at least as strong as the Savage Hulk at his all time best (I'm referring to Issue #270).

Yeah but as war when he was enhanced by apocalype's he was able to stop juggernaut a feat that even savage hulk never acomplished.Granted he never tried.

I don't know about that. Perhaps you're right. One thing is obvious....Maestro will ALWAYS have the advantage of spending a century or so of being the Hulk moreso than the Hulk in any incarnation.

Guilt and Devil we really haven't seen outside Banners head. I don't think anyone in the MU knows they exist and certainly won't ever want to see them!

I think they had their (brief) run.

I still think Sal's Savage is the epitome of Strength - smashing the Celestial proof equipment, grabbing and breaking energy, Onslaught smashing and separating matter and anti matter... But y'know, deer distract him and stuff.

My favorite Savage Hulk will ALWAYS and forever be the Sal Buscema drawn Hulk (Buscema and Chen were the best at distinguishing the Hulk in facial features: Childlike in the face when he smiled.....scary when he's angry).
