The Hulk's Sakaar saving feat certainly comes to mind as equally as impressive. After all he was able to lift far more than the Earths weight by overpowering the explosion that would have ripped the planet apart.
Hyperion's latest feat comes to mind as well, and in my opinion lays Superman's bench pressing feat straight down on it's face and takes a giant sh1t on it.
It's not so much that Superman was able to bench the weight of the Earth, but rather that he was able to do so for five days straight while deprived of solar radiation. It's as much an endurance/durability feat as it is a strength feat.
Agreed, as one poster mentioned green skaar's feat of stopping a planet tearing explosion, Hulks strength was on the increase to do that while Supes was being deprived of strength giving sun light, so I still say that Supes feat tops Hulks.
Hulk only manipulated the tectonic plates of skaar which were falling apart. In hyperion's care, it was apparently not strength at all as he wasn't touching the planets.
I think the intention was clear but that's just me. Either way, it's one ridiculous showing. The incursion points were the contact points for each respective Universe.
Mind you, I'm not saying that Hyperion had to literally be touching the planets. Just like when Steve used the Infinity Gauntlet, he wasn't directly touching the planet, there seems to be some kind of separation between the two Universes: http://s593.photobucket.com/user/Ma...8e2679.jpg.html
Who knows? Hickman indicated its not a pure strength feat either. I'm not denying its ridiculousness but comparing IG not touching planets to hyperion not touching planets is silly. One isn't a strength feat at all and the other is being touted as strength feat.
Good post Rage...it clearly states he HELD the planet's apart which was the center of two universes pushing against each other. One of the best strength fts I've seen in a long time...hell, don't think there is one better.
Where was that said? I've read every issue and the feat wasn't even mentioned again.
Why wouldn't it be touted as a strength feat? Strength is his primary offensive power and that's seemed to be what was used. My point is that there seems to be some kind of unseen barrier between incursion points that can be pushed on apparently. Maybe he could interact with it physically through some kind of energy manipulation.
Me personally? I think this is just unnecessary analysis on both our parts. It says he held the worlds apart until they broke, very simple.
