Well, if you take battle field removal into account, then yes, it's a mismatch, but other than that, Nova would be hard pressed to win. At least through raw power. Frankly, I think it would unwise to fight this Hulk head to head.
I'm assuming this is Crossroads era Hulk. Is he past the Banner limitation? He starts weakening/dying when his separated from Banner too long IIRC.
Unless Nova has gotten a serious upgrade, I call bull.
Outside of dumping Hulk in a Stargate or something, Nova almost always goes in blasting, punching and/or using gravemetric pulses. Granted, his more likely to use his head after his brother showed him the potential of smart thinking but trapping Hulk using gravity would be a bad idea. He'd just get mad, break free, and Nova would be worse off.

How's about he stargate a mountain on top of Hulk? If a rookie Nova-man could hold down a Strontian with grav beams and Nova could stargate a Sphinx with two Ka Stones I wouldn't put it pass him to have the power to drop a mountain on Hulk's head.
If dropping a mountain was all you need to take out a Hulk when enraged, especially this one, he would have been much less trouble for Earth.
Like I said, using gravity to trap the Hulk would just be plain stupid. It's a classical the angrier he gets=the stronger he gets scene waiting to happen.
Been there done that. You wanna argue that the Hulk > the entire Nova Force? Not to mention he'd blow his face clean off before it even got to that point.

No one. Probably because if the bastard can tank a beating from Hercules, Simon, Namor, Iron Man, She-Hulk for an extended period while dying/weakining, a mountain isn't going to do anything but piss him off.
If that's what it ultimately comes down to in your book, sure, why not.
My stance is that from what I've seen, Nova simply doesn't have the power necessary to take this Hulk out.
And that's the beauty of Hulk's power set. If I had to guess which would hit a limit first, Nova's gravity based capabilities and Hulk's strength, I know which one I'd pick.
Edit: I gotta go.

Yeah that assembly of heroes barely koed Mindless Hulk and from what I can remember only a few werent koed themselves Herc had the chance to kill Hulk forever
None of whom has the raw power of Dick Rider. This ain't a comic book. Bottomline, from what I've seen of banners durability, Nova has enough power to reduce Banner to smoking bones. Of course, Banner would heal, but not before Nova could deliver the coup de grace if he had to. Or he could simply siphon off the gamma energy as its within his powerset to do so.

Are the Nova shades on so tight you view him as that far above regular Top Tiers? Nova isn't reducing Banner to smoking bones. Get the hell out with silliness. You need Trans level power etc. to entertain that option ignoring the odd exceptions like Thor.
