that doesn't make any sense.
I understand it just fine.. and if the magnitude needed to push those apart was infinate, than they simply would have stalemated the hulk indefinitely... converging together as they were, would have resulted in a universal black hole yet that didn't happen and yet hulk resisted it.. I gather from that, that the device isn't all you crack it up to be... simple as.
I have seen hulk do it.. I didn't say he didn't do it... where did you get that from? 🤨
like how hulk doesn't normally reach the amount of stress he needs to fight onslaught?
he punched a dead rock, who hasn't... hell gladiator's done that... superman's done more of the same.. punching power doesn't equate to lifting strength.
I recall him getting staggered by heavy debris... suffice it to say doomdsay's punch would be much more effective than debris...
Hulk can normally increase his strength to that level, given time and stress, without psychic intervention. Hulk getting angry requires a plot device. The "plot device" card can't be pulled in this situation.
Hulk doesn't need to be at Onslaught anger levels to perform greater feats of strength than Supes, or Doomsday.
The purpose of the matter-antimatter feat was to show that Hulk's strength can be equally as infinite as the force of attraction between matter and antimatter. He did stalemate the orbs. They weren't converging. He defied the laws of physics.
He punched a dead rock with twice the mass of the Earth, and reduced it to rubble. That isn't impressive? Punching strength directly correlates to lifting strength in comic books. Besides, which is more relevant to a fight? Punching, or lifting?
