Don't confuse logic with compliance with modern science.
Superman himself has said that Hulk is stronger than anyone he has ever faced.
Hulk's greatest feat of strength: Moving an inertial mass greater than that on a neutron star. A neutron star has an inertial mass far greater than that a solar system.
As I have said, and you have ignored, nothing Superman has done compares. Not holding a microscopic black hole, not pushing War World. Nothing.
When has Superman performed a greater feat of strength? None of the feats you have mentioned remotely compare to resisting the matter-antimatter attraction.
The longer Superman fights, the weaker he becomes. The longer Hulk fights, the stronger he becomes.
Superman's strength is not limitless, and it has never been said to be limitless. Superman's body is a solar battery that has a limit to the amount of solar energy it can absorb. When Superman absorbed all the sunlight he could, he emerged from the Super Sun, hence the name "Superman Prime." Superman's strength is not infinite.
Hulk is an infinity of physical strength, and he doesn't need any help from the sun, or anything else to get stronger. The more stress his body and mind are put through over time, the stronger he becomes. The more pain he experiences, the stronger he becomes. The more fear he experiences, the stronger he becomes. The more anger he experiences, the stronger he becomes. His insane regeneration makes it virtually impossible for him to die. I'm no fanboy, and I have nothing against Superman. I realize Superman is more powerful than the Hulk. He simply isn't stronger than the Hulk.
Superman's strength has a limit.
Hulk's does not.
Superpowered beings pushing planets, and such is not logical. The Hulk punching the earth off orbit would kill us. I've heard scientists say if the earth were off by one degree in either direction we'd either freeze, or have major warming.
-As far as Superman and the Earth Stealers. Notice though, that in the comic book the weight of that object was inestimable. It's not me saying this it's the comic.
-Yes Superman said that the Hulk is stronger than anyone he's ever fought. Superman didn't say that the Hulk was stronger than him, he just said he's the strongest he's gone up against.
-Also remember when Superman beat Thor in the Justice League/Avengers Crossover. Superman stated that Thor was probably the single toughest opponent he's ever faced.
Concerning Superman Prime, he came out of the sun (that he had been hypernating in for 16,000 years) to destroy Solaris. Not because he reached his absorption limit.
You said Hulk's "greatest" feat of strength was moving an inertial mass greater than that of a neutron star. What issue/year did that happen?
If we are going with the "greatest" feat of strength ever, then I could start using Pre-Crisis Superman, or Superman Prime. Both of which are so overpowered it's ridiculous.
If Superman doesn't take a sun-bath then he does have a limit to his strength. If he does bath in the sun his powers go up. The longer he's in the sun the higher up his powers go. Depending on how close he is to the sun depends on how fast and how much power he gets.
