As you can see, the rocket springs catapulted Hulk 'faster and farther than ever before'. They propelled him with such force/speed, in fact, that he didn't even begin slowing down until AFTER he busted through the asteroid(last scan.) He must have been moving effing FAST.
Suffice to say: Hulk was essentially a bullet shot out of a gun in that scene. Calling it solely a brute strength feat is, well, wrong. Did it require a great deal of strength/durability? Sure. Is it remotely comparable to walking up to a mass twice the size of earth and destroying it with a single punch? Absolutely not. The added force/speed/velocity gained from the rocket springs was detrimental to that feat. This is unarguable.
I'd also like to remind everyone that from a composition standpoint, asteroids=/=planets. Thus destroying an earth-sized asteroid is not indicative of being able to destroy the earth itself. After all, if we're trying to say that Grey Hulk is a planetary power, then Pineapple Thing must be as well, given their battle in F4 #320.

Don't think anyone here is saying that it's a pure strength ft. Also, using a fight against Pineapple thing to justify Hulk's strength is, wrong on all accts.
