Superman Prime vs the strongest version of Hulk

Even if Hulk had actual infinity strength and everything he touched exploded and his very clap would have the force to destroy a planet, Prime would win.

Theoretically, the strongest version of hulk IS limited by how angry he gets. There is a limit on how angry any humanoid can get, so that does limit hulk's power.
Prime is a cosmic being (to all intents and purposes, he IS the super sun of the future). He has no such restrictions.

It's not "how angry he gets," It's the amount of adrenaline released, which can have no limit, as his size slightly increases along with the dramatic strength increase. Forget all the technicalities. This is a comic book, and the rules of human physiology and psychology don't apply. If the writers say Hulk has access to limitless strength, he has it.

Regardless, limitless strength won't be enough to beat Superman Prime.

Indeed. Not even an whole army of War Hulks could defeat Superman Prime.

How, considering Hulk's strength being virtually limitless is canon?

You are assuming that there is an exact proportional increase in anger and strength -- yet no writer has ever stated in what proportion his strength increases with his anger, so...how do you know that once his anger "tops out," his strength will also -- but that can't be the case, because, quote, "his strength is, for all intents and purposes, limitless."

Erm no version of Hulk is beating Superman Prime though.

Yeah, it does. The strength increase is always temporary. But adreanaline will continue to flow in larger quantities. The longer he stays angry, the stronger he gets. The strength increase doesn't wear off until the stressor is removed.

There's no BSing a science explanation for Hulk. He does too much for the adrenaline thing to make sense. It would burn off far too quick.

LoL, some forget that his stress/adrenaline levels not only increase his strength; it also increases his ability to heal more quickly.

Ask Wolverine in IH #345, was it? Todd Mcfarlane pencilled.

Vector burned his skin and tissue off. Gladiator burned a hole in his chest. He healed from both quite quickly.

And that begs the question -- Hulk can leap into orbit. Surely he will be sitting still, Indian Style, while Prime uses his heat ray vision (although Hulk can't beat him anyway)?

Perhaps the strength gained after the adrenaline release is maintained.

But, in all actuality, science would give a very poor explanation for Hulk. His strength increases with anger and adrenaline release, that's all we know. Where the hell does Bruce gain 900+ pounds of gamma irradiated muscle from anyway?

Meh, if that's the case, explain Superman even remotely approaching light speed considering mass increases exponentially as one approaches the speed of light.

Hell, he'd be Oprah Winfrey after two steps, Star Jones after four steps, Al Roker after 6 steps...he'd implode and create a singularity before 50 yards.

Superman can't run or fly at lightspeed. The "speedforce" is what keeps the Flash from becoming a black hole.

I agree, but you cannot tell that to some Superman fans around here...

Superman, specifically, runs at 128 miles per second, and flies at 2000 miles per second. Without a "speedforce aura" Superman would implode before he took two steps at lightspeed.

Yeah I know "Superman raced the Flash," but the old Flash couldn't run at lightspeed. Wally West would toast Superman.

This is Superman Prime, not your regular Superman.

We were discussing something else and are aware of the difference between the two.

Isn't the strongest form of a creature with limitless strength kind of a paradox? For all we know there could be a Cosmic Hulk persona still lingering in Banner's subconcious that could clap his hands and create subspace rifts and burp up quantam singularities.

Even so, Hulk has speed limitations, so he could never hit as hard as Superman can due to sheer velocity and the mechanics of throwing a punch. Lifting/grapplng strength and punching force don't go hand in hand.

Prime would win.

We all agree.

If hulk's strength is based on his anger, then anybody could just give him some prozac or happy pills and make him chill out before whhooping his asss
